Well he wouldn't be a dolphin if he wasnt from dallas first.....

 

Good work, Detective!

 

Rotoworld has it as well......and I believe its for depth...

 

It's uncanny.

I think every single move the Dolphins have made so far has been a move I've publicly denounced well before it actually happened.

Prime example, a few weeks ago padre31 says to me (paraphrasing), "A lot of players are going to be cut by the Cowboys. Marc Colombo could be one of them. I could see the Dolphins grabbing him." To which I reply, "Colombo is old and played like sh-t the last few years, got Tony Romo killed. I have no idea why they'd be interested in him."

Sure enough, Marc Colombo signs on the dotted line.

And people think I'm just taking a sh-t on every move the Dolphins make just for the hell of it, as if I'd normally praise these moves if done by another team, but because the Dolphins did it I have to disapprove. They can go on thinking that if they want. They're wrong, and ignorant to boot. What keeps happening is a move gets proposed hypothetically, I say "I wouldn't do that, because of X, Y and Z" and then the Dolphins do it...and suddenly everyone expects me to change my mind, which I would find to be the very definition of being an irrational homer.

 

Insurance in case Long might be out longer then expected?

 

If its for depth its a great signing. If he is going to start then why in the heck?

 

They're not going to cut Carey for Colombo. At least I hope not, as it would be a disaster. Colombo has little left in the tank.

 

I don't guess they are signing Colombo for depth. It is to be a starter. He is 32 but started at least 15 games 4 of the last 5 years.
Could they plan to move Carey to guard? More likely cut or trade I guess.

 

Sounds like they're trying to get Carey to take a pay cut.

 

I would much rather start Nate Garner at RT than Marc Colombo.

 

So, how did PFF grade Colombo last season?

 

A waste of a roster spot. I consider Nate Garner to be better.

 

Mando says:

 

Most likely, but you still have to give him competition at the spot.

 

Omar:

 

Jeff D:

 

Bad signing.

 

This answer that for ya?

 

Volin:

 

What should be a strength for both the team and this regime isn't and that , to me , is not a leading indicator of success .

 

Pretty much. Thanks. I think we are all going to cringe if he becomes the RT and Carey is cut. For once the U of My Eyes guys and the PFF guys will be agreeing.

 

Who is this everyone you speak of?

 

lol Romo got killed bc a rookie FB screwed up his blocking assignment.

If they let go Carey to start Colombo, that will not sit well. Colombo is pretty much done I thought. I saw snails do a faster kickslide than Marc Colombo last year.

 

If they play him at LT it must mean they really hate Henne.

 

More wasted resources on a Cowboys reject that can't play. This regime really is an atrocity.

 

Cue circus music.

 

The people running the Miami Dolphins are idiots. Thats plain as day to some. If they go into the season with Henne and Moore at QB, what exactly is the point of watching? To see how high in the draft they select?

 

Marc Colombo last played well...2 years ago.


and has deteriorated ever since.

Look, I am a Dolphin fan, I WANT them to do well..but there is no explanation for this move. There is no supporting film, no angels on a shoulder, no "upside", no SHOT of him returning to being a good player. The horse left the barn with him.

He is not even a good option as a backup at RT.

why can't good players be former Cowboys?
