THE PORCINE ODDYSSEY #90: SUH-DENLY
I know there are a lot of opinions on whether the Dolphins should have signed Ndamukong Suh, especially given the price tag. So I wrote this little ditty to put it in perspective.
PIGGY BEGINS TO PLAY HIS GUITAR
(singing)
I used to think that free agency was just a fairy tale
After that Mike Wallace contract and after Wheeler and Ellerbee
But if I had to do it all again, I wouldn’t change a thing
‘Cause somehow Aponte found cap room to sign and Pay Suh’s fee
(singing)
SUH-denly, oinks have new meaning to me
There’s piggies up above
And players that can change the way you play D
You wake up and SUH-denly, you’re a dominant defense
(singing)
Suh, you’re everything a Dolfan could want and more
One thousand tackles are not enough to oink how much I hate Brady
And now you’ve come to this sunny shore
Never felt like this before, now go kill Brady
(singing)
SUH-denly, oinks have new meaning to me
There’s piggies up above
Tom Brady will need a nurse to help him pee
You wake up and SUH-denly, you’re a dominant defense
(singing)
Each day I squeal
That Tom Brady won’t play another game
(singing)
SUH-denly, oinks have new meaning to me
There’s piggies up above
potential damage to Brady’s organs makes me say Weeeeeeeeeeeeee
You wake up and SUH-denly, you’re a dominant defense
(singing)
SUH-denly, oinks have new meaning to me
There’s piggies up above
Suh, I want you end this cheaters career, pleeeeeeeeeeeeease
You wake up and SUH-denly, you’re a dominant defense
(singing)
There’s piggies up above
And Suh is gonna eat your liver
You wake up and Suh-denly, you’re a dominant defense

Al:
It’s not that I disagree that DT is an important position or that it’s worth spending big money on but we are talking astronomical money and there will be an affect on our ability to land FAs and retain key talent on the roster on a going forward basis. It may be worth it if Suh delivers as envisioned, if not we will be in a bit of trouble.
So whats your vision of what he needs to deliver to be worth it?
Man some of you have ulcers that have ulcers as much as you worry….can the team even get to preseason before you judge the next three years outcome?
I want this “team” to win — yes the thought of Suh crushing Tom Brady is thrilling but only if we beat them twice, make the playoffs and have a run at the Super Bowl. Anything short of that would be a failure IMO.
So whats your vision of what he needs to deliver to be worth it?
25 sacks and we wrap up a playoff birth in week 9.
LOL
Where do I sign up?
Lol @ Gigi, take it from a long time Californian, ask for the stuff that tastes good but isn’t insanely potent. You’ll still get great quality, but actually might remember what happened when you wake up the next morning. 🙂
What is the last team to win the Super Bowl with the top FA (biggest contract)?
Off the top of my head I’d say Green bay with Reggie White. Interesting isn’t it?
Different eras, different rules, different emphasis. I don’t think the comparison is as close as you seem to.
Did anyone make more than the 16M cash that Revis got last year? I have to figure his and Brady’s contracts were amongst the largest for the year, though I confess, I wouldn’t even know how to research this question.
Right Jahn, the pats last year with Revis. It just wasn’t a long term deal but they won and hadn’t won all those years prior to having him.
Pretty crazy how excited the board is over the McCain signing huh? 🙂
He puts us over the top. Sure hope he doesn’t get hurt.
Wait a second, who? lol
LOL…Senator McCain right?
John McCain? How is an 80 y/o senator with disabilities going to help this team? Legislate against the Patriots?
This is what happens when you don’t refresh your screen often enough^^^^^
D:
My vision for Suh to be worth the price is that we are a top 5 D for the next 3 years and we make the playoffs in those 3 years. Short of that I think we invested too much money on one side of the ball and in one position at the expense of others
I have no concerns about Suh’s commitment. Injury is my only fear.
As far as Suh is concerned, and what I expect . . .
