with X and Ramsey getting older, who is a better fit to move to safety, and still be worth the tail end of his contract? Holland with greater speed could play center field when needed and the other guy more of a rover / closer to the line
And Marion.Just for comparison purposes. This group of DB's is the best group Miami has had, since Jimmy Johnson had Madison, Surtain and Buckley.
Couldn’t have said it any better myselfI couldn't give less ****s than what anyone at BSPN thinks whether it's bad or good. Eff them straight up their jabrony asses!!!
From eating jalapeños, to talking to the Filipinos. From eating at cheap joints, to talking to joint chiefs.It's unreal how that unit has gone from outhouse to penthouse in such short fashion. Can't wait to see it in action!
Don't you think the outhouse had more to do with 3 guys going out with injuries? Just getting healthy brought the Dolphins up to top 10 in the league. The additions put them on top.It's unreal how that unit has gone from outhouse to penthouse in such short fashion. Can't wait to see it in action!
Correct. They were very talented last year. The issue was the injuries. The Cam Smith pick was all about BPA. It had nothing to do with need. We'd still be at the top of the list if we hadn't selected Smith.Don't you think the outhouse had more to do with 3 guys going out with injuries?

You mentioned Grier having an “inside look” at Cam Smith? How/when was that? Did Smith visit? Can’t remember.I thought Miami would go defense at #51. That was the strength of the 2023 draft. I also thought it was possible 5 TE's would go before #51. I certainly didn't think Cam Smith would be there. I mentioned in the draft forum, Miami was very Interested in the CB talent, because they were all over, the CB's early and often during the pre draft process.
As it turned out Grier had an inside look at Smith and he took him when he was available. The TE's eventually went in the later part of round one into the top portion of round two. And if it weren't for Washington's injury situation, he may have gone much earlier than he did. Overall 4 TE's were selected before 51 and Miami chose to pass on Washington for Higgins, in round six.
Cam Smith was the forgotten man. A kid with lots of talent. Hopefully Grier's instincts turn out to be as good as they were when he took both Howard and Holland in round two.
As for ESPN, if Needham returns to form, Kohou makes a jump and Smith has an impact, I agree Miami's CB's can be dominant.
Yes we did bring Cam Smith in for a visit two weeks before the draftYou mentioned Grier having an “inside look” at Cam Smith? How/when was that? Did Smith visit? Can’t remember.
The problem with analysis is that most of these posts simply use reputation as the driving factor. I would say the other reasons are because of players like Kohou, Needham, and insert anyone stepped bigtime for us. We should know feel more confident in other players filling in when any of our starters are injured. Finally, with Byron Jones out, we are automatically gonna see an improvement in our secondary with Ramsey (not because of reputation alone).ESPN analyst ranks Dolphins CB unit as best in the NFL
With two former All-Pros they had to be pretty close to the top.dolphinswire.usatoday.com
Cool, thanks.Yes we did bring Cam Smith in for a visit two weeks before the draft
Hahaha. Yes, X and Ramsey are getting older. You could have stopped there.with X and Ramsey getting older, who is a better fit to move to safety, and still be worth the tail end of his contract?
