We have an awful lot of time between now and the start of the season, and considering we haven’t seen anything in the way of actual football activities, why not come up with a possible depth chart with nothing to go on? We spend hours upon hours on potential draft picks, so now that we have some players on the roster, might as well throw them on a depth chart for fun! This is how I believe we may start the season, it’s understood more players will be added and subtracted by then . . .

Lots of things can change from now until the start of the season, but you have to start somewhere. Feel free to pick it apart, this is what I see as possible for now. It gives us something else to talk about at the very least
- Signed 1YR contract 5/9
#staythecourse
Finsmob Unleashed 
Jordan Mills OT
Height: 6-5
Weight: 316
Age: 28
Louisiana Tech
And he started for them the last 2 years.
Seems we have a compete RT and probably are gonna call it a day on them.
I know most of you don’t like the tank narrative and “hope” for the best this season, but I am looking at it a little different. Grier and Flores basically get a mulligan year this first season so I am hoping that our picks next draft are as high as possible.
I mean in my memory as a fan we have only picked #1 or #2 twice both in “bad” drafts. We got “the cornerstone LT for the next decade” who lasted 4 years with us and Ronnie Brown….
You don’t get very many opportunities to draft that high without giving up all your draft picks. I am hoping for “easy” pickens of an “elite” player next draft. It’s the only opportunity that the GM and HC will be forgiven.
The trade up to #3 for DFF was great value but a total bust of a player. You don’t get to trade up that high for “only a 2nd”
I know that good teams find players at the bottom of the rounds all the time, but you don’t get a shot at elite unless you give up picks or are really bad. I want elite.
But if we pick #1 or #2 will mean the team sucked. Will also mean Flores and his new schemes aren’t working too well.
I feel very much the same way. I’d rather be 4-12 and have the 2nd or 3rd pick than win 6 games and pick 11th or 12th. I think we can cash in on that pick big time. On the other hand, if we’re competitive and win 8 or more games, I’m OK with that too. If we’re that good right away, I would think after next years draft and FA we’d be ready to really compete
I have to agree with those saying we are not worse off roster wise. Right now, our OL is no worse than last years and may prove to be better with the addition of Deiter as long as everyone else stays healthy. We added some really good draft picks and not to mention some UDFA’s with huge upside. OG Deion Calhoun, WR Preston Williams and LB Terrill Hanks all had at least a 5th round grade. I will guarantee you one of these 3 will end up being a steal.
Our OL had Josh Sitton and James on opening day. I think that line is better than the current one, but you may have a point after Sitton and Kilgore went down.
Stanger, yeah, I am referring to what we played most of the season with and not what we started with. Now, with the addition of Mills, makes me feel a little better going into TC.
Feel better at RT as well, but was actually expecting a bit more than that. Injuries do happen though. Do like that the team is looking both deep (mostly) and young. Those help on those.
So just an observation i have had recently. I have actually taken the time to read comments made to articles written on places like Phinsider, but the more i read them the more i appreciate both the candor in which we talk with one another and respect we show fr one another, as well as the actual football knowledge we have here. Most those people commenting on those other places are fucking morons.
That’s nice to hear. I think we have a pretty cool, knowledgeable group here.
Seems the signing made clear Deiter at G. And maybe Davis too. Not talking starters…. just where they will compete.
I just looked at the post above about Pat Flaherty and my brain saw it as Flat Parity. Fitting name for the NFL
Rock,
being a “beast” on the o line has nothing to do with size. you watch the way a guy plays and when he’s the one dishing out the punishment on run plays he’s a beast. we’ve got ’em.
the Miami Dolphins are going to have a complete offensive line and solid depth for the first time in years. How refreshing is that?
70% of how good you are is footwork, the rest is technique, specifically body lean, setting your anchor, and getting your hands under your opponent so you can win leverage. Physical traits help you not have to be perfect with these things all the time because you can make up for a screw up here or there just because of your physical size, strength or speed.
——————
Seems the FB position may be coming back in style.
I think the FB position is probably getting a little more love recently but its still not the old school FB position, so i dont think its coming back in style as much as they have finally figured out how to modernize it and bring it back to usefulness.
Bellore was a linebacker in college and most of his NFL career.
I’m just so amused by how many people think that if an offensive lineman isn’t drafted in the first two rounds he must suck.
Wow on Telvin Smith. Agree with him he should get everything in order in his life, that’s what is most important.
What’s he going through?
No idea, but that’s his business.
Oh I thought maybe it was publicly known.
This is fascinating to me, and worth your time if ya dig recent QB trends, college coaches, and their ‘trees’, if you will. And it’s funny… CASE KEENUM seems to be the one that much of this is linked to.
Case Keenum will have hung up his cleats for 20 years and M13 will still be beating the drum for him. Most husbands would like to have half the devotion from their wives as you have for Keenum dude lol.
Is Telvin Smith sitting out, or did he get injured or something and is having to rehab for the season?
he was looking at being suspended at the beginning of the season and he and the team knew that would be the case. but, who knows why he would choose to sit out the entire season

