This is it folks! Last game of the 2021 Preseason. Coach Flores has already put it out there most starters will sit so this is the opportunity for all those players on the roster bubble to make their case to be on the 53. It’s also a good chance to see what the depth looks like because during a season, injuries always rear their ugly head and you need solid depth to stay ahead during the season.
Jacoby Brissett will most likely see a fair amount of action and it’s important for him to show he knows the offense and can run the team in Tua’s absence. There’s always the question as to whether the Dolphins will carry 2 or 3 QB’s, my guess would be just 2. Reid Sinnett will end up on the PS and give the Dolphins another precious roster spot. Recent moves have made the WR depth much clearer. The Dolphins placed 2nd year WR Lynn Bowden Jr. on IR ending his season. The Dolphins also waived WR’s Robert Foster and Isaiah Ford. Veteran Allen Hurns was placed on IR earlier so the only bodies left are Will Fuller (Inactive Week 1), DeVante Parker, Albert Wilson, Jaylen Waddle,Preston Williams, Mack Hollins, Jakeem Grant, Kirk Merritt and Malcolm Perry. 9 WR’s , 6 for week 1. One has to go and I feel it will be Malcolm Perry. WIll the big bodied and oft injured Williams hold off equally as large and ace ST’s player Mack Hollins? I don’t think so. Merritt has had a strong preseason so he has a leg up, but there is still game 3 for Perry to change that. However, it looks very much like we’ll have Parker, Wilson, Waddle, Hollins, Grant and Merritt for the first game against the Patriots.
I expect us to carry 4 TE’s, Gesicki, Shaheen, Long and probably Smythe due to his blocking abilities. Myarick could steal his spot, and who knows, maybe it’s Shaheen that gets cut, but it sure seemed like they like Shaheen. Cethan carter also earn as a spot as an H-back/FB/TC, or maybe Long goes on IR because of his injury.
At RB, I think we’ll carry 4 into the regular season, the clear choices right now are the first 3, Myles Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed and Malcolm Brown. After that it’s a real tossup as to whether 2021 7th RD pick rookie Gerrid Doaks makes it, or veteran Patrick Laird or a surprise like Jordan Scarlett. Game 3 will probably have a lot to say about which guy makes it!
On the O-line, still not decided (as far as we know), but I’m sticking with my prediction of Jackson-Kindley-Deiter-Hunt-Eichenberg. Still possible that either Eichenberg starts at LG over Kindley and Jesse Davis starts at RT but I believe it will be the former. Jermaine Eluemunor has also been released. You have to figure we carry at least if not 9 OL so the aforementioned 5 plus Davis, Skura, Little and either Coleman or Pankey.
On defense, despite not seeing a lot of Jaelan Phillips, I still think he’s going to be a major part of our defense. AVG looks ready to be right where he left off last season, and that’s a good thing. I really love our depth at LB with AVG, Baker, McKinney, Phillips, Roberts, Eguavoen, Riley, Biegel. Not sure if Griffin makes that final cut, especially since Roberts has been activated.
On the DL we have the usual Wilkins-Davis-Ogbah, followed by Sieler, Jenkins, Butler and Strowbridge. More than likely that last spot will be up for grabs between Jason Strowbridge and Jonathan Ledbetter, unless we carry 8 DL, which is possible. Benito Jones is still in the mix but Tyshun Render was moved to LB where he faces tough odds against the previously mentioned group.
The Dolphins strong secondary will be led by All-Pro Xavien Howard and Byron Jones at CB along with Nik Needham who refuses to give ground to 2020 1st RD pick Noah Igbinoghene. Good on Needham, who just keeps working hard! The safety group looks Rowe and impressive rookie Jevon Holland, followed by vet Jason McCourty, Clayton Fejedelem (ST’s ace), Brandon Jones (2020 3rd RD pick), Jamal Perry and Nate WIlliams. Probably 4 will make it here among the safeties with 6 CB’s. Perry and Williams are as good as gone leaving perhaps a battle between Fejedelem and Jones or we carry 5 safeties. CB’s should be Howard, Jones, Needham, Igbinoghene, Coleman, McCourty who can play both CB/S
Special teams will be standout PK Jason Sanders as well as newly acquired P Michael Palardy. Jakeem Grant and Jaylen Waddle as well as Noah Igbinoghene will handle the return duties. Long snapper Blake Ferguson returns.
There will always be some surprise cuts, some of the players I have making the roster won’t and some I have being cut won’t get cut. It’s fun to see how things shape up, let’s just hope that injuries don’t make these decisions for the team.
GO DOLPHINS!!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
you should be selling your watson touch me here doll with massage table,
will help you pay for your economic ruin from gas going up 10 cents
Again, being personal! Why?
I keep hearing this Watson top 5 talk. Last year he finished ranked #12 in QBR behind Mayfield and dude from Raiders, 2019 #7 and 2018 #13. He did have a predicted ranking of #4 for the 2021 season before the BS came up.
I do think Watson’s arm is stronger. Haven’t done it, but, if you watch tape of 25-30 yard throws when Watson steps into it, he has some serious zip/velocity on the ball. Tua is more accurate on crossers but they are about the same on deep balls.
Though, I think he is not worth what Houston is asking even if there were not any allegations. RT has been ranked top 5 last 2 seasons ahead of Watson. Would you give up that for RT?
good points, and i wouldnt give up multiple firsts for ANY player in the NFL, its way too risky and usually doesnt work out
if we draft a guy, and he doesnt make it, its only one pick lost
Maybe what you’re trying to say, since RT has been ranked 5 recently, is the rankings don’t mean much
Watson, Burrow and Herbert all looked the part of great or future great QBs, that’s more important than the ranking, we know the team around a QB matters
Why isn’t ORob allowed to have an opinion?
When OD went on for years with his “show me” on the OL he wasn’t treated this way
You don’t have to agree with him, but you also don’t have to be assholes about it either
Mention anything negative about Tua and you guys loose your shit
OD is a Dolphins fan, through and through, one of the biggest Dolphin fans ever!
he has integrity, and i think all of us would like to see better blocking from our OL
And you wouldn’t want to see better play from QB?
i would, AND expect too
But no one on this board deserves personal attacks for merely expressing his opinion. Includes you my friend, who have been the subject of them at times. So seems you should get that most of all.
hypocrite, you were an asshole to Me, many times, but whos counting over there, lol
JBB
Don’t blow a Gaskins🤪
With all the WR’s we had in camp, I am really surprised we only have 1 signed to PS so far. Especially with more than half of them injury history.
Perry was claimed, some went to IR and we kept 7.
Who else would you have put their? Foster?
Yes, and/or one of many others who were cut by their teams.

