I personally like Grigsby better myself. I went to the game last weekend in Jacksonville, all the way from Pensacola, and i have to say that Boomer is an animal on special teams coverage, he can catch the better than Mauia out of the backfield, and he seems to grasp the system better than Reagan. Now im not saying I dont like Mauia, im simply saying that if this was my team I'd start Grigsby week 1. His leadership skills are better, and he is much higher energy. tell me what you think. GO DOLPHINS
 
I agree the guy seems more driven - could be experience -vs- youth. One thing that really caught my eye is that after first contact post reception he leans into the tackle and picks up another yard he doesn't seem to go down as easy as Mauia and logically I would have thought the opposite.
 
who is the better run blocker? whoever it is, thats who i want. i realize people want pass catching FBs, but they might get one chance a game at a reception. run blocking should be priority #1 for a FB IMO.
 
grigsby, I never liked mauia and thought he should have never been drafted

I agree....although I'd like to see the position upgraded next year.
 
I like Mauia, but I agree with those who have said he hasn't shown enough to stick, because he clearly he hasn't. I never understood the hype with Grigsby, he doesn't impress me at all. The Dolphins may have to go to the Draft again if they want to find a better FB. Of course there's a FB competition going on in Denver, between incumbent Cecil Sapp, and rookie Peyton Hillis. If Hillis winds up as the loser in that battle the Dolphins should pick him up on wavers. If this team wants a FB that can both catch, and run block well, Hillis can do it.
 
I'd go with Grigsby, Mauia has had way to much hype ever since running through that paper thin wall, if you can even call it that. He plays softer than he should with his size and he can't catch or pickup more than two yards on a run.

reat point and something that i have wrote about before, and its not just recent that ive discovered and maybe yourself as well but that man juggernaut goes down easier then the girls at the bunny ranch.

For two years ive noticed it, its weird, didnt think anyone else noticed.
 
I like Reagan for one reason. When Reagan blocks someone square you can actually hear the hit on TV above the din. That defender is just done. Grigsby can do more but when he hits you he does it wioth average power. I think Muaia hurts you more when he blocks you then Grigsby does
 
It'll be sad to see the Juggernaut go...

okay, it won't be that sad. I think Boomer Grigsby gets the nod.
