Andrew Abramson ‏@AbramsonPBP 44 secs45 seconds ago

[DisturbedShifty]

Cost say I blame them for wanting to talk to Gase over Belicheat. Dude never actually answers any questions anyway.

Armando Salguero ‏@ArmandoSalguero 52 secs52 seconds ago
Adam Gase tells reports "your sources are terrible" when he's asked about moving Walt Aikens to cornerback. No, not me.

 

[Digital]

Good. I don't know how Aikens will progress as a safety, and clearly he needs to progress considerably, but I'm already convinced that Aikens just doesn't have it as a CB. Maybe the press will be a revelation for him, but somehow I doubt it.

 

[Beach Bum]

I can see why people like Gase. He's easy to talk to. That was like we were sitting around a bar or in our living room talking football.

 

[Kdawg954]

Man some good stuff to take from this interview.

First . . . Adam is heavily involved with personnel. He has had a heavy influence on what direction we have decided to go this offseason. Whether it be Bushrod playing 5 positions in Chicago during practice . . . or playing against Maxwell and the challenge he presented against his offenses.

Philly trade netted 3 starters for 1. Which is what many who understood the trade realize.

He also says he tried to acquire Kenny Stills when he was in Chicago . . . plans to get him more involved.

No thoughts on Dion Jordan but sees Chris McCain at DE, which is pretty interesting . . . would have to assume the Washburn acquisition is going to really help a guy like McCain.

Has told the young CB group on the team (Taylor, McCain and Lippet) that jobs are up to grabs . . . work.

Step up time for Dion Sims

Wake calls his own shots at this point . . . luxury.

Love Landry, which we all do. Loves the chip he plays with.

Seems real humble but at the same time there is an honesty with him that Joe Philbin did not have. Good ****.

Thoroughly enjoyed the live video


Only put up the tweets for the forum

 

[Travis34]

Thanks so much for posting this uk

A lot of good stuff here, he doesn't seem shy about answers questions at all. Imagine what we might've got from Philbin or lazor right there

 

[Beach Bum]

Thoroughly enjoyed the live video

Thanks for that. I had no idea what Periscope was. Glad I installed it. Now that Finsiders is going to end soon, I have a feeling that this is where things are going regarding Dolphin's digital media.

Just a live streaming app, they can send one guy along with a mobile phone to record the event instead of an entire camera crew. its less reliable than a proper live stream though.

You can watch it from your pc without an app as well

 

[Sons Of Shula]

Gase talks too much. Definitely not the next Belichick.

 

[MD]

Pretty well solidifies what I thought about Tannenbaum working with his coaches instead of forcing personnel on them. He did it in NY and no reason to think he would do any differently in Miami.
