By Dr. Bruce Banner
Hulk back to writing. Hulk took some time to hopefully cool off from typical end ofseason disappointment so that Hulk may calm down and relax. But you know what? It no help. Hulk still angry. Hulk always be angry. Here is what make Hulk angry now:
Cheaters. Hulk angry at cheaters and that this year’s Super Bowl is a testament to the fact that cheating pays off and will be rewarded. This now Patriots 3rd time caught cheating. They stole other teams’ signs. League says bad, don’t do it again and we will destroy the evidence. Patriots caught video taping other team’s walk through. Nothing happens. Now Patriots caught deflating balls in Championship game. Hulk no want to hear that it had no effect on game. That not the point, the point is that Patriots cheat and break rules even when they don’t have to.
Seahawks no better. In recent years 65% of players suspended for PEDs have been Seahawks. Hulk no think that a coincidence. Hulk no believe that coach Carroll no know about his players cheating so often. Coach Carroll no different than coach Bellicheat. He always look for advantage like paying all his college players to play game when he no supposed to. He cheat in college and no surprise his team What Make Hulk Angry?caught cheating at pro level. Hulk no even want to watch Super Bowl this year because no matter who wins it proves that cheating pays off and that make Hulk angry.
Hulk also angry that coach Coyle is still defensive coordinator despite his pussy two and three man pass rush defensive schemes that cost Hulk’s Phins wins in Detroit and Denver games. Hulk even angrier that coach Coyle kept when other good defensive coordinators available this year. Like coach Fangio from 49ers, or coach Schwartz from Bills or coach Nolan from Falcons. Hulk no want to hear about Falcons bad D last year. Falcons have terrible personel on D, that why FO all changed there. Coach Nolan can coach D. All these coaches have proven track records as defensive coordinators. All were available and yet we still have Kevin Coyle.
Hulk also angry that Mr. Ross now hire Mike Tannebaum. Hulk angry that it marginalizes Dennis Hickey in Dolphins organization. Hulk like Dennis Hickey, he 1st GM that actually draft 2 impact rookies for Dolphins in long time. But to make things even worse the hire is Mike Tannebaum, the man behind the collapse of the Jets roster over the last several years. This is the Mike Tannebaum that decided to trade for and put all his hopes on Brett Favre as Jets QB. This is the GM that decided to trade up for Mark Sanchez. This is the same GM that decided to extend contract on Mark Sanchez in one of dumbest contracts ever that put Jets into salary cap hell. This is the same GM that thought it was good idea to sign Tim Tebow when no one else wanted him. This is the man that now runs our football operations. That make Hulk very angry.
But Hulk not all angry right now. You know what make Hulk happy? Beautiful new website and seeing old friends. That make Hulk much happier:
Oink and first
Great job Ken, er Hulk! I think you might have something there. I wonder if we looked at Coyle’s defensive playcharts if we found he calls those formations the “Pussy 2” and the “Pussy 3”
Anyone have any idea why the most recent post doesn’t have a tab at the top of the page? It’s confusing to find it, unless you look under the “Most recent articles” heading.
Looks like Twice is checking that out
New Oinkee Poll is up
Vote Oinkee
Now is your chance to vote for Dolphins MVP
I would think having testicles that resemble Brussel sprouts would make Hulk angry
Don’t know why it’s doing that – tried a couple things but no luck. Maybe it will eventually update. I blame the blizzard lol
I blame the Hulk, he probably smashed some stuff so it doesn’t work anymore
Yeah you’re right – Hulk smash blizzard that’s why NY and NJ were spared. Couldn’t stop smashing afterwards.
Another thing I don’t know how to explain- why does it not cone up to the most recent post when you put on the address? At the purge place if you closed out the browser and brought it up fresh, it defaulted to the most recent post.
That will need to be fixed for sure.
My gosh is that gibberish 😐
Cone = come
Put on= put in/enter
Purge place=.. (on second thought, it fits)
Try – sounds like maybe a cache issue. Just changed some things so maybe that’s fixed?
If I go to the other place it defaults to most recent, so I don’t think it is cache (and I am not sure how to delete phone cache. Perhaps I should ask my wife; she knows how to delete bank cash…)
I re-entered the bookmark/link. I’ll see what happens when the next post is added.
For some reason, Csonk reminds me of Mongo in that pic, when Mongo says “Mongo not know, Mongo just pawn in game of life”.
That’s pretty much Csonk anyway. He like Hulk in some ways.
Mongo is pawn, in game of life.
Ok so food for thought on Wallace situation.
First, and likely most debatable part of what im about to say, is nothing about Mike Wallace isnt replaceable, even his speed which isn’t as prolific as it use to be. When he entered the NFL you had a handful of guys who could run like him, now there are at least 3-4 times that many. Straight line speed does not a receiver make,(ball skills, fight, route running, hands, etc) and there is more to being a good teammate than what you can do on the field to make yourself look good. I feel there are draft picks that could come in and give us everything Wallace does for a fraction of the cost.
I know he doesn’t save us a ton of money towards the cap THIS year, but next year its damn near 10mil. This year its only 2.5 but think about it this way….number 1 draft pick at pick 12 was Odell Beckham Jr. Giants cap hit for him was 1.8mil, so good example of a quailty WR, drafted earlier than we pick next year, and what cost was associated with that pick, so if you see it this way, 2.5 mil savings, to get Odell Beckham Jr, and have 770k left over, the cost of replacing Wallace doesnt look so high, everyone fears the dreaded dead money, but really the proper way to look at it is can you replace the guy for what you save on cap. To me the answer is a definite YES.
Kyle Fuller was the 14th overall pick by the Bears, and his cap hit was 1.76mil, again, think of it this way would White, Parker, DGB, Funchess, Strong, or Cooper, one of which will almost definitely be there at 14, replace Wallace adequately enough that the 7-800k that’s left over wouldn’t have made it worth it? Wallace doesn’t help in the red zone, guys i listed above would.
Need even more evidence, take guys like Devin Smith, Dorsett, Hardy, etc. Its a stretch to say one of those guys would walk in with better projection numbers than Wallace but i don’t think its a BIG stretch, those guys sit anywhere between a 2nd and 4th round projection, you’re talking about Landry money at best, which was only 630k towards cap, or roughly a 1.9mil savings by cutting Wallace.
I strongly feel there is less likelihood he is cut than there is he stays, however i think the power that be see this number like i do and less like most fans do. I think its a lot closer to a cut than most people think. Add in the fact he has been a bitch and moaner, he disrespects his team and coach because of his selfishness, and continues to think he should be the only person catching balls, i think you start to slide the scale further and further over to the tipping point. Again im more confident he will be here next year unfortunately, because pissing away 9+ mil dollars never sounds like the right decision, but im living in maybe the 55/45 range of stays to goes. Its not a huge gap, id almost guarantee it.
