Kevin White is a gifted big physical receiver from West Virginia. He is 6-3, 210 lbs. the first thing most people think about White is that he will be a heck of a redzone threat – which is true as evidenced from the photo above. But first let’s talk about his background.
Although a talented high school prospect, White did not have the academic credentials to play Division 1 football out of high school. So he went to Junior College, which probably explains why no one heard about him two years ago. When he transferred to West Virginia he had a modest junior year catching 35 passes for a little over 500 yards. But in his senior season he was as powerful Supernova – he exploded on the scene catching 109 passes, for 1447 yards and 10 TDs. Holy Quasars!!!
That might worry some scouts. He is a bit of a one year wonder. In an interview with Dane Brugler, White explained that in 2013 he didn’t know what to expect but with a lot of offseason training and working on his routes he was able to dramatically improve.
Whatever the reason for his dramatic improvement was, he became quite a threat when he he had the football in his hands in 2014. 10 TDs! I would love to see Ryan Tannehill throwing to a big WR like that who can run after the catch. Considering how many shorter routes the Lazor offense has, this is exactly the kind of receiver the Dolphins can use.
What White does really well is attack the ball at the point of attack. I expect this guy to jump well over 40″ at the combine. He can go up there and fight for the ball. He consistently catches the ball away from his body. He has hands the size of a Zorracian Moon Octopus and uses them to catch the ball.
But its more than raw physical talent. Its technique this guy is a craftsman! He has excellent hand technique. Its going to be really hard for DBs to press White in the NFL. White is a huge Larry Fitzgerald fan and models his game after Fitzgerald and while he is a possession receiver in the same way Fitzgerald is, some scouts think a better comparison is Ashlon Jeffrey.
But if I had to compare Kevin White to any weapon I would compare him to a H-Alpha Cannon! Big Hops, Big Hands, Great Hand Technique – BOOM!!! Anyone knows that is an H-Alpha Cannon.

Only thing I’m going to say about the post Piggy is he went to WVU. I am biased of course, but historically a lot of their players don’t do very well professionally.
Yeah
They haven’t had a ton of success

Varga is awesome. I have had a chance to see him live several times and the kid is a beast. Good receiver out of the backfield as well. My next door neighbor coaches secondary at Yale and he had lots of good things to say about Varga.
The kid is a triple threat. …run, catch, and block. He’ll make some team very happy come draft time.
He can block. Also keep an eye on Yale’s qb for next year’s draft. Morgan Roberts. He transferred from Clemson 2 years ago and really can play. He had an excellent season. Yale really surprised a lot of people this year after being a pretty bad team for a number of years. I like the head coach. Tony Reno. He runs a wide open offense over there.
In a perfect world, I would have gotten Dawson in the 2nd and Tomlinson in the 3rd.
Random thought: I hope the new version of the stadium is more crowded and louder than the version represented by the picture at the top of the blog.
Playoff team wouldn’t hurt with that.
Bookman bringen the weed!
Seriously lets hope it’s louder than shit!
And it’s Fin Fans cheering!
Wassup? We have an ETA for the blog going public yet? I still can’t log on from work which is why my charming presence has been missed. 🙂 Since I’ve never had a problem with any other wordpress blog I figure it has to be because it’s private.
It’s public now I believe
Is it? I can’t get it to come up in a google search but I know it takes a few days for their crawlers to find a site.
I’m going to be bummed out if I can’t blog from work anymore. That’s when I spend most of my time on the site, lol.
The Yale/Harvard game was actually good this year. Yale definitely gave them a game. I enjoyed watching a good chunk of it.
That was a really good game. Bad day for my neighbor. They played another great game this year vs. Army. I was at that one and Varga was a beast in that. 4 or 5 TDs including the game winner in OT.
Kong, the blog is public now. The training wheels have come off. LOL.
Did it go live today or was it Friday?
Today.
I take that back it may have been at some point yesterday. I have to go back through all my emails to figure out when it did. I think it was today but I am not sure.
Either way it wasn’t early yesterday. Cool, maybe I can get by the work filters now. I’ll find out monday.

If you just type in finsmobunleashed.com in the browser it should get you there. It did for me today.

Good to see Bookman here. I agree better attendance would be nice for us.

