Andy Cohen's Two Cents on the Draft.

I was just about to post this. But definitely a good read nonetheless, even though it might have a bit of bias coming from a writer for the Dolphins site.

Especially liked this excerpt:
Sure, there are still holes to fill. Isn’t that always the case? The Dolphins need some youth at nose tackle and some depth at linebacker. But you can’t solve every problem in two days. You’ve got to take steps, some large some small, and you’ve got to make choices that you won’t regret.

Thing is everyone knows Parcells loves big fast pass rushers. If one where avaliable that Parcells liked I garuntee we would have drafted him. Plane and simple there wasnt one avaliable so he drafted guys that would fit other needs. Overall I thought we had a solid draft. Only time will tell how solid.

Sure its one man's opinion and one of the few positive ones out there but it's from a guy who follows the team closer then the talking heads of ESPN and any other network. The only problem is guys like Cohen don't get any media exposure outside South Florida so when you have Kiper and co. as your only available national media voice, you'd tend to listen to them more than maybe listening to someone more local who just might have more detailed insight regarding the team.

Props to Cohen, whether he's right or not.
 
Look, I like Cohen but I stopped reading his stuff because the guy is such a homer. Has he ever said anything critical of Miami? This guy was lauding Cam and Co. and the lame draft Cam orchestrated.
 
Andy Cohen is the biggest homer in the history of homers and he has never had a bad word to say about anything the Dolphins have ever done. He writes for the Dolphins organization and he gets paid to be a shill for every move that they make.
I love how Cohen assumes in his article that Pat White is going to step into the NFL and immediately become this multi-dimensional threat that has mastered several positions outside of quarterback. This assumption is laughable. Pat White has no desire to be anything but a quarterback, and in his 4 years at West Virginia, he has never attempted to be anything but a quarterback. To even have the slightest thought that White will help as a receiver or a running back, especially as a rookie, is pure buffoonery.
And let's not get this idea twisted either. Pat White was drafted to be a wildcat/spread offense quarterback, and that is exactly what the Miami Dolphins are now trying to install on a more full time basis. Rather than building around our quarterbacks of the present and future in the Chads, the "trifecta" has now devised a ludicrous scheme to install a college offense into the NFL. All of this based on what small success the "wildcat" offense had last year. It was nice while it lasted, but it was shut down by good defenses.

I'm not happy.

I am sorry that you are unhappy, but I will wait to see them on the field before I condemn the whole class or pat white. It is what a rational fan would do. I am so crazy that I may want to watch them play in the pros before doing calling the draft a bust.

It was shut down because they put 9 in the box as they were calling Miami's bluff as to a wildcat pass.

With White back there they won't be able to do that. He will be much more of a passing threat then Ronnie ever was, and that could really open things up.
 
Pat White is going to see time at WR also, not just QB. Mark it down. This offense is going to be in formations that will match him up on LBs and Safeties as a WR.

Hey, I hope I'm wrong and Pat White leads this wacky wide open offense to light up the scoreboards in the NFL. But I doubt it.

No doubt Cohen is a homer. His blind dedication to the team is legendary.

However, you seem to be as blatantly negative of this draft as he is irrationally in favor of it.

He does assume alot on Pat White. However, you seem to assume that White will fail. Thats just as laughable. White is a QB. That's all he has ever been. And in college (which is all we can judge any draftee by) he did things at QB that no one else ever accomplished. However, he isn't being asked to take over the fulltime reigns at QB this year. He's not. He is going to be asked to play a certain role in a certain group of formations that the Fins have had more success with than probably any other team in the NFL. And it is a role that he seems uniquely qualified to fill. To not admit that is, to use your words, "pure buffoonery".

But you don't quit there. You assume to have knowledge that the trifecta wants to install a college offense. I would love to hear where you are getting your info. Do you have inside knowledge? Are you privy to top secret information? To me that charge is, to be polite, ludicrous. Next year, sans White, we will have one QB under contract. Who in their right mind wouldn't want to address that now? I think that undermines your own assertion that we are not building around the "future of the Chads".

You are entitled to your opinion. However, your bias seems to be just as irrational as Cohen's support.
 
I thought people were finally done with Cohen's stuff around here. The guy is a joke. We could trade Ronnie Brown and two 1sts to the Lions for Daunte Culpepper and the guy would be out there talking up the pick. I know he writes for the official site and all, but damn.