LMAO!!! 😆
I’ll take that compliment! 😀
I’m his agent, ya know! 😉
If this new staff can keep the OL from getting riddled with injuries, I’ll consider that a successful season regardless of record.
Yeah it would be nice to have an OL with the same 5 out there for more than 4-5 games.
How does a staff prevent injuries?

Not really Mike!! Sparano was 11-5 his first season, Gase 10-6
FOOLS GOLD!
We had a pretty good veteran roster, Ronnie Brown, Ricky Williams, Chad Pennington, Joey Porter (had his one very good season for us). We also unleashed the Wildcat as you well know. We’re a very young team, it’s not going to be the same.
I think its because of how we built things under those guys. We didnt start over with a strong foundation, we started throwing up a new building on the shit that was already unstable, so thats really on us for not doing things the right way. If we happen to do better than expected this year i think it will actually be a more positive sign than fools gold, this time. I have no preference on record, if we are 8-8 and i feel good about the team at the end of the year its not going to disappoint me. Would i love a lower draft pick, sure, but i dont want to put a damper on team pride knowing that we didnt play to win every game.
I’m probably gonna show how out of touch I am, but what does “New Bae” mean? Am guessing includes Rosen is Omar’s new Tanny before he takes a snap for us though.
Yes New Bae is Omar’s name for Rosen just like Sho’nuff was for Tannehill.
New boyfriend or girlfriend, could be either, so not sure which one Omar is using.
Thanks — not sure how that fits, but sounds like he is gonna join Rock’s new club. 🙂
Either way the guy should have enough class to refer to him by his name or at very least the position he plays for us.
Omar doesn’t have that kind of class. Remember “#55”?
Yeah just call him by his name like everyone else.
————-
SIGN BLAIR BROWN!!!
Unless he’s injured or got into some kind of trouble, I see no reason not to sign Blair Brown. Can’t believe he got waived.
What’s so special about Blair Brown? JAX waived him with Telvin Smith out for the season
It would be a low risk signing, but he seemingly regressed pretty significantly last year. played in 15 games but only recorded 2 tackles. I dunno what situations they put him in in those games, though.
I absolutely agree that Brown would be a low-risk signing.
I seriously dont know how the Sun Sentinel doesn’t have better options than that clown.
I recall Omar going after Kevin Burnett in his writes, then Burnett stepping up to Omar in the locker room saying something to the effect of, “PUT SOME PADS ON!!!”.
Maybe it’s just me, but I wouldn’t funk with Burnett, who was born and raised straight outta Inglewood.
I’m pretty sure that Omar had to change his shorts after that confrontation with Burnett.
This Omar thing has gotten to the point of being grounds for dismissal.
Can you imagine the NATIONAL outcry that would ensue if a white beat reporter said,
“The Ravens are opening OTAs with the cute Chimp @ QB1 of course.”
Why is no one calling Omar out for racism?
PLEASE NO ONE REPOST MY FAKE QUOTE,
as I am ashamed to have even typed it, but
Omar’s racism is just wrong.
I don’t know that it’s racist but why does Rosen have to have that silly nickname?
(Piggy collapses)
Why?
I was doing a trial all day today Tim
Flaherty would rather Deiter focus on just one spot as he begins his NFL career.
“We’ll get him settled in one position,” Flaherty said. “Where that is right now, we’ll kind of meet on that tonight, see where we’re going to start him. I would assume it’s going to be one of the guard spots. You don’t want to move a young guy around too quick because he doesn’t learn the one position. As he feels that he knows what he’s doing in one position we’ll work him at other positions, be versatile.”
I am really opposed to training all the linemen in all the spots.
There’s muscle memory and focus and gettin reps and all
that is more important than position flexibility.
It’s ok to have a swing man, but that should be a vet,
and the number of positions each back-up is ready for should be like 2.
So there ya have it, from Adam Caplan himself… it’s hard to believe that Jax cut Blair Brown.
I looked at his stats and he hasn’t been productive.
https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/andy-cohen-chad-o-shea-s-journey-comes-full-circle
Intersting. I did not know that our new OC lived in Miami as a kid and was a QB for U of Houston.
I didn’t realize that, either… interesting. If you have the time, go check out the Youtube video I posted at 3:46 PM earlier. I wonder if there’s a link between Chad O’Shea and the coaches/QBs/systems that were talked about…
And I can all but guarantee something… had Case Keenum been outright cut by the Broncos (instead of traded to the Redskins), we would likely have signed him over Ryan Fitzpatrick.
The ‘Air Raid’ is making a comeback… much to the delight of Don Coryell (RIP).
Bae is being used to mean Rosen is a little bitch. One only calls one’s intimate romantic interest bae. To use the term for one male by another is a signifier. The designation is being used to make Rosen sound soft and unmanly. Leading the term with New relates back to Tannehill. Ryan was the old bae, Omar seems to be saying, and Rosen is the new bae. Out with one wuss and in with another. As if only blacks are real men. Omar would have never called Bridgewater New Bae if he had been signed. Omar is saying Rosen is a little pet, a lap dog.
Yeah I think it’s condescending.

