So this is the last game the Miami Dolphins will be playing that won’t count in the standings. It will count, however, for those players desperately vying to grab a roster spot. The majority of the roster is probably accounted for, but there are probably a handful of bubble decisions that will be determined by performances in this last game. There will be a few positions where the depth will have to be figured out, most importantly DB, where the Dolphins have lost some depth players, and actually may not have their starting CB Byron Jones ready for Game 1 against the New England Patriots. At RB, no one back has looked particularly good in either game yet, so most of the work in practice will have determined the depth chart so far, plus, McD may just want to keep the Patriots guessing as to what our offense will actually be. WR is where a few potential depth guys have looked good, but considering we have the first 4 spots locked up with Hill, Waddle, Wilson and Ezukanma, add in the fact that we may carry 3 QB’s, plus at least one fullback, it’s possible only 5 WR’s make it, and not 6. Does Lynn Bowden Jr. make the cut, or perhaps Braylon Sanders, or River Cracraft, or veteran Mohammed Sanu?
Running back has been a tough one to figure. You would think you can write in Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert and Sony Michel, because McD and Grier just brought them here. Myles Gaskin was here already, but he’s a guy that has produced too. Salvon Ahmed is too much like Gaskin, so I guess it will be either or, if one them makes the roster. Rookie ZaQuandre White hasn’t seen much action, just 2 carries for negative 1 yards. Gaskin leads the Dolphins with 39 yards on 8 carries. QB Skylar Thompson is 2nd with 26. In other words, we really haven’t seen enough to have any expectations. ZaQuandre White does have a 19 yard TD reception, so there’s that.
It has to be tempered because it’s preseason, but I like what I’ve seen of DE Porter Gustin, and I think he has a chance to stick. At LB, both Cameron Goode and 3rd RD draft pick Channing Tindall showed some positive things. Tindall is a lock, but Goode may find himself a spot on the roster as well. At CB, Mackensie Alexander is done, (that was quick!), so guys like Keion Crossen and longshot Kader Kohou have a chance because of the injury situation. Iggy seems to be on the outside looking in. Everything I’ve seen from this kid in this preseason tells me he’s a not an NFL player. We did well taking a shot with Nik Needham, I think one of the aforementioned guys is also going to get a shot.
At TE, there’s been lots of chatter about Mike Gesicki getting traded. I don’t see it happening, but I’m not against it if we get the right return. Gesicki is a one dimensional player at the moment, a talented one, but still one dimensional. He’s a receiver, and hasn’t seemed to have embraced the blocking aspect of the position. Durham Smythe can do both, but he’s not as good as a receiver as Gesicki. Long hasn’t really proved he’s great at anything, and Cethan Carter gives you H-back flexibility and is a strong blocker. I think to myself, Durham Smythe, Hunter Long and Cethan Carter don’t put any fear into any defense, and while Gesicki isn’t a great blocker, he’s a top 8-10 receiving TE. Tough call there, but if they can get a starter where we need it for Gesicki, or a 3rd RD pick in the 2023 draft, go for it.
On the O-line, we’ve been protecting LT Terron Armstead, and Larnel Coleman has been given a lot of playing time. Coleman has been good and bad, as expected. Coleman was a 7th RD pick last year, and he appears to be locked in as Armstead’s backup. The 5 we know will be here are Armstead, Eichenberg, Williams, Hunt and Jackson. The remaining guys are Greg Little, Solomon Kindley, Robert Jones, Michael Deiter, Adam Pankey, Kion Smith, Kellen Diesch and Blaise Andries. Due to the fact that Armstead is oft injured, Coleman seems to be safe. Greg Little was a 2nd RD pick back in ’19 for the Panthers, so he has some pedigree, but we haven’t seen anything from him here in MIA. Lots of decisions. Our special teams is set with K Jason Sanders, P Thomas Morstead, LS Blake Ferguson, and KR/PR Tyreek Hill, Raheem Mostert, Jaylen Waddle and Jevon Holland. Just stay healthy guys, the roster will work itself out!