I expect our defense to be consistently better, every week, and that includes the last 3 games of the season. I expect other players around him to play better, benefitting from the extra attention Suh will require from the offense, and I honestly expect to get into the playoffs, as long as we get a top WR in this draft, and a LB who can tackle and stay on the field for an entire season.
Suh is a very good talent, but he’s just one guy. Great defenses are built on the backs of more than one really good player. This team still has major concerns at safety, lb and cb. I don’t see any way Suh alone turns this defense into one that can win a championship…lif that’s what people consider a ‘championship defense”. And, as has been suggested, good coaches can take one player out of the game. It’s up to other guys to make plays when that happens. Do we have other guys who can make those plays? Outside of Wake doing it from time to time, who on our team makes game changing plays?
I’m excited as a fan to have a great player on our team, but I think folks are getting a little ahead of themselves about the extent of his impact on our defense. He will make us a better defense…but this defense still has several holes that need to be fixed. Can the team do that with a strapped salary structure after Suh’s contract?
Agree 100%!
How come I can’t say this? Dammit. I’ve only been trying for 3 weeks, now.
Jahn: I can handle mango blue dream but not kush – way too potent for me! I only take a few puffs anyway can’t handle more then that.
I’m a one hitter quitter myself. Getting too old for anything more. 🙂
Big fan of the Blue Dream myself.
same here….. 🙂
I expect Suh to be the best DT in the league as well as a polished pulling guard. I expect him to be pretty close to 100% on his field goal attempts and lead the league in touchbacks on his kick-offs. I expect him to have one of the best per attempt punting averages but also lead the league in kicks inside the opponents 20. Plus I think he’ll give Landry a lot of competition for return duties.
Well, that’s reasonable. I’m fully on board, now.
I’m not even worried about injury with Suh…there’s not much you can do about injuries. I’m more worried about him missing games because of being suspended. I love his tenacity, but he needs to control it and not hurt the team.
I don’t think anyone thinks Suh alone changes everything. But he upgrades the interior of the defense because of what he’s capable of.
I also think the defense has several other good to very good players including the whole DL. Wake, Mitchell, Suh, Vernon, with lots of depth in Fede, Shelby, Jordan etc.
I think LB is a little bit of a question mark, but with that DL, every player lining up should have their game elevated. In the secondary we have 2 probowl level players (IMHO in Grimes and Jones, and some “somewhat promising” potential at the other CB slot.
In short, I never saw a player like Suh as single handedly doing it all, but players like that inarguably raise the game of the players around them, and there’s already some pretty good talent staffing those spots.
Agreed and I’m not overly concerned about adding some other additions to improve the defense. It’s not like we have no talent.
Surprised to hear Buffalo is letting Clay go visit with Cleveland without an offer being extended. That is some cause for hope.
Conflicting reports with national media saying he’s visiting the Browns while Buffalo local reporters were saying his still in Buffalo. Did you see anything definitive?
That’s how those reports can be misleading. One day he’s shopping for houses because he’s so “confident” he’s going to be a Bill, and the next he’s heading to Cleveland without an offer sheet having been signed.
I’m not one who’s going to say Clay isn’t “worth” 9M a year, if the market bears it, then that’s what he’s worth. But…I think Clay’s knee is and should be a concern for any team that considers signing him. I do think he’s a top 5 TE in this league, and some of the best minds in football have told us he keeps them up at night with matchup concerns, but his injury history could impact this next contract somewhat.
Defensive strategy for last four years has been “get to Brady”… we have potent (popular blog word today) pass rushers, but Wake was still getting tons of double-teams, nullifying our “pass rush” strategy. Signing Mitchell last year, and Suh this year, is apparently the next step in freeing up Wake and Vernon (our original plan). So we essentially swapped out Starks and Odrick for Suh on the d-line with youngsters playing backup. If Earth-wake doesn’t get the sack totals now, that we’ve all expected in the past, we’ll know not to resign him when he becomes a FA. just some thoughts
Trypod,
I simply read your posts and dumbed them down….it’s what I do. Lol
Not likely! I apparently enjoy the sound of my own (voice), because I tend to say in 20 words what most can say in 10.
Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
Dolphins aren’t done adding CBs. They are working on scheduling visit with Falcons FA CB Robert McClain, potentially this week.Five-yr. pro.
We are trying to corner the market on players named McCain or McClain.
Remember when we had Fiedler, Feeley and Feely (punter)???
I probably spelled some of those names wrong btw…lol..
Jahn:
Our DL is going to be the key to the entire defense. The big question and where we will hopefully see Suh’s impact is whether or not our LBs will now be able to make more plays because of Suh. I think we are going to have to go with the talent we have at LB for the most part. We may add someone else but Suh’s biggest impact should be to allow the current crop of LBs to make more plays. I suspect one of the major problems with our LBs the last couple of seasons is that our crop of DTs were not doing a good enough of job of keeping the LBs unblocked. Theorotically Suh should upgrade 2 units at once, the DL and LBs.
I agree somewhat, but I sincerely believe the biggest impact we’re going to see is right there on the DL and it’s ability to rush the QB, which..of course, will have a trickle down effect to the rest of the defense.
We need a full healthy year out of Misi that would be huge. McCain is liable to add a lot of pop and athleticism to the unit as well.
McCain, McCain, McClain, McDonald, McSuh – it’s getting confusing
I still think the overall success of this team relies much more on the offense improving than the defense doing so.
That will always be the case. You need to score plenty of touchdowns in this league :P.
Our FA moves seem to indicate that the FO thinks otherwise.
hey Jahn.. hope all is well in Cali.
see post above about Suh’s impact…. = pass rush (and not from Suh). Beating Brady has always been about the pass rush and neither Starks or Odrick could demand a double team like Suh. Wake will finally get one on one’s!! and even Vernon will have better opportunities cuz Suh has to be accounted for every single time the offense walks to the line of scrimmage.

That’s true Randy, the O needs to avoid the droughts it had in some portions of games and some whole games. Scoring 16-13-13 in December ain’t gonna get it done as we just saw.
Ken,
Teams will not run inside as much on us, so the biggest area we need to see improvement is run defense on the edges. Vernon was average at best last year against the run. Wake has improved against the run, but he’s still not what I’d call a run stuffer. Probably why Shelby gets more snaps because he’s a better run defender. Our outside LBers were poor to average. So, how does Suh improve our team in those areas?
Mitchell started getting double teamed often because Wake was easy for teams to shove around in the ground game (Vernon is decent against run but he takes bad angles at times against the run).

I think Mitchell stands to benefit the most from Suh’s presence. The Suh move clearly puts the scope now on Coyle’s scheme. 3 man pass rush or 4 man pass rush calls on 3rd down will define him.
How can this defense have good talent and still perform as they did down the stretch? Sooner or later you gotta consider the possibility that the talent simply isn’t that good.
It was injuries man, we have to stay healthy. Both johnsons, francis, and almost the whole secondary was hurt. LBer’s were banged up bad too. It was a bad year for injuries.
every team has injuries. Our end of season melt down is more than just injuries.
I think the poor DT play was a major factor in particular as the run D. LBs were not being left unblocked. Hopefully that changes. I expect big improvement in the run D with Suh.
Injuries and scheme which led to weardown. The scheme needed a guy like Suh to take on double teams and keep the OL off of the guys in the secondary. Over time, lacking that player proved this out. 2 consecutive years the defense was very good early, and collapsed down the stretch. You can’t tell me you don’t think Suh’s presence over an entire season isn’t going to reduce the wear and tear on the other defenders.
Suh IS the missing piece that prevents that late season weardown. Players like Wake don’t lose talent over the course of a season, but talent like his can be mitigated if he’s too worn down from taking on too many double teams over the course of a season. This isn’t about talent, I gave the names. It’s about the ability to keep that talent fresh and healthy late in a season.
