So far, on the defensive side of the ball, I’ve looked at the safety prospects and linebacker prospects. Now, it’s time to take a look at the cornerbacks. Brent Grimes, as far as I’m concerned, is the the only Miami Dolphins CB you can pencil in as a starter. Everyone else, and I do mean E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E, is a question mark.
This draft seems to be deep at CB, but not top heavy. There are a couple of guys that are potential 1st RD picks, but none that are can’t miss talents.
Let’s take a look at this years CB prospects!
Trae Waynes CB – Michigan St. 6’0” 186
Before the combine, Waynes was considered as possibly the first CB to come off the board. After the combine, he solidified his status. Waynes ran a blistering 4.31 in the 40, and put up an impressive 19 reps on the bench.
His last season at Michigan St., Waynes had 3 INT’s along with 8 passes defensed, 1 sack, and 46 tackles, 34 solo.
Waynes can play in any scheme, but he would likely excel in a press scheme, where his size and strength would allow him to bump the receiver off his route. He is a very good cover corner who can stay with any receiver. One thing at the combine that concerns me was his poor cone and 20 YD shuttle scores, 7.06 in the cones, and 4.39 in the shuttle shows poor agility and body control.
NFL.com has Waynes as the #1 CB and rated at 6.27
NFL Comparison – Antonio Cromartie (Waynes, at the moment, has no kids)
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jalen Collins CB – LSU 6’1” 203
While Collins doesn’t have the speed of Waynes, he’s a very good CB in his own right. Collins didn’t fly at the combine, he ran a 4.48, which is fine for an NFL CB. Just to go back to the shuttle, Collins did the shuttle in 6.77, and was the top performer. He was a little better than Waynes in 20 YD shuttle at 4.27, which shows the ability to change directions quickly.
Collins is also leaving as a Junior, and finished his last season with 1 INT, 9 passes defensed, 38 tackles, 28 solo.
Collins only has 10 career starts, so that leaves him without a real body of work to look at. Teams are going to have to project his value. He has the size most teams are looking for. NFL.com has Collins as #2 for CB’s, and has him rated at 6.18.
NFL comparison – Terence Newman
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ronald Darby CB – Florida St. 5’11” 193
Darby performed well at the combine, running a sub 4.4 40 (4.38), and also showed off his hops with a 41.5” vertical.
Darby also left college as a Junior. His last season at Florida St., Darby had no INT’s, 4 passes defensed, 1 FF, and 43 tackles, 28 solo.
Darby is a former HS track star. He has very good body control. Darby has 2 years of experience playing CB, but only 2 INT’s in that time. Also a good cover corner, but hasn’t shown that he’s a playmaker or ballhawk.
NFL.com has Darby rated #3 with a 5.87 rating.
NFL comparison – Johnathan Joseph
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Kevin Johnson CB – Wake Forest 6’0” 188
Johnson is rated as #4 by NFL.com. Johnson is the first CB that we’re looking at that has played all 4 seasons in college. As a Senior, Johnson had 1 INT, 6 passes defensed, 44 tackles, 32 solo. In 4 years, Johnson had 7 total INT’s, with 3 both as a Sophomore and Junior.
Johnson didn’t impress at the combine with his 40 time, just a decent 4.52, but he showed his athletic ability with a 130” broad jump, a 41.5” vertical, an impressive 6.79 cone, and a blazing fast 3.89 20 YD shuttle. While not top end speed fast, he plays fast, and has great agility, acceleration and recovery speed.
Very good cover man, excellent balance, and a good tackler who is willing to support the run. Can play in a press or zone scheme. Plays stronger than he looks.
NFL.com has Johnson rated #4 at 5.86.
NFL comparison – Sam Shields
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Marcus Peters CB – Washington 6’0” 197
Marcus Peters is another Junior leaving college for the NFL. In his last season at Washington, Peters played in 9 games last season, but he was suspended for 1 game after throwing a sideline tantrum, and then later dismissed for run ins with the coaches. Sounds like a perfect fit with ol’ Joe, eh? In his 9 games, Peters came down with 3 INT’s, 7 passed defensed, 1 INT for a TD, and 1 FF. In his 3 year career, minus a few games his last season, Peters had a total of 11 INT’s, pretty impressive.
The combine didn’t do Peters any favors except for his 17 reps on the bench. He ran a 4.53, which is borderline acceptable for a CB. He’s a player though, and has good production. Physical player who likes to intimidate (even his coaches!)
