It's been 1 day

 

Branden Albert..Mike Pouncey...two out of five probowl players..

This can be done..

I have more faith in Dallas Thomas than everyone it seems, I swear unless I totally botched his evaluation coming out I had him as being a solid guard.

There will also be cuts..

Free agency is not over..

Draft is deep.

Maybe a player for player trade at some point.

 

Im not thrilled about the lack of lineman but defense (aside from our lb corp which can't really be helped due to bad contracts), the defense is in great shape

There are still some names out there, hopefully we find someone.

 

I guess they're waiting for the G numbers to come back down b/c those salaries are a little too high. Especially for Gs with injury histories.

 

They got their big key guy in day 1. Now they can wait and pounce on the 2nd tier market for good value.

 

Anthony.collins still out there???

 

yeah, slim pickings. Looks like at least 2 Gs will be drafted. We may have to sign a 2nd tier Center who can play guard.

 

Wharton woulf be a hell of a signing on a 1-2 year deal.

You can't just sign whoever you want by the way. The guy has to want to play in your city and on your team as well.

 

Just filling up the complaint form box again.

 

must be a strange feeling that you can not make it jeff ireland´s fault isn´t it ? LOL

 

Because the popular theory is that if you stopped *****ing for more than one day the full weight of your Crybaby Force would collapse upon itself, causing a B**** & Moan Ore so dense, light would bend around it, which would in turn teeter the Earth's rotation off its axis sending us off hurtling through space colliding with other celestial bodies and ending all life as we know it.

The Dolphin FO's inaction so far is literally saving the world.

 

Hoping for evan Dietrich smith

 

When will then be now?

Dietrich Smith would be a great get for us since he can play C if Pouncey is injured / suspended / sick / a moron

 

lol, why you mad bro?

(Rant was hilarious btw)

 

Dang, didn't catch that Howard signed with Raiders. If Smith signs elsewhere I'll be a little discouraged. RT tackle I can deal with getting a Cyrus K, JuWaun James or Seantrel Henderson to fill. Left Guard I can see a Zach Martin, Xavier Su'a-Filo, David Yankey, and Brandon Thomas all fitting. RG is a question mark. Maybe trade for Maurkice Poucey like some have suggested and move Mike to RG? Other than that, I agree 3 rookies could be disastrous and the scraps out there now are really meh.

 

I'm not sure where Collins is in his negotiations, but since he's not signed, I think the Dolphins should jump in. Collins may not see himself as a RT, but his market has sort of decreased and he'd be a full-time starter. We have the money/cap space. Also, Collins is a guy, should Albert go down like he has for a few games in previous seasons, you could swing over to LT without having to worry for Tannehill's life. It would give the Dolphins a great set of bookend pass protectors. And we'd still have the money to get a guard, like Smith, Wharton (as a band aid), or Garrett Reynolds. Then, we have guys that can compete and we can draft another for the other guard spot.

I'd also be fine with going after Zack Strief. Same principles apply.

 

I heard this Incognito guy went to the probowl last year and has alot of fire. Maybe he could help. :shifty:

 

Heard Bucs got em

 

Help with what? Demolition on my bathroom? Auto-body work?

 

Bring back Cogs (yeah I said it)

 

You're hilarious. Seriously. Keep the gold coming.

 

Shelley Smith and David Joseph and I will need to wash my sheets.

 

I haven't seen that he's signed yet, but I did read that he was visiting the Bucs today. The Bucs/Redskins were in a bidding war, and his price was around $7M when the Redskins' interest sort of faded. He'll likely be a Buc. I still think it's worth the Dolphins throwing their hat in the ring. So he's flying to Tampa? What's another few hundred miles to Miami just to see what the Dolphins might put on the table?

Of course, I have seen nothing where the Dolphins have shown any interest, so there's that. I'm just saying what I would do, which is worth whatever anyone will pay for it (so far, not much, though I'm hopeful!). But I digress -- if you saw a link where the Bucs signed him or have agreed in principle, lemme know or please share!

 

LB's player evaluation:
"His name is Shelley so yuck."

 

"That is a girls name. He must play football like a girl. I don't want a girl on my offensive line. Ireland is a country. A drunk country. He must have always been drunk. Common sense people."

 

I don't think LB is completely wrong here. A little impatient, maybe. But not all that wrong.

We literally have 3 positions without starting caliber players across a single unit.

1) Relying on Dallas Thomas to be a starter after he couldn't get on the field for a single snap during a historically bad season from our OGs, 1 player walking off the team, and another being suspended indefinitely is not promising for his future in this league.

2) Relying on a drafted rookie O lineman rarely works out well. Those guys that come into the league and produce effectively and immediately are usually drafted with the first ten picks in the draft. We don't have one of those. And even if we did, it's still a big gamble.

I'm satisfied with the Albert pickup, but I really think that we should've overpaid if we had to for another solid FA lineman given our dire circumstances. We had the money to do so. Now, it looks like there's not many solid options out there.

 

I'll say this. When the same alarm was raised last year, with the head scratching moves on oline, there was blowback.

"What, do you know more than the FO?"
"They have a plan."

Etc. etc.. The problem? We're even more bare this year than last! So let's see what happens ...

 

Exactly. Relying on guys that were never remotely successful to all of the sudden be successful (Jon Martin, John Jerry) bit us in the *** hard last year.

Doing it this year with guys like Dallas Thomas and/or rookies will likely result in the same sort of disaster

 

I'd be fine with us getting Wharton and Colon.

 

Tackle in 2nd

Sign a OG and draft 1 too.

We are fine

 

Guards are probably the easiest to plug in an average guy and have him play well if there is a good tackle next to them. Not worried there. I'd like to fix up our RT position though.

 

Davin, not David. I'd rather have Colon and Wharton myself.

 

I'd guess a guy named Shelley would have to be one mean ornery mofo. Can you imagine growing up with that name? It's like in that old Johnny Cash song, A Boy Named Sue. He'd be fighting all the time. Either get tough or die.