Should have said does not solely a receiver make, it is something that helps.
I hope wallace sticks. Yea he’s a pain but we’re a better team with wallace on it than without him. He caught 10 TDs last year and some of those catches were pretty awesome. I also think he’ll behave much better next year because he’s playing for a contract. He played great his last year in pitt because of that reason.
.
But knowing philbin he’ll probably cut him similar to davis, marshall, dansby etc….
He isnt playing for a contract, unless he expects to be cut, which wouldnt make sense if we finally are getting production and better attitude out of him. We have him under contract through the 2017 season.
Wanna know what stands out to me on that picture, and it could be the design of the jersey’s nowdays, but you see something similar on each of those guys jersey’s, Cant you spot it?Something that to me says a ton about the character of players then vs now.
C
D, I don’t think they’ll fire sale Wallace but if a decent deal can be had I think they’ll do it. When you have guys like Albert step up on behalf of Wallace I think that shows that things can get ironed out. I’m with you that I think Wallace is here for at least another year.
Regardless, I would draft a speedster this year to start working into the system.
D, the stains stand out but what are you saying?
Yes the grass stains is what im referring to. Guy played friggin hard back then, they went all out, pussified NFL these days most dont get their uni’s dirty.
Don’t forget to vote Oinkee
My preference for Wallace is we trade him to a team with a similar situation, can think of three teams off the top of my head with expensive contract receivers who might make a good match. Houston, Arizona, and TB all have receivers that they could trade 1 for 1, all of them have contracts in the neighborhood of Wallace. Wallace isnt going to budge for us on contrat but he could renegotiate for a new team, dont know if he would but lot better likelihood than him doing it for us. We also could likely get another player, especially like Johnson or Fitzgerald to renegotiate some, or even extend in the case of Fitzgerald to get the cap hit down some.
Id be less excited about the trade with TB, as i have never overly been a fan of Vincent Jackson, but he is a very good receiver.
Me either I wouldn’t want VJ here. I’d rather work things out with Wallace and get a big receiver in the draft.
I don’t think we’ll be able to trade Wallace, so buckle up your seatbelts, and hope we can fix things with him. He’s a good player, that if used properly, can be a great player.
Well we escaped that storm, only about 4 inches. I hope you New Englanders and Long Islanders are okay.
Only 4″ Tim? I think I have at least 6″, probably 8″ here, and it’s still snowing.
Maybe 4-6 it just didn’t seem like a lot when I was shoveling this morning.
Great to see the first Hulk piece on the new board. Feels like home now.
Is anyone in the free hugs from Hulk line? Would really like one, but want to see what happens to the first one in line first.
i have no idea what all you guys are complaining about the location of the article or what not. i have no problem when i open the site the most current article is up on top.
maybe it all does porno sites you guys DON’T go to that has your pc’s all fucked up.
it would be cool if that storm knocks the power out in new england till next monday. that would be fitting that the cheaters cant watch the SB
X
you will like it. trust me i get all sorts of hh’s (hulkhugs) from him in my basement.
LOL — sorta like a cage fight to figure out who is the real baddest man of all.
Is Miko leading the MVP votes on our Poll yet?
Ken, Woody Johnson wanted Tebow, not anyone else on the Jets.
““No one knows the facts. I pick 24 balls, that’s what I pick. Whatever happened after I did it, and whatever the situation was where they measured them, I have no idea any of those facts.”
So basically they give 24 balls to choose from before the game. 12 are regulation inflated, 12 are deflated. He chooses the 12 deflated ones. They present the inflated ones to the officials, and somehow by game time the inflation is the same as the ones he chose.
Ken/Boulder. I posted this the other day. It’s from the article written by that guy Ken heard interviewed. The article link is included. Look at the graph, what are the odds? Well, the author tells us…more then 1 in 16,234.
And here’s the full article. It’s compelling and conclusive:
http://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/blog/2015/the-new-england-patriots-prevention-of-fumbles-is-nearly-impossible
For those of you who know what a normal distribution curve looks like, that blurb WAY out there on the tail at 190 is the Cheatriots:
Awesome article Jahn. It is pretty much impossible. Neither the laws of physics or statistics are kind to the Pats these days.
And it makes all the sense in the world. Nobody was checking the air pressure of our game balls when we played rugby. If it was real tight first time I touched it, made a mental note — “this thing is gonna pop out real easy.” Meant I protected it more and was trying to poke it when guys on the other team were running at me.
Totally. It’s actually the kind of evil genius that I’d expect from Belicheat. I have to admit, he’s a champion when it comes to skirting the rules, and Pat fans who tell me some bullshit line about how rubbing balls makes them inflate more are the undeniable world champs of rationalizing.
Jahn,
Like I posted on Twitter, they’d have to use belt sanders on the footballs for a while to get PSI to increase like they claim.
Nice write Hulk. Loved the addition of Huggy Hulk.
Also, not to be contentious, because I wish it were true, but the recording of the walkthrough based on the evidence…didn’t happen. The employee who alleged it backtracked and collaborating evidence (there was no power supplied to the location they were settting up the cameras (legally, for the game the next day), there was no recording media in the camera, and interviews collaborating that (with another Patriot employee, and a stadium employee (unaffiliated with the Patriots).
I still think they’ve cheated way more then 3 times, I just don’t think you can count that as one of the times they’ve been “caught” because the NFL doesn’t see it that way, so it won’t affect any punishment metted out for deflategate, which, I hate to say, and am sorry to say to you guys…I think will be nothing. They get off scott-free, but the world won’t forget.
I threw in a bunch of parentheses to confuse FFR. (hint, they’re not matched FFR!)
Hey Jahn, thought you might appreciate the tables & charts here on the lack of Patriots fumbles post 2006.
http://www.slate.com/articles/sports/sports_nut/2015/01/stats_show_the_new_england_patriots_became_nearly_fumble_proof_after_a_2006.html
Interesting. Same guy who wrote the article I mentioned, just a new chart he marked up. Same conclusion. Cheaters.
jahn
i know i for one have said that too and i am not the only one on here. i think most on here think this will just be swept under the rug and there will be no punishment for the cheats. well i mean maybe other then the nfl takes away 5 penalties away from them next year. i can see roger now.
while at krafts house cleaning his pool. you know mr kraft, i think to be fair i am going to have to take away at least 5 or 6 of those made up calls in your favor next year.
More likely they’ll change the rule to suit whatever Brady wants to do with his balls, then hold it up as some sort of definitive action the league has taken to deal with this problem.