________________________________________
sure you can single out a specific category however you may also want to look at total passing yards where he led the league on a dismal team.
you have to take everything into consideration.
Brady, Mahomes, Rogers, allen, may be the top 4, i’m positive Watson is next on that list making him top 5 QB. can you tell me a better qb than Watson who is not on that list?
Russell Wilson
not! close but no banana,
he would be considered in the next 5 category though.
Not sure Wilson is better
He is significantly better than Watson. Better scrambler better arm and better at leadership and winning
Rob, I’m really not trying to disagree with you on Watson’s talent. Guess where we disagree on is he worth the asking price. Outside of the legal BS, I still say no.
ck out our 1st rnd selections, Iggy, Jackson, Tua, wilkins,
!st rnd picks are not always cracked up to the perceived value, i would trade any 3 of those guys for Watson
And whether to us or another team that asking price is why Watson hasn’t been dealt. Clearly he does have a lot of value, but not what they are asking. Thought that before but just cold hard fact with the legal situation. And if the reports are right the Texans have not lowered the price tag cause of the legal stuff. How could they not?
They haven’t because they aren’t serious about trading him
Yep — At least not serious now. And their smart move may be waiting until the legal stuff is resolved. NFL teams don’t like uncertainty (how long he is out) or scandal (he will come with much less then).
Watson is undeniably a top 10 QB not sure about top 5 but a very talented QB indeed. I don’t think he is physically any more gifted than Tua I think the difference between he and Tua is experience. I think Tua can be everything Watson but he is not at that level yet. But this is all kind of semantics like BBM it comes down to the issue that the asking price for Watson is too steep even without the legal issues
Rob, not worried about Jackson yet. Iggy, I have more concerns about.
Wilkins is a stud!
Team value, i think having Watson as our starter is more valuable than having Jackson, Iggy & Wilkins.
my point is giving up 3 firsts for Watson is not out of the question
ORob — Might have agreed in March, but Watson could actually go to prison for a stretch. Not worth much to us if competing with Burt Reynolds to be starting QB for the Mean Machine.
strictly commenting on the football side, no one can speculate about the legal, money has a way to make problems disappear. he could be absolved or could go to prison.
that’s why contingencies would have to be put in place, and maybe that’s the hang up.
And those contingencies would mean the Texans are taking the risk of the legal situation and thus getting less than before. One thing for sure is an NFL suspension is coming. Only Q is when.
Perry picked up by NE for the sole reason of sharing what he can about our playbook. Belicheat has done this so often heading to first game of a season… regardless of who they are playing, he finds a guy that team cut and brings them in.
True but Perry also kind of fits the mold in the type of WR that Bellicheck likes
Yes, but Perry doesn’t seem to have neither the speed or size belicheat likes
Yeah he does. And hoping that’s the case. Good kid.
And cuts them the next week
So expect Perry on our PS week 2
Looks like we can still add 6 players to the PS
Think Grier is working on some guys like Sheard, guys with experience, so if there’s a covud breakout we can put adequate players on the field
agreed on Sheard, who has 53 sacks in the NFL and is a thumper like Ogbah at 260 pounds. He ran a 4.69 as a rookie, although I’m sure not that fast any more, and won a Super Bowl with the Patriots when Flo was there, so there’s quality experience for mentorship.
great stat sheet of all our guys on the 53 (Perry is gone now though)
We have a bunch of really good but really young players.
https://www.miamidolphins.com/news/meet-the-2021-miami-dolphins-53-man-roster-announced
Malcolm Perry is a lot like Edelman in that he was a college QB, so he knows who should be where, and he has serious quickness in the box. He might be the next Wes Welker, only bigger. I don’t expect him back like when we got Ford back, but then again, you’re dealing with the cheater, sooo …

