Q – Hey Mike E: Welcome to the 50th anniversary season of Your Miami Dolphins !!!
I love the way the FO went about their business this off season, adding the NDominant One , DE-Tooling the WR position , and the Nuggetts of LB they found as UDFA..
My question is regarding WR.. Kenny Stills has been quiet, and I believe hamstrung in PS.. I have read reports of Matthews passing him in the pecking order.. do you see him being a strong contributor this season, or a small time player ??
Tanx.
I’d be surprised if Kenny Stills isn’t a big part of our offense, at least as far as being on the field a lot. I don’t think in our offense we need to rely on any one player, but Stills should be starting, and getting opportunities. I believe that he and Greg Jennings, and Jarvis Landry will be on the field a lot in 3 and 4 WR sets. It will be a while before Devante Parker hits his stride here and is ready to steal a lot of reps from anyone, and depending on how Jennings and Stills play, Parker may never seriously eat into either of their reps if they’re both playing well.
There is no rush to get Parker on the field, unless the offense, particularly Jennings and/or Stills just aren’t getting it done, and like you mentioned, I think the veteran Rishard Matthews would get more reps early if that happened. The one thing Matthews has in his back pocket, is the fact that QB Ryan Tannehill likes him. That means a lot, and will definitely keep him him on the roster as long as he remains in Tannehill’s favor.

Q – Toughest Q I can think of — Which WR on this team gets the most fantasy points this year?
That’s the combination of most yards and TDs (standard league — six points per TD and one point for every 10 yards).
stanger
I’d have to say that it will be Jarvis Landry. I think he’s going to see a lot of touches as he always seems to find a way to get open, and he’s a very sure handed receiver. I also think he’s the one constant in the lineup, whereas the other guys will be in and out, specifically if/when Parker is healthy and ready to go, he may sub in occasionally for both Stills and Jennings.
If Parker wasn’t injured and had a full training camp, my answer may have been different, but I expect another big year from Landry. He and Tanny have a good chemistry, and Landry is a sure handed 3rd down target who always fights for extra yards, and will convert those 3rd downs to first down. I think there’s an outside chance that Jennings does it, maybe he has more in the tank than most people think. He’s a savvy vet who’s always been a precise route runner and has always possessed great hands, so he’d be my second choice.

Q -Hey Axe Mike,
What rookies do you see making an immediate impact, playing the most, and why, including those on Special Teams & the UDFA’s.
Thanks,
GetterDone Phins!
I’ll go in order of which players I see making the most impact. If it’s true, that Jamil Douglas will be the starting RG, that certainly puts him in a good position to make an impact. It remains to be seen as to whether he stays there, and earns his playing time, but for now, he appears to have a leg up on 2nd year man Billy Turner.
It’s funny, if you had asked me this question right after the draft, my answer would have been Jay Ajayi, or Devante Parker. Both have missed substantial practice time, and for a rookie, that’s a bad thing. Both of those players have a chance, more Likely Parker than Ajayi at the moment, because Ajayi has to get healthy and make the roster.
After the surprise hammer fell on Brandon Fields, Matt Dar is also in place to make a big impact. If he can be as good as Fields used to be for the Miami Dolphins, not the Fields of last year, he can be big for our team, and help us win the “Fields” position battle.
On defense, Jordan Phillips will be in the D-line rotation, although he’s behind 2 pretty damn good players, Ndamukong Suh, and Earl Mitchell, so his reps will have to be well earned. Zach Vigil is another guy who I think may make an impact. If Chris McCain doesn’t start balling, I think it’s possible that Kelvin Sheppard starts at MLB, with Misi sliding back into the SLB position. Vigil will be backing up at both MLB and SLB, and if he continues to show well, I think Vigil is a guy we may see on the field a lot, both on ST’s and at LB.
Some of the rookies I hope make the team are CB Tony Lippett and S Cedric Thompson. I think good ol’ Bobby McCain will be on the roster, but Ced and Tony are more on the bubble. I think Lippett could be a real impact player if he really takes to learning his craft as a CB, and may really help us next year.

