    Michael Sam didn't get his prediction of sacking Tannehill. Couldn't even sack a 4th stringer.

    We can replace those guys, what we cannot replace is a Thomas v Garner decision.

    Thomas=lots of talent
    Garner=Swiss Army knife of an OL

    Decision comes down to basically how many DL's can we retain, if a guy has 5 plays per game can he make them count, can he play ST's at a high enough level?

    He is playing in easily the best division in football. He actually does not have a bad football team, but he just lost his starting QB for the season, and he will have a losing record this year.

    The Rams would be a playoff team in the NFC East. Instead they will probably win 5 games.

    Positives: this might be our bets USAF class ever, and I think we got 13 sacks and only gave up 4 this preseason.

    If Miami cuts a guy like McCain that is plain and utterly stupid. I will consider the Saints.

    45 active players on gameday, where does he fit? This is why when I heard that he was defending Wr's I KNEW the staff is trying to find a way to keep him on the team..they wanted film to backup their argument to keep him

    Fede pushing Shelby off of the roster?

    Tough call, w/MLB's moneyball approach, Fede is under contract for 4 yrs, Shelby for what 1 more?

    You can not agree with his politics...which I dont on some of his stances....but there is not one other Senator out there that is more honest and hardworking then Bernie Sanders. When my Dad was killed in China 6 years ago....his office was amazing.

    Dolphins have some depth on their DL. All I heard was the Ram's depth. Miami has depth.

    Tonight showed why McCain should worked in as a DE in the nickel. He is just so danged slippery. Reminds me of Bryan Cox in that regard.

    Can you imagine any situation where Miami cuts this guy? After a game like tonight that just sound stupid. He kind of had a Gadsden night, only on defense.

    Personally?

    I gotta see it against FIRST STRING players to believe it. Tonight he was whipping a bunch of guys that are going to be flipping burgers. He's too light and not strong enough to do the same thing against first string players. Maybe in time as he gets more strength and weight, develops better technique, etc.

    Give him lots of credit he did REALLY well. But a lot of what he did in pass rush was as a blitzer rather than down rusher, and I think he's a LOT more dangerous to a first string offense as a blitzer than as a down rusher. But he's so quick that in Miami's scheme when they run stunts with McCain cutting to the inside, I think that's his best pass rush move from a down position. That's what I'd have him doing most often when he does work into those speed packages.

    Honestly VT as soon as I heard Dom Arugato Mr Lobato was in the game...I tuned out to what was happening..he is a blot on the experience.

    Upside is, think the OL did fine esp in pass pro, which is good news

    Downside from my pov is ST..still in flux, Sturgis missed, Thigpen was passive, there is no juice there from the players who score points

    Rizzi needs a pot of coffee, a bottle of whiskey and Bailey's and make some hard choices, season started tomorrow, our ST unit is a MESS

    I'm definitely more hopeful/positive after this PS. The O line holds like it has (w/o Thomas) and we should rock ***.

    It is completely amazing, to me at least, how these rookies look...

    So you have question about his worthiness on the roster? You don't think if they cut him he wouldn't be grabbed up in a minute?

    Nah, Cox was a stubby guy who was quick, he put on weight and became a MLB

    McClain on the other hand is a guy who has the "quicks" and the motor to go along with it w/o the weight

    TBH he reminds me more of Hugh Green than Bryan Cox

    So he used a good masking agent for the roids, but not one for the stimulant he was supposedly busted for.

    I never got that. I think most of us pretty much assume he's on the 53. No way in hell he makes it to the PS.

    That is why I asked. I think I perceived you as pointing out his room for serious growth, and where he needs to get to play with the
    first teamers. I agree totally with that. His coverage skills certainly can improve, but he has some serious potential. He is the most shocking performer this season for me. I expected more from guys like Anthony Johnson and Gator Hoskins. But McCain really surprised me. I was just making sure you and I were more so on the same page.

    Gator had a nice catch where he stretched for a 1st down, had some nice blocks, especially on that TD to Hazel, broken coverage also helped on the play though

    Gator is only in question due to his injury situation. I believe he should make the team.

    If for some reason Anthony and Kamal do not make the roster, if they are not claimed I am putting them on the practice squad, and I may add Garrision Smith.
