So is it safe to assume Dion Jordan is done with football

Deja Vu

I was in bed thinking who can replace Wake so I thought about Dion Jordan then I found out he's getting fat

The last Ireland draft was pretty much a f you to dolphin nation. Five picks in the top three rounds was supposed to be the foundation of future Super Bowls and it resulted in a big pile of poo.

The sad truth is that Jordan is an ineffective passrusher and an absolute liability against the run, so really, who cares if he comes back, he can be replaced by a 5th round pick.

Man... To think I wanted him as an OLB more than anybody else in that draft...

What a bum. Maybe Philbin was right not to give him many opportunities.

He actually performed pretty well when he could get on the field. As a pass rusher, against the run and in coverage. The real liability against the run has been Vernon.

With that said, I have no expectations for Dion.

this picture is months old and has been posted in this forum months ago.

I'm hoping the guy can get his mind right and focus on the blessing it is to play football in the NFL. He has potential and with Wake's return to the team next year in question, we sure could use him.

a young fat millionare who never worked a day in his life...what a waste of lucky given talent..shame on me.

old news is old.

I dont like tobbe reminded of that draft.. Vomit

To play devils advocate here, this pic is at least two months old now. A professional, of which I'm not saying Dion Jordan is, could get from this status to playing shape in a month.

Ive given up on Jordan, hes a ****ing idiot, but this pic doesn't specifically say anything other than hes suspended and apparently not spending every day working out.

The real ****ty part, and I'm sure all of you have realized this too, is that we drafted Dion for this exact moment. One day Wake wasn't going to be out there. Dion was supposed to take the ****ing reigns.

Why are we always wrong...

My fear is he is the DE of the Jamarcus Russell. Hope Jordan shows us we're wrong.

I'm pretty sure we all thought that pick was going to be Lane Johnson.

I know I was shocked as hell when it wasn't.

Dang.

What surprised me was I was thinking Jordan was using his suspension to get stronger and faster. I thought he was going to look almost like Cam Wake muscle wise. I have a unrealistic mindset thinking that all players try to improve when they aren't playing football. I'm late obviously on this topic as I can see now, my bad but it sucks how our luck is with players. I thought Dion Jordan was a decent pick at the time, so I still have expectations that he'll be a game changer for us.

Chris McCain will get his chance I think to try and fill wakes shoes

That's what I'm hoping.

Isn't this the same picture that was posted last year even?

I'd have to totally disagree, he has just as many suspensions as he does sacks, and most teams would use TEs to block him in the run game, and it worked, that is horrible for a DE, and there is such a small sample size of him in coverage, but that does seem like what he did best, but that isn't a what your looking for in a DE, maybe he could be a LB, but I don't think he has the football IQ to play as an every down LB.

wow. yikes.

Just what i wanted on my sunday morning, to log onto thephins and be reminded of not only the WOFL dion jordan, but the POS ginger as well. thank you.

I think Dion Jordan needs a mentor if we convert him to LB, Zach Thomas would be the perfect mentor just as Marino is to Tannehill.

Truth is, I was thrilled it wasn't Johnson. Didn't want a LT, thought Jordan would wreck havoc with wake and Vernon. Had my head in the clouds and was thinking Giants defense with osi, strahan and tuck. I was thrilled by the trade up, thought "this is the ballsy move that leads to success"

But I really just should have seen the failure coming. I hate my life