I know… I’ve seen his stats as well. Perhaps he’s been under-utilized? Just because a player showed up on the field nearly every game, does NOT mean he saw major playing time. Could be that he was a ‘pinch-hitter’ of sorts, as starters either got winded or the game was clinched. Ya know: garbage time.
Blair Brown IS a very good football player, which is why I can’t believe (especially after the Telvin Smith announcement today) he got cut. And clearly, Adam Caplan feels the same way.
I say bring him in, to compete as part of our 90-man roster. But something tells me there’s more than meets the eye here… like he’s in trouble of sorts. We’ll see…
And by “trouble”, I’d include injury… not just off the field stuff.
Yeah not sure.

I thought you were a fan of Blair Brown during the Draft process. There were two prospects that you and I were quite fond of: Blair Brown and Dion Dawkins, no?
I guess you have me confused with someone else. I have nothing against him, but I never wanted him here. Dion Dawkins, Haason Redick and Takk. Those were the guys I liked
Omar is a joke. Someone brought up class, and that is it exactly what is lacking in that douche. It’s shock-jock stuff. Even if his paper is ok with it, it’s just disrespectful only for the sake of being disrespectful. It literally accomplishes nothing other than to rile some people up and to puff up his own self-importance.
I remember this name thing started with Misi, because, as Omar put it, Misi hadn’t earned Omar’s respect yet. It’s so smug, condescending, and pathetic. Henceforth I shall only refer to Omar as the braided coconut. Best thing Home ever contributed, lol
^
The other thing I’d like to remind y’all of is this: Blair Brown came from the University of Ohio. Yeah, smaller school. I don’t think ANYBODY thought he’d be an instantaneous hit in the NFL… that’s just how it goes with smaller school players.
He’s probably just now hitting on all cylinders in year 3… which makes his cut all the more bizarre. Again, we’ll see…
cool I like that . Get ‘er done. Get on with football.
So Deiter is the only draftee not signed yet?
MF13
Wow that was quite a clip. Thanks!!
I think that is being run in several forms. (duh)
The pats definitely do the rub thing out of that. I think they have a form of it that does something sneaky with the mesh though. i think they blast Gronk up between the criss-crossing WRs (for example) to add variety to it and to give it some length so it won’t just be a chain mover.
Which makes it perfect for us to run.
what if we criss-cross Grant and Wilson. Run Parker on the banana out on one side and Stills on the hitch and go long on the other. Meanwhile send Gesicki full speed up the seam. And flare Drake into the flat.
Whichever gets the benefit of the rub catches it for a guaranteed 1st, BUT those two smurfs are 4.3 sprinters. If they are not tackled at the catch point, they could go all the way because Stills and Parker have emptied the middle.
Parker can only be singled up, so he is primed for either a back shoulder or a 50/50 jump ball, his two specialties, either way about 15 yds downfield. If the protection holds up, Stills, also out there one on one, has a really good chance of succeeding with the double move and getting behind the CB who is on an islnd and that’s 6.
Gesicki benefits by not getting knocked off his route early because the LBs are digesting the crossing men, so he delays a half tick and aims his seam to flash off the back pocket of the ILB.
Drake opens up his numbers for the QB under duress to see, and he’s only about 12 yards away for a gimme on the pitch and catch, and he is looking at 25 yards of open field before Parker’s man turns around since Drake’s speed will ruin the angle on the guys trying to cut him down from inside out. One limp leg juke and he breaks the DB’s ankle and he’s in for 6.
We might score 3-5 TDs on that one play.