It went live this morning
cool, fingers crossed it’ll work for me on monday
Just checking in at the door, lettin’ ya know I still LUV y’all. Thanks to ALL for your requests for me to post here; you ARE appreciated!
Piggy:
Nice breakdown on Kevin White. It looks to be another strong year for WRs
In case you never saw Varga
Here he is
Poor quality video
It’s tough to tell against this level of competition
But he just sprints for the hole
If nothing more I be the can be a good ST player
On NFL Radio they were talking about Varga when he was invited to go to the Senior Bowl. Varga was the #3 rated overall prospect in the CFL draft but he declined to go to the CFL because he wants to play in the NFL.
Hey guys! Nice scouting report Wedgy!
Alright guys I need to get some sleep.
Forgot to say peace to you all.
Peace Ken
An Oinkee Poll was added
Can’t vote for a guy that was suspended 4 games (Jones), Wake disappears in too many big games, Grimes and Mitchell aren’t bad choices but Grimes was pretty average the second half of the season and Mitchell was part of a unit that flat out collapsed the second half. I voted for Mitchell by default but I’d probably pick Jelani Jenkins only because our LB unit would have been screwed without him.
I like the Jenkins choice Kong. He was clearly the only overachiever on the defense.
Hey M! Glad you made it!
Out folks! Goodnight
Updated:
My watch/favorite list for the draft as of today is as follows.
OL- La’el Collins-LSU, Laken Tomlinson-Duke, Arie Kouandjio- Alabama
DT- Danny Shelton-Washington, Malcom Brown- Texas, Michael Bennett- Ohio St.
WR- Phillip Dorsett- Miami, Justin Hardy- ECU, Ty Montgomery- Stanford
ILB- Denzel Perryman- Miami, Paul Dawson-TCU, Shaq Thompson- Washington
TE- Maxx Williams- Minnesota, Clive Walford- Miami
CB- D’Joun Smith-FAU, Jalen Collins-LSU, Senquez Golson- Ole Miss, Steven Nelson- Oregon St.
FS- Chris Hackett- TCU, Jaquiski Tartt- Samford
If we could somehow get 5 of these guys in the draft, I would do cartwheels.
some good names I like in there, as well as some missing 🙂
Yea, my list is always in a state of flux. 😉
Phlbin is a fan of Danny Shelton too
GAME DAY…32 weeks from now…ugh.
maybe the admins can insert a countdown clock 🙂
That’s so far away. That’s why I break it down into the combine, free agency, draft, training camp, then opening day.