NFL.com has Peters ranked #5 with a 5.82 rating
NFL comparison – Aqib Talib
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
PJ Williams CB – Florida St. 6’0” 194
Williams is the CB on the other side of the field with Ronald Darby at Florida St. That’s a talented secondary right there. Unlike Darby though, PJ Williams didn’t have a great combine. He ran a 4.57, which may hurt his chances as a starting CB. He did show athleticism with a 132” broad jump, and a 40” vertical.
Williams is also leaving FLA St. as a Junior. In his last season, Williams had 1 INT, 10 passes defensed, 1 FF, 1 sack, and 74 tackles, 52 solo.
Williams is ranked #6 on NFL.com with a 5.8 rating
Physical and competitive player who likes to press. Stays physical down the field, which could be a problem in the NFL, where hands-on is frowned upon. Despite his lack of top end speed, Williams is a very good cover corner.
NFL comparison – Stephon Gilmore
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Senquez Golson CB – Ole Miss 5’9” 176
This “mighty-mite” is one of my favorites, probably because he’s often compared to our own Brent Grimes. Ultra-competitive player, who is also a very productive player. A 4year starter at Mississippi, Golson in his Senior year snared 10 INT’s, 1 returned for a TD, had 8 passes defensed, 0.5 sacks, and 43 tackles, 33 solo.
CB with excellent ball skills (just like Grimes). Golson performed well at the combine, just didn’t stand out in any category, but well in all of them. He ran s 4.46, put up 15 reps, and a good 6.81 cone drill. He;’s a very good athlete, with a non-stop motor. He played mostly zone coverage, so he may need to prove he can play press as well, although not here in MIA.
Golson was rated #7 by NFL.com with a 5.73
NFL comparison – I TOLD YA, Brent Grimes!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
D’Joun Smith CB – FAU 5’10” 187
I’m skipping around now (Well, not skipping around the house, just going out of order as far as rankings are concerned)
Smith is a very good athlete, and showed well at the combine. He didn’t kill any one category, but he did well across the board. He ran a 4.45, 18 reps on the bench, and a 6.96 cone drill.
Smith leaves FAU as a Senior. In his last season at FAU, Smith had 1 INT, (returned for a TD) 8 passes defensed, 1 FF, and 53 tackles, 32 solo. He had a great Junior season, with 7 INT’s, 13 passes defensed, 2 FF’s and a TD. The kid is a very competitive player, very spunky. Thing is, he didn’t face a high level of competition at FAU.
NFL.com has Smith rated at 5.61
NFL comparison – Ross Cockrell
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ifo Ekpre-Olomu CB – Oregon 5’9” 192
Ekpre-Olomu was unable to perform at the combine, he is coming off a knee injury he sustained in preparation for the the playoff game against Florida St.
Ekpre-Olomu was a 4 YR starter at Oregon. He finished his Senior year with 2 INT’s, 9 passes defensed, 1 FF and 63 tackles, 43 solo.
Very fluid athlete with loose hips that can change direction well. Plays tough, and has good ball skills. The knee injury is a concern, so that alone will drop him some in the draft. Still, he has potential to be a great CB.
NFL.com has Ekpre-Olomu rated at 5.57
NFL comparison – Alterraun Verner
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Charles Gaines CB – Louisville 5’10” 180
Gaines left Louisville as a Junior. In his last season, he had 2 INT’s, 10 passes defensed, 1 FF, 1 sack, and 36 tackles, 31 solo. In his Sophomore year, Gaines had 5 INT’s (1 returned for a TD). He was a WR when he came to Louisville, and was converted to a CB. This gives him somewhat of an advantage in coverage. Mirrors very well.
Gaines ran a 4.45 at the combine, which is pretty good. He didn’t show particularly well in any other category at the combine.
NFL.com has Gaines rated at 5.56
NFL comparison – Patrick Robinson
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Quinten Rollins CB – Miami (Ohio) 5’11” 195
Interesting prospect who played basketball for 3 years, and then played football as a Senior at Miami of Ohio. He made an easy transition to football, and his basketball skills served him well as a CB. In his one and only season, Rollins had 7 INT’s (1 returned for a TD), 9 passes defensed, 1 FF, and 72 tackles, 53 solo.