Malcolm Perry at 5 10 174, with a 4.63 40 time and not exactly strong, but does have exceptional quickness
Not exactly numbers you look for
Wes Welker 40 time — 4.65 seconds
agreed, no big loss for us, especially as we have so many better options in the slot, such as Waddle, Wilson, and even Grant, all of whom are way way faster than Perry, and Bowden, who can play the wildcat as well, but still, Perry may be a cog for Bellicheat.
He was nothing as a returner either.
and not someone you could play on the coverage side of ST as well.
The one guy on the 53 I can’t understand is Cethan Carter, unless he’s the designated FB or has exceptional ST value. Teams rarely carry 5 TEs.
I think a sneaky improvement the pundits aren’t seeing is Adam Butler and John Jenkins on the DL. They should improve the main weakness we had on D, which was the short yardage run D and the back side cutback runs.
^
Just realized Pats have signed kicker Nick Folk and QB Brian Hoyer to their practice squad.
We could sign Cam Newton to our PS. lol
wise moves, stidham and a green PK could fall apart. Hoyer is a great mentor and practice team QB, coach on the field guy.
They still have no backup QB on the game day roster
I am hoping I’m right about thinking we improved on the OL, just by Jackson and Kindley maturing and moving Hunt inside. I’m predicting Dieter rounds into at least an adequate center.
Having Mancz, Little, and Robert Jones as backups on the OL is an enormous improvement over last year, and the chance to develop Liam, Jones, and Little is very good forward planning.
With the concerns about Jackson and Kindley in camp am wondering if we’ll do better than an average OL, but for sure it is young and developing. Was less than average last year and a lot of the same guys. Hope they surprise me. Nice depth though.
Giants signed Skura to their PS. Many long time vets signing to PS.
The new covid PS rules have created a soft landing spot for some vets who would otherwise have to make some hard decisions.
Surprised we have not signed some more of our own to PS like Ledbetter, Strowbridge, Render, Foster, etc.

Hey now, everyone deserves a banana
The line outside a Venice, FL chiropractor’s office after he announced he would sign mask exemption forms with no questions asked for students. He did 500 of them before the school board changed to “has to be a MD.” Just don’t get it.
I wonder how many exemptions got signed by local PhDs lol
“Dr” is a very loose term. Technically includes Ken, Pig and Me based on the JD. How scary is that? 🙂
I feel better about Tua playing well this year than I do about our OL. Our left side looked….if not terrible this PS….at the very least inconsistent. Our backups looked so-so against backups, so I’m not thrilled about our depth. Deiter looked like he was able to keep his head above water, but he certainly didn’t impress. Hunt looked good. Davis is Davis. I thought Liam actually looked fairly good at RT but still like a rookie trying to learn…no issue with that because that’s what he is. I do believe we’ll see an improved OL by the end of the year, but there’s a whole lot of work to be done yet. If we can’t establish some semblance of a running game, this offense….and Tua…will likely struggle. I’m not looking for greatness. I just want functional. We didn’t see much of that in the PS.
***
Tua isn’t a scrambler, but he does have some ability to manage the pocket. No doubt teams will try to push the pocket on him…as they do with every rookie QB….especially shorter ones. Deiter will be earning his paycheck this year because he’ll be tested. Tua will have to get the ball out on time. His YPA will probably be fairly low this season. That’s okay because he really just needs to focus on getting the ball out and letting guys make plays. If we see him eating the ball a lot and taking sacks…then I’ll get worried. I’d rather see him just throwing it away. I don’t think this offense is anywhere near where they need to be to be a true playoff caliber team. This is still a developmental sort of season, to me. Still, I think we’re headed in the right direction.
I do worry about Deiter being able to handle Davon Godchaux and Christian Barmore in the middle.
Piggy,
Awesome phone case!
I looked at Watsons play last year and he’s not a top 5 QB. Maybe a top 5 young QB right now but the legal issues will hurt his career. He’s very talented and might get there depending on legal issues but his stats were inflated like Winston’s the year before with better ball security (very important and one of his best traits) , and the need to keep scoring with their terrible defense.
He played bad teams or bad defenses most of the year and looked bad against Chicago, Cleveland, GB, KC, Balt, and Pitt. He looked all world though against the bad teams and was the primary reason they won any games. I could see Tua getting to his level in 2-3 years tho without putting his career at risk with wondering D disease( sorry D!). Great player but no one can sell me the need for him.
Goes along with what some of us have said about Watson’s stats being bloated, because they were going against a lot of soft Ds
But put Watson on the Fins and we become an SB contender
If Tua is who I think he is, we’ll also be a SB contender
We know who Watson is, at times he looks great, at times he struggles with accuracy and consistency
Yep. I’m not sure he plays the next two years and then we have a younger guy that may be comparable.