GO DOLPHINS!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
Trey Flowers too?
Can this roster get any more stacked?
He can step right in and contribute too,
because he already knows how to play.
These blocking schemes are excellent!
Sure worked yesterday, but not so much in the first two.
They didn’t run them in the first two
harbinger of things to come
I knew Tyreek was a good player, but thought it was just cause he was a blazing fast receiver with moves…. like a bigger Jakeen Grant.
Turns out he is an amazing receiver as well. Great hands to start, but he just adjusts to the ball so well. Must start tracking it in flight real early on.
We actually might be better off if Tua’s passes aren’t dead on. He can adjust to that but the DBs can’t.
misdirection + 7-11 = TD
So we did sign Trey Flowers. Not sure why his game has slipped, but he knows the style of defense we play.
RIP Jason Jenkins
Barry Jackson breaks down the choices to be made. Was surprised he thinks Bowden is a goner.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/dolphins-sign-flowers-exploring-tough-183324431.html (no paywall)
FWIW – I’ve been saying I don’t think Bowden makes the cut either. We’ll see
I can see Bowden might be gone, but not he definitely is. I’m at worst 50/50.
It’s because he doesn’t know Omar’s golden rule of playing STs
Bowden will make it
Who is gonna catch punts if they cut him?
One thing that became clear last night is time to say goodbye to Preston Williams. We’ll always have what could have been after those couple great nights together.
haha
I’ll still respect him in the morning.
“I was kind of bitter though. Because Tyreek had me by like point, I think point three, or something like that. He was like 21.7 (miles per hour) I was 21.4. So I mean, I wasn’t paying attention or anything. But I was kind of I was kind of frustrated with that because I know I’m faster than him.”
— Raheem Mostert, who “wasn’t paying attention or anything,” on his outside run for 26.
Just stay in the argument Raheem
I think McD may just prefer his guys, and Cracraft is one of his guys. Hill, Waddle, Wilson, Ezukanma, Cracraft and possible Sherfield if we carry 6 WR’s
Preston making it would make me mad, any of the other wrs can make a case
I think it’s a strong possibility those are the WRs we keep. I thought either Cracraft or Sherfield can handle returns. We already know Hill and Waddle can do it too. But I know we don’t want them doing it all the time.
Unless we have injuries wr5 and wr6 aren’t going to see more than a few scrimmage plays, unless Sherfield or Sanu are brought in to block
If I remember correctly Flowers is also a good run defender
Playing cheats, Ravens, Bills and Bengals to open the season, all of which run the ball pretty good, could be a reason for the signing
I believe Brennan Scarlett might be injured so it could because of that too.
Let’s say Preston makes it and is the primary PR, then muffs a punt or drops a key pass, that costs us a game
I’d lose it
“I’m 45 years old. There’s a lot of shit going on.”
— Tom Brady on his absence from camp.
What’s that all about?
Do just the 45 and just trying to preserve myself for the long season. But obviously was more than that, and the more he doesn’t want to disclose.
All we know is his absence wasn’t planned as Bowles said it was
Brady has NBA player type leverage, he could tell them he’s only going to play home games and playoffs, and they’d have no choice, but to say Okaaaay