Glad to see that Branden Albert wants Mike Wallace back. You can’t underestimate the value of that. Very happy to see that, and I’d say it’s a very strong indication he will be back. Work things out, it’s the right thing to do.
Unless it creates a cluster fuck in the locker room!
I’m not a Philbin basher but he doesn’t seem to have the pulse of the players?
Sometimes I’m not sure Philbin has a pulse period. lol
Not sure if Wallace will be back or not — we all saw what happened with Vontae. Pretty positive though that he wouldn’t if he could be cut with a small cap hit though.
Nice piece Pig — and what a shocker that your first prospect looked at is a wideout. 🙂
Wyo
Philbin is going to have to learn more about Coach-player relationships. If the players like Mike, I don’t think it will it will tear the team apart necessarily, but it won’t win him any points either. He has to do what’s best for the team, but he has to be very careful in his judgement on this one. Not only would it make some guys on the team unhappy, but we lose a lot of production, and I think potential production as well, and it won’t be easy to replace right away.
Danny Shelton is 6’2″ and 339 lbs. That is pure NT size, yet he is athletic enough that he played both DE and DT at Washington. That’s impressive.
Good morning :-[
I used to watch so much football, college and pro. I just can’t do it any more. I don’t know exactly why. Tim had mentioned a few things I agree with like Joe this game is being officiated; having a family and different responsibilities had added to it; besides that, I used to go out and actually, you know, play a little football with done friends. Interestingly enough, I think my willingness to consume has gone down in relation to the increase in access- when we were younger, we had our local paper, football magazines we could buy at the bookstore (Smith’s was one of them, I think), and of course what would come on the tv on the weekend. Since those days we have 24/7 sports networks dedicated football, internet, sports bars, blogs.. I may have to consider the overabundance of availability as a contributor to my lack of excitement. I used to have to do some work- now, I just have to say, “Suri- latest info on Miami Dolphins…”
Joe this? Really?
Insert “how this”
There are several others, but I am only halfway through my first cup
Try — maybe I was more excited when I was younger, but in those days I got to see the Phins 3-5 times per year in the NY area. I’ll take any time after sports bars showing the Phins and then Direct TV came into my life.
Stanger – That’s another huge reason not to cut him. You eat too much cap space anyway. I think the only way you get rid of Wallace is through a trade, and that’s extremely unlikely at his bloated salary.
I agree. I am hoping that Philbin and him come to an agreement, but not like players don’t get sometimes when it doesn’t make sense for on the field.
Try – I have definitely lost my fervor for all things sports. I used to watch 100-120 Met games, and now since they haven’t been very competitive, I’ve lessened that substantially. I would watch 20-25 Knicks games, but not anymore. I still watch every Dolphins game, but if there were more than 16, and they weren’t playing well, I’d probably cut down on that as well. I think it’s normal. I’ve become more skeptical about sports, and how fair and on the up and up things are. That hurts my interest too.
Didn’t we play Fede at DE during the season
How about Johnson
Stanger, Mike,
Do either of you think it may be, in part, because we no longer relate to those playing? I don’t mean relate in any one way (age, ethnicity, age, lifestyle, etc.)?
Maybe, but it was changing for me even as I was still playing rugby, which I did till I was 33.
A big difference for me was that age factor though. Will admit there is a difference as it changed from looking at those on the field from gods to men to young men to now kids. Same as with my doctors. That first time you walk and realize yours is younger than you is a moment.
Can someone rah out to boulder? He’s lost and can’t find his way here
Rah= reach
I think Philbin has to learn to deal with different types if players too
But I think he was right for pulling Wallace who was making little effort in final game
Good for Philbin for that move
Now we are stuck with a diva
He needs to deal with it
Unless
We got a really good offer from another team
Until you started bringing it up, I never really thought about it, but I think you make a good point: part of being a coach is being able to deal with different personalities, and the way it had been portrayed it would appear as if Philbin wants only choir boys, which just is not reasonable. They have to be willing to work as a team, and they have to be willing to take responsibility for their craft, but the don’t all have to like to go to church.
Coaches want their guys
And I understand that
I think he has gone a little too Boy Scout though
I think he just to tolerate some different personalities a little more
Other coaches have gone through that before
Agree that he could loosen up a bit, I’d rooting for a team that is like the old Raiders of the Ryan-coached Jets. I like to like the guys on my team.
Try
I just emailed Boulder.

I’d say age more than anything. I think with age comes wisdom, and with wisdom, you see that it’s not really worth wasting so much time on this stuff. That’s what I think, can’t say that applies to everyone though.
I see both of your points (reasons for waning interest in sports). You both more or less say age, and I have considered that alone and in conjunction with other potential reasons. It all leads me back to the ability to relate- I find it harder and harder to do so.
Try — never been particularly religious but when I was a kid about the only time I prayed was to make a deal with god in order for the Pirates to get a key hit back in the ninth inning. Those days are over……might just be the way it is.
I used to get really excited when the off-season college and pro magazines would come out ( Street and Smith’s?). If it had a Hurricane or a Dolphin on the cover, even better. I also liked when the Dolphin Digest would come in the mail. It was usually a week late, for some reason, but it made the team seem more a part of my life, like I was one of an exclusive few who had inside info on the team. Lol
I’ll say it!
The THUG lifestyle turns me OFF!
I can’t stand the NBA anymore!
But that is a personal thing
I work with the thugs and bangers on the jobsite because I get paid too!
But for my entertainment choices I can turn the channel!
I got to say, if it was all a bunch of Mormons playing and not people of different backgrounds and ethnic makeup, I still don’t know that I’d feel any different, although I admit the so-called “thug lifestyle” is not something that attracts me, either, but that is mostly because that is a generation and a half behind mine.
Try
Getting a Dolphins Digest in the mail was exciting as hell! That was before the proliferation of 8,000,000 different sports websites. Saturated now, just too much sports on the web, and especially on TV
Yep- nothing feels exclusive anymore.

