Alonso has a unique view of a giant question mark surrounding the Dolphins and their 2016 roster at this point: Dion Jordan. The suspended defensive end/linebacker for the Dolphins, their 2013 third-overall draft pick, has applied for reinstatement from the NFL, but has not yet been allowed to return to the team. He was suspended in April 2015 for a third failed drug test, this one for a diluted sample he provided, a sample he says he was worried would show alcohol in his system.

Alonso and Jordan were teammates and roommates at Oregon. “That guy is a freak athlete,” Alonso said of Jordan, “so I think he can help any defense, because he (has) such a rare athleticism that can do all types of things.”
Asked if Jordan is more of a defensive end or a linebacker, Alonso replied, “I think he’s very versatile. He can rush the passer, He can cover. He can play the run. I think that’s what makes him so special.”
Jordan’s place with the team - and his desire to play football - will be a question mark surrounding the team throughout the summer. Asked what Jordan’s mindset is heading into the year, Alonso replied simply, “That’s a Dion question.”

But Omar says Jordan is out of shape..

...and the offensive line has not improved . :rolleyes2:
 
Kiko is Dion's buddy and he hasn't been shy about encouraging him back. I would believe Kiko's assessment of Jordan's physical condition ahead of Omar Kelly's. Kiko is actually an athlete who trains hard. Omar is a sh*t stirring tweeter.
 
I don't get it. I really don't get all the negativity. Jordan is a perfect fit at LB in the wide nine. He should start in 2017 when Misi is gone, or sooner when Misi is injured.

Or on passing downs right away, especially against the Pats two headed monster in Gronk and Martellus Bennett.

Why all the bitterness and sour grapes toward Jordan? He didn't trade up for himself; it's Ireland who is worthy of your ire in this matter. Ya, the kid made some mistakes. I would bet the farm if if these were the coaches when Jordan was drafted, none of this shizer would have happened.

I think it's more disappointment than anything else. Most of us with life experience don't make excuses for individuals who squander great opportunity through poor choices. They are his choices after all, right? Those choices affected the team, it's image, and his teammates, no? Are we blaming the prior coaching regime for his mistakes? Whatever happened to personal responsibility and accountability?
 
My opinion is all the Jordan threads should be in the General NFL forum as he is not eligible to play, therefore not Dolphins related. If and that's a big If he is reinstated, then he is Dolphin related.

Wait the pats got martellus Bennett??
 
There's a lot of research out there that indicates the male brain doesn't mature until about 25 year of age. Here's hoping on DJ.