Al,
I agree that Suh is going to help Mitchell a lot. Mitchell is at his best when he’s using his quickness to beat single blocking. The great thing about Suh is that not only can he control 2 gaps…he can still make plays doing it. He’s not just a block eater. He occupies 2 or 3 blockers and still gets his tackles or sacks. I’ll be interested to see how they use him and Mitchell together.
Results are starting to trickle in from Michigan, and the big news is Devin Funchess, the No. 1 tight end on my board, unofficially timed in the 4.5s (4.53/4.52). His fastest official 40 time at the Combine clocked 4.61.
Funchess is now catching passes from Tyler Wilson, theformer Arkansas quarterback selected in the fourth round of the 2013 draft by the Oakland Raiders.
Cornerback Raymon Taylor, who struggled with a leg injury all last season, timed 4.42 in the 40.
Linebacker Jake Ryan is standing on his Combine numbers and just doing position drills.
son,
While it’s true that injuries happened, it’s part of the game…and you have to be able to win despite your injuries….specifically late in the season. Because, more than likely, you’re gonna have your share of injuries every year. That’s part of the reason I’ve been harping on our suspect depth for years. We had injuries, but they weren’t really to our big money defensive guys. Those guys, for the most part, played all year. Also, this late season fade has been going on for a number of years.
Suh is the most talented DT in the game. You don’t think he’d have made a difference in either of those games? That’s the discussion here…not what happened last season, but what happens with a boy named Suh in the lineup instead.
Later guys and gals. I’m psyched to have Suh on our team. Interior pressure may be the key to us finally kicking Brady’s ass!
The last team to win a Super Bowl with a FA signing is New England
Who signed Reavis to a 1 year deal for 12M with a 2nd year option (they elected not to exercise for 20M)
In addition to that
New England signed there owned people to prevent them from, being FAs
Tom Brady had a 14M caop hit in 2014
Mayo had 10M cap in 2014
Gronk had 8.5
solder has over 7M
The Patriots spent almost all of their cap money
Spending in the NFL wins
need another example
Matt Flynn signed a 3 year 20M deal with the Seahawks in 2012
The Seahawks never started him elcting instead to start Russel Wilson from the get go
and winnign a super bowl in 2013
Flynn is one of the worst free agent signings in recent years
and it didn’t hurt the seahwaks one bit
Every winning league in this team spends a large portion of their cap space
every winning team in this league takes risks in signing players
There is no qay to be successful without doing that
People like to criticize spending in free agency
but every successful teams is close to their cap limit
spending int he NFL does not equal losing
that is a myth
If the Dolphins did not sign Suh
and instead filled holes and signed Odrick, Clay and kept Gibson and Hartline the cap hit they would take would have probably been about the same
And the roster would have undoubtebly been the same as 8-8 the year before
How is that better?
Or we could have let those guys go and signed Randall Cobb and Mike Iupati
we could have signed two others guys
Are we better? (Piggy shrugs)
I prefer to go after a player like Suh
Either you want Suh on your team or you don’t
You werne’t going to get Suh without spending $
I’m sure people are going to respond
by saying they like Suh they just don;t like paying so much for him
I like my paycheck
I just don’t enjoy having to work for it
but I’m a realist and I know I have to
This is what it takes in the NFL
spending $
the idea that teams are successful without spending is simply false and unsupoported by any of the last few championship teams
You have to try to win to win
You might try and fail
but if you don;t try you will not succeed
Is this anything different than anything we have been told since we were kids
You aren;t going to win by not spending money
If you don;t respect effort by your franchise, I don’t know what to tell you guys
We might fail
but you better accept that failure is a possibility if you try to do anything , rather than not try at all
Steve CCNV,
If you are out there (or any West coaster watching Nevada games), what’s your take on LB Brock Hekking?