Gotta pick up the new toy! 🙂
Sweet, those are a lot of fun! Enjoy!
I saw you posted that the other day- that’s pretty awesome.
Trypod,
It is a combination of things mentioned above: advancing age, us maybe not relating to the players now as they are much younger, the sports industry becoming more like a business now, etc. But Mike briefly touched on the biggest factor – success, or the lack thereof. If a team starts winning, fans are much more invested in their teams. If your team is very succesful, you make a much greater effort to watch them, and your interest is much greater as well. I for one can tell you that I have watched more Islanders games this season that the past five combined.
Joe is still striving for that winning 9-7 mark, then they will come…lol 😉
For sure on that. Always amazed at how many fanatic fans a team has when they hit the playoffs, even if they can only name like five players on the team.
That’s not us for sure…….but we’ve all seen the swings in intensity with our group btwn winning and losing streaks.
And I’m the same way with other sports. Been following the Pirates a whole lot more the last two years. Sure I knew the players, but last year I bought the MLB package.
“This comes as no real surprise as Clay and DT Jared Odrick are Miami’s top two free agents. Clay is coming off a down year where he fought through a season-long knee injury. It should help lower his price.”
Whether to us or someone else, what do you guys think Clay gets? I’m thinking in the four-to-five mil range.
That;s exactly where I was thinking Stanger- about $4million.
If he even had average TE blocking skills you could tack an extra $2 mil per year on that.
I’d keep my offer real reasonable, if he wants too much then give that money to Julius Thomas or Gresham.
I left out the most important part of that quote — the Dolphins have expressed “privately” that they want to re-sign Clay.
How does someone privately express something? Isn’t the mere fact that you are expressing something inherently not a private act?
I’m sure they do, why not, he knows the new offense, he should come very reasonable to stay home, he’s proven to be a good receiver, and he just needs to prove he can stay healthy a full season.
No one commented on Ol Willie Nelson’s yearbook photo of him as a football player back in 1948…maybe OD will appreciate it 😉
What’s up FUers? I just liked saying that. LOL.
My kids have websites stored in favorites. I’m waiting for my son to say “Dad, what F me? No, FU mean?”

I don’t think Wallace’s status is just based on Philbin. I think it’s the entire org including his teammates. He quit on his team. This isn’t about Philbin can’t handle egos, it’s about a player willing to quit.
I think it’s a moot point regardless. I can’t see us getting rid of him in any capacity. Albert probably doesn’t feel as strongly as he wasn’t playing in the last game.
Ever the Philbin apologist…jk/bb…I think it will be discussed by all the decision makers, not just Philbin. Plus again, as we know, the contract situation should also play a part in that decision, along with any offers or not.
I don’t know if we keep Wallace or not but if I am a betting man I say we don’t. Philbin has proven to be not shy of getting rid of players he sees as a problem child and as evidenced by what he did with Chad Johnson, he doesn’t really care what the other players think. If we wants to move somebody he will. That all said I don’t know what will happen. Maybe Wallace had a come to Jesus meeting with Philbin. We will find out.
Was Gibson in on the meeting? 😉
I think we keep him one more year, and then he’s gone. I just can’t see a scenario where it makes sense to get rid of him. He’s not THAT bad where we have to jettison him immediately,
Lets see what happens in FA and draft. We don’t have to make a move but don’t be surprised if we target a WR or 2 in FA and draft. If so Wallace may well be gone.
Was reading where Gurley is projected by several scouts as a day 2 pick right about where the Phins are picking…he could provide a nice trade down scenario for us by a playoff team hungry for a RB.
I honestly can’t see him slipping out of the 2nd round.
Fans on the blog have been saying for years that our team quit at the end of the year when they finished poorly. I’ve always said if that’s the case, if I was the coach or GM I’d cut everyone of them if I knew that for sure. We all saw Wallace quit. That said I still don’t see how they can move him without taking a big hit. I can’t see a team trading for him either as they know what his issues are as well.
Yeah, he seems to be our re headed step child for now.
I bet Philbin tells Aponte & Hickey don’t let that kinda contract happen again.
Is this OD’s son?