18 UDFAs … Did we leave any for the rest of the League?
That’s a lot.
Can’t remember which team but I read some team signed 20+.

I’m very happy to share my love of the game with others who appreciate the game, sir! I’m happy you enjoyed it, Naples. You’re most welcome, and thank you! 🙂
Anyone have any knowledge of or opinions on the UDFAs we signed?
linebacker Terrill Hanks Wrecked Wyoming. Hated him! Love him on my team!
Preston Williams had a really good year @CSU Glad he was one and done with them!
Is Hanks the LB with the 11 sacks, 8 INTs and 22 PD?
BOOM!!!
Holy Shit.
That’s a great move.
That’s not a bank breaker.
You cap geniuses can explain to me whether it would be better to front load that now while we are not cap strapped and before we need to pay a QB.
Awesome!!! Just stay healthy X, that’s you’re only red flag. He can shut guys down, he’s a ball hawk, he plays the run, good tackler, hard hitter and he’s now a film junkie because he wants to be the best. That’s the market for top corners now and he’s a top corner.
I read the entire article that Wyo linked to and it seems like most of the guys have fat stat lines with lots of production.
For example:
CB Montre Hartage was a four-year letterman (2015-18) and three-year starter at Northwestern, where he played in 51 games with 37 starts. At one point in his career, Hartage started 37 consecutive games. He totaled 172 career tackles (140 solo), 10 interceptions, 39 passes defensed, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. His 10 interceptions are tied for 10th in school history. As a senior in 2018, Hartage earned first-team All-Big Ten honors and totaled 15 passes defensed, which were tied for third in the conference.
Wyo that “Rundown” clip makes me feel better about our OL. Them’s some dogs, bro.
Looks like we signed a lot of productive football players over size and speed guys with upside. If half of these guys can stick with the org like maybe a couple become a significant part of the team, a couple in depth roles and then the rest on the PS that’s pretty good.
nice
Yes Tim
Hanks was a four-year starter (2015-18) at New Mexico State, where he played in 46 career games with 43 starts. He totaled 395 tackles (160 solo), 11 sacks, eight interceptions, 22 passes defensed, six forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries. Hanks’ 395 career tackles rank fourth in school history. As a junior in 2017, Hanks earned honorable mention All-Sun Belt honors after totaling 110 tackles (49 solo) and seven sacks. His 110 tackles were third in the conference. A Miami native, Hanks played at Immaculata-La Salle High School.
I saw he ran a 4.98 40 but man he looks faster than that. I do know Bryan Cox ran a 5.0 and he was a pretty good LB. 😉
2 nights ago, I had a weird dream (as usual for me)… and it entailed Xavien Howard playing ping-pong in his Phins uniform against other NFL players… none of whom I could identify in my dream.
Was it a sign?!! I dunno?!!
Man watching those rundown clips, i’m gonna hate to cut anybody!!
Seahawks terminated Baldwin and Chancellor contracts ..
This might be the year we replace Denny, not that I want to, but if he gets hurt or just has lost another step, that Farnsworth looks like a keeper.
I think Flores wants competition everywhere. Nobody is a starter yet except for X. LOL
Sanchez is still an idiot.. did the pick win/loss on NFLN for Jets .. had them 13-3 including sweeping Fins
not to sound too harsh, but this group has the least chance to make the team of any others. These positions do get hurt a lot though, so it’s good to know where to find replacements.
It will work itself out. The theme seems to be good football players over the size and speed thing. Can they be that at the next level.
I don’t agree with that. This group is the best group we’ve ever had since 2010. We’ve got some real players here. The one thing I always here is the draft is a numbers game and just because a player goes undrafted doesn’t mean they can’t play. Some of these guys could have been drafted in the 5th or even earlier, like Williams if he didn’t have his issues, but the numbers didn’t allow for it.
I think that when you get to a certain point in the draft the evals become a bit more unclear and the differences between one player and another aren’t nearly as great so some players or a lot of players are going to get left out.
sorry Naples. thought the video was about all the udfa’s
I think Lou is going to like that we added an NFL starter at RT and extended Howard with a new contract but didn’t go crazy signing has beens. 😉