comparing stat splits of Cameron and Clay: both come in in 2011… (Chandler and extra 3 yrs)
year name rec yards tds (games played)
2011 Clay 16, 233, 3 tds (14 games)
2011 Cameron 6, 33, 0 tds (8 games)
2011 Chandler 38, 389, 6 tds (14 games)
2012 Clay 18, 212, 2 tds (14 games)
2012 Cameron 20, 39, 1 td (14 games)
2012 Chandler 43, 571, 6 tds (15 games)
2013 Clay 69, 759, 6 tds (16 games)
2013 Cameron 80, 917, 7 tds (15 games)
2013 Chandler 53, 655 2 tds (16 games)
2014 Clay 58, 605, 3 tds (14 games)
2014 Cameron 24, 424, 2 tds (10 games)
2014 Chandler 47, 497, 3 tds (16 games)
Total Clay 161, 1809, 14 tds (58 games)
Total Cameron 130, 1600, 10 tds (47 games)
Total Chandler 181, 2112, 17 tds (61 games)
Cameron really had the one really big year… but in those four years has had 8 different quarterbacks. Clay has had 4 QBs, but only Tanny the last 3 years.
So how much is an extra 50 yards and 1 td per year worth? Clay has certainly been more consistently productive… but the last two years suggests a his $1.4 being bumped to maybe $2 is worth the gamble.
Chandler was getting $1.95 ($2.85 cap hit) and got CUT. Let’s just trade TE’s with Buffalo and save $5 million. 🙂
Chandler isn’t going to get those targets here in Miami. He has had bad QBs who use him as a security blanket. He’s not even close to as talented as Clay, and I think you have to break the stats out on a per game basis (IMHO) since Clay was out early last year, and clearly not himself when he first came back into the season.
All that said, it’s an interesting comparison, and the choice to keep Clay or let him go may be made for us. There’s not much debate to be had. Nobody knows Clay’s value to the Fins better than the Fins, so if we match or decline, we’ll know what that value is.
Piggy: I meant the TOP FA available — not Revis who is no longer the best CB in the league. The best player at his position – which many believe Suh is. Also, I do not think Suh is in the same league as Reggie White.
Lots of folks do though. The fact it’s at least arguable says something about how rare it is to have a shot at a player like Suh.
So whats your vision of what he needs to deliver to be worth it?
I hit the lotto, have a new harem of NLC’s with a waiting list a mile long.
I get injuries are part of the game but we faced an almost unprecedented amount of injuries last year. As I said both Johnson’s and Francis our entire depth at DT was gone, Fede was hurt for a while too. Misi played hurt and missed time all year, McCain got hurt. Ellerbee gone for the year. All of the guys Hickey brought in to change the late season swoon with the exception of Mitchell were gone – Moreno, Delmas and of course Albert. Corner after corner went down.
Call it excuses if you want but this team got ravaged by injuries last year.
fire the trainer!!! lol
Piggy, agree on your last post. The other day I called this offseason a “controlled explosion”… we are blowing things up, but it is more like blowing up a tall downtown building. 🙂

Never mind – I got my phone so I could watch the video. I think that’s what Suh sounds like when he gets close to the QB. lol

what be cool is if you used the alligator mating growl as your ringtone on your phone but then again I don’t know if that would be wise for you. I can imagine you getting on elevator with good looking chicks and then you calling yourself with the alligator mating sounds.
@AdamSchefter
Dallas now calling around for other RBs. Cowboys know they’ve lost DeMarco Murray to the Eagles.
Gigi,
Well, Reggie White was a DE while Suh is a DT.
I think Suh is very much as good as any HOF level DT i’ve seen play in my lifetime.
I meant as a proven leader/impact player I would not put Suh on the same level as Reggie White.