Wes Welker 40 time — 4.65 seconds
You need to have 2 of these 3 to be a good slot
Speed, toughness, quickness
Welker was quick and tough
Perry is quick
I think of Perry as being more analogous to Edelman. They are bigger than Welker and former QBs, so they really understand Offensive play calling and where the QB likes to look up and see his safety valve.
How many times did teams almost have Brady for a sack? only to see Edelman standing in the one empty void in the 4-7 yard range for the first down or at least to escape the loss of yardage.
Plus Perry was a triple option QB who ran for 614 yards in 2 years, much of that in very tough inside running as the trigger man keeping the ball. So he can take a hit and play the wildcat QB.
I’m sure bellycheat would love to get revenge on us for the Ronnie Brown wildcat game.
Exactly
been so busy the last several weeks, but this morning I was thinking “season starts this weekend finally”.
UGH
I thought the 17th game meant the weekend of 4th preseason game would be game 1. What’s with the “weekend off” this weekend? I clearly missed the memo on this one. At least there’s college football. Notre Dame playing on a SUNDAY … how weird is that?
I’ve been b!tching about this too, lol, I guess the league doesn’t want the season to start on Labor Day weekend – $$$$$
It’s the perfect weekend because it has a built in holiday on Monday, so I wouldn’t even have to use a vacation day when I inevitably drink too much…

BBM,
Deiter didn’t show much power in PS, and it’s something he struggled with playing guard. If you don’t have a C who can maintain pocket depth or get push in the run game, it really negatively impacts the whole OL. It will be a key to how well this offense can do this season. We may see them needing to move the pocket and roll Tua out.
Can’t watch a line like you do, but would feel better about Deiter if Skura hadn’t landed on a practice squad. Maybe Deiter was the clear lights out guy in camp….. but doesn’t seem like he had much competition either.
Would anyone be annoyed, if Laird was claimed by the cheats, instead of Perry?
He seems to be more of their type of player
I would much rather lose Perry to NE than Laird. Laird is one of those annoying “always open” guys. Bowden is like that, also.
I think Perry has more upside, but we’ll see if he’s even on their roster after week 2…
Not upset in either circumstances. Who someone signs with after being cut is never an issue to me. If we wanted the player that bad we wouldn’t have cut them
I think both of them seem Pats kinda of guys. Welker and 7/11 are two others who have made the trip to the dark side. Seems fast and big not as much a concern as being able to get open and pick your spot.
I think Dieter beating out a guy who was a starter for the Ravens for 4 years is encouraging.
Matt Skura played well this preseason, his 84.0 pass-block grade ranked 5th among centers.
However
His best regular season came in 2019 with a 68.7 overall grade.
And he fumbled 4 snaps last year.
Skura ended up on a practice squad. All 32 teams got to check out his tape…. not one put in a waiver claim or signed him to their 53 for the vet minimum. Not trying to crush the guy, but is what it is.
Just hope we cut him, because Deiter was better and not, because Deiter Projected to be better
Are all lawyers Juris Doctors?
Yes
New Age and Steve
For me – I can’t really argue Watson is not a very good QB
Don’t know if top 5 is correct but I do like the QB a lot as a player, and where some one ranks is hardly objective so…
But more than anything else, I just don’t know how good or bad Tua will be yet. Hearing people like Colon Cowturd say “I don’t see it” is not the way anyone who values being taken seriously should talk about a young QB
I know there a skill set that translates to a great NFL QB for Tua
I do t know that it will happen
Hearing people write him off is nauseating now
Tom Brady was a 6th round pick
Ryan Leaf was the 2 pick
It’s hard to predict what a QB can achieve
Bill parcells famously said something about them not growing on trees
The message is: no one knows
Not even the experts
And the blowhards certainly don’t know either
I just want to see the guy play and make a decision on his future over the next season
The question always ends up whether future investment is worth it
Take Tannehill for example, even though he has blossomed in Tennessee, I think parting ways with him when we did was the right move – not bc he didn’t have potential but bc I didn’t think we should be the one investing in it anymore
Watson doesn’t have Tua’s accuracy, that’s the biggest difference I think in the two
Some say accuracy is the most important trait in a QB, and I tend to agree
As long as you have pocket presence, and teams can’t sit on the short pass, accuracy can move you up and down the field, like we saw in PS
I don’t want to have anything to do with Watson, unless Tua stinks it up this year and I put the chance of that happening at 1%
We saw Tua last year as the little engine, that almost did even with the handicaps of health, wr corps, knowledge of PB… but with everything he’s gained over the offseason I’d be shocked, if he doesn’t turn out to be the QB we were hoping to tank for
I think we cut Skura the minute we traded for Mancz.
Key stat: Allowed just 18 total pressures across 1,120 snaps over the regular season.
Greg Mancz
Another star of the PFF college grading, Mancz somehow went undrafted in 2015, but started last season for the Texans at center and had five perfect games of pass protection as well as grading solidly as a run-blocker over the year. His PFF grade of 84.2 was good enough to rank eighth in the NFL, higher than multiple Pro Bowl players. Mancz didn’t allow a sack or hit across two playoff games.
sorry
the above is from PFF article “The Secret Superstars”
“Each day we’re gonna make the decision we think is best. Again, it’s a one-step process. Deshaun’s been here every day. He’s been in training camp every day. He’s been in the building, he’s been in meetings, he’s been around his teammates. We’re gonna take it one day at a time. I’m not going to get into a lot of speculation about what has happened, what didn’t happen. It’s a waste of everybody’s time, quite frankly, I think there’s more important things to talk about. We’re gonna take it one day at a time, we’re gonna do what we feel is best for our team and organization. I would say there’s no finite answer, no definitive answer here at this point and that’s how we’re gonna handle it.”