Rookie RB CJ Verdell released by the Colts. I was looking at him as a 7th or UDFA pickup
Big rookie RB Master Teague cut by Steelers
Get ready for another lawsuit. Baltimore just released a Fagot. That’s discriminatory.
LB Diego Fagot this is.
Lol
WR Isaiah Ford released by Colts
No surprise cuts today which is not surprising. May be a few tomorrow but mainly Tuesday.
I think the teams are heavily in the evaluation process today and you’ll start to see it pick up tomorrow.
“Heading into the preseason finale, the Dolphins had only rushed for 86 yards on 32 carries – an abysmal 2.7 yards per attempt. A combination of the backs and offensive line stepping up allowed Miami to total 206 yards on 32 attempts in the run game – an extremely impressive 6.4 yards per rush.”
4.5 ypc fora 3 PS games
Think it a lot more about the differences than the average. But we ended up the right way going into next game.
The team played at a high level last night and that was really good to see heading into the season. They now have to make the cuts which is always tough for everyone, probably sign some guys, and they have 2 weeks to prepare for the Pats.
I was thinking Sanu might be a wild card to make the team. He’s a vet WR who knows the scheme.
He knows how to block, like MM wants, that’s my angle on him sticking
Yeah that’s why I brought him up.
Thinks that make you go hum
That’s horrible.
Antonio Gibson did it … he was dropping in the depth chart 🤷♂️😱
Too soon ??
Would that be Antonio (Tonya Harding) Gibson🤪
Don’t known if it was confirmed but consider it confirmed now

If we get a healthy Trey Flowers this could be a nice addition.

What MM had to gain was getting some guys on the same page and to keep them sharp
Here’s how I see our roster shaping up with a few unknowns.
QB 3
Tua, Bridgewater, Thompson
RB 4
Edmonds, Mostert, Gaskin, Michel/Doaks
FB 2
Ingold, Carter (TE)
WR 6
Hill, Waddle, Wilson, Ezukanma, 2 of Sherfield/Cracraft/Sanu/Bowden
TE 3
Gesicki, Smythe, Long
OL 8
C Williams, C/G Deiter, G Hunt, G/T Eichenberg, T Armstead, T/G Jackson (don’t know the last 2)
That’s 26 on offense.
DL 6
Ogbah, Wilkins, Davis, Sieler, 2 of Jenkins/Jones/Stille
LB 8
Phillips, Van Ginkel, Ingram, Flowers, Baker, Tindall, Roberts, Eguavoen
DB 10
CB Howard, B. Jones, Needham, 3 of Igbinoghene/Crossen/Hamilton/Campbell
S Holland, B. Jones, Rowe, Fejedelem/McKinley III
That’s 24 on defense.
K Sanders
P Morestead
LS Ferguson
3 specialists.
OL last 2 are Little and Kindley
I could have mentioned a few of them as I did at other positions, but I just don’t know if the coaches see versatility in some other guys who may be sleepers.
As for the depth on the OL I can see at least 3 on the PS. I don’t see teams poaching our 9-11 OL. We haven’t exactly been good or deep in past years.
Waddle
X
too low for X because he does not just cover and pick, he forces fumbles and wins games.
X is actually underrated. That’s why he and agent wanted to be paid. His production is top notch.
Reek Da Cheetah
I’d be very tempted to keep Kohou instead of Iggy, because i still think Iggy could lose a game for us.
I would put Doaks and White on the PS, because we have 2 fragile RBs.
I would cut TE Carter, but the coaches might not.
I would keep Goode and put Stille on the PS,
But signing Flowers might mean they both go to PS
I would cut Hamilton and put McKinley on the PS, but they might do the reverse.
They might put Crossen on IR to make the numbers work.
… …
I would find some way (keep fewer DBs maybe) to keep Cracraft, Bowden, and Sherfield because we need them all, and they all earned it.
I guess we have to let Sanu go, but Sanders can easily be stashed on the PS, and I’d like to keep him there.
Crossen isn’t hurt
“However, during the second preseason game Alexander, Keion Crossen and Nik Needham all went down with injuries.”