ha, parentheses. yeah, like your $12 words dont already confuse me enough.
I find it interesting that law firm Ben Jarvis Green Ellis had no fumbles in 4yrs with the Pats, but 5 in 2 yrs with the Bengals…smh
Anecdotal, but compelling. Did you come up with that? Impressive.
LOL. There were Bengals fans on PFT a saying they should make the Pats eat his the contract that the Bengals signed him too because of how he fumbles all of the time.

that is why you are god. i bet you are spot on with that one.
New England coaches players not to fumble. That’s what Belichick will mumble to you.
Houstom we have a Problem….
WOW, the Dolphins spent $29.7 million receivers last year, a ridiculous 22.3 percent of their cap. That led the league in a department you don’t want to lead the league in.

If I’m Miami I cut bait with Wallace,Gibson, & Hartline. I tell Matthews he enters the off-Season as one of the starters and it’s his job to remain as the number 2. I’d bring in a Vet like Nicks to push for playing time and load up on talented rookie WRs. Landry would be the leader of the receiver room. I think if Matthews thinks he will actually get his shot, he may pull his head out of his ass.
Jettisoning way too much talent at once and putting way too much faith that Matthews is going to do something he clearly seems ill equipped to do. I’d rather not jettison ANY of those guys then ALL of those guys. That’s extreme.
Jahn that’s why Id add Nicks….possibly Eddie Royal also. I rid the locker room of the puppet master show altogether. If Hartline is willing to renegotiate, he’s the line one I do that for.
Keeping Wallace 1 more year makes the most sense to me.
Cut Gibson & Hartline to get the most Cap savings.
2015 starting WR corp as of now should be #1 Wallace #2 Landry #3 Matthews
Draft 2 WR’s…a big possession WR like DGB, Parker, White & then a speedster to replace Wallace down the road, like Devin Smith, Phillip Dorsett.
Would you do me a favor and stop cutting my favorite player. Just out of respect for me, add in the possibility he takes a pay cut. He’s still an excellent receiver…but you’ve advocated cutting him more consistently and more often then anyone else on the blog (or any blog lol)…show some compassion for your fellow fin fans who might really like the guy eh?
Jahn it could be worse….he could advocate trading him to Cleveland.
LOL…he is an Ohio kid.
Still, it’s Cleveland 🙂
These IT peeps at work have me totally blocked. I can’t even check my email. 😡
That’s annoying . . .
Now there are sneaky ways around it, i mentioned them briefly before, and it all depends on if your work has a public wifi, but it is possible to direct a browser or sometimes other thing like mail, etc through a different gateway/connection.
awesome article jahn. IT just proved that the pats are cheaters. I hate fuckin cheaters.
I agree it has pretty much swayed me. I dont buy into a lot of conspiracies, especially when the source is a blog for of people who hate that team lol, but thats hard core evidence and statistics may not tell the whole truth all the time but they definitely point a good finger towards things that are very questionable at the least. At this point, however, i think that only way they pin it on them is to get someone to roll over on the team/coach/qb and from there the rest of the dominoes will fall.
You can’t cut Hartline, Wallace and Gibson all in the same year. That’s crazy. I still think it’s crazy to cut Wallace, I’ve felt that way from the start. Subtracting too much talent.
agreed. I think gibson will be gone. Hartline will hopefully restructure. Keep wallace for 1 more year
.
BUt again we’re talking about philbin here. He sent davis packing for wanting to pee at the wrong time. so you never know.
And you know I rest at the opposite end of the Spectrum 🙂
If I have to keep 1, it’s Hartline hands down.
See below, you and i are pretty much on same page dbolt.
I guess thats where the people that agree with cutting him and those that dont differ, i really dont think its a big loss. I do admit losing your entire starting WR lineup doesnt sound like the best idea but in my best case scenario, id cut Wallace, rengotiate with Gibson or Wallace to get their cap hit down, and cut the other, whichever would work with me. Hartlines actually has the most dead money hit of the two, so i guess there would be more financially to gain by keeping him, but overall savings to be had, is about the same. Wallace for me isnt about money savings, there is almost to be save by cutting him as Hartline, but for me its more about the type of player on our team. talent is only as good as the effort that talented play puts forth, and i dont think he is going to put forth full effort.
You don’t think, but he put in a lot of effort during the season, maybe save for the last game. He played hard all season. That’s what I saw, and he made our team better. If our QB was able to hit him deep, we would be in the playoffs.
I saw him play with concerted effort over the previous season where he half-asses every catch, so improvement of crap doesn’t mean high level of play, just means not so horrible. I will give you that point however, because i even supported how well he played after being one of his bigger critics the year before, seeing himas a one dimensional, not a great fit, WR. To me he changed my mind about a few things, i think eh COULD fit, though would never reach the full potential he could because his attitude is bad. What i saw was “ill try until i ddont get my way, then ill start bitching again to get my way, and if all else fails ill quit on my team”. I just dont want that kinda guy on my team when we need all of our players at top performance each week to win. People like that start a slide in the emotions of the rest and pretty soon that one bad apple does indeed spoil the bunch.
Mike, more like if Wallace held onto some of those deep balls we’d be in the playoffs, or more importantly if the OL gave Tanny more time he could let Wallace get open deep more often, then we’d be in the playoffs, and especially if our Defense didn’t collapse starting in Denver thru the rest of the season, then we’d be in the playoffs…STOP Blaming Tanny for us not being in the playoffs…he’s the only reason we ever even had a shot at the playoffs…IMHO!
Let’s not try to put the deep game on Tannehill. The Patriots game he underthrew his first deep pass and was pin point on everyone after that. Most of the problem lies with the OL allowing for things to develop. Also in that Minny game where Wallace makes that spectacular TDS grab….it was almost picked because that retard admitted to not knowing where he was on the field and ran the route wrong. Was supposed to be an 11yd comeback from the 16yd line and that fucker runs an extra 5yds to the endzone.
Sorry Jahn, I’m ok with Hartline staying, but he’s got to take a 50% pay cut, and not sure he’s willing to restructure that low.
Maybe Aponte & Hickey can find away to keep him…cutting Wallace instead is one way I suppose, and I think Wallace is a jackass, I like Brian better as a person, but hard to let go a guy who’s scored what 15 TD’s in 2 seasons here.
Only argument i could see for not cutting Wallace over Hartline is something i actually heard brought up by Omar (granted he hates Hartline) and ill be paraphrasing because othewise Jahn will jump through he screen to kill me. Remember Jahn this is a sweetened up version of what Omar said, so be mad at him and be furious at him if you read what he really said. “Wallace can do most everythign Hartline can do, but Hartline cant do all of Wallace does” and to it i agree somewhat, but i also think Hartline brings more in the form of team loyalty, and leadership than Wallace so if i add those in, and im only saving 500k to keep Wallace over Hartline, im leaning towards keeping Hartline. If he takes a pay cut on top of that, hell year im going that way.
Obviously Omar knows good route running from bad w/ his statement….LMAO
Mike to be certain, at this point its my opinion on it, its how and what i think we can expect of him given what he has shown us is a pattern with him. I dont think however there is anymore evidence to support that he wont act that way last year as there is a guarantee he will. I guess it will fall as it may, and ill be fine if he stays, but im not optimistic a leopard changes its spots.
Leopard has the same exact spits he had in Pitt. Ask Mark Malone.

But I have to say I do like this draft
Dont like Koyak pick, i think he is going to be a rare ND TE bust. Rest of the draft ispretty solid. Perriman in the round ya got him i think is good. White has been impressive so 6th round for him and 7th round for Amos is really nice.
The only thing Tims an expert on is sticking his finger in a rotties ass 😋