“I’m not going to get into a lot of speculation about what has happened, what didn’t happen.” — means any Watson trade is on hold to me at least.
That article was from 2017 and listed 1 player for each team.
It had the following “Secret Superstar” for the Dolphins
CB Byron Maxwell
2016 snaps: 846
Key stat: Allowed just three catches for 23 yards against Brandon Marshall in Week 9 on six targets
Maxwell had a quietly impressive season despite actually being benched in the midst of it by the Dolphins. He didn’t begin the season well, and was sat down in Week 4, but from that point onward he allowed more than 30 yards just twice over the rest of the season and never more than 42 yards in a game. The longest catch he allowed after being benched was 19 yards and he amassed eight pass breakups and two interceptions over that time.
Interesting he named a WR and not whoever our other TEs were at the time…
Because he thinks of himself as a wr
Gesicki and Smythe seem to come as a bromance pair. And makes sense.
Or haven’t done it more than maybe once the last decade
Maybe we can watch the season and see what Tua is or isn’t instead of repeating the same stuff over and over. Just some food for thought.
No Tim! Colon Cowturd “doesn’t see it” and that’s enough for me!
Why be reasonable and wait to see what he does this season when you can take some one who is pandering for ratings word for it….
🤪
You can’t say “I told you so” If you haven’t repeated it at least 50 times! It’s a rule! 😉
Think you’re tired of the Watson BS, if we lose game 1, even if Tua throws for 350 29 for 30 4 tds it’s going to ramp up
If we win it will be the excuse that Jones was in his first start the D was reason for the win
I thought Deiter and Skura looked fairly comparable in the PS. I don’t think either looked great. But, Skura was typically playing against lesser opponents, so it’s hard to compare. As I said a few days ago, Skura gives you almost zero versatility, so it’s hard to justify keeping him as a backup. Mancz can supposedly play G/C, so he gives you that flexibility that Skura doesn’t. Skura didn’t exactly play well for the Ravens, and they let him go….so there’s that. I think his injury of a couple years ago has affected his play. I think it’s more a reflection on their comfort level with Deiter that they put Skura on the PS. He’s a break in case of emergency vet.
Skura is on the Giant’s practice squad. But that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t have taken him for ours. Could be the Giants just outbid.

Stanger,
Ivermectin has been successfully used on humans for quite a while. That’s just disinformation.
Going with the FDA.
“FDA has not approved ivermectin for use in treating or preventing COVID-19 in humans. Ivermectin tablets are approved at very specific doses for some parasitic worms, and there are topical (on the skin) formulations for head lice and skin conditions like rosacea. Ivermectin is not an anti-viral (a drug for treating viruses).”