The Arizona Cardinals were ravaged by injuries last year — didn’t they make the playoffs? Just sayin.
lol @ gigi and jahn and the ‘hitting it’ reminded me of a couple sat’s ago
you have not lived till you give your son a grad party at your home and plan the party with your ex wife. where both sides of the family gather and party. only for the party to end at 4am cause your ex wife’s husband ‘hits it’ then on the way down for his face plants mumbles ‘call an ambulance’. i got the low down how my son needs better friends. even if the pot was never in my house and the ex followed them to their car as they were leaving.
the best part of the party is they plant his passed out ass in my sons room then his wife, my ex fucking leaves his ass there till the next day when she came back for him.
my words to my son after all the shenanigans……………………….I WIN
now THAT is a great “ex” story.
LOL…
Gigi, if you’re still online… I’ve been trying to get back home to Cali (Santa Maria) for 20 years…. your move has made me very jealous, and a little depressed. 🙂 um I mean.. 😦
Gotta come out to my brewery next time you’re in town. We broke ground on the build out today! Aiming for the summer.
Rhino,
Cameron is a better TE IMO and has the height to finish in the end zone.
Issue is clearly injuries at this point. He’s in worse shape than Clay.
As Jahn alluded to, the Fins know Clay’s injury history better than anyone else and their decision on whatever $ amount they are currently looking to offer most likely considers this risk.
Al, I think I concluded that I’d rather have Chandler than either Clay or Cameron. Thoughts?
At this point? Yea but Chandler isn’t an HBACK like Clay was so having him would be more like duplicating Dion Sims. Hey, in any case, Fins need a balanced line so if there are two solid TE out there, i’m all for that. The depth at TE for Miami has kinda sucked for years. Lynch may be that 2nd guy but for now he hasn’t proven anything on a NFL field.
I said this above, but I think you have to look at targets too (thanks for the thorough research btw!). Or effectiveness per game since Clay missed considerable time last season when I think he was primed to breakout.
I also think Chandler became a security blanket in Buffalo for bad QBs who were frequently under pressure…whereas Tannehill doesn’t fit the bad QB M.O. and still manages to find his other targets despite the pressure.
But your numbers were compelling, I have to admit.
Gigi,
White was a better cheap shot artist, I’ll give you that :P.
White wasn’t a high character guy; I’m sure the guys in the locker room respected his work and wanted to emulate his game but I doubt anybody would look up to him for anything else other than that.
Okay never heard that about him
Rhino: I was just about to leave — I loveeeeee it here!! The people are incredibly friendly, I love seeing mountains every day, it has been beautiful weather as well!! We could use lot of rain as there is a serious drought but it’s been the best move! Hope all is well with you and your family!!
LOL @ FFR w/story about the ex and the party — you did win!
Also, I will def be going to the San Diego game upcoming season – hopefully Jahn and anyone else here can make it too!
Gigi
I don;t know what you are basing your evaulation on Suh is
But he is as good as it gets
He is on track to the HOF
Players liek that don;t hit the market often
You want a limited set of facts to meet a certain conclusion?
I don;t think that is a reasonable basis to come to a conclusion
but I will give it a shot
when did the last team win a super bowl by bringing in the top free agent available
I will go with New Orleans and Drew Brees
the Broncos brought in Manning and went to the Super Bowl
The myth that you cannot bring in free agents and succeed is a myth
it is simply not true
and not supported by facts or logic
What difference does it make if reavis was the top free agent available or the 4th best?
If you get the 2nd best are you somehow positioned to win more than gettign the best?
The patriots paud Reavis 12M last season
They brought him in and he changed their defense
They were considering paying him 20M this season if they exercised their option
To be fair, just one season ebfore that the Bucs brought Reavis in, paid him a ton of $ and had much different results. In that case it was a trade, but that is irrelevent as far as I am concerned
If a team can bring in the best talent each offseason
and they don;t have their own guys of equal or better value to re-sign
why shouldn’t they?
The idea that free agency doesn;t work is almost superstition level illogical
I really wish people would stop saying it
You may as well tell me if I walk on my hands I will get to work faster because plenty of people who walk on their feet have been late
Gotta run BBL
Gotta head out myself. Cheers all!

