Dolphins claim Taco Charlton

[broccoli rob]

Dallas was planning on taking Charles Harris or Takk McKinley with the Taco pick.

NFL can't accuse us of not wanting to win now....lol

Not to mention they get the Dallas defensive scheme. A page right out of the Pats playbook.

Weren't we trying to trade for him initially? Now we've got him for a reduced price! I don't think he'll be any good, but it's still ok with me.

People who said we are tanking must feel silly now.

No they were feeling too much pressure

Here's his highlights if you got the time.


For real though, he did show some signs of life at LDE. Just couldn't get the snaps because Demarcus Lawrence went from disappointment to hero that year.

Think he took the lack of playing time the wrong way and acted immaturely from it. Maybe here with a lack of competition he can blossom more with playing time.

Or just suck and be quickly forgotten.

Dolphins claimed DE Taco Charlton off waivers from the Cowboys.

The Dolphins are ... trying to make their football team better? It's certainly a new one. Of course, there is a reason the 2017 first-rounder was available in the first place. Charlton figures to be a healthy scratch for Week 3 but should see defensive snaps as early as Week 4. With just 827 career snaps to his name, Charlton has never made a box score impact.

Excellent post.

For those of us who appreciate wicked sarcasm.

Tank or no tank, just be.

How many firsts can Grier get for Taco is the question we need to be asking...

“Got the time” that’s brilliant use of sarcasm! It’s 33 seconds of highlights! LOL!!!!

I agree with you, little risk to the signing.

 

[Lionstone]

I guess we went from tanking to tacoing! Uggghhh!!! I can’t stand how bad that pun is. You must hate it!

Had to happen...

Seriosly though, I liked him coming out of MI, but I saw him as more of a second round talent, and thought the boys reached in that regard. He had a questionable motor, and work ethic, but the physical attributes were there.

Having said that, it's a low risk signing. Actually a no risk signing. If we can get anything at all out of him, it's a win.
