NONE of this helps us w/the main task, which is beating N.E., and that means dealing w/TOMMY BOY. Anything else relegates MIAMI to "second best"..."also-rans". I've had enough of THAT. MIAMI needs a pass-rusher or two, otherwise WAKE's impact is lessened. Where have you gone, Joe DiMag...oops...I meant to say JASON TAYLOR. Remember JT/ARMSTRONG? Seen many COLTS games? Pressure from BOTH sides is a QB's worst nightmare. So let's get WAKE some help on the other side, and see how TOMMY BOY handles pressure from both sides along w/a push up the middle leaving no "pocket" to step up into!!
I'd try to sign BOTH JENNINGS and WALLACE, and re-sign STARKS, CLEMONS, SMITH, HARTLINE and BUSH. I'd play ODRICK at the DT position, where he belongs, and cut McDANIELS, CARPENTER, MARSHALL and PATTERSON (for starters), saving c.$14.5 Million cap $$$. Along w/a couple more cuts and restructuring some of our "fat cats", i/m/o MIAMI could be at/over $65 Million in "capspace" w/little-to-no trouble at all.
This year's Draft class isn't a good one for WRs, but it's a very good one for pass-rushing DEs and OLBs. So I would draft at least 2 pass-rushing DEs, and I'd use our 1st and earliest 2nd to do it. I'd look to move up w/that earlier 2d by offering any/all of our later 3rd, 4th and 5th Round Picks as "trade bait". The later 2d is reserved for a T, and our earlier 3rd is RAMBO. Any picks NOT used to move up are reserved for a CB. Lastly, our 7th and any "compensatory" pick are for "flyers", as Coach PHILBIN and IRELAND see fit.
I would NOT trade down from #12. And I won't be re-signing J LONG.