None of those uses looked like horse dewormer…so it is used for humans. It also has promise as an anti-viral for multiple diseases. It’s disinformation to call it ‘horse dewormer’ and very unscientific tbh.

Perhaps unscientific, but unless the articles I read are wrong it is a horse dewormer and a common anti-parisite vet med. In any event, I tend to go with the FDA even if has made mistakes in the past. Not like am a MD. Which yeah means if get Covid will be looking for monoclonal antibody treatments.
I agree about the monoclonal antibody treatments. They look to be really effective so far.
I’m sure bellycheat would love to get revenge on us for the Ronnie Brown wildcat game.

you don’t think putting a 43-0 smack down on us the first match ’19 was enough?
Rob – You’re absolutely entitled to your opinion. What I don’t get is why you hold Tua to standards you don’t hold other players to. When we got Malcolm Brown you were talking about how great he will be here because he’s a tough runner. He’s averaged less than 30 yards per game throughout his entire career which spans 6 seasons but he will be great here. Based on what? Tua will suck because he didn’t look good last season and averaged 100 yards a game as you say. He played one season as a rookie coming off a major injury w/o training camp and preseason and you base the trajectory of his career solely by what he did last season. This is what I have a problem with. If you were consistent across the board I’d understand your opinion but you’re not.
Why engage him it is pointless
It is pointless because the gazillion other reasons given that Tua might be successful compared to last is based on the unwavering belief in one aspect of game, his throwing mechanics.
It’s a singular minded focus on his unproven POV. Everyone else’s ability to express their opinion or observation is never considered as plausible because they don’t agree with him. He never even entertains the idea he might be wrong.
Now, imo, he is making himself the victim and others on the blog are enabling it.
LOL!
Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one.
stanger,
Oh, my bad. I thought Naples said we signed him to the PS. I hadn’t heard that, but I get my dolphins news here. Lol
Not like it matters much in the big scheme of things….. ‘cept to Skura when he figures out where to rent a place that is. 🙂

Skura ended up on a practice squad. All 32 teams got to check out his tape…. not one put in a waiver claim or signed him to their 53 for the vet minimum. Not trying to crush the guy, but is what it is.
Stanger, Skura is a vested veteran. He is not subject to the waiver wire. (4 accrued years which is another discussion) so that no other teams “claimed him” really isn’t a knock because they couldn’t.
My bad — and actually didn’t know that. Thought everyone went through the wire. Still left with Skura is not on an active roster, or even our practice squad.
that he is supposed to go on NYG practice squad is the same point. Granted.
I can’t find a link to the draft on the league website
It is there now … only opens 30 mins prior
Got it &I am in draft room now
I think I see that you are in
Piggy,
Late response but great post and I completely agree. Like I told Steve, Watson won’t play this year and he may not play next year. These charges are more serious than some dead dogs no matter how much I love them.
In two years, we will know if Tua is the guy and we may have a guy with similar production lveles to Watson…that’s 3 years younger. It would be negligence from our FO not to give Tua 3-4 seasons.
I can’t imagine bringing Watson here with all his baggage to Flores’ team.
In my opinion, the culture being built here would take a huge hit. It would undermine everything that’s been done to date since Grier hired Flores.
….a huge hit to the team and to management, imo.
I owe myself a beer….lol. Got it covered!
“Stephon Gilmore will start the year on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list, meaning he will not be eligible to play in the first six weeks of the regular season.”

Mike pigs and ER 2:00 to draft
What site do we use again?
NFL.com. You drafted a great team
F*ck didn’t realize the draft was tonight.
I like this…
I’m so busy at work these days I just can’t keep up with stuff outside of work.
No worries we made sure ya got Watson and a bunch of Jets players 🤡
All I drafted are free agents if ya feel the need to replace anyone. And we can actually make trades 🤔
All undrafted
Lmao…I need to be more subtle….
Fuck that…lol.
Dude, that’s SMOOTH! Thanks for sharing!
I really like that Kong. Thanks!
I’m pleased you and MF enjoyed it. 🙂

One of the greatest songs ever made, IMO.
i tried the ivermectin, it got rid of the horse worms fast! lol
i cant believe people are experimenting with whacked out shit, idiocracy is here
Man, that’s such a liberal talking point, after Joe Rogan successfully beat COVID. Did you even realize that the innovation of Ivermectin won the Nobel Prize in 2015?
Why are liberals trying to shame Joe Rogan, I ask?

rogans an idiot, he flaunted the virus is taking 5-6 different meds, got covid, SMH
seems like the dumb way to keep himself safe
its very simple, vac and mask WORKS, i didnt get it
i said before, the ones that make a big stink about NOT being safe, get the covid
he got it
rogans yet another idiocracy actor, lol he probably drinks brawndo, its got electrolytes