Q – Who’s your break out player on offense and defense and why?
Also what’s your favorite shoe?
Thanks you!
I think Dion Sims can have a real good season. I expect him to be on the field a lot this year, but I’m not sure if he’ll really have a lot more than the 24 catches he had last season. He may make his impact in-line blocking as a TE, and helping our RB’s get some clear running lanes. Another I think may have a bigger season than some expect is Greg Jennings. He’s a solid vet, and I know most think he’s past his prime, but if needed, I think he can make a nice contribution to our team, although I’m not sure if you would consider it a “breakout” season or not, maybe breaking out of a retirement home, or something like that.
On defense, I’d love to see Jamar Taylor finally break out. Hopefully he can shrug off the injuries, and get down to playing some good CB for us, and finally show us what he’s capable of. That INT against the Falcons was played perfectly, and I hope to see more of those in the regular season.
As far as shoes goes, in my “Saturday Night Fever” days, no Brooklyn guy who went clubbing (dancing) didn’t have a nice pair of Capezios. Those days are over though, and I prefer a good pair of Sperry Topsiders, or an equivalent shoe like that.

Q – After 3 preseason games what do you think is the biggest weakness on the
Dolphins?
– Pigsgerald
I’d say, as it will be be for many NFL teams, the depth after our starters. Our 2nd and 3rd team players, and especially the guys who will not make the 53 man roster have struggled big time.
But . . .
When we go up against the better defenses, like our division rival Bills and Jets, I do fear how our O-line will fare. We’ve played 2 weak defenses so far, but when we play a team a serious front 7, and Albert isn’t either at 100%, or even in the lineup, and we have Fox or Thomas at LT, and then Thomas at LG (with Fox at LT), maybe Pouncey isn’t 100%, and then rookie Jamil Douglas at RG, and solid 2nd year man Ju’Wuan James at RT, it could get ugly . . . FAST! We haven’t seen the O-line struggle, or even falter really, but i that’s partly due to the level of defensive opponents we’ve faced. If we played STL, or ARZ, or HOU or BUF or NYJ, I think we would have seen more weaknesses on the O-line.
For now though, to answer your question more accurately, I’d say the depth in the secondary has been pretty awful.

Q – I don’t think CJ Mosely makes the 53 and we go young ( Seems to be the theme ).
What are your thoughts on the DT Spots?
Suh
Mitchell
Phillips
?
??
I’m not sure Wyo. I think there’s a pretty good chance Mosley sticks. I think Mosley makes it over AJ Francis and Deandre Coleman. I think it comes down to how many DT’s we carry. Suh and Mitchell are the starters, with Anthony Johnson and Jordan Phillips as 2nd team. If we carry 4, Mosley is gone, but if we carry 5, I think Mosley is in. I think Anthony Johnson has too much talent to let him go.
______________________________________________
from O Rob
Q – Mike, what are the chances Josh Freeman unseats Matt Moore?
I don’t see that happening Rob. I thought when we first signed Freeman there was a decent chance that it could happen, but watching Freeman in the Preseason games, he’s been pretty awful. Not that Matt Moore has been stellar, but you know what Matt Moore gives you as a Dolphins QB, whereas Freeman doesn’t know the offense as well, and still looks shaky back there. Freeman has completed less that 40% of his passes, though both QB’s have only 1 TD against 2 INT’s.
My best guess Rob is that we go with the known quantity, which is Moore. If Freeman made a little noise in the Preseason, and actually outplayed Moore, I would say he had a shot, but that just hasn’t happened. Freeman may have one more shot, but I think it’s going to be Moore.
______________________________________________
And now for the babe of the week . . .
Finsmob Unleashed 
S Jerod Hollimon got cut so I guess his drastic fall down the draft was spot on. The WR Damian Williams got cut, so I guess we kept the right Damien Williams.
Dreamius Smith got cut. No wonder with a name like that.
Dylan Thompson got cut in case we want a PS QB instead of MBT.
Too bad our punter is not named Beans then we could have Franks and Beans as our kicking combo
good one
Isaako Aaitui got cut again. I would rather have AJ Francis.
Well I have (obviously) scoured the cuts list as it is so far, and I do not see a single player who is better than our 53 as is. Not that I know everybody, but still.
Especially I do not see a TE who is even close to usable.
There are a few teams whose cuts are not posted yet.

Wow a lot of surprise cuts for me but not mind blowing. Interesting though. I missed on a bunch of players but I had the breakdown – heavy defense 27-23.

