Stop talking about it,go out and do it and then you will get some respect.

Let’s start with the numbers: Miami Dolphins defensive end Andre Branch got a big contract (three years, $24 million) and his production decreased, going from 5.5 sacks in 2016, to 4.5 sacks in 2017.
The reality is the 28-year-old Branch still made 14 starts despite battling groin and knee injuries, and the knee problem was so bad it required surgery last month.
“I’m not about to get into specifics about it,” Branch said of the procedure over the weekend, “but it was much needed.”
But set all that aside. It’s in the past.

Should have never given him that type of money.
 
Ahh, I wonder if he can give us another 5 sacks in 16 games. Some production!
 
Why play a gimpy Branch, didn't we have healthy bodies who may have been more productive? Fede?
 
Healthy or not, that contract will forever be impossible to justify.

The most dolphins thing ever will be when he has another solid 6 game stretch in the middle of the season - finishes the year with like 7 sacks - the fins don't take the out in his contract because DE is a premium position and Wake is old and Harris hasn't developed as planned so they don't want to leave the cupboard bare - and he has another invisible year so they cut him with a higher cap hit and lose out on a season to develop a potential replacement.

Might as well etch that **** in stone.
 
Between Alonso, Branch and drafting Harris, those were 3 decisions on d that were a big mistake.