LOL @ Son
I was busting your balls about your mock draft.
No you werent, your avatar has made you EVIL!
You hurt my feelings very bad
LOL
D, as I mentioned above…it will be scary to cut a healthy under 30 yo guy who just scored 15 TD’s the past 2 seasons without a surefire plan in place.
I see your point, im just thinking not so much about what has he done previously as what he will do for us next. If his attitude hasnt change, he coulda been a 15 TD guy last year and he will be a shit pile this coming year. I know it makes more sense to prep up before pulling the trigger, and again, im thinking abotu 55% chance he stays, i just cant get behind overpaying a guy who may or may not do anything but eat up a roster spot. Im more of a fan of trading him for a productive player to make it more of an even swap, but i keep being told that will never happen.
His contract & now attitude has clearly put Hickey in a pickle.
My problem is Gibson essentially saying they don’t pay attention during meetings and you see this shit showing up during games. Go back to the Minny game in during the final TDS Gibson & Wallace both were getting bitched at by Ryan on the field for not lining up properly. The little add up.
Final TD drive.
Baphomet Tim hurting Son’s feelings…that’s evil man…lol
He’s silly…silly
D – I hear ya man. Besides the last game, he wasn’t a problem IMO. I don’t mind a WR who wants the ball. He fought for extra yards and contested catches all season, and that was never his strong suit, but he made it become that. I give him credit. I think Philbin should have a private meeting with Tannehill and Wallace, and work out their differences. If they irreconcilable, they should try and trade him, and if they can’t, I guess they have no choice but to cut him, but at least they made an effort to fix things.
I think the differences are about Wallace wanting to be the main target, and if that doesn’t happen in a particular game he gets pissy. I don’t think it has anything to do with Tannehill or Philbin having a problem with Wallace as a player. The quitting thing I’m sure didn’t sit well with a lot of guys on the team.
From what I’ve read, Wallace was upset running all those curl routes, and short yardage routes, and not getting the opportunity to make big plays. Those are 2 totally different things. He’s a deep threat playmaker, that’s what he is, and we didn’t use him in that manner.
Mike,
I’m glad he wants to run deep, but pass pro wouldn’t allow for it. Hey Id like $2billion in my checking account tomorrow, but at my salary it’s not going to happen.

DING DING DING
Man does a real thorough investigation.
Even if the final verdict is not to your liking, gonna be lots of great details on the Pats.
I so wish Hickey had Jeffro’s 2013 draft with what 5 picks in the first 85 selections?
Then maybe we wouldn’t be in this WR corp pickle with Wallace, nor on the DL, S, & LB, and OL…lol
Son
Did Tim make you feel like he tied you to the pier and let the fishes eat at you?
I gave you a verbal spankin above 🙂
I read it. Tanny-LOVER! 😉
It was something like that it was awful, aaaahhhh
LOL!!!
“My problem is Gibson essentially saying they don’t pay attention during meetings”
I have a major problem with this kind of shit. WTF is that all about?
Lack of good coaching is what’s that all about!
That’s why you see the poor execution on Sundays that you speak of!!!
Really? Players not paying attention to Lazor in meetings?
Tim,
No biggie but it would’ve been during WR meeting led by that position coach.
It was essentially part of their little Twitter fiasco talking about the photo post game from end of season loss to the Jets. Essentially insinuating they were paying attention or didn’t care. Like I said that final drive against Minny you saw Ryan have to keep on correcting those two. That shouldn’t be the case when you have 2 rookies, Landry & Williams, getting lined up correctly. Like I said they weren’t doing the little things. You can’t have that shit permeating on your team.
Andrew Abramson ✔ @AbramsonPBP
Belichick was just asked what stuffed animals he likes. He picked a monkey finger puppet. Seriously.
WTF?
Those saying Wallace’s last two year means he is a cant miss this and Hartline should be cut should think about it this way… Hartline was out leading receiver the year prior to Wallace and the year after Wallace got here, So to me this says two things.
First, Wallace could easily, especially if he has a shitty attitude about playing, drop off production. With the way Landry is playing, id almost guarantee a drop off in TD’s, receptions, and potentially yardage. Add in another kid who is hungry, maybe more of a RZ threat and those numbers dip even further, so really he could wind up much like Hartline who was odd man out this year, just he will cost 12mil. Easily could happen.
Secondly if you use Wallaces production number s as proof as to why to keep him, you have to do the same for Hartline. He has been out only 1k receiver in a while, and he did it back to back years. Wallace hasn’t hit that mark yet. To me since is strength is outside the 20’s where he can stretch the field his yardage number should be the most impressive part of his stats and they arent. I just dont see him as great as the rest of you do, he to me is an average receiver.
The media should ask Belicheat what his favorite method of cheating is?
Yes
Test 2
Bill, besides cheating, what would you like your legacy to be?
“I don’t know, ask my ex wife!”
LOL
Hey UK glad you made it, good to see you

Hey UK! Good to see ya!
Thought we all agreed the “no wankers” rule was in effect……lol
Miko Grimes @iHeartMiko
Im salty that my rant will cause the NBA to not ask Brent to play in the celebrity all-star game! He wants to play so bad! That part sucks!
WTF, salty?
Salty . . My 19 year old son uses that expression. How old is Miko? 37 . . . She acts like she’s still in college, like a baby.
Welp….if he thinks this is bad wait and see what happens if he continues to trend downwards. His wife’s mouth has really challenged his future.
Dbolt, I would think the WRs would be in meetings with the OC quite a bit. Positions coaches are more relevant on the practice field, not game planning.
Pretty sure he said WRs meetings and that’s usually run by the position coaches.
Okay fair enough, so it must be our WR coach and not the players not paying attention. LOL
Behaving the way they say in meetings, as Gibson and Wallace said, they are doing the team a dis service. That’s not on coaching that’s a lack of professionalism and it directly effects how the team plays on Sunday.
Absolutely! These guys aren’t 10 years old.
Honestly look back at the games and you will see as the season went along these Vets struggled lining up correctly. Like I said the little things add up.
UK in the house!
D, Hartline has 12 TD’s in 6 years…that’s an avg of 2 per year…is that worth $7+M per yr?
No, and his yardage totals don’t put him in that range either, he need to take a pay cut, but again, to me the Wallace of Hartline thing is about them, and what intangibles they bring to the team and whether those things add to or detract from the development of other players and/or the overall team chemistry. To me Wallace is a big ole negative in those areas and Hartline is at least a slight positive.
Salty:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=salty
It sounds like (urban-wise) she used it correctly in the sentence.
Still looks like an idiot though, lol
You can bet coaches like Lombardi, Ditka, Shula, Belicheat…wouldn’t put up with players not paying attention in team meetings. Not for one second….and even if it was in a positional coaches meeting, you can bet once those HC’s I mentioned heard wind of it, they’d be some ASS chewing goin on!
To me it sounds like some of these guys were coddled by our WR coach. We’ve heard that Wallace made these threats during a few different games, of not playing, and the Jets game was the first time it got back to Joe.
Belicheat put up with Randy Moss taking plays off. And how do you know the coaches haven’t been pissed off at some of these guys?
So if Philbin cuts these slackers, he can’t handle egos, but if he does nothing about it then he’s not one of those great ass chewing coaches. I get how this works. LOL
In fairness, once Moss reverted back to Lazy Moss he was traded back to Minny.
Welcome UK!
I wish Phish would stop by and say hi
UB too
I don’t know if everyone will visit/participate. I can think of a few that will likely not.
That is true
But truth is I want to maintain connections with people I did not have a fallout with
And I don’t think doing that Interferes with their other relationships
They’re all welcome, its their choice
That’s right. I understand, pig. But some people have an interpretation of ‘loyalty’ that I can’t make sense of.
What up FUers? Just a drive by after snow removal all morning. about 18″ here in Connecticut.
Man inches or women inches?
All man baby. Oh wait a minute.
Glad to hear you’re safe and not without power.
We got a lot of snow but the storm was not as bad as advertised.
Interesting to me in all this deflategate stuff is the surprising absence of Giselle doing her normal twitter/social media and interview comments on anything that affects Brady.
Also to me the big thing with this whole ordeal isnt what happens to the Pats as far as fine/picks but more about what happens as far as fallout between Brady and coach. Maybe after this, if Tom gets his Superbowl, maybe he decides to step out of this shit, and retires. I mean if ya think about it, kinda a win win for the team, they could dump all blame on him, and Brady as a former player with 4 rings, probably rides off into the sunset. Still i dont the relationship between Belichick and Brady has to be on the rocks after Belichick pretty much threw Brady under the bus early on.
Win or lose maybe they both go. It won’t be so easy to cheat going forward so whats the point, doubt they could win as much on a level playing field.
I think that this one is bought and paid for so losing probably won’t happen but I hope they both leave.
LOL:
@chrisdevlin7700: @iHeartMiko @AbramsonPBP stop being such a salty bitch. U costing your husband money and fans are tired of ur crap
WOW, nice. Its true though she was entertaining for like a minute, but she has become a big ole distraction and just annoyance. I wish she would get off twitter, and STFU. She and Omar are twitbuds too so another reason she needs to cage that bird.
He hits from waaaaay downtown
Another gem:
*
@FinsFanIn813: @iHeartMiko Why squander opportunities for someone your supposedly trying to protect? Learn how to shut your trap and not make a fool of him
Miko is an attention Ho.
Dbolt, but while the Pats were going 16-0 and Moss was catching 20+ TDs Belicheat was fine with it.
LOL. They called that the motivated Moss.
Salt Lick is probably a better term for Miko. Am I a bad man?
You can lick it if you wanna stick it….I’m gonna pass.
Sounds like Joe doesn’t have his thumb on the pulse of the team as he claimed he would after Bullygate. It’s alright, we didn’t have a losing season….not a winning one either….lol
Piggy:
I doubt we see Phish but I bet we see UB at some point. His posting frequency has gone way down but I see him coming here at some point.
…anybody got Markeyh the Henne supporters email?
At one time I had it but I think it got deleted some time ago.
Ken, I was bracing for 12-20 inches of snow but got probably 4-6. I saw it stop last night and it never really started again except for a little this morning.
Apparently there was a bit of a wind shift and it went a little further to the east and moved faster than thought but we still got a significant amount of snow here.
Guess that didn’t hurt as bad then…. 😯
Alright I got to try to do some work. I am out for now.
We got to get Albert healthy ASAP….his Cap # is $10.725M
I wonder if he’d be able to restructure 😉
Supposedly his recovery is going exceptionally well.
Why can’t I think of who UB is?
Joe mamma
Oh okay, I never refer to him as UB. Usually JM, or Momma or dickhead. LOL
I’m not sure if that’s right, was just a guess.