Billy Rhodes displays his Dolphins-centric body art, even gaining an audience with Mercury Morris, who starred during 1972’s Perfect Season
Lol!
Brian,
You are absolutely correct- winning, or at least success, does contribute to the continuing interest one has. I know this because of my interest in the Miami heat, and that I know much more about what’s going on because of their recent success. I suppose I need to give that more weight in my considerations. But absent of that, it does not answer the overall waning of my interest in consuming the product.
I hear you. Addiitonally,it drains on you over the years if your team is not successful for an extended period of time. I’m currently living in Dolphins, Mets, Knicks and Islanders hell, although the Islanders have given me reason for hope this season. I haven’t seen a championship out of any of those teams in 29 years.
Ken, a certain DGB would make us forget about Wallace pretty quickly 🙂
Agreed.
Tim:
If a guy quit on the team you take the cap hit. To do so otherwise sends the wrong message to the players. That your contract is more important than your performance and effort on the field.
Reason would say then, if they keep him, they do not think he quit on the team, no?
yes or they feel he is truly repentant and won’t do it again. One or the other. We also don’t know all the facts behind what happen so it is hard to figure what is going to happen.
Only Gibson knows for sure…lol
Or the team just makes the wrong decision. That remains a possibility as well.
Sure, and I agree- we DON’T know the true/whole story. We can only speculate on what we have gleaned from various sources, and the reliability we ascribe to them.
Ultimately, I agree with your point, that being the message sent to the team if they keep him when it is believed/proven he quit on the team. Production/performance> contract.

How does someone privately express something?
————————–
Ken — in NFLeeze my guess is that means the Phins started contract negotiations and the first thing Clay’s agent did after he hung up the phone was call the Herald…….off record of course.
I was just being a ball buster. LOL.
I don’t think Wallace quit on the team, I think they shut him down, so he wouldn’t get hurt in a meaningless game they wanted to lose.
Something more happened than just that judging by the heated argument that was observed and reported.
Welcome Steve!
I really did like Wallace and thought he was playing hard almost all season. In partcular the New England game and the Vikings game I thought Wallace showed a lot of toughness. But I am very bothered by the possibility that he may have quit on the team. That is hard to justify to keeping someone like that on the roster if true.
Ken, we clearly saw Wallace quit and walk away from the play.
GDP, Wallace’s contract was an Ireland signing. I don’t think Philbin thinks too much about contracts, just player performance. Coaches need to know they can rely on guys. That’s why Matthews is in the dog house, he seems to be late for meetings and loses concentration is games based on some reports. He’s a former 7th rd pick who doesn’t have big status so it comes down to accountability and reliability, nothing more.
Yeah I know Wallace was a Jeffro signing, and I mentioned Philbin bringing up the contract as he knows it may saddle him with Wallace another year.
I do agree Wallace walked away, I saw it. If he was just being shut down to prevent injury then they have said so, and they surely wouldn’t have had poor Tanny out there getting mauled every 1.7 sec after the snap.
Yeah the pass pro got really ugly down the stretch of that game. That has to be corrected or it will be more of the same in 2015.
Alright my son needs the computer to do homework. I am out for now. Peace.
Later Ken.
Hello Steve- glad to see you here.
Stanger, so are you saying Jim Nabors was a ball buster too or a ball deflater?
LOL — saying that Ken is a bad man is not a shocker….unless you are his kid and need the computer of course. 🙂
Piggy, good writeup on Kevin White. He’s the type of WR I think could help put our offense over the top.
Tim
Big difference (To me at least) between quitting when the playoffs are on the line, and when you were eliminated from the playoffs. Also, as I’ve stated before, it seemed like the whole team was just going through the motions in that game.
Well quitting with the playoffs on the line never made any sense to me. Also what something seems like as opposed to a clear action of quitting are two different things.
Hey Steve – Glad you made it here!
I really can’t see Hartline staying unless he really takes a big pay cut…keep Wallace 1 more year, draft their replacements, or draft one then a FA WR on a short term earn it deal like Crabtree.

It’s hard to say who’s defensive player of the year the way they finished. Wake is Wake, but I’d give it to Jenkins who got thrust into the lineup after Ellerbe got hurt and led the team in tackles and also had 3.5 sacks from a none sack position.
steveccnv — then that shot during the game where Philbin walks up to Wallace where they have a brief exchange and Joe abruptly walks away with a “back to the game” look was all for show. Just not buying it. Good to see you though.
It wasn’t about not risking injury to Wallace. Everyone else was still playing.

