Guard Jake Scott visits Dolphins

[hoops]

holdups probably another damn low ball offer...i would like this signing...the philip wheeler one should it happen doesn't make a lot of sense to me...

 

[J Tes]

He definately didnt have the money to sign Manning

So are you trying to say that he had no intentions in signing Manning and was just going after him to be able to say he tried? If Manning was interested they would have cleared the money to make it happen

I'm not putting words in his mouth, but if this team doesn't go hard for Manning the fan revolt is gonna be a lot worse. And they've gotta know that.

That said, I think the interest in Manning was legitimate, absolutely.

 

[hoops]

ross would have given his left nut for peyton manning...cap be damned...had manning said yes we would have cut half the roster if need be to get it done...neither ireland or philbin was gonna be able to change that

Any word on Jake more than just this visit? This is would be a great addition and help ease my worries. I want 5 starters on the line without shuffling and playing jenga every damn offseason, I want our line to gel and gain that chemistry. Sparano should of realized that chemistry is more than a word and how is truly plays a role in the lines progression!

Any ideas on what the lineup in going to look like this year? Lets say we get Jake and then working with who we have right now. Lets be realistic, we always get our hopes up just for another letdown, F this team and how much I love them!

Im saying he was too stupid to realize how much manning was going to cost

 

[hoops]

nah dlockz...ross didn't care what manning cost...money was not gonna be an issue if manning had said yes

Likely:
QB Moore
RB Bush
FB/TE Clay
WR Hartline-Bess
TE Fasano
OL Long-Incognito-Pouncey-Scott-Murtha/Jerry

DL Wake-Soliai-Starks-Odrick
LB Misi-Dansby-Burnett
CB Davis-Smith
S Marshall-Jones

Thats going by what we have now, plus the addition of Scott. I fully expect the draft to find upgrades at WR, DE, OLB, S, OT. Obviously not all positions will be upgraded, but those are the most pressing IMO

we would have had to cut a few players and we just didnt have the cap room. ireland has not done a great job with cap

 

[hoops]

we made everyone in free agency wait cause ross told ireland til we know what peyton wants to do nothing that could impede us from that gets done...

as for the cap i think the capologist blows when i see the way some of our contracts have been set up...we need to be smarter

Nice I was just surprised you have marshall at safety? Do you think that was our motive for the signing? Man I think we get Bell back for a lot cheaper or make a stopgap pick up and then use Marshall in the nickel.

I need to look up some game footage and see how Jerry was when he was playing T. You think he's starter material around the league?

 

[hoops]

i read on here somewhere that we put a 2nd round tender on lydon murtha this offseason...does anyone know if thats accurate???

Quite true and way too much money to tender on a player who has done basically nothing , we did the same with Merling also. I would like to keep mERLING but we could have tendered them at a third round level. If we lose them big deal we get a third round pick,.

merling got a 2nd round tender??? thats just stupid...only way i can even remotely justify that is cause these guys thought they'd lose both solia and langford but if thats the case this draft is damn loaded with high end dline prospects...loaded...

as for murtha that tender tells me that they envision him barring eric winston signing for a less than market deal as the front runner for the starting right tackle job...or at minimum they believe in him as the guy
