We can't be happy with our nickel backs,right?

The fact that we are not the only team that has concerns about our defensive backfield, yet he remains unsigned. Given his reputation and previous demonstrated skill set; something tells me the league does not feel he is worth a spot at this time.

We need someone

How could anyone be happy with Nickleback. There is actually a police department in Canada, Nova Scotia I think it was that makes people they pick up for DUI listen to Nickleback in the back of the squad car on the way to Jail. Everybody thinks Canadians are nice, I married one so let me tell ya, it's a front.

Oh, and the yet stink on Revis is so thick there is no way he could be tolerated in the locker room so give it up already, Revis Island is sinking due to climate change. He got old, and the tide don't stop risin'. He was good, but Woodson he ain't.

Legit concern about the slot receivers. I think our scheme is going to rely more on safeties and LBs to cover those routes and we actually have some versatile depth to come in nickel packages. Misi, Michael Thomas, Aiken. for example. I could see three S on the field with our personnel also. Jones, Abdul and Allen maybe.

I'm not as down on McCain as some. I agree there were times last year that he wasn't great, but a lot of factors go in to that. If Kwon and Timmons can help us play the run better. That is going to help everyone on the defense. Our DBs are working hard and improving. BM can too.

Tramaine Brock might have a pending suspension but he is far and away the best option at slot CB. He is as solid as they come in coverage and is also excellent in run support. He came up as a FS. He is also just 28 years old. He is in his prime.

Our veteran DB's could be a good influence on him. He would instantly give us a top secondary on paper, instead of going into the season with doubts.

What are the details of his domestic violence arrest. This FO doesn't seem to embrace jackassery.

I brought this up a couple months ago but Armando wrote an article the other day about Revis..

But the idea of the Dolphins benefiting somehow from having a Darrelle Revis is nonetheless interesting because it would improve the competition at the slot cornerback position — a position Revis has played during his career.

id be all over him for several reasons, im hoping that tannebaum gets his one splash for the year...I think our group is young and talented enough to go for revision and allow him to play the nickel and teach our three young corners the trade..

makes too much sense to me.

Im hoping tannebaum can rekindle

I can't imagine Revis being a good deal for us. He's always moved around for money. We're not paying Revis money for a nickelback.

If I understand the circumstances, he slapped his girl friend and gave her fat lip. She received no medical attention so it sounds like he lost control for a moment, but didn't really hurt her. There was nothing said about any alcohol or drugs involved.

I think it is the first time he has had an issue while in the NFL. He did drop out of the U of MN because he failed to qualify academically for his senior year. Talented guy to take a flier on IMO, but I like the case for building a smarter football team as well. If he has realized he needs to change his ways, I'm all for second chances, however, if he handles this adversity badly, I wouldn't want him around.

I legit don't see the major problem with our secondary. Guess I'm, the only one.

I think you have to look at the situation a bit more deeper than what your saying..there are factors involved that could be a positive, imo, if he wants back into the league, I believe he's doing it for the right reasons, and he's lost his leverage in doing so..with our inexperience at the position we surely could benefit long term with our young three talented corners learning from a top 3 corner of all time.

unmotivated?..yes..loss of athleticism...not imo...remotivated to prove something, to rebuild the rep on the way out.? absolutely.

inexperience, and not a lot of inside skillsets to match the slot.

Our secondary is already in far better shape than last year. I fully expect Lippett to make another step up this year like he did last year. Maxwell, Howard are solid and Howard is looking better than that. McCain might get a little shaky at times but the idea of bringing Revis in is crazy to me. I mean did any of you guys watch him play last year? He was awful and the only thing left to him that was Revis Island is his name. On top of that he has always been a me first player as evidenced by his consistent contract holdouts nearly every year he was in his prime with the Jets.

Not just no, HELL NO!

Inexperience is questions and questions don't equal major problem.

Skillsets? McCain and Tank should do just fine.

having three young corners who are really inexperienced is not a positive, it can hurt you, the growth of those players is important, and who teaches them is important as well..Revis would kill two birds..give them that mentor we currently lack on the roster for them, and big time coverage ability on the field..

I'm sure you feel the same here Fin, I'm trying to win a championship, and adding revis, if he's in this for the right reasons, is an incredible fit for our situation..

btw, as long as the contract were to fit, why would anyone be against is what im puzzled about..lol..

You're not understanding my point.

There are question marks. However, question marks aren't the same thing as major problems. Major problems would be similar to the interior of our line, for example. Thill's knee, is a question mark.

If question marks were the same thing as major problems then every team has units that are either major problems or good.

Hey, I'm all for taking a flyer on him at the right price. I'm just basing my assumption off his personal history.

Reevis ranked just three spots ahead of Bobby McCain last year, according to PFF.

Brock is by far the better player and is in his prime at 28 years old. Reevis is just going to be somebody's egregious waste of money.

kind of a god point. We were 15th in total pass. 7 teams were lower and made playoffs too. I think the run defense was so bad, I mashed the pass defense too. However, our nickels suck

It's not just that, but Jones is back from injury, X is neither injured nor a rookie, McCain is not terrible and we brought in Nate Allen. Not to mention Tankersly is probably the real deal. Between returning from injuries and acquisitions like Allen, McDonald and Tank, our secondary should look dramatically different this year.