Yup! And scores TDs.
The NFL Network countdown to #1 of the top-100 players isn’t over yet, but I don’t suspect we’ll see any more Phins players on it. Would have been nice to see Terron Armstead, Christian Wilkins, and Jevon Holland on it, though.
It doesn’t really mean anything. 😉
I know, Bro… just sayin’! 😉
Naples, I’m not aware of the injury status on the roster though that will definitely play a role in the 53. I also think we’ll sign 2-3 guys like we just did with Flowers. We’ll know soon enough.
I don’t think Antonio Gibson gets released but he is a weapon being misused in Washington. They used him solely as a RB. He’s a WR/RB who’s big (6’2 220) and runs in the 4.3’s. Has power on short yardage runs.
If he is ever available, he is a Deebo type who comes from a spread zone run system at Memphis.
If he is ever available, I would nab him.
Hell, lets make a last minute trade of Michel and Preston Williams. LOL
I can’t stand it when teams play players out of position. I give you Dri Archer and Cordarrelle Patterson as examples.
^
How were Dri Archer and Cordarrelle Patterson played out of position? They were tried everywhere with their skill sets. Neither were reliable receivers but they were both explosive. Archer’s flame went out quickly in the NFL where Patterson has made a career for himself as a top notch KR, a depth WR, and lately a unique RB.
Lol I wasn’t saying he was going to be released.. he was getting a lot of hype as a breakout star earlier , then all the Robinson is better chatter started …. So now Gibson put the hit on Robinson to keep his starter status
Crossen isn’t injured, is he? How could we put him on IR if he isn’t injured?
That would be devastating. He’s like #4 or 5 on the depth chart.
I don’t know the status, since they don’t release injury reports like in regular season, but there’s this:
However, during the second preseason game Alexander, Keion Crossen and Nik Needham all went down with injuries.
I think Crossen played last night. I could be wrong but I thought I saw 27.
This
Feel really bad for him.
Horrible.
When thinking about the 53 you always have to take STs into account. Not every player plays on them and you need a lot of guys to play all those roles who have proven they can do it. Games are won and lost on STs too.
I don’t know the evaluation with Goode on STs but I think he flashed as a LB. He could be a sleeper if he did enough to unseat someone.
Why is Antonio Gibson considered a cut?

—————
First, Dri Archer. The Stealers* decided to utilize him as a strict RB… all 5’8″, 175 pounds of him, in the SMASHMOUTH AFC North. He got hit by an NFL D-Lineman and it nearly KILLED him (see Pat White). He should have been utilized as a KR/PR/WR like Jakeem Grant. I now know why he’s out of the league, but I’m sworn to secrecy (private matter).
Cordarrelle? He could never run great routes, dating back to Tennessee. But give him a quick-hitter and he’s DANGEROUS. He should have been unlocked a long time ago, with the realization that he can’t run routes like Keenan Allen or Nuk Hopkins. He should have been utilized as a RB/OW long ago.
Let it be realized, hindsight is 20/20, of course. But sometimes people try to pound round pegs into square holes for far too long… that’s all I’m trying to convey.
And then sometimes, it’s just a BAD idea to begin with.
I think they are who they are. Archer didn’t have a position and Patterson has has had a nice career as a multi-skill player. This reminds me of the Jason Allen excuses. He was never good enough to be a starting corner or safety. Depth DB for sure but that was it. Ronnie Lott and Rod Woodson were both pro bowl corners before moving to safety and were both pro bowl guys there too. Some guys are great football players and not just athletes.
The game tells us what players are. I think this not being used properly thing is overstated.
I think it’s contingent upon the eye of the beholder, and in most cases stated above, the GM and HC weren’t on the same page. I mean, there is NEVER a good reason to shift a player back and forth 50 times between two positions… EVER. It’s that simple, man.
On the other hand, if something isn’t working correctly and in patient time (or a BAD idea to begin with), perhaps it IS time for a position switch.
In this given instance, I think (I said I “think”) it might be time to make Iggy a Safety if he’s going to be cut or sent to the PS.
I’m sorry, but what Jason Allen went through was total BS. JMO, as always.
Agree to disagree. I don’t think football is that complicated. If you’re a good player you’ll adapt. Eric Rowe’s mind hasn’t been blown going from corner to safety. I think Jason Allen lacked urgency. Kind of slow-witted.

