Carey moved to RG

No disrespect intended , at all , however his being overage is and was a hugely important factor.

Wheeden is even more of an overage player , and I see some noted talent posters saying he is a potential 1st round pick , and imo that would be gravely wrong. Jerry was an overage player that played well , not great imo , and that he played as well as he did was a direct result of him being significantly older.

I have experienced this for many years in sports , I played at a pretty competitive level in three sports and then was involved in scouting in one of them ( hockey ) . Many states have a rule that if you are born past a certain date in the calender year you can not attend grade one till the next year and they also have sport rules in this regard. His age , for me was a factor , and while I thought he was a good player , I felt he was drafted too high and am not surprised to see him making no impact. None.

To me being overage is a bright red flag , and you have to be very dilligent in evaluating these players. Miami took a couple more this year but their circumstances are different and they were drafted later , and one has rare speed which we desperately need. You have to evaluate each player on his own , but an overage G had me very very cautious .

well if your talking overaged players i want to say i read somewhere that our 4th round pick edmond gates is 26...so his shelf life is considerably shorter than other wrs in the draft

Right now I think a homer hacked your account! ;-) I get it you are shocked and disappointed you thought he was gonna lock it down.
 
Interesting that in posts #120 through #152 we're talking about John Jerry and even Brandon Weeden, when basically the Dolphins just informed us that Marc Colombo is our new Right Tackle. I assume that got covered in the first 120 posts, lol.
 
Why do people refer to Tony as an offensive line guru?

He sucks.

Columbo at RT?

hahahahahah

Either that or there's a great many that would rather just pretend it didn't happen... at all...:lol:
 
I don't think he was ever that great with run protection. Our RG spot has been suspect and our Rookie center can always benefit from a veteran such as Carey. Great move in my opinion but he still has questionable impact on the run game to me.

This move was CLEARLY made to put Colombo in the starting lineup. Garner ain't starting . . . you kidding me, Tony wants to dance with his cornfed friend from Dallas.

I dont think anything is set in stone except jake at LT. five best guys rule...if garner is the best of the five he plays....garner can play guard and tackle...and center in a chicago bear pinch

I mentioned that . Shelf life isn't the prime issue , though it can come into play. Wilson is also older .

Gates played another sport , got started late , and played catch up as it were . Jerry's situation was very different , and it isn't his shelf life , as olineman tend to age better than most if not all positions , it was that he was competing with a couple years of extra experience , strength and coaching ... plus the 2 players selected this year were not 3rd rounders.
 
Good thing our division rivals have no pash rush (outside of Rex Ryan's secondary blitzes). I much prefer Carey lining up against Haynesworth over Incognito.
 
Colombo is just the starter now. We will still make moves and he will have to fight it out
 
Anyone know anything about John Jerry's lock-out vacation to get in poor shape? Don't recall hearing anything about him.

Did he spend it at home, participate with team workouts in Miami, ???? Wonder if his brother has similar issues?
 
I wanted...
Long
FA LG
Pouncey
Incognito
Carey or FA RT

I do not think Incognito can play LG, but he can RG and C.

Oh well. That is not a bad line they have. Decent depth too.