FAU and TULSA tied at 41-41 heading into O.T. –Think I’m gonna be sick!!!
Toba,
If I did fantasy footbal I would join. I just don’t like rooting for players on other teams. I played FF for two years, and never drafted any AFC East player, because I didn’t want them to do well. Plus, I would sit any of my players who were facing the Dolphins that week, so my loyalty often resulted in a loss.
I understand the dilemma.
‘oh hey. havent talked to you in a long time. let me call you in the middle of a football game’
reason #23 to not answer your phone
i wonder if those old fucking hags in the volks wagon commercials can put brent fagsburger in their trunk before they drive off a cliff. i forgot how much i hate that fucker.
The 14th penalty against FAU was the killer! FAU was 2nd and goal from the 1. But a mysterious 5-yard penalty moved the ball back and FAU had to settle for 3!! While Tulsa has a good team and may have deserved to win, I’ll always believe the 4-5 “mystery penalties” against FAU were the difference in the game. NOW I AM GONNA GET SICK!!
All right
Vote on Piggy’s Saturday night
I have 2 options for bars
One right undery hotel
Cool place
I was there for about 30 mins and talked to a dozen different people
There is a group of FSU alum there waiting for the game
Beer/liquor is cheap – but not very good
Th one negative: the hotel manager is at the bar
And he is a creep. I think he BillCosbies some one every weekend
Definately a man of questionable morals
I don’t want to be near him
Plus I’m hungry and you have to eat on the docks (seating sucks ) to get food
The other bar is a big bar
I was there
Lots of girls – questionable morals on most if them
But cold as ice
Clubby atmospsphere
I didn’t talk to one person when there
I’m a little a shy (piggy giggles)
Pick a bar
Bar 1 – friendly but weirdos are there
Bar 2 – not friendly but doesn’t matter to whores who are there
FYI
The hotel I’m staying in is a shithole
I mean an actual shithole
Therw are few options on fire island for hotels
The hotel I’m at has like 8 room
It’s European style
Which means all 8 rooms share 2 bathroom
When I arrive there was an unapologetic dead roach on the sink
He was like “I don’t care, I’m gonna die right here and ruin your weekend”
What a dick
piggy,
sounds like your best chance is the creepy hotel manager. just before he cosby’s you warn him you are a pig and you have 30minute orgasms.
And herpes
wow, i think the fsu game is like the 4th game today that has gone into lightning delay
Piggy: just ask the creeper if he d like to go whitewater rafting.
LMAO
piggy,
just keep a bunch of pudding pops in your pocket
Piggy:
Also go to the bar that has the whores
Lol @your recommendations
Too late
I’m going to both mofos!!!
(Piggy throws his pants in the hall)
I’m pretty sad to see gills go. Lamike I guess just had more versatility in special teams. I also saw a few guys out there u would love for us to grab like Barrett Jones, jaylen Watkins, wes Saxton, and Xavier grimble
Once we drafted Ajayai you had to figure Gils was done
Actually I’m staying at the first bar
The atmosphere changed a bit
But where are the whores?
At the first bar
Explains a lot right?
That’s a bingo
https://twitter.com/_happy_gilmore/status/640295028800274432
I thought I was the only drunk person out
But the more I speak with people …well..
Let’s just say most conversations start with the phrase
“I’ve been drinking all day”
Chip Kelly is trying to pull a fast one, he said Tebow wasn’t good enough to be a 3rd string QB. He wants to bring him back later, but doesn’t want anyone signing him.
I was hoping we’d only keep 2 TEs, Stoneburner was a scrub and Seimisch wasn’t ready, because if you need another TE to block just use a friggin’ back up OL, and neither one of these guys was going to get any action catching the ball.
I mentioned yesterday that Franks was going to win the kicking job, because he played the entire game against the Bucs, if they were going to cut him, he wouldn’t have played much, so no surprise there.
I don’t like LaMike at all and I do like Gillislee, so that was disappointing.
McClendon over Brenner was kind of a shock, I did hear some good things about him a couple of weeks ago, but nothing lately, so I assumed Brenner was going to make it, but no love lost there.
I was surprised they let Ced Thompson go for Kovacs, but Ced couldn’t get out of his own way in the preseason, so let the better man win.
I don’t know WTF anyone sees in Zach Bowman, he plays a loose coverage and never seems to be in the right spot.
A little surprised to see Hewitt make it over Hull, because I never heard Hewitt’s name except the fumble to win against Atl. I expect Hull on the PS, if no one signs him.
The jets cut Arthur Lynch, I hope he didn’t give up any trade secrets.
The Steelers GM refused a BJ twice 😉
AFC North
Pittsburgh Steelers: RB Jawon Chisholm, RB Josh Harris, DL Matt Conrath, DL Ethan Hemer, DL Mike Thornton, S Jordan Dangerfield, S Alden Darby, S Gerod Holliman, OL Reese Dimsmukes, OL B.J. Finney, OL Doug Legursky, CB Kevin Fogg, CB B.J. Finney, LB L.J. Fort, LB Shayon Green, LB Howard Jones, WR Shakim Phillips, WR Jarrod West.
Cuts
Detroit Lions: TE Joseph Fauria
There’s our 3rd TE, cut Bowman.
Along with Kellen Moore, the Lions waived tight end Joseph Fauria today.
Fauria, like Moore, signed as an undrafted free agent in 2012 and became a fan favorite after scoring seven touchdowns his rookie season.
He missed most of last year with a severe ankle injury he said he suffered while chasing his peeing dog down the stairs. The Lions were never fully satisfied with his explanation of how the injury occurred, and traded for Tim Wright to be their No. 3 tight end this week.
I would cut Bowman and kept ced on the 53 personally.
Def would ha e kept Gills over lamike. And probably would have kept Tripp over Hewitt. Even though I like sturgis I can see that decision sorta kinda.
Sturgis was inconsistent and his kick-off were weak, he was beaten out by the booming kickoffs by Franks.
I agree on Bowman- he looked terrible in the preseason
Mornin’.
We definitely should take a look at S Gerod Holliman!
I like Fouria in the draft! But he hasn’t done shit in 2 years!
Slim pickens on the waiver wire!!!!!!!!!!!
Yesterday is cancelled; Some mornings my computer wont come on. When that happens I need to unplug everything and let it sit all day. with yesterday being Saturday I had work, then mow the lawn and Jam my music all evening so I never got around to plugging it back in…
I am not scrolling through 5000 posts for 1 score so I will just pick up where I left off the night before…