I love it
As Stanger mentioned yesterday think we’re going to see a lot of 3-3-5 formations on defense and one of the main reasons is Minkah. No doubt we’re going to be a stunt/blitz team because we don’t have pure edge pass rushers or at least unknown at this time. Harris has to become that to live up to his 1st rd status and maybe someone else surprises.
It could also be 2 DT, 2 Edge – standing or 3 point, 2 ILB making up a front 6. I see Flores and staff using Minkah in a way where he could have a huge season in year two. Being the rover – playing all over the secondary and blitzing.
How good Wilikins is right away is key to this defense being pretty damn good. We’ve got some good DL depth inside, I expect McMillan and Baker to continue to get better, and we have quality in the secondary. The main concern is consistent edge pressure. That’s a wait and see.
HOMEBOY!!
Put on some pads Homeboy!
I think Omar did pee himself a little bit at least
WOW 15.3 mil per year average! that is some cheese for a CB. Good job X , now earn it and make it look like a brilliant move!
Glad to have X signed without issue. He got what he wanted, so no issue to be had, lol.
GETTING ME A FARNSWORTH JERSEY!!
My newest camp crush! Go Farnsworth!
It’s great that we’re finally rewarding OUR guys who have played at a high level for this team rather than paying someone else’s rejects. Great job from the Phins front office.
X was the best player on the team last year and voted as such by the league and his teammates. He’s our Revis. He already has that rep that his side is buyer beware.
That udfa class has to be the best I’ve seen since I started looking at this stuff in 2010. We’ve got some players with great potential like Needham, Hanks, Anderson, Calhoun and Williams to name a few.
If you look back at most of the great defenses this league has seen, you’ll see a shutdown CB on one side. Being able to single up on most teams’ top receiver is a big weapon on defense and allows for more scheme flexibility. This was clearly a top priority for our FO.
That’s why the Pats signed Stephon Gilmore. You want a guy in each phase of your defense that is a terror for opponents. I think Minkah is going to give us another one in the secondary. I see us being a turnover defense that keeps us in games.
Yep! I think our defense is going to be fun to watch this year. If we can generate a passrush, our D has quite a bit of potential already. Hopefully Raekwon takes that next step. Baker was solid and should still have some upside. We know Alonso is a playmaker, Jones is a playmaker, Mcdonald is a playmaker. X and Minkah. We’ve got a number of DTs in the mix. I think we’re already really close on D. Get a couple of edge players (may have to wait until next year to address), or have a couple step up (looking at you Harris) and…..
Kong, if our offense scores a decent amount of points, our defense will wipe out the tanking narrative in such a way that the locals reporters will have tails between legs. LOL
Agreed. Our offense is the huge question mark this year. If it comes together in any way, I can see us winning some games. I would so love to see Mando eat some serious crow over the tanking thing.
And if we win 8 or 9 games and end up middle of the pack with our pick, I don’t see that as a negative. The best teams pic at the bottom of the round every year, and they get it done, lol. It just means we’re closer to being a playoff team than we’ve been given credit for.
Rebuild and compete. Tanking is ghey! LOL
OBob, bite me
Game winner!
Glad to see so many aren’t being persuaded to go over to the Dark Side. It’s going to be a fun year.
Mike, why did you leave out Jordan Mills from your depth chart? c’mon man you have to get this stuff right.
I sure hope you guys are right about the OL beast mode. Also, FO finding a RT for right price and no draft picks.
Signing X now is so smart and 5 year deal. Again, hope the Koolaid keeps pouring. Would love to see Wilkins anchor our new DL. I agree D could be good…..it NEEDS to be. It’s been so long.
It really seems like we are “staying the course.”
I’m glad X got his big payday, most happy we have a solid corner locked up for another 5 years. These guys are never worth these big contracts, but they get paid, and he’s ours, so I’d rather him get paid here than somewhere else. Now he has to back up his contract by continuing to work hard and play even better than he has in the past, truly become elite.
Dilly Dilly!
I chuckled at OBob – That just sounds funny to me