Rollins, despite his excellent season will be an NFL project, and likely won’t be a starter right away. He also ran a 4.57 at the combine, which says he likely won’t be on the outside, but could possibly be a fit in the slot.
NFL.com has Rollins rated at a 5.71 (Most likely on potential)
NFL comparison – Perrish Cox
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lorenzo Doss CB – Tulane 5’10” 182
3 year starter at Tulane. Left Tulane as a Junior. In his last season, Doss had 3 INT’s, 9 passes defensed, 1 sack, and 48 tackles, 36 solo. In Doss’s Sophomore season, he had 7 INT’s, and 4 in his Freshman year.
Doss wasn’t impressive at the combine, running a decent 4.5 40, only putting up 9 reps at the bench, and a below average 33.5” vertical, and also did poorly in the cone drills at 7.20. Still, Doss is a player with good ball skills, and that will get him drafted.
NFL.com has Doss rated at 5.65
NFL comparison – Buster Skrine
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
There are other CB’s who may be in the picture, but there are only so many hours in the day. I think we’ll likely see one of the guys above, or maybe 2 on our team. We need CB’s, one because I’m not sure either Jamar Taylor or Will Davis can stay healthy enough to actually play an entire season, and Brent Grimes is going to be 32 by the time the season starts.
If there are any guys you feel should have been here, bring them up on the blog, and give us some info!
Enjoy!

She should be doing more of this, and less of the above . . . . lol
OMG, what a stupid ghetto ho. Why would she have a cake made like that and then post it for the world to see what a low class broad she is. I feel sorry for her. She is highly immature or got serious mental flaws.
Brent, hire a therapist, you can afford it….SMH
Piggy,
The Steelers are prime examples of this but you need good scouts and GM to do their job as well heh.
The Steelers opted to let these guys leave -> Burress, Holmes, Wallace, Sanders, etc. They just keep reloading in the draft.
Every year they draft well
Last 2 years look at their drafts
we will be talking about those players in a few years
Hopefully Hickey can get is there
Guess you can say hated NE has done the same. But finding a franchise QB is the cog that makes all that work from there out.
Finally we have the early stages of a franchise QB, so we should now see good results from the team around that barring horrible drafts. Last year’s was good and helped. We were doing well until the rash of injuries last 6 games.
Pretty much…oh and that bit about blockers to give the QB a comfortable pocket with big passing lanes 😛
Al, correct, but our blockers had a LT go to IR, then a mish mash of G’s.
The Miami Herald reports the Patriots have “shown interest” in free agent Brian Hartline.
Hartline is not an exciting name, but is a competent target on the outside. That’s something the Patriots have made a habit of lacking. Hartline is visiting the Texans on Thursday, and has also drawn interest from the Bears and Browns.
Mike E,
I just read the tweets, what’s the big deal? 100% facts.
It’s all business and players go where they get paid (it’s a job not a popularity contest).
But that cake is so F’d up on many levels…LOL
Miko: Look at me, I’m a chicken head. 😯
No big deal. I want to see what happens when Grimes is a cap casualty, how she’ll be ripping the Dolphins a new a-hole. Tell me you don’t think that’s gonna happen . . .
She’s already griping about Suh & if we sign another CB at a higher salary than her man.
GDP
You never saw the cake? LOL! That’s been a topic of discussion for quite some time, I’m gonna
say over 2 years. She’s a big mouth, in more ways than one.
Mike, it’s the first time I’ve seen it. Now I know why I’ve seen you guys making references to cake when her name or Brent’s comes up….LOL
YOUNG STANGER: Better tickets on the North (visitor’s) side were NOT available at any price!!–IF I wanted season’d tix between the 30’s I had to pony up $1000 per ticket per game, or more.
Better yardline tix were offered to me ONLY in the UPPER DECK!!
40 rows up in the lower section shouldn’t be too bad. You’ll see a wider range of the field from there. Especially if you’re now gonna be outside of the 30.
TO REPEAT; I do NOT believe the ticket office was honest with me or Jim. –I believe Ross is holding back on tix between the 30’s ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STADIUM as rewards to those who buy the super expensive tix—a concept Joe Robbie created when the team moved to this stadium in 1987. Buying tix in the exclusive zone gets you an opportunity to buy tix between the 30’s, that’s how I see it.
I’m sure that’s how it goes. The average working stiff fan is mostly forced to follow his team by watching on TV.