i agree. I always enjoyed reading Top. Even had fun at my own expense with him. I agree with Try, that some loyalty thing will keep them away. Which I dont get either. Not like any one did anything wrong and this place is open to all. Hell, last i looked there david was posting all the articles, i thought that was what the big admin fight was all about.
Rams want to trade for foles. I wonder if kelly will do that. If he doesn he must be in love with sanchize LOL

Rumors are Kelly wants to trade up to land Mariota.
Yea I doubt the bucs would give up that pick for anything
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
“I’m here so I won’t get fined.” — Marshawn Lynch, to every question. Yeah, that’s going to make the league happy.
WTF is wrong with these waaaay overpaid athletes today….would they want their childhood sports hero’s that influenced them to play the game act the same way back then?
No class or humility at ALL….SMH
Now they should fine him for saying that….LOL
I don’t understand the nfl attacking lynch for shoes
But the whole refusing to speak with the media thing is weird
Another Ricky Williams….
I saw Phelonius Phish on the other blog….did he get an invite here too?
Dcoralsprings? Naples?
I think Dcorals has been here. Naples disappears for long stretches. Not sure if he knows this blog. Most people don’t feel Phish will blog here.
D-coral has been here. Haven’t heard from Naples anywhere in a while.
Invites only went out to the beta testing crew. Don’t think the blog address is any secret. This place is open to all…..’cept maybe Home I’m hoping.
There were only invites to some as a test run the blog is public now and open to anyone. The first post gets moderated but that’s to stop the spammers otherwise you get slammed with spam bs all the time. I’m sure most people get enough viagra ads in their email already don’t need to see it here.
He’s more than welcome here, we’d love to have him.
Boulder, I’m not sure Mariota is going to be a big time QB. He’s very much a system QB right now which he could succeed in if with the right team like the Eagles. If I’m the Bucs I take Winston if they’re comfortable with his off the field, or Williams.
Dont think Winsoton lasts in the NFL either, but more because of his lack of maturity and leadership. I dont think either of these get better with the publicity and hype that will be forced on him, as well as going to a team that may not have the right players around him. TB sounds like best option IMO with Evans there to play the Benjamin type WR role he was use to in college.
speaking of others what about M13
there isnt enough 1luv on this site
He stopped by to say thanks for the invite. Not sure he’ll blog here much.

———————————————————————-
That may not be the pick they need to get. I hear TB is all about Jameis. So sounds to me like no 2 is there shot at Mariota, too bad no 2 also wants a QB lol. Maybe they would get lucky and Tenn be in love with a QB they could get in a later round,
Senior Bowl may work in their favor there since the Titans coached on of the teams, and probably knows if one of them would suit him as a prospect, he also prepared for the other side, so knows where their strengths and weaknesses are. I think though that just tells him none of the ones he saw could give them anything better than they had in Mettenberger last year, so im thinking they stay put and take Mariota.
I’ll tell ya, if I was a team who needed a QB I would be very interested in Hundley he might be better in the pros than Winston or Marriota.
I actually somewhat agree with it but i would say it only applies to a few of the teams. For example Hundley would not be better for San Fran imo. I think Mariota is JUST what SF needs to make them competitive with Seattle. He is a lot like Wilson, Wilson is currently a more polished passer, but Mariota has better wheels. They play very similar, game management, good elusiveness, don’t make many mistakes. Other team like maybe Minnesota id like Hundley better because i think he would be better able to take a team at least partially on his shoulders and i think he would help get the most out of player like Crodarrell, i actually think Cordarrell and Hundley would be a very good pairing.
MIN likes Bridgewater though and he had a good rookie season.
UK came in for a spot of tea, and then left for some crumpets, I guess.
A butter pie!
The Butter wouldn’t melt so I put it in the pie.
Gives a different take on what “Hands Across The Water” means.
D and Tim,
I just don’t think Mariota will drop out of top 2. Either the bucs or the titans will take him. And to get to top 2 for the eagles would be a 2 1st rounders and maybe a 2nd rounder. Even that might not be enough.
Very possible. I was just stating rumors I keep hearing about the Eagles. I personally don’t care where they go, I wouldn’t want my team to have to decide between them.
Well done, Son. 🙂
got your back bro

Well, I typed a long post saying that I missed the house-warming (bad choice of wording for you nor-easters right now I know – hope you are all safe) and that you had done the place up real nice, etc etc, then when I tried to post I was told I had to log on (I had btw) and all my witty prose disappeared. So I did test 2 which had to be moderated so I thought FU ex-F Me Fers and went to get s/thing to eat. Anyway, y’all did a great job with this site and I’m on the Herd bandwagon of being monblogamous on the rare occasions I blogamous. And with that I gotta run. But I’ll be back

So just finished talking to my Dad. Called him yesterday to get ready for the storm.
He proudly told me, “Not nearly as bad as what you were saying. The winds didn’t blow the trees down and we only got a foot.”
He was throwing it in my face that I was a pathetically worried ninny……the little voice in my mind was going, “ain’t Florida a great place to live.”
DRG — great to see you bud.