I LIKE! And agreed with Steve on the last two O-Linemen
At RB, I’m split between Michel, ZaQ White, and Doaks as our 4th RB
At WR, I’ve got LBJ and Cracraft as our 5th and 6th WR
At CB, I think Kader Kohou may be a surprise 53er
So MANY difficult decisions ahead of us…
Yeah for sure. Then signing guys we like better off of waivers. Teams always churn the bottom end of the roster this time off year.
I’m not usually a keep 3 QB guy but I think Thompson threw a monkey wrench into the mix. That is one of the most interesting decisions I think we have. Cutting Bridgewater is a $6.5M cap hit. But I do think a trade is possible if the team likes Thompson more. There may be teams who do not like their starter or backup QB situation willing to take him on for like a 7th round pick. I really don’t know.
Crossen is not listed anywhere in the box score.
I could be wrong but there is no injury info. on him either. The last thing we heard about him was he was day-to-day last week.

What I’ve seen from our offense under McDaniel is much more spreading the field and depth in the routes. We’re not running constant clustered bubble routes and mostly running out of the RPO game. The Bills defense which is very good is not going to be able to play 8 man fronts for long against us. They’ll try but once they get burned a few times they’ll back off. What we saw against the Eagles is the Bill Walsh playbook. Spread the defense out laterally and also go vertical.
The only way to beat it is at the LOS mano-a-mano. The 80’s NYG defense was the kryptonite against the 49ers WCO. They were more physical but they also got beat a few times. So we’ll play opponents who give us a hard time. But our defense has to do that too. That’s the balance.
Ever notice in PS, when a team is able to move the ball at will against another team, then they take out the starters, and are still moving the ball at will?
Noticed the cheats doing this some games in the past, Buffalo did it to Denver this year
My theory is the system is what is making this happen, we saw it in our game against the Eagles
Just a PS game, but the system works
I think it’s speed in every phase. McDaniel likes speed. Our defense is a speed defense. We want to be that on ST’s too. That wears on opponents.
Yes you need to be physical, but you have to be able to move and run.
We gave the Eagles a lot of bad tape to make 2nd and 3rd string decisions. LOL
The practices I went to Skylar would make a few great throws, then have accuracy issues, both practices. I didn’t see that from him in the PS, he seems to have settled down and figured things out. We saw Herbert not even know he was going to start and lit KC up his first game, I don’t see any reason why Skylar can’t at least play decent, if he was our #2 and had to come into a game
When you can use your legs, you have a big arm, and are pretty solid with accuracy, I think experience is over-rated, at least when comparing a Bridgewater to Skylar. I think the superior natural gifts trumps experience
I think Skylar is a better QB today than Teddy. He looks more confident and has more gamer in him. Teddy looks to me like I’ve been there done that and thinks he’s better than he is physically. That scares me. Reminds me of Brissett.
Skylar Thompson has never looked overwhelmed and making goofy mistakes. He has not looked like a rookie 7th round pick. We all know that. What do we do?
There are some extremely intelligent posters here and in all frames of life outside of football. As such, I was wondering what anybody’s interpretation of this image is…
The reason I ask? I haven’t the answer. For the sake of context, it allegedly came from “The Lost Book of Nostradamus”, released by the Vatican nearly a decade ago.
Is anybody good at translating images here?
What is that horizontal wooden-looking thing supposed to represent, for one?
If I had to give an answer, I’d say it’s Satan pushing a hot pipe on earth. Sort of a euphemism.
Interesting. What made you select this image?
I’ve recently been re-intrigued by Nostradamus… and I don’t know WTF is represented in this image, man.
There are something like over 80(?) images in his lost book, I think I understand most of them, but this one confounds me, Tim.
The Catholic church did NOT like Nostradamus… nor did he like them.
The Catholic church tried to do Nostradamus the same way they did Galileo if ya didn’t know.