Guess Revis Island will still be in the AFC East one way or the other. I hope the bidding war gets very very high. Spend that money guys….lol
ESPN’s Adam Schefter believes the Jets will attempt to pay Darrelle Revis “anything he wants” if/when he becomes a free agent.
Schefter believes the Revis sweepstakes will come down to the Jets and Patriots. The Jets made the difficult, but likely correct, decision to trade Revis two years ago, but meddlesome owner Woody Johnson has apparently felt regret. The New York media has spent the better part of two years beating the drum for Revis’ return. Johnson seems to feel the pressure. Whatever the motivations, Revis would fill a huge need for Gang Green, and be playing for a coach in Todd Bowles who maximizes talent and scheme much the same way Rex Ryan does.
Houston Texans safety D.J. Swearinger is under investigation in Texas … after the 23-year-old allegedly stole his own truck from a customizer without paying for $20k in upgrades … TMZ Sports has learned.
It’s a bizarre story, but here’s how it breaks down:
According to a police report filed in Houston, Swearinger took his 2013 F250 truck to Espi Motors to get his ride pimped out like a boss — matte black paint with a Batman logo, speakers, new wheels, custom grill, train horn, etc.
But according to Espi, when he came to pick up the whip, he got sticker shock … and drove it off the lot WITHOUT paying for the work.
Espi tried to track down Swearinger to get the cash, but D.J. went M.I.A. so Espi filed a police report.
That is really dumb of a guy that makes the money he makes. Besides, didn’t the asswipe get an estimate first….SMH
STILL PISSED-OFF. –Going to the store with wifey. Maybe I’ll cool down. –FUCK STEVE ROSS!
How’s the Mrs. OD doing?
All of a sudden its “Todd Bowles who maximizes talent and scheme” and isn’t just another coordinator looking for an opportunity and finally got one. Funny how that works.
LOL, yeah…he’s done well in a talent loaded defense in Arizona, now we’ll see how that translates to being HC of the Gag Green.
BTW, Vince Wilfork getting set free by the Pats kinda changes the whole dynamics of pursuing Suh now I’d think if I was Hickey.
How?
Wilfork is a temporary solution, while Suh is entering his prime and would be here for a long period.
I wouldn’t trust Wilfork here, he’d come here for a check and to get fatter, he hates the Fins. I don’t want him.
Swearinger is a scum bag. Poser phuck face.
This to GD as well — thing is it will go away real quick once his people read the story. They’ll just pay. But when Swearinger hits FA I’ll remember. And even if the coaches and GMs don’t, it’ll be in the report on him. Dude probably just cost himself a million or more bucks.
So I see we re-signed Fox for depth. Not surprising.
@AdamSchefter: Former Dolphins WR Brian Hartline is visiting the Texans today.
Fine let him go there and catch the ball and then the ground for them, lol
Andrew Abramson ✔ @AbramsonPBP
#Dolphins re-sign safety Jordan Kovacs, per his agent @davidcanter
Well, that’s a good sign that they think he’s developing.
I guess the raiders are int he suh derby also. He might be a good fit over there.
There are about 4-6 teams in it
Miami, Jax, TB, Oak and Dteroit from what I hear
Indy too, in fact reports say Miami & Indy seem top be the two biggest players so far.
Son, I’m not sure Wilfork really hates the Phins, he said those things as a Patriot, but he’s from the Cane’s.
….and it does change things to me because if we lose on Suh, or don’t want to pat that amount, then we can get Wilfork cheaper due to age and use him as a stop gap run stuffer while we keep developing the young DT’s we have or will draft.
Your score is: 6066 (GRADE: A)
Your Picks:
Round 1 Pick 20 (PHI): Amari Cooper, WR, Alabama (A)
Round 2 Pick 15: Cameron Erving, OT/OG, Florida State (A-)
Round 2 Pick 17 (K.C.): Benardrick McKinney, OLB, Mississippi State (A)
Round 2 Pick 19 (HOU): Todd Gurley, RB, Georgia (A)
Round 2 Pick 20 (PHI): Jalen Collins, CB, LSU (B+)
Round 3 Pick 14: Stephone Anthony, ILB, Clemson (C)
Round 3 Pick 18 (HOU): Phillip Dorsett, WR, Miami (Fla.) (B+)
Round 4 Pick 15: Joey Mbu, DT, Houston (A)
Round 5 Pick 14: Kurtis Drummond, FS, Michigan State (A-)
Round 6 Pick 15: Karlos Williams, RB, Florida State (C+)
Round 7 Pick 15: Blake Bell, TE, Oklahoma (B-)
Don’t worry Anthony will be an “A” grade value next week
LMAO, Mike…that sight is so inaccurate.