When you changed name I had to moderate again. You should be able to get your avatar thru my profile again. That’s how I found mine again.

Eventually they said “yeah i know we have a couple more days of the draft planned guys, but the Dolphins own all the rest of the picks so i guess Dolphins just go pick the rest of the guys ya want and then tell the rest of the teams when they can contact people for UDFA”
Oh i think i got most positions covered too….anyone see anything i missed? 🙂
Anyone see a team i missed trading with?
There’s probably 5 or 6 guys on there that can actually play in the NFL, LOL
Man i missed trading with GB and looks like Chicago too. I know i got offers from them but they musta been really bad…hrmmm
LOL D! I did my first draft today. I took Ogbuehi in the 3rd as well. I got a B+ I forgot which pick it was, but I got a C+ on one, that brought it down.
Yeah, his stock has really dropped on that site, not sure in general but he use to be considered a for sure top 10 guy, next in the line of past three drafts where a TA&M OT was going to be very high first rounder, but he is dropping like a rock.
I am happily amazed at all the talent that will be available this year at our round one spot.
I am torn between risky-man Green-Beckham or one of the other 3 tall WRs who will still be there or going with a DT like Eddie Goldman or Malcolm Brown or even a reach like Jordan Philips or do we shoot for the Super Bowl with Melvin Gordon?
WR’s is one of the deepest pools i have seen in a while, first round talent deep into the second, second round talent into the 4th. Very very deep draft. RB’s are too, top talent into the third, solid prospects all the way into the 6th or so (i don’t see any worth a first though, even Gordon). DT’s TE’s QB’s all really really shallow draft. Couple DT are starting to show some elite skills and combine will probably help some more rise up, but for most part, DT starting talent is very limited, and ones you can realistically expect to be able to even rotate in first year is also very limited. OL talent isn’t stand out either. I agree with you about the play-making talent but this draft is kinda weird in i think we will have to have a really strong strategy towards the positions we pick and the values we have on people to get through this draft and get as many contributors as we can. Hickey has his work cut out for him.
Lol@ D 53 man draft
Whole new team!
Welcome Naples glad you made it here
Hey Naples! I think we’ll have a lot of choices at #14, a lot of good ones!
I do feel really confident in the 14 pick having someone or some option there. I think we are going to get trade offers and i think this is a year we could really use a a trade back unless we just have something special fall in our laps. I couldnt trade back if Parker falls to us, or White. Outsie of those guys id take my chances of trading back, have a fallback option and a second draft strategy lined up if we hd to switch gears but overall i think 14 is a pretty sweet place to be this year.
I torn at who I’d like at 14,
What do you think of Shaq Thompson at 14 Naples?
Fuck him
You know I want all you guys to move to Florida. Have made the reasons clear, but one thing I forgot to add is when I say FL I mean East Coast of Fl. The West coast is for Mid-Westerners and hicks…..shiot………Nice to see you Naples. 🙂
Because you need friends and its a lot easier to have them move there than go out and meet people?
Hey — would be nice to have all the crew within driving distance of Sunlife. Don’t blame a guy for trying.
yeh i found you guys … you can run but you can’t hide.
That draft is silly.
of course it is lol
greetings Mike E and Son and FU Stangboy
LMAO — good to see you my friend.
Son I know Shaq is a good player, but I think we got enough at OLB/DE.
I think we need a MLB type ILB way more but Benardrick McKinney did not look good against GTech but then who does?
He still might be the guy or Perryman if he would only fall to us in the 2nd.
McKinney is still the best ILB, Perryman though proved he will also be a good option, and would fit a draft strategy for me if i were GM. He would definately be my 2nd round option for ILB if i took a WR with the first pick. Im not wanting to venture much deeper than 3rd round for an ILB selection, and hope Hickey is in pretty much same mindset.
This new blog is the story of my life ya know? all the cool guys leave the room soon as I come in and get a beer … now i gotta stalk y’all onto the back porch where the smokes smell funny right after i said i don’t smoke.
Dont pass out or we’ll draw a dick on your face, take a picture and send it to your mother.
You guys should all appreciate the work and patience that draft took…..longest first pick draft EVAH!
I bet it took a long time to do that draft
ILB is not deep at all and there is not a sure thing QB in the whole draft. I also don’t like any of the TEs at all. I’d like to grab Connor Halliday in the 7th if he is still there as i think he would make a great Earl Morrall type career backup.
QB’s you are right, i believe there are several who will be decent backups in the NFL but nothing more. Even Bridge who i really like, and think e has a lot of tools to work with, i just dont know that he can make that jump.
Wicked hitch, I don’t see him making it.
I like Gurley if we go RB early, Gordon doesn’t really do it for me. Go big or go home.
When you get a comparison to Marshawn Lynch, thats a good thing,but he does have a ton of wear on the tires, and he has had an injury each of the past 3 seasons. That does concern me but not enough to pass on him if the draft value is there. Id be really tempted to pull the trigger at r2p14, and if we had a trade back second 2nd id be all over it with that one.
RB is one of the big reason for me on the trade back is the mocks i do i know aren’t how its going to go down in the real one, and a lot of the value on this guy or that guy are off by a good bit, but what it does kinda let ya see if how flexible you can be with your draft strategies and how easy/hard it will be to fill the holes on your team given the restrictions of X number of picks.
What i keep finding is when i force myself to a no trade draft, i get good picks but i leave some holes filled with players i don’t think there are guarantees will be able to start right off. Hold where we really could use a guy who will if anything compete to start. Every time i do a trade back, im able to get people i feel get us to that place. This doesn’t tell me trades will be possible or which trades we would have a shot at, but does tell me trading back would be a very strong consideration at 14. RB is one of the positions i would like to use a higher pick for, but when i dont trade back im always looking at a guy who fills one of our other holds better and i wind up seeing RB as luxury i wait on until a later round. Trade back lets us be more aggressive there..
There are other RBs I am interested in as complements to Miller. I think we need one of those human bowling ball types that are so short the DL loses them until they pop out 8 yds downfield.
Welcome to the blog Naples
Good to see you
I don’t care much got Goldman
But I guess there is a chance Danny Shelton falls to 14
I like the big WRs
We can get a very good player at 14
We need to make a good pick
I like Mike Davis and Terrance McGee both at 5’9 and 220. very hard to tackle
Naples – Sorry man – It was dinner time.
GOOD EVENING FELLOW FIN FANS; SEE HERDFAN got my avi hooked up to my name; NEAT-O!!!
HERD: Of course you have my permission to run any of the episodes from “ABSOLUTE PERFECTION” or “FOLLOWING PERFECTION.” —I’m sure there are several members of the new site who have NOT seen some of them and might enjoy reading the accounts of an Old Dolfan who was there!!