Why do you care about what another does after YOU have been vaxed and wear masks? That seems weird to me.
its hard to ignore idiots like rogan getting the covid
it wouldnt help to care about him, he made his own bed
maybe others could be helped if he would practice common sense and safety, instead of advocating witch doctor science
“Witch doctor” science? I’m not following you there at all. Not only has Ivermectin been effective in treating COVID, but so has Hydroxychloroquine.
Why is our government insisting we get a shot, which needs a booster every 5 months when a cheap-ass pill can fix it all? BIG PHARMA.
C’mon, my Brah. We (you and I) do NOT like BIG BIZ!!!
why do any of us care? it should be the common goal to get rid of the virus, not catch it
i would like to get back to a world without covid and people intentionally trying to spread it
David, notice (as ALWAYS) that I’ll never personally attack ya, man. I’ve got to hit the hay, and we’ll converse tomorrow, man.
Have a good night, Brah!
GO PHINS!!!
HELL YEAH!!!
MF, its not enough to think of one self, have to think about others
for example, someone in the workplace gets covid, but doesnt tell the other workers, and exposes them, or someone thats lazy, and lies that they have covid to get some time off, etc
or someone gets covid, but doesnt like masks, and spreads it to others in the grocery store, gas stations, etc
the only way to stop it is to keep your self safe, and DONT spread it to others. we have a moral obligation to be honest about this in the workplace, family , etc
we may not like wearing masks, i sure dont, but i dont want to spread it to others, possibly children that cant get vaccinated

LED BY A GOOD ASSEMBLY OF WIDEOUTS, HULK SMASH LOOKS TO HAVE A BREAKTHROUGH CAMPAIGN
Draft Grade Proj Record Proj Finish
A 9-5 4
DRAFT SUMMARY
Picking ninth overall in the opening round, Hulk Smash had a decent showing and assembled a team that has the ability to reach the postseason. They aimed for a roster with balance at key positions, picking up a quarterback, two running backs, and two wide receivers within the first five rounds. By the time the draft was completed, Hulk Smash ended up with the highest-scoring quartet of wide receivers in the league.

See everyone in the post season 🤢
I don’t think the oinkinator did so well
Jalen Hurts is my starting QB
😔
Hurts should put up good fantasy numbers though. Reality maybe different
My wife is a grade school teacher.
She refuses to get the vaccine.
She has not had Covid.
Would you like to call her all the “talking heads” names you have for that??????
Asking?
PS. I’m in a foul mood so please do!!!!!!!
i cant speak for wyoming, never been there,
but in FL, covid is out of control, that track record would probably be different
my exwife is a teacher in FL, and several teachers got the covid and passed it to some students, and exposed some other teachers after they KNEW they were postitive.
my exwife got the vac, and didnt get the covid when she was exposed to it.
but we cant be guilty of transmitting it to others, and think we are solving the problem
I’m In Texas!
Go ahead with your comments!!!!
texas is also struggling mightily with this, what does your wife do to make sure she doesnt transmit to the students or other teachers?
would she inform them if she tested positive?
Cheers, MF 🙂
Sometimes I try to throw some different stuff out there hoping it might strike a chord with someone
I’m kinda laughing at myself right now, because I thought it was Friday, which was why I posted the music, lol.
lol im in the mood for friday music too

GAMBLING EARLY, TEAM TOBA IS HEADED FOR A TITLE RUN
Draft Grade
A+
Proj Record
13-1
Proj Finish
1
DRAFT SUMMARY
A good performance on draft day by the GM of Team Toba turned the sixth overall pick into a projected first-place finish. With six wide receivers on the roster, they have both quality and quantity at that spot. Their receivers are projected to average 228.34 points this season, a bit more than the league average of 227.44. Elsewhere on the roster, Team Toba was able to secure the highest-scoring pair of tight ends in the league.
Scoffing at traditional fantasy strategy, Team Toba neglected to select a running back in the draft’s first three rounds.
Matthew Stafford may have been a steal in the 13th round, with an overall pick of 126th compared to an ADP of 79.8).
Tua Tagovailoa, chosen with the 55th overall pick, may have been somewhat of a gamble. Across all NFL.com leagues, his ADP was 141.9.