I see the converted QB to TE Blake Bell there. He’s really grown on me. He’s raw for now, but I think he’ll turn out to be a real steal from the 5th round on!!!
Raw rout runner still a little inconsistent catching. On the other hand, he’s athletic for his size, tough, and is able to find soft spots in coverage and sit in them.
Yes, he is very athletic. Put up real nice numbers at combine. Quickly improved his blocking and receiving skills as the few games as a TE went along last season.
As a former QB, he knows where the soft spots are by reading the coverages.
I think he’ll be a steal, he’s 6’6 260.
Lots to work with him. Patience could equal a huge payoff!
GDP and YS and MIKE E; -WON’T have any results on MRS. OD’s tests until next week. -Thanks for your concern.
Will say a prayer for ya both!

Dbolt, remember how good of a WR that college QB Matt Jones became? Then he blew it all away with a nose candy problem…dumbass.
Remember him having a field day against our defense. Kid had special abilities, but sniffed it all away
How do you turn of emails from this site m I’ve gotten more than 100 since 1:30
I hate that
I think you cklicked “notify me when I get a response”
so unclick it
It unchecks itself one you refresh.
I think I got it.
Can you get those removed, or at least placed somewhere else on the page?
Try
I guess we can ask Herd or Twice
I’m not the techie of this place…lol
Speaking of Twice the², had he made an appearance lately?
Bengals re-signed MLB Rey Maualuga to a three-year contract.
One potential MLB FA down.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports free agent Brian Hartline would take less money to play with Tom Brady, but would require “more” to play with Josh McCown or Texans free agent Ryan Mallett.
I would take Watt all day long over Suh, mostly because of Suh’s propensity for going over the line, they are both special talents and game changers from their respective positions. If we do sign Suh I’ll be excited to see how he changes the intensity of the defense as a whole.
Id be saying we should sign Watt if he were a FA too…again, this kinda FA doesnt come along often.
I would be too.

Where’s my beer?
Ok ok so i owe ya one. Man thats kinda dumb really, i mean he single-handedly gave leverage to the Pats and belittled other suitors lol.
That jerk!. I told him on Twitter not to sign with the Pets. I thought for sure he’d stay away from them after that…
Wow, Adam Caplan saying Suh to Fins a done deal.
Of course I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard that the last few years and then it doesn’t happen, lol.
D, I’m not big on Rey Maualuga, he’s good playing the run, but a liability in coverage. More a 2 down guy. Glad we didn’t give him big money.
Same as Spikes. People scoff at idea of Spikes, but him on running downs would really solidify the LB position, bring in Misi for coverage downs. Spikes wouldnt cost much either.
it’s kind of funny all the pictures of Odrick on twitter. Don’t they all know we’re getting Suh? If we do, there’s no way in hell we pay Odrick too.
D-Bolt
I think I got the C grade on Anthony because I took McKinney as an ILB. I meant to take him as an OLB. They probably looked at it as doubling up on the same position.

D, good point on Spikes, but we aren’t sure Misi can handle coverage. Maybe bring in Tripp for that. I look forward to seeing what he brings in his 2nd season.

FFR – That’s WRONG bro. Yuck!
Im not saying Suh IS going to sign here, im not saying he HAS to sign here or ill be upset, im not even saying it is only way we get better, but damn can anyone argue we would be improved, can anyone really argue you dont take a shot at a once in a blue moon FA opportunity. It would be kind of like saying we shouldnt even have taken a shot at Manning. No we didn’t land him and no it probably wouldn’t have been the one thing we needed to get us over the hump, but do you just fucking pass on it? No way man, i mean you guys tell me i dont have passion for our team all the time because i refuse to fire everyone every year we dont make the playoffs, but now its, oh we need a more conservative approach lol….really?
