Oh man I really really really hope Evans starts tokin up again that would be so sweet.
I'm only stressin DG's release cuz he's not playing DT. I'm not fool enough to say that Gardener's "lost it" or anything when he's on the field cuz its just the opposite. He's at his PRIME on the field. Last season he was a man among boys before he went out with injury. But thats just the point, his injury problems are forcing the dolphins to move him to defensive end so he's no longer going to be a force at DT...he's going to try and be a force at DE and I'm here to tell you the positions ain't the same. Unless DG can magically manifest 5x the speed he shows at defensive tackle, he's not really gonna be a sackmaster and if he's not a sackmaster he's just Kenny Mixon on roids.
With all the money we're payin DG, is it worth it just to have him fill the same role just as, maybe a little bit more, effectively than Kenny Mixon? Like I said before, the only thing that makes it worth it is DG moving back to DT on passing downs...and I hope if the coaches decide to do that, that Gardener's back will hold up...but I have my doubts.
