Dolphins cuts thread

Yeah, we have a ton of potential in our young RB's which makes me believe that Drake will be dealt before the deadline. I like Drake as he's a Marietta native, but he's in the last year of his contract & we need o see what we have in Balage/Gaskin/Laird.

NE likes to use multiple RB's and we could be doing the same thing

I'm excited for laird. I have him as the biggest breakout surprise for our team.

Mine is either Preston Williams or Sam Eguavoen
Laird does have potential at both RB and WR hope they cross train him

we may not win a ton of games but this team is gonna be a pain
in the a$$ to play! Lot's of energy and fight!

I hear you but I like drake as one of the young guys. I want to finish his contract. We have the back up to let him walk and factor into comp strat. I want him a lil more with the fins.

I haven't seen. Are you able to cite any. I'm praying for Rudock to pass waiver. Do these surprise impact him.

I hope we're not cutting a RB just to keep 7 WR's

If you're looking for a big back to get occasional big back yards then Hyde makes a lot of sense. Drake, a somewhat similar player to Duke, didn't really make that much sense.

The good news is the cutting of Tank makes a way for Ledbetter to make the team. I think Ledbetter has a bright future.

They need 4 at DE. Harris, Carradine, Orchard and Ledbetter were shoeins. Hendrix should've been stashed on PS.
All this means is they are betting on scooping up a DE, better than Carradine, after the cuts.

Like I said earlier, they might hold on to him and keep trying to trade him in the next few days

I hear that but I think Egu and Williams played so well that it's not really a surprise. I watched Preston for Colorado. He is no surprise at all. His off field screwed him. But I agree these two are special.

Walton is an excellent special teamer, along with Laird. May be one reason we are rolling with 5 RB, and only 5 LBs. The last LB normally plays ST predominantly anyway. And any of these guys aren't safe depending on what's out there from other teams cuts.

It's 4pm so what gives?