NOT ONE SIngle person on this site has advocated “fire everyone every year.” What has been said is that, after several years of failure (Sparano, Ireland, Henne, etc.) people need to be replaced as opposed to given a 4th or 5th year to prove they are failures. I DO QUESTION the passion of those wanting to bring back Ireland for yet another year of failure. I DO QUESTION the passion of those who, like Steve Ross, thought Sparano “was the right guy to lead the Dolphins into the future after yet another year of failure started with an 0-7 start. And I DO QUESTION the wisdom of bringing back Philbin for yet ANOTHER YEAR WITHOUT PLAYOFFS after proving over the last several years he’s simply NOT the man for the job. NOTICE NONE of these guys were fired after one or two years. THAT status is reserved for Cam Cameron, who, history has proved, was rightly fired after just ONE YEAR.
Mike E.; My wife says “thank you.”

It’s not that I don’t want Suh here, I think it would be great. All I’m saying is I don’t believe he’s coming here.
At first i believed same, but im beginning to be more 50/50 on it. Like i said great if it does, roll on to the next best if it doesnt. I still have Knighton as a guy i really would be happy as a fallback.
I mean cant ya be optimistic for it without it being a declaration of fact?
I’m in the same boat. Suh would improve the D immediately. Just don’t see him here.

I’ll help you with the killing.

God I pray it snows again.
GD, Wilfork grew up a Bills fan and always hated the Dolphins because his whole family were Dolphin fans and he wanted to be different.
Fact: Whales hate dolphins, they are fed up with those fucking dolphins interrupting their singing with that incessant chirping.
Fact: Wilfork is a whale.
So there ya go.
LOL
Clay should come in a lil less than this…and should be signed for 4-5yrs since he’s younger.
Panthers signed TE Greg Olsen to a three-year, $22.5 million extension through 2018.
The deal includes a whopping $12 million signing bonus. Headed into the final year of his contract, Olsen had been set to make $5.25 million. The new deal is well deserved for one of the league’s most consistent players. Olsen has caught at least 69 passes each of the past three seasons, and posted new career highs in receptions (84) and yards (1,008) last season. He turns 30 next week.

I like the snow because it can give me a snow day. That doesn’t happen in the spring.
They don’t close the office when it’s 50 and sunny, or even 50 and rainy. lol
LOL, I hear ya but fuck that.
Actually I don’t think we got 5-6″ now that I think about it. Probably more like 4″ but with clearing off all the cars and some of the drifts it seemed like more. It’s also still snowing very lightly but you can only see it in the street lights.
It’s going to be sunny tomorrow but only 25-30 so we’ll have to wait until the weekend for the 40s and then next week 40s and 50s. That can’t come quick enough.
Man inches or woman inches?
It’s still snowing here. I think we got another 2-3″ since we shoveled.
Try – Just caught your Miller Jenuine Draft. lol
The worst shoveling is after the plows come by and you have to shovel all that crap snow at the base of your driveway. It’s heavy and dirty.
What’s “Suh-up” 😉

Fact: Whales hate dolphins,”
Southpark: “fuck yew whale… fuck yew dawfin”
I was thinking about our reported interest in Suh and some here don’t see how it’s possible. If Suh meets with us and agrees on a deal, Starks and Ellerbe will be released and that’s over $10M right there.
I decided to scroll through every single blog I have missed since Christmas….
Synopsis:
-fire (fill in the blank)
-Wallace is a piece of (heaven/shit)
-Tanny’s (contract/Lauren) sucks
-Combine (blah/blah/blah/blah)… “it’s our year, Go Phins!”
-Salary Cap zzzzzzzzzzzzz … I mean Mock Draft…. ‘thunk’ zzzzzzzzzzz…. Is the combine over?
-Cut his ass/WTF?
-Spring Break and rhinos come out of hibernation, up next on Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom
-crickets…. cuz it’s the fuckin’ off season. 🙂 OR is it the “fuckin’ off” season?
Free agency starts Saturday, bro. That is sometimes as exciting to fans as the season. LOL
It must be starting later cuz in years past it would start the weekend of our state meet…. I’d be checking online reports throughout the day making my team think I’m crunching numbers or something lol. Jan and Feb are a blur to me every year.
I’m so excited for next week in the 40s and 50s with some good sun days. Let the melting begin. 🙂

It’s not that I don’t want Suh here, I think it would be great.
i admit i dont. other then manning the history of high priced FA is just failure. not sure why it is so hard to get but this is a team sport. spending 1/5th your cap on one player just means you have one high priced player and a bunch of nobody’s . and i dont say this joking, i do believe roger will suspend him for the year the first time he doesnt blow his nose right.
This happened in Tampa^
try
wasnt me. now if it were a cat……awwwww who knows.