Bill Nye says Belicheat is full of shit
Ha!
Is that a news flash?
If ever in the Ozarks of MO. Be sure to stay here with the lil lady. 😉
Went past this one on the way to Key West……think they came up with it before the new meaning of rainbow.
My wife and were driving back from the keys on route 1 and saw a sign Jewfish Cove or something like that and she was like: Jewfish, WTC? LOL
I told her it’s the name for a really big grouper that has been PC renamed to ‘Goliath grouper’.
LOL, yeah & Key West is full of rainbow’s bent over.
Damn, I wonder what they paid this 25yo CB, and I wonder if the Phins had any interest. Saves a draft pick.
Saints signed CB Delvin Breaux.
A shutdown corner in the CFL, Breaux received strong interest from NFL teams this offseason. He lands in a good spot with the Saints, who had some of the worst cornerback play in the league last year. At 6-foot-1, 195, Breaux has prototype size for Rob Ryan’s Press Man concepts. With Keenan Lewis and Terrence Frederick currently atop the Saints’ depth chart, Breaux will have a chance for immediate playing time.

Yes, quite true. Can’t argue that.
Unfortunately I feel our team has worn down late in the year and the main culprit has been the LOS on both sides of the ball. We’re undersized on the DL overall and our OL hasn’t been settled since it started to come apart with Jake’s decline.
BBL – Gotta go to my office. I’m hoping I left my cell phone there, otherwise I’m f’d. 😦
Hope you do, I lost mine this weekend…man it sucks.
Good luck, bro.
This Gator can be had late rounds….could be a good add.
Florida senior OL Max Garcia’s “effort and hand placement have stood out on tape when we’ve studied him this week,” observed Scout’s Inc.
“He’s so good at latching on to his man that he can quickly get back into position even when he loses balance. He isn’t the most physically gifted lineman, but he consistently executes his assignment,” wrote Todd McShay, Steve Muench and Kevin Weidl. Garcia, a former Maryland Terrapin, has made starts at center, left tackle and left guard during his career. CBS Sports’ Rob Rang likes his knee bend and flexibility.
I forgot to add, he’s 6’5 306
We have to fortify the middle of the defense – DT, MLB and the other S position. Then do the same on the OL at G with Pouncey back at C and hoping Albert is ready to go at LT with James back at RT. Hopefully some of those positions are already on the roster, they just weren’t ready in 2014.
Jordan and McCain have to help Wake and Vernon by getting more snaps. We’re undersized at DE so we need to split the snaps more to keep the pass rush fresh late in games and in the season.
wow, just two days of going live and this blog turns into football talk. wtf. i thought this blog was about making fun of tim.
Feel free, I’m not afraid. 🙂
(Piggy throws a rotten tomato at Tim)
This is just me thinking about the defense. It doesn’t mean the team agrees with me. LOL
Sign a stout anchor DT in the mid-range pay scale. A guy who can keep our LBs clean. I would roll with that guy, Mitchell and Starks. Let Odrick walk, he’s the guy who is a UFA and will be looking for his biggest payday whatever that is. I really feel Fede can do what Odrick does at a much cheaper rate, and I like Odrick. He just never reached the level I thought he would.
Hope to get Misi healthy, maybe even Ellerbe and draft an athletic LB to go along with Jenkins. I don’t see any reason to keep Wheeler on board. He doesn’t fit what we’re asking him to do. He’s an attack LB and we have edge guys and other better all around LBs who can do that. He’s a fish out of water.
At Safety it would be great if Aikens could land the other S spot along with Jones. But competition is always good. Need some depth at corner too with Taylor, Davis and Finnegan all struggling with injuries. I don’t think Finnegan will be back. Wilson is also a UFA.
I would not count in a healthy Misi
I think the possibility of adding a DT, LB or 2, S and CB seen pretty strong
On offense a WR, RB and 2 OGs seem likely
I’m thinking we have more than 10 new faces in the roster next season
I guess you can add half a dozen in the draft and if 3 can make an impact in year 1 that’s a luxury
A half dozen more in FA – mostly cheap 1 year contracts
My big question mark is whether we chase any high price FAs
All I’m saying is get Misi healthy and let him compete with possibly even Ellerbe. I’d draft a LB for sure and add another one somehow as well. But we can’t gut every position and expect it all to go hunky-dory. We have to rely on some guys we already have but also have a plan B.
