This Guy says we have a deal in place with Marc Colombo

Bad signing.

So, how did PFF grade Colombo last season?

This answer that for ya?

@PFF_Alex
Alessandro Miglio
Marc Colombo, according to @ProFootbalFocus: -34.1, 3rd-WORST OT in the league. -25.0 pass blocker.

praising jimmy wilson, excited for him how he will do on special teams, also on the back end when the ball is in there, "ball finds him", loves his physicality

Volin:

BenVolinPBP Sparano doesn't say much about Columbo being a starting OT or backup. But it must be noted that V Carey has a $7 mil cap number this year

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.

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.

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

ArmandoSalguero Here is the update on Marc Colombo joining the Dolphins and what Tony Sparano said about it: http://bit.ly/4DyzAw

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.

he struggles mightily to play RT, holy sh$$$T don´t even wanna think about him on the left side

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?

Colombo is just f'n awful. wtf

i really have no problem with him as a backup, just hope there is no thing with carey going on, VERNON IF THEY ASK TO RESTRUCTURE, FREAKIN DO IT !!!

WOW RANDY MOSS HAS RETIRED FROM FOOTBALL

"After weighing his options and contemplating offers, he's decided to retire," said Randy Moss' agent, Joel Segal.

Why are people assuming he will be on the final roster, nevertheless as a starter? There are 90 spots available right now. Considering Long is on PUP, there is a little overreaction at this point IMO.

Wow on Randy

This is true, but still, a surprising sign.

Can you list the snails measurables?

Would there be a overreaction if the Dolphins ran a contest to award a winning fan a roster spot to backup a position on the offensive line? Same Thing. thus the reaction.

More signings to come?

OmarKelly Marc Colombo won't be the only O-line move made today. The Dolphins are working out a handful of offensive linemen. Stay tuned.

You should probably pay more attention if you think ex-Cowboys signing have been anything other than a big net positive.

Could just be doing Colombo a favor by bringing him in? Long isn't going to play in the preseason, or so it seems. We need bodies at tackle just so we have a rotation of guys through the preseason. We talked to Ray Willis yesterday too.