Thank you! And I like reading them, so I’ll be happy to see them again. They are awesome. You really did a wonderful job with them.
Thank you very much!
Hey OD! Pleasure to have you here!
Hi, Mike E!! – – At my age, it’s a pleasure to be ANYWHERE!! –Seriously, I went to a convention in central Georgia last week and did not return until Sunday night. – – The show was a bit tiring because my better half could not go with me AND the show was busier than expected due to the recent run-up of gold from $1193 Jan. 1 to around $1300 the first day of the show. Not surprisingly, the owners of counterfeit gold coins were out in force. While others just wanted their genuine coins certified, which is what my company is all about.
Seems like every time I’m away for several days the shit hits the fan on Dolphin blogs!!—Sure is great to be a small part of this one. –HOPE every Dolfan in the northeast is safe and sound. –In Tampa, we had a mostly sunny day with highs near 70. –But I DID experience 1 day in Georgia when there was a touch of ice on the windshields when I got up in the morning. –BOY, you should see those rednecks driving on the ice!!
FINALLY, GREAT JOB TO DR. BRUCE BANNER!! – – KEN, I agree with everything you say, especially concerning Ross’s brain dead act of hiring the man who destroyed the Jets’ franchise, none other than Tannenbaum himself. –A local Dolfan here in Tampa said “It would have been less damaging if Ross had rehired Ireland!!
CBS says:
Goldman carries his 320 pounds well, sporting broad shoulders, a big bubble and thick limbs. He’s quick off the snap, shooting his hands into the chest of opponents and showing good upper-body strength to extend and control.
Goldman plays with his knees bent and does a nice job of anchoring at the line of scrimmage, rarely getting pushed back. Good balance to keep his feet while stringing plays out wide. Long and strong enough to set the edge as a defensive end. He has the leg drive to bull rush interior linemen deep into the pocket and can surprise quarterbacks with his quickness to close.
Locates the ball quickly and does a nice job of latching onto ballcarriers as they attempt to run by, showing the reach and strength to pull them down or pop the ball out (Clemson). Scheme and position diverse. Just scratching the surface of his potential.
OD – You’re as big a part of this blog as anyone else that comes here. Seriously!
YOU ARE TOO KIND, Mike!! – – Hope you and your family are OK. –And hoping you and family might make it to Sun Baked Stadium for this year’s get-together!!
I’m sure gonna try OD! Hopefully this year, things work out.
GDP,
If you ever complain about my trade down scenarios again…….LMFAO
Talk about roster turnover, he drafted a whole freaking team.
Good starting point 🙂
What’s up FUers? Great to see DRG, UK and Naples on here.
Fuck off you soul selling bastard 🙂
I am not the guy with the Baphomet avatar.
And good to see you to Dbolt. LOL.
But you are a lawyer 😂
Hey Ken … Great rant today … everybody feels your pain bro
I freaking hate this SB. I am rooting for injuries and preferably to both head coaches.
No we don’t 😵
I have to give props to Jahn about posting that article on deflate gate and the statistical improbability of the Pats fumble rate. Great article.
Stanger:
We got about 18″ of snow here in my part of the state. It was a lot but it was supposed to be worse so I can’t complain.
Cool — and sounds like Boston got the worst of it. Do they have a Bellickeck bubble?
It must have been a low pressure system over Boston.
LMAO — gonna make the off season a whole lot more fun.
TWO F.Y.I’s for this site. #1) Miss Gigi called me at home on my birthday and informed me about her pending move to California. Congratulated her on finding a REAL MAN who is worth moving from the east coast to the west coast. Seems like her new job is a nice step up for her, too –Guessing we’ll continue to hear from her on this site.
#2) Your’s truly is now the President of Florida United Numismatists (A.K.A. “FUN”). –I held this position in 1989 and 1990. –Never thought I’d return to the top job, especially after a 25 year run as a board member. BUT, here I am, the past and present PRESIDENT OF FUN! –We put on the world’s largest coin convention which, this year, was put on at the Orange County Convention Center on International Drive in Orlando Jan. 7-12. –Next January, our largest show ever will take place early January in the Tampa Convention Center in downtown Tampa, just a few blocks from Amalie Arena, the home of the NHL’s Lightning. –SO-O-O, in addition to my job, I’ve got PLENTY TO KEEP ME BUSY!!
Hail to the Chief. Congrats OD.
I like Stephone Anthony at MLB. We shore up the d-line with a better DT to stop the run and our LB’s become better.
Then we should be able to come away with two receivers out of the following group:
Strong
Hardy
Lockett
Montgomery
Perriman
Dorsett
Mayle
McBride
and if we could land one of the better guards like Cann or Tomlinson we’re looking good.
Then, If we can get someone like David Johnson or Cameron Stingily at the rb position and top it off with Quandre Diggs to replace Jimmy Makes Plays we’re looking good.
Taylor Kelly to replace Matt Moore and that’s it. Not asking for much.
Anthony was sharp all week in practice. Game day was shit for D from both teams.
WR list I agree with…..Along w/ Tomlinson, kids a beast.
Would add Dez Lewis to the WR list also.
forgot about Antwan Goodley
Enjoy your Presidency OD it sounds like FUN, lol.
Glad you made it here and we’re looking forward to seeing more of Absolute Perfection again tomorrow.
He looks as if he is hoping to get bit by a Vampire.
No, he looks like Ricky Bobbie who thinks he’s on fire😆
MRS. OD wants me to watch a TV show with her, so I’m out for this evening. –It was refreshingly PLEASANT!! –Will talk to you wonderful Dolfans tomorrow. PEACE TO ALL OF YOU!
Congratulations OD! Good for you man!
Dbolt, after seeing D as GM, I think you’re doing a fine job….Hopefully he blew up first-pick’s servers and we are all spared till April the 1st …LOL
He does kinda remind me of Ricky Bobby
With Suh’s bad attitude I bet he’ll have two lil boys just like Ricky Bobby…LOL
If D were our GM they would have to re-structure the rookie salary cap.
Aponte’s panties would be in a wad.
I’ll be back later – Going to chill with my wife for a while
Y’all are going to sit outside?
I just want the SB to come and go so we can get to talking about FA and the draft. I hate all the SB hype on the radio now.
Omar Kelly ✔ @OmarKelly
I’ve become obsessed with finding out how quarterbacks like their balls. True story.
________________
Geez, we already all knew he knows how Garrard likes them handled. 😯
This explains a lot.
Garrard likes his fondled
Oh, so you were on one side & Omar on the other then? lol
I don’t fondle balls
Alright I need to call it a night. I will be busy at work tomorrow for sure. Peace to you all.
Take care, hope you made the best of your day off today.
I see the Colts are going ahead and signing Chris Carter’s kid Duron Duron…lol
chris carters son played HS football at St.Thomas Aquinas. Chris Carter himself was the receivers coach while he was there. I wonder why this kid can’t stay out of trouble without his dad as coach.
Guess he feels that who his dad is makes him so privileged that he doesn’t put in the work that other less fortunate athletes do…IMO.
D
That was truly impressive my man!
I tip my hat to you! 😉
I wonder what kinda draft grade Mel Kiper gives D???
100 of course…. im mean masterful phone skills to work it that hard
I don’t feel welcomed here.
Welcome!
What gave you that impression?
LOL!
😆
glad you made it over here.Now we have another draft expert

