Coaches will limit Miami Dolphins rookie Dion Jordan for remainder of season

We need to start subbing him in as one of our OLB's. Wheeler has been bad, and Misi has been banged up. I can't believe we had Trusnik in the game so much on Monday, over Jordan and Jenkins.
 
They can not develop nor utilize the abilities of their players.
 
With the way Wheeler has been terrible, we should resign Soliai and ask Vernon to bulk up a bit and go back to the 3-4. Wake and Jordan would be great as OLB and Ellerbe and Misi could play the inside.
 
I bet dion Jordan hates the coaches secretly in his head he probably is laughing at them for being so dumb
 
Man, the level of overreaction on this forum lately is truly epic. Hyperbole is the new understated.

Look, we knew when we draftedhim that he has elite athleticism but is underweight and rehabbing a busted shoulder. He is a 34 OLB, and he needs to bulk up for that. Converting him to a true 43 DE was always going to be a multi-year conversion. Why risk that shoulder putting him in there to get blown away by road grading 300 pounders? So we can have an unsealed edge every run play?

If you could draft a Can Wake, JPP, Aldon Smith caliber talent and were told it would take a couple of years for him to adjust ... wouldn't you take that pick? All indicators seem still on course for him to get there. Don't rethink the plan now.

If you want to point to fail picks, look at guys like Dallas Thomas or Phillip Merling, not Dion Jordan. He is actually making an impact despite not having a second move, despite limited playing time, despite being undersized, and despite being injured. The guy is clearly going to be good.

A top 3 pick doesn't ride the pine for a couple of years, they're supposed to be full time starters from the get go.
 
I can't ****ing stand this coaching staff. So in over their heads. Gutless, unimaginative, clueless. NONE of us who watch the team are surprised Rishard Matthews is performing, but it's some huge shock to the coaches. Ridiculous. Jordan does nothing but show flashes which are like a giant neon sign over his head screaming that he needs more playing time. He would be having a monster rookie year on another team.

12 snaps. it's been 9 weeks. his shoulder should be just fine for double that number of snaps. Finally, if you want to make an excuse for the misuse of Jordan fine... but I've yet to see Anyone explain the gross misuse of wake on critical downs. And they still aren't moving mike Wallace around trying to create mismatches. it's an epidemic with this team that they cannot figure out how to utilize elite talent.
 
i'm ok with a situational rusher only in year one due to the fact that he's got some issues on the edge at end as a run defender but and i stress but that is provided when we do get in those situations where he should be on the field you know he actually is...and he's not been thus far this season...

as for any lb run sounds like that's a no dice this season at least...i sure hope he's working on developing his rush arsenal cause right now it's not enough to sack the qb double digit times a year against nfl tackles consistently...he's clay to mold but his pass rush needs TONS of work...

actually his entire game needs tons of work from playing with leverage despite that more than ideal height to being a consistent win finish pass rusher...

just odd you take a prototype 34 olb in the top 5 and miscast him in a 43...well not that odd with us i guess

Not only things like this but its how stubborn the staff is. We're like the only team in the league that doesn't flip its corners. Im tired of seeing our 3rd or 4th db on a teams #1 on 3rd down.
 
it's gonna be hard for him to overcome issues in the run game leverage wise at de when he's over 6 ft 6 and light in the pants...they need to either tell this guy to pack em on and try and get a every down de out of him or they need to let him play off the los more and use his athleticism and closing speed and make life easier for him by not asking him to beat nfl tackles off the edge so much

right now they seem confused about what they want...

i still think barkevious mingo would have been the better scheme fit as all he ever did at lsu was come forward and rush with a hand in the dirt...that's more what these guys want with their edge players in this scheme
 
sigh...another ring in the circus. clowns everywhere. surely they will all be gone at season's end.