FFR, we can clear more cap this year and next year as we move along with Suh. The key is young players on low end contracts stepping up, and drafting well.
We’re an 8-8 team and I think the org thinks we can take the next step by adding an elite DT. I for one did not think we were in the running at all for Suh but all this buzz is not just BS. The team will try to do anything they can to make the playoffs in 2015 and go from there.
Hey Rhino! Sorry I missed ya there, I was feeding my face. lol
tim
huh???? i didnt say anything about the cap. all i said is suh will just be a bust. he will just be another high priced FA that doesnt work out. not like there isnt a track record on how high priced FA’s work out. but hell sign him, should only take one game before roger suspended him for the year
Reggie White wasn’t a bust for the Packers. Suh is a dominant force, he will not be a bust unless he suffers a horrible injury.
lol you manly men talking about how many inches you have yet complain what i wear to work.

lol oh wow, well you got me there. what the hell am i thinking. i mean one high priced FA in the 1700’s that worked out. what the fuck was i thinking.
Calm down! LOL
It was one example, I can go on if you’d like but what’s the point? Suh is a great player entering his 6th season. It’s not like we’re signing Steve Emtman off a bad knee injury in 1995.
Jason Fox endorses Suh.
Fox gave a favorable review.
“He’s obviously a dominant player,” Fox said. “He’s one of the best defensive tackles, if not the best defensive tackle, in the whole NFL. He’s a game-changing type of player.
“In the locker room he’s not the rah-rah guy. He speaks up when he feels like it’s necessary, but he’s a guy that leads by example.”
tim
for every high priced FA that worked out i willing to bet 10 times have failed. but hell what do i know. lets go ahead and sign him. they can only get 8 games worse
The idea is to add talent and that’s why multiple teams are interested in Suh. If we don’t get him someone else will. I’m not a fan of what a lot of guys get paid, I think it’s over the top but it doesn’t change the fact that a guy is talented.
It was so much easier and more fun back in the day when we didn’t know cap stuff and we just added players and prospects and rooted it on. Now we all have questions about any move we make.
tim
yeah add talent thru the draft. once again show me that list of over the top high priced FA’s that made a team a winner.
Let’s hope we do it right.
Manning
A guys pricetage does not make him successful
I think you sign a free agent expecting them to be exactly what they have always been
If Suh is the same player for his next team as he way for Detroit, well his not team really did well for themselves
Tim
Does free agency begin Saturday or Tuesday?
I thought it was Tuesday
Teams can meet and greet with players Saturday, Tuesday is official sign day.
When do you have to wear pants?
There are plenty of teams that have found success after signing a big $ free agent
Denver – Manning
Saints – Brees
Seattle – Flynn
Yes I said Seatle and Flynn
Not bc Flynn was a success
But bc Spending in Flynn did not hurt their success
The reality is most of your team is going to be made of draftees from the last 3-4 years and low priced vets
And you have to draft well
But signing a big $ free agent does not hurt that ability
It also doesn’t help it of you aren’t doing it well

Manning
wow. boy am i ever being put in my place tonight. i mean two FA that have worked over the last 20 centuries. oh well goes to show what i know. you all win. lets give someone enough money to make him never to have to work again in his life. that sooooo works out all the time as just proven to me.
I didn’t check when this was updated
But check it out
http://nfltraderumors.co/nfl-cap-space-1/
Not spending doesn’t create success
Spending more doesn’t create success
But not spending defiantly leads to less talent
To me the key with Suh or any other free agent is whether it will hurt us I. Resigning Tanny
Bc I do to want to have to hunt for a new qb
And it appears that the answer to that is no
piggy
sorry pigude but your list has one high price FA. the other two didnt break the bank. and if i am not mistake didnt that one high price FA on your list take a big ass pay cut this year?