Interesting! You may have something there.
My fav is this one…
That man above just happens to creep the shit out of me… it’s the way he was drawn/painted with ‘dead eyes’. Very haunting…
I don’t want to get into it but the Catholic Church is its own entity. They basically have their own city or whatever you call it with the Vatican. They’re a long time institution and influence on humanity. Both good and evil. I’ll leave it at that.
Looking at the bomb to Hill again, I wonder if it’s complete, if the pass is thrown right at Hill
The defender is right there, anything other than perfect in stride, I’d say it might be defensed
By throwing it high and inside, it allows Hill to break on it and go get it, very hard for a defender to break with Hill
They may start having Tua just throw it up and let Hill go get it
Probably at least once a game, until DCs can figure out how to stop it
You could leave a deep safety back there, but then you’d get destroyed underneath
Tua throws a very catchable deep ball, especially for Hill
We stashed Bowden on IR all last season.
If it came to keeping Crossen vs. not keeping both Sherfield and Bowden,
I’d rather put Crossen on IR.
He’s never been a big contribution on defense in his career.
That’s not smart, we don’t need another wr, we need CB help and he’s played good enough to hold down the fort, plus he’s a gunner ace
Bold prediction:
Both Cracraft and Ezukanma have played their way past
Ced Wilson in the depth chart.
Which is great even if only in my mind.
On the negative side it makes the signing of Wilson look bad, especially because he’s the 9th highest salary on the team. My guess is Wilson will be given playing time as the 3rd receiver and unless he falls on his face, or EZ or Cracraft are outplaying him, Ced will be the #3.
I think WR’s 1-4 will see a bunch of snaps
No Wilson is #3, EZ might get past him during the season, but not Cracraft
You know how we talk about people reading this blog. Well, I believe Grier and Co saw how many mock drafts I had us drafting Skylar Thompson. The rest is history.
Y’all are welcome. 😉
I believe that is what happened
Take him to court, if they won’t give you a referral fee🤪

That’s what I was alluding to last night, MM has put in a system, that allows almost everyone to succeed
NASA launch delayed, I might get to see it, if it goes off on Friday
Russell Wilson was a 3rd round pick, he lit it up his rookie year
Skylar can too, if he’s needed
The improvement from offseason program to now has been phenomenal
Looking at Skylar’s K-State tape doesn’t show a big arm, not sure where it came from
Now some rumors are that Brady was absent to have some facial cosmetic surgery.
He could be that vain, and his wife is in the Biz, sooo …
Still, I find it hard to believe that he couldn’t get that done at a time
other than Training Camp though.
Not like he’d have to wait for an appointment like we peons do.
Or maybe those celebrity docs have a waiting list as well.
Whatevs.
I heard it was “marital problems” Gizelle thought he needed to spend more time with the kids and take them to school and stuff…..
That would be my guess. He had some Back to School Sales to go to.
Can’t believe you’d even write that, sounds like a snide comment someone on here would post to make fun of him
I thought the same thing when I read the twitter posts.
Kinda snarky and all,
I mean, what if he had a real medical grade scare,
or a real marriage bed ultimatum from Giselle,
who is known to have wanted him to retire for years now.
We’ll see how it plays out, though.
The accuracy on the long pass to Hill was good enough that he made the catch.
Not only that, but it had a higher chance of being completed the way he threw it
It’s hard to connect from 51 yards when it was not wide open from blown coverage.
The CB got dusted at about 40 yards, but the safety coming over the top had an angle on Hill and was right next to him while the ball was in the air,
until Hill tracked it and turned on warp speed to go get it.
If we keep 4 rbs why not keep Ahmad as the 4th? He has had a better TC than Michel imo
Michel is the power back, need to keep one of Michel, Doaks, or Dr White
Michel is a 1st round draft pick from a major major NCAA power program who was drafted by bellicheat and has 2- one- thousand yard rushing years in the NFL.
I like Ahmed, but he is none of those things.
And, as Steve says, Sony has a needed skill set to add to the RB room.
Tua threw to a spot half a football field away with his receiver sandwiched between 2 DBs when he had to launch the ball,
and he had no red jersey, so there were 300 pounders falling all around him.
He said, he missed his target, he got lucky Tyreek is so good at adjusting
The safety was already running as fast as he possibly could, and the separation occurred literally in the last second.
That is amazing athleticism by Hill and by Tua to hit a moving target going that fast that far away.
Hill was going at least 20 miles per hour.
The ball is estimated to have traveled 56 yards in the air.
Hill gets big $$$ to make those catches.
As far as leading him,
I’d rather it be a 51-yd completion and down by contact
than a 60 yard attempt that just goes off his outstretched fingertips.
Tyreek is super fast and quick, he likely doesn’t make that catch if he’s 6′ or over
His quickness and processing allowed him to adjust to the ball
To me that is one of the fun things about football.
I mean let the average athletic person try standing in their front yard
and tossing a football down the street,
hitting a guy on a bicycle down at the corner crossing the street at full speed
sandwiched between 2 other guys on bikes there who hate him.
Jackson on his sack didn’t give up, like I initially thought, once the DE was free, there’s nothing Jackson could do
He was actually beat early in the play, before the DE turned the corner, so let him go and hope for the best or hold
Forget about the sacks, Trey Flowers is an exceptional run defender, something we didn’t currently have, great pickup
His passrush numbers are down of late, because he’s been injured, but when healthy he was good enough to get a fat contract
Potentially a really nice rotational piece. He obviously still has enough draw from teams to wait until training camp was over and sign right away.
And it begins
Absurd he says. ABSURD!
Another guy, that can move inside on 3rd and long
We’ve got some good running teams coming up on the schedule in Sept, he may be playing on 1st down
Muuhaahaaahaaahaaahaaa!
I don’t find that alarming at all, lol.
Lol, yeah, it’s as expected
In that same no win situation we won
I’m sitting here wishing we would just make all our cuts at once and get it over with, lol.

