Would love to see a 1st/2nd down formation with Benito on the nose and some rotation of Wilkins, Godchaux, and Davis on either side of him. Good luck moving that pile!
Dolphins sign Benito Jones

Yeah, but I hear in the end, they hanged him out to dry.

With benito signing we could see a DL of lawson, Wilkins, Godchaux or Davis and Ogbah
With Benito, Sieler and Godchaux or davis in backup
IYO weaver will be put at OLB or DE ?

No. Strongly doubt that. Godchaux is part of the rotation. We now have potentially real strength on the D-line and Godchaux is part of it.
BTW - he's also a terrific team oriented guy. Saw a video a while back where he personally cooked cajun seafood meal for all his D-line teammates. They're all good eaters and he can cook. Definitely a very popular teammate.
I see Davis as a 3/4 DE as well. He'll hold up the run game.

Same effect as Raekwon Davis...but 5 rounds cheaper.
I think they are doing everything they can to not have to over pay godchaux. i don’t think flores signs off on paying him top IDL money. Vet good player but just doesn’t match the price point
Brian Flores was excited enough for all of us.

I don't see Godchaex getting anywhere near top defensive tackle money. I don't see that other teams will be beating down the door and offering a ton of cash for what he brings to the table.
There's no way he's 260!

Dang! Dude can penetrate.
Very quick! Might have a legit shot at the roster, yes?
Miami lacks a true nose tackle. So it made sense they went after a few UDFA types. As for Godchaux, perhaps he'll sign at a discount? But if he doesn't, comp pick in return should be nice. A similar contract to DJ Reader is what I'd think Godchaux is looking at.

Tua time!
Tapes better than I thought for a udfa. Not a lot of finish but he doesn’t seem to be getting much help from anyone else around him.
I expected him to be drafted, so definitely like the signing. We need more bodies on the interior DLine, although i've always been a fan of Seiler and his raw potential.
Benito played on a really bad defense and was doubled on a majority of snaps i saw.....which is part of the problem because he didn't handle doubles well. He was on the ground or turned quite a bit. If his future is at the 1, he'll need to improve his anchor.
When singled up, he held his own. I watched him walk Damien Lewis and Cushenberry into the backfield on pass downs. In other tapes (Arkansas comes to mind) he was quick off the snap and able to punch through the A gap. He's not a 1 trick pony with only a bull rush....he utilizes multiple techniques.