When asked about the difference in this yrs team, Nat Moore said that’s exactly it TEAM, they play as a team, they hand out together, they coach each other up…That’s what I’ve been saying for the last 4 yrs, Ireland didn’t put together a team, he didn’t build a functional on field team, nor did he build an off the field team.
Wyo
I really wanted Holliman, but there seems to be a desire problem with that kid. He obviously has talent, but it looks like he doesn’t want to work hard to get better, especially at things like tackling.
Do we know the winner for the Roster Pick?

Would like I bring in jaylen Watkins for sure. Holliman probably wouldn’t be bad but I’d rather keep ced on PS. Barrett Jones for a Swiss army knife IL guy. And there are a couple TE prospects I like better than any we cut in Xavier grimble or wes saxton
For PS I’m only looking for better than we cut. Otherwise I’d rather just keep the one we put some time in with. Like holliman, I like him but not more than ced. I think ced will wind up better overall for our system.
My guess is Hewitt made it because of STs and possibly nickel LB duties at times. Bowman likely made it do to versatility, he can play safety too. I didn’t see it from LaMike James but he’s going to get a shot at being the main return man. It will be interesting to see if we churn it a just a little bit more with the waiver wire.

—————————
Sounds like Philbin’s type of team. He likes adults, not divas.
if not this year then when?
Next year or the one after. Base of this team is young and we now have a QB ready for prime time, hopefully.
Herd,
Unofficially 3 people had 47 correct picks. mike e,rock and naples fan. I’m going to do an official count tomorrow and double check the numbers 🙂
WELL I WOKE UP TODAY, walked the dogs about 7 AM, thought about last night’s FAU-Tulsa game (which was STOLEN by poor officiating) and did the only thing I could do. – – I went BACK TO SLEEP!!! – – Mrs. OD got me up about 9:30. I made some breakfast, played with all 3 of our dogs, hugged the wife, and got myself ready to MOW THE LAWN in 88 degree heat. Will try to SWEAT AWAY THE BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH while my wife goes to church and prays for her heathen husband. MAY watch Herd’s Marshal team beat Purdue today and hope that the SAME CREW that officiated the FAU-Tulsa game is NOT assigned to this game. GOOO-O-O Herd!!
Fins now favored by 3 vs. Washington after opening as a 1-point favorite. Sounds like Vegas is not totally sold on the Dolphins. Might be an opportunity here for Miami fans to make some $$$$$
I only got 44 correct. But I did have the heavy defense 27-23 for now. 😉
So this is the breakdown at the moment.
OL 9
TE 2
WR 6
QB 2
RB 4
DL 9
LB 7
DB 11
K 1
P 1
LS 1
They need another TE.,,,guessing that comes out of the 11 DBs.