The #Dolphins have until 3PM Tues. to cut their roster to 53 players. @DrewJRosenhaus tells me he thinks Miami will keep 4 RB’s w/ the odd man out being Sony Michel (Keep Edmonds, Mostert, Gaskin & Ahmed). Do you agree? #FinsUp #NFL #NFLTwitter
Michel wasn’t good in PS
Would like to see a somewhat power back make it and probably Dr White over Ahmed
We do have Ingold
I’d like a more skilled back in there, someone with RB vision
Still haven’t seen any contract numbers for Flowers
Signing isn’t official yet
I just posted a picture above OF HIM SIGNING. It is official.
One year 2.something with a chance at 3Mil with incentives
cheers
They are starting to fall
SANU GONE
Eligible for PS. Not saying he’ll make it there.
Quick fly by
It’s not the same to underthrow a deep pass and not be able to complete a 65 yard pass
It’s like Fonzi said, to get a reputation you’ve actually had to hit someone
Tua will have to hit Tyreek in stride deep once, before this talk goes away
Gosh
if Mahomes would’ve just led Hill, it would’ve been 6.
Pfffft !!!
FFFFFF youuuuu, T’Baum.
That’s why you got let go, bro.
It’s called selective criticism
Thing is
Doaks showed quality ability.
Pankey has been a utility OL for years.
Sanu has been a WR2 for several NFL seasons.
These ain’t trash don’t nobody want.
(Maybe we released them first to be kind and give them max chance at being picked up before the mass release.)
Meaning also, they are deemed of no use to us, no loss to us if signed elsewhere.
Meaning also, we, like bellicheat always did,
are protecting our most cherished guys till the last minute,
so maybe they slip through waivers,
and we get to keep them for our PS.

