There are too many wanna be mods on here. This is, in a way, Dolphin's news. We had Kyle Turley in for a visit. All the poster was saying was why did we not sign him as offensive lineman instead of trying him at TE, I believe this is relevant to the Dolphins. People need to stop being so anal. Also thanks to the poster for the info, that is a question I was asking myself. TE, I believe, is not a pressing need for us, but you cannot have too many offensive line players.

I have no idea why the Dolphins didnt sign him.It could have been that they were afraid of his back problems.To play RT Turley will have to add quite a bit of weight.That additional weight could aggravate his back injury which means he would be on the bench a lot.

IMO the Dolphins made a cost benefit analysis and decided it was not worth the risk.The Chiefs decided it was.

Basically Keith Heirich is a better and cheaper gamble than Turley....

Thats a good reason.Turley was expecting to be paid top notch veteran money at the position.

A back injury is bad for an O-linman.

Taht would be my bet.

I agree.. but like I always say.. better to take our frustrations out on each other than our families...... if your one to do that sort of thing.