Omar Kelly @OmarKelly 2m2 minutes ago
Young players will be informed if they have been claimed at noon today. Those who haven’t been claimed will begin negotiating PS deals.
From the Herald link from Wyoming:
“For Miami, one of the greatest things is they’ve had a quiet preseason – no controversies whatsoever. DeVante Parker is going to be a very special receiver for them. Lamar Miller gives them some balance. Defensively, they have a chance to be very special.”
Cowher might be thinking……”Man I should have taken that job.”
Thanks OD! It s the debut of a new QB for the first time in 4 years. I’m a bit nervous!
Maybe if I keep up this year when the season is over I will play too..
Problem is I really dont pay much attention to the College game since the Canes of the ’80s I pretty much just go with whoever everyone is talking about

Miami Dolphins claiming players off waivers? http://ift.tt/1EKigot
Media darlings?
I want every player on the team to have a quote from the media on them when we win the FIRST play-off game!
Throw it back in all their faces in every interview!!!!!!! 🙂
I hope that happens this year (win playoff game). Its about time for us. Go Phins!
Not IF—WHEN!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t get it Wyoming, the media seems to love us, so how do we throw it in their face after we win a playoff game? There’s always going to be a guy that really isn’t following things to say something bad. Every yr one or two say this is the yr NE is going to lose their hold on the AFC East…I’m pretty sure they don’t give a rats ass what some schmuck is saying.
If that’s the motivation our players need to win they aren’t going anywhere.
This is from saban. Let me sign? Not signing drew breez was his decision no?
“Nick Saban: I might still be in Miami if they let me sign Drew Brees”
I read that earlier. So let me get this straight: The assinine, control freak Saban (who micromanaged all of the coaching staff) wasn’t allowed to select the QB he wanted? I call bullshit.
If in fact the team doctor told the team Brees wouldn’t recover, then what’s he supposed to do? If you don’t follow the advice of the doctors why even ask them?
I don’t get why everyone is so anit-Saban, he was asked about coaching Alabama and he said no he wasn’t going to Alabama, but all he was trying to do was finish the season in Miami without distraction the media put on him/team. When the season was over he evaluated the situation and went to Alabama. What was he supposed to do tell everyone he was going to Alabama before the season was over?
he gave up on us too quickly. That’s why I’m mad. He came here to turn our team around and after 2 seasons he gave up.
But I hear he was having family issues in Miami. If that’s the case then you have to do what’s best for your family. O
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley 1m1 minute ago
Dolphins have claimed Logan Thomas.
Somewhere, M13 is smiling.
Probably somewhere in Rowan county….
I liked him in College and I liked him this yr in the preseason with the Cards, but I really don’t want him on the 53, practice squad would be great, and let him beat out Moore next yr.
I wonder if moore is gone. That would not be too smart IMO.
Will Davis had two interceptions in the fourth preseason game.
Yes, it was the fourth preseason game. The one that “doesn’t matter.”
But the quarterback who threw those two interceptions (Glennon) has a better career passer rating than every single quarterback we play in the first six games.
And then we play the Jets and Bills again. So that’s half the season against QBs with worse passer ratings than Mike Glennon.
What did I miss yesterday, is Sturgis gone?
yup. He’s gone.
Well the team Doctor is a Quack!
But would we have had the Success of the Saints had Brees come here?
Thanks Boulder
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly 50s50 seconds ago
Sam Brenner has been re-signed to the Dolphins’ practice squad. He had multiple offers, but no claims.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly now13 seconds ago
Dolphins 5th rd pick Cedric Thompson re-signed to the practice squad. I believe in the young man. I see upside.
I like both Ced and Brenner on the PS, Ced was just too raw to put on the 53, I hope no one steals him from us.
OK, two of the guys I had making the 53 are back on the PS. What is the tie breaker for our three way split?
700 players are unemployed today. It’s kind of sad. So may guys dreams will be crushed this week and UPS & Walgreens just picked up a bunch of employees
Adam Beasley @AdamHBeasley
So if the Dolphins did indeed sign Semisch and Stoneburner to their practice squad, they can get away with just two tight ends on 53.
There is one more that I had on the 53
Tim Semisch @Semisch88
Happy to Announce that I will be staying in South Florida as a Member of the Miami Dolphins Practice Squad!
I wonder if we want those 6’6 & 6’7 LBs to block xtra point attempts form the 33.
I see a Ted Hendricks type of potential.
Your avi wins all tiebreakers Rock. No one can beat that ass.
UPDATE: there is rumblings that the Dolphins may be looking at Thomas as tight-end prospect. This will be something to monitor come practices.
I’d be ok with that but he is not a nfl safe qb
These lists always surprise me- I expected Ireland to represent ppb the good side, but the bad side.. Let me just say, Mike E, Piggy, Ken, Brian.. All represent the NE with courtesy and respect… https://www.yahoo.com/travel/worlds-friendliest-and-unfriendliest-cities-128290239402.html
Latest stuff of Saban saying it wasn’t up to him makes me dislike him even more. Basically Nick takes no responsibly for how bad he left the dolphins talent wise.
What if he’s telling the truth? Why would he lie about something like that now?
Ocala,
Payton was not in Miami so probably not (high success of Brees) but Miami would have had a stable QB.
So hungover…
Have a bloody Mary 😀
Any word on the LB making the PS? Hope at least 2 of Hull/Tripp/Luc decide to stay