Sanu I believe doesn’t have to go thru waivers Pankey may not either, Doaks does
Boy, they are selling it. LOL
Curtis Weaver cut by Brown’s
He might be the worst prospect I ever looked at, he doesn’t have quick twitch, he has no twitch, his game doesn’t translate to NFL, too slow too weak
Here you go Kong
I hope we pay him 3m
^^^
We got a $90M player for $2-3M.
A guy who already knows how to win in the league
and a guy who knows bellicheat’s OL philosophy.
Nice work, Grier.
👍
LOL

LOL @ the Fonzi reference coming out of nowhere!
Ayyyyyyyye!!!
😀
It didn’t come out of no where, I reached in deep and pulled it out😝
LOVED IT!
ESPN’s version of the top-100
The 2022 list is also going to have Snowman, Phillips and Tua and possibly Ogbah
Yessir! I can see it, too.
Getting SOMETHING for an UDFA would be……well, SOMETHING.
A trade for anything but a 7th would shock me
Yeah. Like a 2025 7th
Flowers is 6’2 265, so, stouter than Phillips.
31.5 sacks in 3 full seasons and 2 half seasons.
10 forced fumbles, 7 fumble recoveries, 7 pass deflections.
He has an 89.8 pff grade in his career.
and 37 tackles for loss, 86 QB hits
time for him to chew up a Big Mac…
LB Munson and OL Blaise Andries are gone
just not talented enough I’m afraid
good men though
Why does anyone care what Tannenbaum says about QBs? Dude traded for Favre after his wheels fell off, drafted Mark Sanchez, and traded for Tebow. What the knows about QBs could dance on the point of a pin.
^^^^
He comes across as insecure, jr highish, like he’s still trying to get back at someone in the Fins organization, that said something about him
^^^^
similar to Brian Griese and Chris Simms whining
These FMU response emails are filling up my email inbox, how do I stop them????
yeah… very annoying!
where did that come from? I never got any till the last few days.
Somebody needs to turn that off at the blog site on Word Press.
It’s like Dan Patricks says, “you can’t them, you can only hope to contain them”. LOL
Honestly, I dunno… I’ve never had that problem, man.

Think by asking you just got 4 more e-mails. 🙂
What emails? Are you being notified that comments are being made? I think when you log in, there may be a dialogue box that if checked, you will get notification emails
thnx
Steve & Naples, Click on your avi in the upper right of the screen (next to the bell) and
1. view complete profile.
2. on left side of next screen click Notification Settings
3. MANUALLY UNCLICK all the boxes.
Somehow even though I have the setting set to “Disable” all the boxes are still clicked. I unclicked them and hit save and the issue stopped. (no more e-mails for posts in my inbox)
thnx
I did that yesterday it hasn’t stopped them
did you hit “save” after? Might sound like a dumb question, but that’s what I did yesterday and it worked. (started happening to me Sat Morning.)
I will try it also
Darius Hodge got cut. That might be the Flowers roster spot.
I find it very interesting to see who like the posts on there. Often there are a bunch who I have never seen blog here, so I have no idea how they find the articles, but there is always someone who isn’t a regular liking the posts.
Jim Everett Table Toss liked this post.
Now carry this over into the regular season!! !! !!
And Tyreek was only in for a total of four plays.
I’m drinking the Kool-Aid

We ended up with
Sec 323
Rows 18-22
Seats 21-28 (plus 2 more tagged on the end of a row).
323 is the flip side (opposite corner) of what we had last year on the visitor’s side, but our rows are like 5-6 rows further down. And the 8X4 square on the aisle is nice.
Bad news is the price is more at $85 per ticket.
Thanks for doing the grunt work on this, Stanger.
No problem. But for the record this ain’t grunt work, it’s cat herding. 🙂
why I don’t like cats
but hey I meant that comment as extreme gratitude, for without you this whole Fest thing would not exist and i think it is way cool.
Was just making a joke…. looking forward to seeing you.
Steve, there are also FOUR tabs along the top of the page where you unclick the choices. You have to go to each tab and unclick them. The second tab “Comments” Is probably the one hitting your inbox.