i see raiders signed bernie parmalee as rb coach.
http://www.raiders.com/news/article-1/Raiders-Announce-Four-Assistant-Coaches/10d6bab1-effa-4fd9-9309-196b3ce01445
Wow
I didn’t know he was coaching
Good for him
how about hassan whiteside from Miami Heat and former Marshall Herd alumni. He’s the guy who had 12 blocked shots in 23 minutes played. He couldn’t get a workout with any nba teams but keep practicing. He looks like he may be a keeper
He looks to be the real deal
Spolstra said sometimes big men take time to develop
And that seems to be the Case with him
Now the Heat have a young shit blocker at their disposal
Most nba teams don’t have that luxury
Shit blocker = cork?
dude had a off game where he scored only 16 points along with 16 rebounds. If he continues to shine Spolstra will have to give him more minutes. Big Line up with Bosh, bird man, and whiteside?
With a front line like that they might be able to make waves in the post season
I love what the Heat are doing these days
M – You were properly welcomed last night. Not sure what gives you that impression.
MF13, don’t say that…you’re joking right? Come back and kick it here some with us all. I like your insight, my brother from a different mother!
Hope you reconsider.
Wyo
Just curious, mostly because I did a few drafts today. Do you take players because you think they’re good fits for our team, or because the site values them highly, and therefore you will get a good grade?
I use there best players available most of the time
But I have looked into most of them already!
If you click there name it gives you links to their NFL.com profile & videos
I know. I did plenty last year. I just find myself taking players I know will gave a good grade, even if sometimes it’s a double up on a particular position, or even a position we don’t really need, which kind of makes the game unrealistic. It would be great if it truly gave you recognition points for not only filling needs, but filling them with the BPA. I guess that’s impossible, it would have to be a very advanced program.
Well they woukd also have to get tge team needs right. Most everyone feels out team needs are wr ilb and s, the site has us down as ot cb and olb. I woukda accdpted dt as one of the top three even though I disagree but the positions tgey listed are way lower
Mike E
I’m not always to serious about it!
I tried to have an all Collins draft yesterday! 😉
Landon Collins, SS, Alabama
La’el Collins, OT, LSU
Jalen Collins, CB, LSU
Good set of collins. Have a Tom Collins to celebrate
Later Haters!
Later Wyo! LMAO @ the All Collins draft!
First two sleepers of draft:
At WR: Jarrod West, Syracuse
AT RB: Cameron Stingily, NIU
Now I have 2 guys to look into
D – I agree. DT, ILB, WR, S and CB as well as either a G or T seem to be our needs. You can even add RB to that list, like a bruising RB to complement MillerTime
Gee Mike, leave anything out? lol
The bruising rb is Cameron Stingily.
this is what I’ve got so far:
Jordan Phillips
Hardy
Tomlinson
Lockett
Stephone Antony
Quandre Diggs
Jordan Hicks
Taylor Kelly
So if/when Matt Moore leaves to try and be a starter somewhere…I wonder what Hickey’s plan is…we are already Cap strung for now, and need what we will have to sign bigger needs elsewhere. instead of tying up too much money in a FA vet backup QB.
Surely MBT isn’t the answer….ya also hate to spend a draft pick on a QB unless you pick up extra picks.
As I’ve mentioned before, I really am intrigued by Connor Halliday, he will likely go undrafted after that bad ankle break towards the last game this year, so he could be a UDFA steal.
We could pick up some comp picks too after we lose some guys in FA as well.
Just random thoughts that keep bugging me.
Go Hickey! http://www.smiley-lol.com/smiley/heureux/clap2.gif
I don’t think we’ll look for a QB in the draft to be our backup, we’ll have to sign a vet if/when Moore leaves.
Who do you suggest…have you seen the Motley Crue list of FA QB’s?
Jay Klocker
What do you guys think of Gerod Holliman for us?
He grades as a pretty good S prospect.
M, Of course you don’t feel welcome here because the first thing you said was, ‘I don’t feel welcome here” before anyone could even welcome you here. I don’t know what would give you that impression, when you feel differently try again.
Son, I rather give Blaine Gabbert a chance with Lazor than I would Jake Hurt Locker.
Riding the bench is the best way to keep locker healthy. Should he need to play we wouldn’t lose a beat in the QB running game. Blaine looks to me like he’s scared out there. Never been a fan.
Good point….hope Tanny never gets hurt…he sooo deserves a stout OL for once in his career….lol
Piggy,
I got one more. Sleeper
At LB; for Herd, Jermaine Holmes, LB, Marshall
Your score is: 4728 (GRADE: B+)
Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 14: Danny Shelton, DT, Washington (A)
Round 2 Pick 15: Denzel Perryman, ILB, Miami (Fla.) (B)
Round 3 Pick 14: T.J. Yeldon, RB, Alabama (A)
Round 4 Pick 15: Breshad Perriman, WR, UCF (A)
Round 5 Pick 14: Charles Gaines, CB, Louisville (A)
Round 6 Pick 15: Ali Marpet, OG, Hobart & William Smith (B)
Round 7 Pick 15: Derrick Malone Jr., OLB, Oregon (B+)
I can’t live without a trade down in the first and two wr’s. I also need to have Tomlinson. Man, am I going to be disappointed come this draft.
I wanted to do the draft straight up, no trades.
I’m fine if we do make a trade, I just think these simulators get silly with the trades.
Lou, I think S Durrell Eskridge could be a sleeper for us…I like his length, his speed, and he can tackle pretty well. Coyle should coach him up good…he’d be an upgrade I think over the short poor tackling Jimmy Wilson and might still be on the board by the 5th rd.
I hadn’t even heard of him but when I look and see he’s 6’4 I am intrigued. I’ll have to check him out further on youtube.
I think he’s 6’3, but he’s over 200 with some good speed to go with the size.
Coyle can coach him up?
LOL, I know right…well DB’s are supposed to be his thing….just don’t ask him to stop the run.
Here’s another name: Jacorey Shepherd, CB, Kansas
Adrian Amos, FS, Penn State
What I like about Shepherd and Amos is they both have good play recognition skills which makes their reaction time to the play fast and it gets them to the ball faster than other guys who take longer. Shepherd is also very good at deep coverage and plays the deep ball very well, staying with the receiver and turning when the ball gets there to make the play.
On quick screens he’s fast to react to the line and make a quick tackle.
Amos is a hammer. I love the way the guy hits and he tackles with his arms so a player can’t get away.
I’m familiar with Amos & he does seem to have game, he caught my eye. He’s got some pop to him.
Jacob Hagen, S, Liberty. If they were scouting Aikens there they will probably have the inside info on this kid. Ball Hawk. Only thing is his speed. Hits like a hammer but he’s another one of those guys with football recognition skills that gets him to the play faster. So, he plays faster than his speed suggests. Priority UDFA..
Terrell Pinson, S, LA Tech

What do you guys think of Gerod Holliman for us?
😉
His report card says great ball skills not very interested in tackling anyone?
I watched his bowl game again the other night and he hurt himself stuffing the runner at the line!
Overall I like him
Saw tackle someone in his bowl game and had to go to the sideline because he hurt himself. Ballhawk w/ zero tackle prowess.
Lou
I think it was Brian and I talking about Amos
Love his skills but picks up WAY to many stupid fouls!
That was me on the stupid penalties 😆
Eskridge didn’t look very good in the 2 games I watched of his!
Maybe it was just his off days?
Hey guys, sad to see what happened on the other blog. This site looks really nice so far. Thanks for the invite or keeping it public or however that shit works.

F the cheating patriots. Only ones defending them now are their fans. Kind of funny.
New post up
Most of these guys coming out early are definitely gonna be raw.