FFROb
The fact is
Most of the time, the best players in the NFL don’t get away from their respective teams
The fact that Suh is in the market is a result of a lot of other factors other than the quality of the player
It’s amazing that he is out there: just like it was amazingmg the Manning was a free agent
And when Manning was a free agent, a lot of people criticized signing him as well for various reasons
But look at the success he brought Denver
piggy
well hopefully suh can break mannings single season td record. according to randy out qb sucks so who knows.
and again, you point out one instance. how did wallace work out or ellerbe. and that is just two on the fins. i get it. everyone gets in a tissy over a big name. but you know you only pointed out two players when there are 20 times as many big time FA bust
Wallace
Ellerbee and wheeler and those guys all weren’t very good when we signed him
It’s foolish to overpay average players
It’s not foolish to overpay elite players
That not an argument against not signing Suh
That an argument against not signing Cobb or some of the other average players at there that you have to overpay for
I keep seeing tweets and posts from people who don’t want to say Suh and instead want to sign a bunch of less expensive guys who will still be overplayed and cut within 3 years
That a route to 8-8
If you sign the right player, they are difference makers
And I beleive Suh is the right player
I guess we can sign Odrick, Cobb and Dan Williams instead
I don’t want to do that
There are elite players and there are other guys
http://www.thephinsider.com/2015/3/5/8153669/dolphins-salary-cap-2015-update-3-5-15
good article on how much the Dolphins have committed, how much room we have, and how much more room we can acquire by cutting a guy spelled out player by player with post June 1 designations shown. Ellerby is gone after June 1. Perhaps Starks too.
I saw Heartline is “getting interest” from the Pats……That is going to suck. Of course they have to pay Gronk 15M this year.
That a route to 8-8
If you sign the right player, they are difference makers
And I beleive Suh is the right player
yep, everyone knows the key from 8-8 to 14-2 and a SB is a interior d linemen. hell, why the colts will never make it or drafting luck. should of used that pick on an interior linemen.
listen, not saying suh isnt a great player, but the fins are way way way more then one great player away. great sign suh and waste your cap on him. cause the lb and safetys are out of this world in the fins. i would agree piggy if the only team hurting this team was an interior linemen. but they cant even put on a pass rush or get a simple first down to milk away a game.
FFRob
One great player can make he other players better
Having a player you can build around is a path to success
Herein lies the rub (to me): I don’t think we are one player away from being afc championship competitive, particularly a player on the defensive side of the ball, but I accept the coaches may feel different, and if you’re Philbin and your feeling a little heat, perhaps you think Suh is the best opportunity to getting that heat off of your ass, so you go all in and let the chips fall where they may.

yep it happens all the time. what i have been saying, every team is successful signing one big named FA i mean there are at lest two examples in the nfl.
I don’t know if I’d count Suh out of it quite yet
Dollar for dollar florida taxes = more dollars
The guy may be a dick
But he is a badass
The reaction from Brady when Suh is announced
Worth every penny
Agreed
What was the score the last time they played each other? I’m not so sure Brady is as scared as you are making him out to be.
ok with that i am out. it is exhausting talking to a pig. besides i am starving, thinking a pull porked sandwich on the way home. night all
You bastard!
“NOT ONE SIngle person on this site has advocated “fire everyone every year.” What has been said is that, after several years of failure (Sparano, Ireland, Henne, etc.) people need to be replaced as opposed to given a 4th or 5th year to prove they are failures. I DO QUESTION the passion of those wanting to bring back Ireland for yet another year of failure. I DO QUESTION the passion of those who, like Steve Ross, thought Sparano “was the right guy to lead the Dolphins into the future after yet another year of failure started with an 0-7 start. And I DO QUESTION the wisdom of bringing back Philbin for yet ANOTHER YEAR WITHOUT PLAYOFFS after proving over the last several years he’s simply NOT the man for the job. NOTICE NONE of these guys were fired after one or two years. THAT status is reserved for Cam Cameron, who, history has proved, was rightly fired after just ONE YEAR.”
It is not your place to question the passion of any of us. Not ever, not in any circumstance. Got that? SMDH.
You cross a line when you question someone else’s passion.
Ok, dialing it back. Love and respect to you OD. Just hit a nerve there. Wishing the Mrs. all the best.
I’m not making excuses for him, but I think he may have gotten into his “rant” a little heavier than he intended. I understand your response to it however, and I know you have pretty consistently expressed this position.
Yeah, I recognized that. like I said, it just hit a nerve for me.
Agreed
I’m not really a fire everyone kind of guy
But……
After years of stuck in the middle, on my team ?
Everyone is under the microscope
Let’s start with the guy who makes the coffee in the morning
Is he doing it right ?
And EVERY player on my squad is available
On the heated September afternoons the prey will be killed on the Suh-dan.
The Suh-perior beast will prevail.
Suh-port our Fins!
And if I ever have a son, I think I’m gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but Suh! I still hate that name!
Ndamukong George!!!
Suh-pose we get a Great player?