I’d like to see us start the game with Brown in the backfield, 2-TE and run it. Get the OL amped up to get after them and knock them off the ball. Attack rather than react. Then see where we stand and go from there.
_____
I’d like to see this too, but I’m not sure I want to see Brown in the backfield. I haven’t seen him look consistently reliable enough.
same here, im not convinced that brown is a starter in the NFL yet
watching his highlights with the rams, he shows little yards after contact, and is slow
i would much prefer a back with more speed, power, and breakaway ability than brown
Substitute Gaskins for Brown and I am okay with that
So just a replay of what we did PS game 1 against the Bears, when we went 3 and out?
Do whatever it takes to move the ball
“The position has become more capable of creating on their own, and Mac Jones is not that guy. He is going to be your more traditional pocket-passing quarterback that is going to rely on accuracy and mental acumen to pick you apart,” McElroy said.
“The beauty is, that’s not a dinosaur. What’s a dinosaur are the guys with absolutely no mobility — the guys 6-foot-5, statues in the pocket, absolute cannon arms that can’t process really quickly. Those are the guys that are a dying breed. But if you can process quick, if you’re really accurate, if you can move in the pocket and if you can anticipate where receivers are going to be, then having less-than-ideal mobility is not the end of the world.”
Hmmmm…..new ways to think about the modern QB. What a concept…..lol!
How much do you guys see facing rookie QB’s in NE and NY will benefit the team this year? Do you think it is enough of an avantage to swing both games with each team, or do you guys think the teams will be good enough to overcome the potential rookie mistakes?
We will also be facing Lawrence in London. I’m putting that one down as a win, even though we don’t seem to do so well in London.
We’re fine in London as long as we had a good team, the years we lost we sucked
I think it’s a huge benefit
And I’m think 4-5 wins from those 5 games
The jests bad team
So are the jags
No the patriots might be bad too
We did pretty good last year against QBs like Herbert and Lock
I think it’s the type of games that Flores salivates over
I think we’ve watched this team long enough to know that rookie QB’s starting for opposing division teams aren’t automatic wins. On paper it should give us an advantage, but I know there are tons of factors that go into a game.
I think Miami will benefit greatly against both teams. NY has no offensive identity and their defense was hit hard over the summer. Daley may turn the Jets around eventually 9if he does he’ll be the first), but not this year. He has to build his roster. NE has set up to be a TE-centric, run heavy offense. I’m sure the first game will be take away the run, make the rookie beat Miami’s most excellent secondary. Second NE game may be more interesting, although I still can’t name a NE WR off the top of my head.

————————————————————————————————
What makes you assume she is a higher risk to transmit to others?
The facts are she has had to stay home several times because she came in close contact with others that were vaccinated that tested positive!
That last line would have gotten me to GO OFF last night!
But it just shows a preconceived attitude about the whole situation!!!
Why on God’s green earth would she not inform everyone that she tested positive?
Yeah, that last comment threw me off also but then I reminded myself who you are talking to.
questions are not comments, questions are questions
Yeah, he basically assumes or hints that she wouldn’t because she’s not vaxed, as if he’s better than her
Complete dick move on his part, to a family member, that should be off limits on here
But it’s what we come to expect from him, even after someone attacked his wife here
Any word for that come to mind?
i didnt assume shit, i ASKED
but thanks for the answer, but its the wrong answer to stop the disease and keep her students safe
she has the information and knowledge to ensure safety for her students, but doesnt use it, point noted
I was drunk and angry when I even started this conversation!
I’m going back to ignoring everyone who posts dumb shit like this!
my post is NOT dumb, its accurate
i GAVE u the floor to explain what the teacher does to ensure safety to her students, you failed to show it
i acknowledged it, but feel my exwifes approach is better for students
I completely support Wyo on this! Nuff said.
Wow Wyo, we do have a few things in common….lol. I love it!
I am upgrading my prediction for the season to 13-4
W, L, W, W, L, W, W, L, W, L, W, W, W, W, W, W, W
Strong finish to the season
you have N.E. winning the first game on Howies list WTF?

LOL
1. Did I not say at the beginning of the sentence that I was upgrading my prediction?
2. I thought we had agreed to ignore each others posts. We don’t want to devolve again into calling each other baldy and fatty.
whatever makes you happy,
are you going to burn ants today with your magnifying glass?
I’m stoked for the season, my heart tells me we will be dominate, my wallet begs to differ!
Tua to Wilson….TD….Repeat.
If we can win the turnover battle, play great special teams and win that battle, that may carry us far, but to win it all falls on QB play.
The most important position on the field!

fuck you for lying steve, you are a dishonest troll
Steve’s right, it was a Dick move.
You do know that people with the vax can catch and spread just like the unvax. That is a proven fact. Another fact is over 50% of the unvax have had COVID and have stronger antibodies than most of those who got the vax. That % is actually much higher as there are many unvax who don’t know they already have the antibodies unless they get tested as was the case with me.
I have not gotten the vax and will not get the vax. My choice, but I am more probably more protected than you.
You brainwash yourself with your own assumptions.
Lol, panties knotted lately🤣
Rest my case your honor
you have no honor, lol asshole