it was a great party. i was sitting around talking to her dad. and then i hear her screaming my name bitching about something. she is just screaming and screaming my name. i just turned to her dad and asked ‘why the fuck is your daughter still yelling at me” he started laughing and said. yep she sure the fuck is.
then she finds me and just yells me “i need a raincoat”. i looked at her then her dad and thought “she did not just scream at me “i need a raincoat”. i just looked at her and as serious as i could said ‘it is in my bedroom’
wasn’t this an episode of Jersey Shore LOL

that i dont know. never seen that show. and quite embarrassed you have LOL.
and i knew what she was looking for. she was looking for her aunts raincoat which i had put on my bed. it was just funny how she was screaming my name and then found me and yelled ‘i need a raincoat’
actually never saw the show, but from the parodies on South Park I took a good guess. lol um wait, don’t let my students know I watch South Park.
“I love seeing mountains every day”
as a red blooded American male i can honestly say i second that thought
I certainly know what she means. The closest thing to a mountain in south Florida are the hills they have to create to make overpasses. That and of course the “trash mountains”.

awww thanks guys. but it was all him. now time for the little fucker to get a job and start taking care of me
Lovely mountains
You have now both titillated and pissed him off Jahn.
If the page is going to be slow, that’s what I want to see in slow motion. 🙂
Well played, sir.
yes they are tim. those are the kind of mountains that move nicely when there is vigorous action in the valley
LMAO!!!
Funny we have trash mountains. A friend worked in development near Weston (Griffin and 75) where houses were starting at 300k and had view of trash mountain and on some days had the smell of Mountain. Only in S.Florida.

I certainly know what she means. The closest thing to a mountain in south Florida are the hills they have to create to make overpasses. That and of course the “trash mountains”.

@AdamHBeasley: NEWS: The Dolphins are one of the teams that have contact the Eagles about Evan Mathis. Tannenbaum is not messing around.
Now that would be a HUGE fucking deal. Sounds like Dion may have a new home lol.
Reggie White, Deion Sanders, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees….all examples of FA pickups that definitely turned things around for their teams lol, in fact i think in each of their cases those teams ended up with Superbowl wins within a few years of the transaction. Not suggesting it will, but it can happen guys.
There’s your starting RG
@AdamHBeasley: NEWS: The Dolphins are one of the teams that have contact the Eagles about Evan Mathis. Tannenbaum is not messing around.
@ArmandoSalguero: New blog. The Dolphins and Eagles working on a trade for G Evan Mathis, per @AdamHBeasley:
http://t.co/c76Ja1gjUJ
Bet it includes Dion Jordan.
If it does then we would have to get draft compensation maybe a 2nd and they get our 3rd.
Also rumblings that we are a team that may trade for Kenny Stills.
Mathis has been rated by PFF as the #1 OG from 2011-2013
He was #2 in 2014 (he missed 7 games
and he is photogenic too
its eaxctly what we need before the draft
except I don;t want to give up Jordan
😦
I hear its for a mid round pick though, not a player
It will be interesting how this plays out.
D
for as many big name FA’s as you name there is twice as many failures.
simply put it is a big time gamble. only time will tell if it is a good one.
There were more to list, and yes i know, im not saying that he is the savior of our team, but im also not saying he is the yoke thats going to drag us down. Too many running to that latter conclusion.
Bob Baumhower is Evan Mathis’ uncle.
pretty cool
Remember I told you guys we got a new program and it SUCKS?
I just got a call from by boss, asking about payments in my close out report from 3/3. Mind you, this program does not enable the user to pull up a daily report, it doesn’t have that ability, so I have no way of knowing what customers came in that day, nothing to refer to. We send all checks, cash and credit receipts in an envelope every night. I have no records of anything here. So we figure out after going through the names on the receipts that one part of the payment was for a previous balance, and one was a deposit on a new order. The reason this happened was because it was “my fault”, because the program isn’t capable of entering a payment on an order with a balance, and now all orders must be paid in full. Do you believe this? The program isn’t set up to accept payments for a patients balance? Whoever picked this program needs to be shot and pissed on. What an embarrasment!