Welcome to Miami Wesley Farnsworth!

https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-dolphins-gamble-on-xavien-howard-make-him-highest-paid-cornerback-in-the-nfl
PFF is not as enthusiastic about the Xavien Howard signing as many of us are.
Patrick putting his balls on the table. Coaching can help defense.
I haven’t been concerned with the pass rush like most here, partly for the same reasons as Patrick mentioned, but mostly, because I see the pass rush coming from the LBs or just blitzers in general. Minkah, Jones and TJ will have some say in it too.
We won 7 last year with a low sack total, but it’s not about sacks, it’s about pressure and getting off the field. Depending on sacks to stop an O, is like depending on turnovers.
Also, I dont see us using the 4-3 enough to need an Edge. A couple of the guys we have will do the job. Harris will be key to that theory.
Getting a low sack total isnt the same as having a leaky OL, so I also prioritize the OL much higher in our current situation.
I actually like John Denney, you don’t see your long snapper as the leading tackler on punts very often. The man get’s down the field quick and puts his nose in there. He is getting WAY long in the tooth though. I can’t seem to find any film of Farnsworth making any tackles and can’t find special teams stats on the college web-sites to see how many tackles he made in college while snapping.
My company is remodeling the hotel where the Dolphins stay during the offseason and just got back from the job-site. He’s a big Dolphins fan too. He was there this morning when the buss full of rookies arrived and said to me How big is that guy Wilkins? I said 6’3″ 315. Now my boss is a BIG BOY close to if not over 300lbs and probably 6’2″ and he says to me bull shit! That kid is enormous. I looked like a little baby next to him.
I ask if he got any autographs and he said he didn’t want to bother them. “They all looked like giant lost kids”
*** and my boss just got back
An average guy 6′ 2″ 300 lbs doesn’t compare to a 22 year old pro athlete about the same size. One has couch potato characteristics while the other has Adonis like, so not comparing apples to apples.
6’2″ – 300 isn’t average, but that is what my bosses point was. The kid is enormous. Even to a guy who is only 1″ shorter and 15lbs lighter. (Fat vs muscle)
“The beauty about the pass rush, and I’ve always said this, is it’s very fluid. Everything is very fluid. As you watch it and you try to get an understanding of it, you can take advantage of it in different ways, different shapes, different forms and different people. ”
— Patrick Graham
“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”

Steve – I understand your point, but talent at DE does matter. There’s a reason why edge guys are drafted early and get the huge bucks in FA. We definitely need to upgrade there, but like you said, there are other ways to create pressure and get a decent pass rush. When we have both, the talent at DE and the coaching we can be a top defense.
Gonna be real interesting to see how X’s contract is structured. $46M guaranteed makes it sound like he’s with us absent injury or trade for at least 3 years. If his salary this year stays the same…. make that 4.
My guess is the bulk of it is paid out next year when we have so much cap space.
Just not sure D. Got real used to how we do things when push cap forward, but we’ve never been in a situation where burning cap makes sense. Figure what they do with his contract will be a learning experience. My guess is less bonus to get pro-rated down the years though.
What Graham said about scheming a pass rush is what we’ve all been talking about this offseason. We don’t have a premier pass rusher so of course it’s going to come from stunts and blitzes. Hoping Harris blossoms in this new scheme. Wilkins can also provide a pass rush from inside. We’ll see how looks soon enough.
It’s got to be tough being a gator fan. First a top recruit is bailing because of the QB, then they get called out for having the weakest schedule in division 1.

Flores on the QB competition: “We’re looking for leadership, obviously accuracy, someone who for the most part can lead the team and put together successful drives. There’s a lot that goes into it.”

Flores says he’ll be just fine if Ryan Fitzpatrick is the starting quarterback all 16 games this year, if he beats out Rosen.
I have a feeling this one will get some responses for the cheerleader brigade

Flores on Michael Deiter: “Versatility is obviously big for us. You want to start a guy in one spot but I would never say, ‘It’s just going to be this.'”
