Hello To All.... Just want to pass along a couple of things about the news that the Dolphins coaches are preparing to convert Rb SEDRICK IRVIN over from HB to FB.
You can say its a rather obvious move by the competition at HB.... as behind RICKY....you have TRAVIS MINOR, ROBERT EDWARDS, LEONARD HENRY...and even more importantly now....there has been a blazing surprise over there...and his name is CHARLIE ROGERS.
The main reason though is this...and I have to sadly say this....because I really like this player---but there is no way else to say it... DEON DYER is at 265 pounds....and has missed his assigned weight at 255....for the third consecutive time....which in WANNY's house....that means 3 strikes...and a one way ticket to the doghouse...until he gets the messege.
And even though it is not yet official....make no mistake that the messege was indeed sent out today.....with the SEDRICK IRVIN reports....that he could be moved at FB....which just makes sense...regardless. But the bottom line now....is the fact that DEON must get down to 255 real fast....and not only that....from what I am hearing....is that NORV has been even more impressed with the development of FB FEMI AYANBADEJO...as FEMI's time in the 40...and his overall strength in the weight room has improved from last year....and right now...from a desire standpoint....this off-season so far....FEMI just seems to really want this job much more than DYER....and quite frankly....DYER really needs to have a tremendous training camp...I believe...now...just to make the team....and that also includes playing well on special teams.... from this point on...it will be interesting to see how DYER responds.... but again....is it too late? NORV just seems to see FEMI as a better fit in his system....and again....bringing him back once again to battle with DYER....you know he just is not enamored with the bruising style that DYER brings...and NORV did not have to convince WANNY that hard after last season anyway....to invite FEMI back...as it was that close.
The latest news on GADSDEN.... Apparantly at a recent fishing celebrity fund-raising tournament last week.....GADSDEN told good buddy...SAM MADISON...who then told Channel 6 sportscaster...JOE ROSE.....that he plans on ending it all....by the end of this week...as far as him giving the entire football world....his final decision. His ever-popular agent....MIKE TODD has recieved a call from the JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS last week....who may be inviting him in for a visit by the end of this week. The JAGS are also interested in talking with Antonio Freeman....and JJ STOKES...but the bottom line is that are looking for insurance for DONALD HAYES....who was first thought to be out for a long period of time....but seems to now be coming along. It appears that the JAGS are just keeping all these players in check.....but in MIKE TODDS case.....he probably is telling GADSDEN that a visit for sure...and an imminent offer will shortly be coming...by the JAGS.
Gadsden is definately interested in the JAGS....mainly because he wants to play close to home. He does not want to leave the state....he is recently married...with a baby on its way. He just seems to have to much pride to play for the veteran minimum....and never would have believed that he and his agent would ever end up this close to the unemployment line....but the reality now is setting in.
From all indications....if the JAGS do not move on GADSDEN---b y the end of this week.... Gadsden will basically end it all....and ultimately tell TODD its time to get back to work----and that means that he would be ready to join the DOLPHINS in time....for the last Quarterback School next week.
There is no doubt.....that the DOlphins do have enough room to get GADSDEN in the fold at the veteran minimum of just a tad over $500,000....and that would be a 1 year deal....meaning that Gadsden and TODD can play the same old game next year...if they choose to do so.
Personally to a man....just about everyone OG has talked to on the DOlphins....are telling him to get his a-- back in camp...and now....it appears that OG himself....is ready to swallow his pride.
ANd again......if OG returns to the DOlphins at the league minimum..... there is one guy laughing all the way to the bank....SPIELMAN....and one guy....who may never again...ever get to represent another client....in MIKE TODD.
I think ORONDE GADSDEN needs the MIAMI DOLPHINS more than the MIAMI DOLPHINS need ORONDE GADSDEN....and you don't need SEAU's permission to use that kind of analogy...
A steal for the league minimum....and the DOlphins are once again...like GRIESE....a better team than they were yesterday...
