We should take a shot on Michael Sam
47 repliesLocked
Mike Silver tweeted today that Michael Sam is not expected to make the Rams final roster (having trouble linking from my phone).
If true, I think we need to take a shot. He's been great this preseason, and the alleged media circus/fallout of having an openly gay player on an NFL roster has proven to be nonexistent.
At the very least, bring him in until Jordan makes it back and go from there.
Tin Indianforum_veteranNo. We are already deep as heck on the D Line and I don't see where he is better than any of our backups. Don't need him. If you want to grab him and stash him on the practice squad maybe. Would the rules even allow that?

Because the Rams have probably the best and deepest line in the league. They could go almost 12 deep with NFL caliber players.
Sam is a good player, good pass rusher.
He will make a roster.
KeyFinforum_veteranMike Silver has a proud history of being wrong, so I'd save this conversation for when he actually gets cut.
Winning football games at any level comes down to winning in the trenches.
Tin Indianforum_veteranTrue enough about the Rams D line, But we aren't exactly loaded with bums there.
I agree that he should be able to get on a roster somewhere.

really now...... the Rams' have the deepest defensive line in the NFL..... just because they're the worst team in their division doesn't mean they don't have talent....... we as Dolphins' fans should know what it's like to have a Top 3 defense and not make the playoffs consistently.

Hi Michael.
That's why they play the games!:yes:

I'm not suggesting that we need him, but if we were in need of a DE, he would be a very fine choice.

OK. I'll buy that.

I dunno, we've never been able to drop the gay card on a sunday before.
I know what you're thinking and he was not a Catholic priest!
He's versatile enough to do the halftime show, also
He's used to getting penetration
I heard he sucks...

Not a position of need. Talent wise...no because of the Phins depth, Hype wise....lets get him and make him an instant shoe in for Canton. I feel bad for Sam regarding the overhyped coverage that kid is getting. Pathetic and shameful but was it going to be anything else? I hope he makes it but he was on the backfoot from the start. He has been made a prototype robocop regardless of his actual talent level. Not great from the sports press point.
PhinFan1968subscriberYa by the media coverage you'd think Johnny Football went #1 and Sam #2.
Shameful garbage. I mean, I know Sam is a human interest story, but it doesn't need to get quite as much as it does. Manziel's just garbage...

At the expense of???? Fede? Shelby? No thanks
That's the question right there. Sam has played well, but I don't like his potential more than Fede's and I don't think he'd contribute better than Wake, Vernon or Shelby. If Sam had been on our team this preseason and played similarly, I don't believe he'd make our team either. Much like the Rams, DL is one of the strengths of our team.
Silverphinforum_veteranOnly reason why I'm saying no is because I think we're deep enough at D-line.

Headcoach material wouldn’t want to work somewhere they’re not trusted with actual football decisions.

He's in a meh market so they're not about to take Manziel's penis out of their mouth just so they could throw money away covering football in Jacksonville.
He's gonna have to win 5 Superbowls before he gets the attention manziel gets just by taking a selfie with some hookers and showing up 4 hours late to rehab.

What's pretty hilarious also is that kid Hill came in Texas A&M's first game w/o Johnny, and busted out 511 yards passing, breaking Johnny's mark. ESPN proceeded to jump all over HIS nuts too.

Vertical Limitforum_veteranSam has a huge chip on his shoulder, but I think it's because of what he represents... I wouldn't dump Fede for Sam... A bunch of 7th round/undrafted players are just as motivated as Michael Sam, they're all in the NFL for a shot at changing their lives dramatically.
