Why don't we know what Liam Eichenberg's contract is?

Its ****ing weird they won't release this information. It's no where to be found.

This is all I've found and there is no way this is correct

Miami Dolphins place their faith in Liam Eichenberg with a $10M contract aiming for a turnaround in his career

Witness Liam Eichenberg's career turnaround with Miami Dolphins' $10M contract renewal and NFL positional shifts.

If this was 25-30 years ago I’d agree but the days of shutdown corners are gone. Even the most elite corners get worked. It’s such a pass happy league and the rules are geared towards the offense that corner isn’t a very important position anymore.

Chop also did not disappear for any period of stretch. If you watched him he was a menace playing in limited reps. For whatever reason Miami loves to baby their rookies so he was only seeing 15 or less pass rushes a game, hell his first two games they only let him rush the passer 8 times. After the bye he pretty much got 20-30 pass rushes a game which is when others started noticing as he was getting home with sacks which is usually what people pay attention to however if you watched him he was showing elite rushing ability from the very beginning

Corners aren't important anymore in a pass happy league ... this post was not off to a good start. You can root for your team and like the pick but don't go making **** up to fit the argument.

He didn't really get on the stat sheet until week 7 and didn't do much of anything the last 2 games. He had 5 solid games and disappeared a bunch in between. The guy had 26 tackles with 6 sacks and you're making him out to be the next coming of LT.

He was on the ground less and showed a wider variety of moves as the season went on. Saw some nice speed to power later in the season. But I'd go ahead and pump the brakes on expectations here because you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

Lmao dude uses pff total grades to try to make an argument.

You’re so far behind in this debate, it’s abuse at this point. You’ve made zero actual points. The fact you think you win anything shows a level of delusional that’s almost unprecedented. You’ve ignored every point I made after I slaughter everyone you make. Find a new topic forum because your football iq is just about a 0, it’s embarrassing at this point.

You've been wrong about everything this offseason. Not just this topic, which is a total troll job by you, unless you don't watch football, then I guess your tunnel vision on only dolphins players makes sense,

Everyone with a brain knows Mitchell and BTJ were better players last year.

You've been wrong about the "maximum restructuring" your views on Tua, your views on McD & Grier.

I honeslty can't think of a single thing you've said all offseason that's even come close to being correct.

They aren’t. There’s no such things as a shutdown corner anymore. They are too exposed to new rules to the point where they either get exposed or defenses can simply obliterate the weaker players in the secondary. This is much different than a pass rusher that can impact every passing play even if they don’t record a stat. Great cbs can be neutralized and taken away, you need to alter game plans to take away great pass rushers. Post was never off to a not great start, your understanding of the game is the only thing that’s not off to a good start.

The rest of your post was addressed already in further detail but I’m not going to type it again because you probably won’t understand it.

Been right about everything especially when it comes to you. You’re the lowest level of football IQ around here.

The max restructuring was me trolling you though but you’re even too slow to understand that.

In any argument you’ve failed to make a single valid point while I rip every made up point you’ve made. We need a special short bus section of the forum so you can feel more in your element.

Why are you even here? You’re not even a fan of this team. You like the bucs. No self respecting fan has two favorite teams. That was the thing to do when you’re like 8. Although would make sense if you were 8 though with your pee wee level football IQ that you’ve shown in nearly every post.

Spot on. It's all about the pass rush. A great pass rush makes average DB's look great. A weak pass rush makes great DB's look awful. I still want Miami to improve the pass rush. Miller lives in Miami. Even at 36, I'd see if he will sign a hometown deal to stay home.

I also wont be shocked if they draft an edge guy in the first round.

There's no way they gave Eich 10 mil dollars this year. They aren't THAT stupid. I can't find any contract details but have a hard time thinking Ethan White who writes for that obscure site could have access to the contract details and the Herald and others don't. Kinda think that the author put an extra zero on his contract numbers

That contract would be at least 5x greater than it should have been (actually 100% more than it should have been) and if they bid against themselves for one of the worst OL in the league then they get what they deserve.

and the article title is also trash- you don't put faith in a guy by giving him a one year deal

There’s a reason edge rushers make more money than cornerbacks, they are more important.

It’s also pretty easy to be a cornerback when your team is causing havoc by never blitzing in a Super Bowl.

I prefer oline or Kenneth grant but won’t be upset with another edge rushers. Only thing that makes me not want to go edge is due to the sheer resources we’ve put into edge with 3 1st rounders between Phillips/chop and Chubb but understand Phillips and Chubb are massive question marks.

It's a dead giveaway when you have to resort to me not understanding football.

So the big takeaway is the guy on the field for obvious passing situations has a bigger impact than the guy who never leaves the field and is glued to the opponent's biggest weapon. Cool cool cool.

No need to reply. I think I've had my share of condescendingly stupid.

Mitchell was never their number one so no he wasn’t glued to their biggest weapon.

It’s not debatable, pass rushers are more important. They don’t pay the janitor more than the CEO do they? We just simply have to look at salaries to determine what teams view more important.

Don’t mean to be condescending, just explaining something you don’t appear to understand. Edge rushers are more important, it’s that simple.

He will next season ... while Chop comes in for sub packages. Mitchell made their best corner expendable ... while we're holding out hope Chubb and Philips can limp their way back into the lineup.

End being prioritized over corner doesn't make 1 player better than the other. Something you might have failed to grasp ...

What they will be next season is irrelevant to what they were this season.

Mitchell was elite in nothing, chops pressure per rush and win % is up there with future hall of famers and the best in the league. That’s why chop was better, playing a more important position/role is just the icing on the cake.

I’m sorry if I was a dick, you’ve been here a while I respect you. You just got in the middle of my crosshairs with the other guy and I was disrespectful so for that I’m sorry. Edge is still more important though lol

 

[ForksPhin]

Half a dozen.... you ready.

1) Inability to scramble for 1st downs

2) Inability to run a QB sneak

3) Inability to escape the pocket and find an open man down field

4) Inability to throw off balance with accuracy or power

5) Inability to use arm strength to throw bullet passes into tight windows

6) Inability to hit guys in stride on go routes.

7) Inability to stay healthy

8) Inability to run an offense that doesnt rely on getting the ball out in under 2 to 3 seconds

9) Inability to read defenses

10) Relys too much on timing of routes to compete passes

11 ) awful at receiving snaps while in shotgun

12) consistently under throws WRs on passes where ball has to travel 30 yards in the air.


There, I gave you a dozen. And that was written in like 60 seconds, takes no time at all to think of these things.


I'll go one further and tell you the triats he can do.

1) good at getting the ball out quick on designed short route plays.

2) good accuracy on short to medium timing routes

I honestly can't think of a third trait he does well. Ohh hold on

3) good at talking **** on the fanbase

Does it matter if some of them are nonsense?

And here I thought draft picks sliding to the top of the depth chart (on a SB winning team) correlated pretty strongly to them playing well during the season in question. Silly me.

It doesn't matter in the end. The Eagles will keep on winning while the fins will lurk in irrelevance and make their fans do gymnastics to justify why their draft picks are better than the team winning super bowls.

I have news for you bud, there isn't a single poster on this site that's been more accurate at predicting things around here the last 12 months than I have.

You say I make no accurate points, when it's I, who uses data in my debates. I dont use blind optimism like you do.

You bring no data what so ever to your conversations, none, so the fact you think I have low IQ, is par for the course because you're incorrect about everything else, I'd actually be worried if you thought the opposite.