Obviously your fault…..
D
i dont get that. i dont see much of anyone saying he is going to bring the fins down. the worse i see is most are worried the gamble may backfire. i dont think anyone has said the fins will be losers next year cause of this.
as a matter of fact this move has been one of the very very few moves in recent years that i think as a group on here most have been in one way or another in agreement about. no one is really at anothers throat. it is about the only thing that hasnt divided this blog into two hateful opinions.
Do you skip over Boulder and Gigi’s posts? Their seems pretty heavily slanted towards the Suh signing being something that will keep us mediocre. I mean they keep saying basically the Suh deal boxed us in a caorner that our draft picks have to be perfect and we cant draft perfect lol. I dunno thats how it comes off to me.
Chip Kelly wants Jordan, and to get him to part with one of the best OG’s in the game, im pretty sure we gotta wave something tantalizing in his face. (Sorry FFR, they don’t want that waved in their face, put it back in your pants). Jordan makes the most sense to me, since we, they and the whole fing world knows he wants Ducks. We couldn’t get a lot for him in trade because he hasnt shown much, but i think we could work a trade including Jordan that didnt take a high level pick or perhaps no pick at all if we included Jordan. I don’t really like the idea of trading away young talent like that, but kinda depends on how badly you want Mathis. Our need for a OG of his caliber is pretty high, which means its going to come with a pretty high cost one way or the other.
Mathis is 33 so this would be another sign that this season is all about winning.
Bob Baumhower banged Sela Ward back in the day.
Sela Ward was in runaway Bride with Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts was in Flatliners with Kevin Bacon!!!!
I win!!!
‘Whoever picked this program needs to be shot and pised on. What an embarrasment!’
just like a fucking yankee to get it backwards.
mike, you piss on them first then shoot them.
(Sorry FFR, they don’t want that waved in their face, put it back in your pants)
that is so cute that you think it was ever in my pants to begin with.
“I dunno thats how it comes off to me.”
i think that says it all. it doesnt come off to me that way. if that is how they mean it then ok yeah, some hate the move. i just didnt take any of it that way
WTF Tim!
Alright- this probably need to be taken of the page, as it’s definitely NSFW
ITS IN MY CACHE!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL Yeah WTF@!
And what the Hell would you be looking for in the first place?
tim
wow. just wow. i agree. that is soooo sick to run over a dog. some people are sick.
@RapSheet: TE Jordan Cameron remains in Miami with a lot of mutual interest. Meanwhile his old team the #Browns & other other team are in the mix.
tim, make it stop, i cant take that poor dog anymore.
Try, I was looking for a funny stick figure gif and saw this. LOL
Well thats a stick figure gif alright….. and it stuck it to a few of the other stick figures.
Thus making it a Stick figure…..LOL
That does not explain how THIS came up in you search- wow.
Yeah it does. It came up with a funny stick figure gif search.
You said “funny”- there’s not much funny about that!
Apparently google thought so.
The Jets are really loading up their defense.
Yeah its going to be a tough defense. Good interior rush, solid CB’s pretty decent safeties. That will be a tough grind it out game for us next year.
If they land Mathis we should be able to run against the Jets and attack their LB’s in coverage. Landry gave Revis fits in NE…..Those games will be interesting.
Damn just noticed we have 6 Utah school players…5 from Utah, one Utah State.
Try, I typed funny and it came up.
JBB.
oh wait that was a funny gif.
sorry tim, i thought that was your rendition of what suh is going to do to brady

Not so fast on Evan Mathis? Dolphins say there’s no deal in the works. So pump the brakes.
Hear there are several teams in with offers, so whatever offer we make, if we make one, will have to be pretty sweet im sure.
Ian Wharton @NFLFilmStudy 2m2 minutes ago
Not looking like Evan Mathis will be traded to the Dolphins
Tim
