Dallas Thomas

Thomas is simply not improving. After three seasons you would think someone would have gotten the memo. Unfortunately Thomas serves himself well enough by showing just enough to make coaches believe he is making progress. Thomas is so inconsistent that you don’t know what you are getting play to play let alone week to week. At best he is a back-up and worst he is a player that should never have made it to the team. Instead, he is a starter. And we wonder why the offensive line struggles like it does.
Jason Fox
There was a time when Fox was better than average but it wasn’t with the Dolphins. Fox came to Miami prior to the 2014 season as a free agent after spending four years in Detroit. He should have stayed. Fox is dependable. For allowing sacks and missed blocks. On Sunday Fox looked like he was having a career day for the Dolphins through two quarters but the 2nd half wasn’t good for him and he was mauled by Bills’ defensive end Jerry Hughes. Fox has also been consistent in one area, penalties. Like Thomas, he is at best a versatile back-up who can come in to spell a player throughout the game but due to injuries he has been forced to start. That hasn’t worked out well for Fox or for the team.
Kelvin Sheppard
In 2010 and 2012 Sheppard posted tackle totals of 70 and 80 respectively for the Bills. The Bills let him go and his production dropped to 46 during his one season with the Colts. Miami saw fit to bring him in as a free agent ahead of the 2014 season. In his first year he registered 24 tackles as a back-up to Koa Misi. This year Sheppard has started all eight games and has 35 tackles on the season. While that would seem like an improvement statistically, most of those tackles were not made at the line of scrimmage or for losses. Sheppard has struggled in pass defense and run defense all season long and while he should have remained a back-up the Dolphins didn’t have the foresight to realize that if they needed him to start, they were asking the wrong person.
Greg Jennings
When Jennings was signed as a free agent many believed this to be a smart move. The Dolphins needed a veteran wide-receiver with great hands and great route running. They got the latter not the former. Jennings’ inconsistencty has only consistently hurt the team. He has dropped more passes this season than any other that I can recall but it’s not as though I followed him with the Vikings or Packers all that closely. Jennings is not the same player he was while in Green Bay and he shouldn’t be taking up a roster spot in Miami. Most assuredly he shouldn’t be taking up an active spot on Sunday. With Matt Hazel waiting for his shot the Dolphins should be taking a look in that direction rather than wasting their time throwing a 3rd down pass in the direction of Jennings.

Article is titled, 5 Dolphins players who shouldn't be on the team, and lists four.

1, 2, 3, 4, . . . potato :idk:


Anyways, I have no issues with Jennings being on the team. He's a reserve veteran WR. He's valuable in that aspect
 
Dallas Thomas and Jason Fox should be shot. Sheppard is a back-up at best and Jennings I have no issue with as a mentor and veteran reserve.
 
A mike that averages about 4 tackles a game. Thats amazing. He is truly awful.

They forgot to add Walt Aikens. I would put him at #1 and take Thomas off the list. At the very least, Thomas is a serviceable backup LG.

Really....shot? Because they are not very good football players...I'm ok with firing them from their job, but killing them isn't the answer.

Jennings is going to count for $5.5 million cap hit next season(30th best OF ALL wide receivers in the NFL)
that money would be better served paying Matthews and sending
Jennings off to retirement
 
I can think of 4 more :chuckle:

OV is taking up a starting spot. He needs to be benched.
Damien Williams is not doing too hot. I know Gray was just cut, and wasn't exactly killing it, but I'd rather Gray be my backup behind Miller/Ajayi than Dicky Williams.
Taylor is just not a very reliable corner, nor is Brice. I would start giving Lippett and Bobby McCain some more snaps and see what we have there. Need some tape on them before we go draft more CB's next offseason.
I would like to see Mike Hull play instead of Sheppard or even Misi. Trial by fire.
 
Where's Tannehill at in all this? Lol...woulda bet money his name would have shown up by now...
 
Theres no question Jennings is one and done. Use his money for Mathews. Or maybe to extend Jarvis. Landry, Matthews, Parker, Stills is my WR corp for next year with Hazel on the wings.

What an absolutely disgusting post.
 
You could wake me from a drunken stupor and I could give you about 13 that have no business being on this team.

I honestly don't care if the metaphoric use of a term offends you. I find it disgusting that YOU would take such a thing literally.

But just to ease your sensitivity, I'll rephrase ... Dallas Thomas and Jason Fox should be taken behind the woodshed and beating to a pulp.

Hope that's better on your delicate senses.