so if we really have signed Logan Thomas, then must he be put on the 53 or can he go to the PS? I know in the regular season if you poach a guy, he has to be put on the 53 for 3 games, but not sure if these cut guys count like that as they are not on anybody’s team right now. I would hate to lose one of those 53 for such a shaky player as him.
now that we mostly have our team selected, I have to admit that I am predicting us to go 14-2.
I think we will lose to either Philly or Dallas and one other, not necessarily NE, could be them or Buffalo or Houston or Ravens … at least one “stumble” is inevitable, but I am predicting two but which two is impossible to say.
I do not think that any team on our schedule is actually clearly better than we are this year.
Can I have a sip of that? I am an admitted homer and I can only come up with 12 wins. LOL GO DOLPHINS! I hope you are right
To those who say that is crazy I say, “Name one team that we play who is clearly better than us on paper.” Can’t do it. We are not good enough to go undefeated, but Houston, Dallas, Philly, Ravens, patsies*, Bills, they all have just as big question marks as we do.
IT IS ALMOST HERE! JUST 165 more hours!
In gonna sit in front of my tv until then
Come’on Dan…….don’t feed us to the media. And problem is given the schedule our record will start strong.
Wanna start with I absolutely hate the whole slideshow format that has become up more and more. Figure it is just a way to get more clicks. But if I was going to watch one…..this would be it. She even protects the little thing after killing the mom.

I hate the slideshows too
I feel like I’m reading a kiddie book
Notably this slideshow was missing the final slide where a pig comes down from the trees and unites the baboons and lions
LOL — I sorta thought just above the pic frame was a flying pic saying, “do the right thing.” 🙂
just put thomas in and go for 2 after every score; he can run it in or pass it, INTs are not such a huge prob in that case, save wear and tear on Tannehill and no risk on the PAT.
i know i am in danger of jinxin’ us today, but i swear we could beat DC 35-0 if all the breaks go our way.
I got madden 16 for xbox one
This is probably the fort dolphins team on madden where I was not thinking about what I needed to add to the team
They make the dolphins pretty good
Damn so he is required to miss 6 games? Should’ve kept Gills.
they stashed him for the end of the season. He will have fresh legs for the second 1/2 of the season and they had to make room for the new QB/TE I guess…?
So is Ajayi’s roster spot going to go to Logan Thomas?
at least for 3 weeks, then Miami can cut / sigh Thomas to the PS and steal someone from another practice squad and do it again before Ajayi has to come back.
Yep

Seems Nick only cares about a positive legacy. Why does he even bother talking about Miami anymore. Culpepper had an injury as well but a rotator cuff injury is deemed more risky than a knee one and that’s the route Miami went. To blame doctors is silly. You think the Saints doctors didn’t find the same conclusion? My opinion is yes. The medical profession is pretty homogenous in these areas of analysis. Anyway, This is the same Saban that took Jason Allen and also walked over a player having a seizure…
Stanger that lion is just a rancher. He’s raising livestock to slaughtering size. Baboo-veal is a delicacy.
Lol
I like how they say the lion was playing with the baboon
That’s actually called tenderizing
We only dress 46 so if every one stays healthy you can play that game am get better developmental talent at the bottom of your roster.
