Merged: The Dolphins claimed defensive tackle

[Bigbucks24]

According to the article, 7 other teams put a claim in on McGill. That's a lot of action, about a quarter of the league was willing to hand a roster spot to this guy after the 53 man cut date. That's a pretty good sign for the guy's talent. The impetus for so many claims being put on him seems to be his play in NFL Europe where he garnered first team all-Europe honors at DT. With only 1 sack and 17 tackles, obviously the dude did it on word of mouth as a run stuffer too, so that speaks highly of him. Seems the Jets really wanted to try stuffing the dude on their practice squad again but could not manage it this time around after everyone got a look at the dude in Europe.

Good analysis, ck. Thanks.

SF wasn't one of the 7 other teams were they? That would blow since Nick apparently wants him.

Weird, that wouldn't be the guy I would want to claim, but then again I mean they are the ones that watch film on these guys and evaluate so whatever.

Yep was surprising considering that Howard Green was cut from the Saints (ex LSU) and he plays NT / DT.

I'm sure that nobody expected this signing but this is definitely a BIG :fatman: signing, Tim McGill is definitely a BIG guy. 6'2" 320lbs I like it.

Funny thing is he probably does look that wide considering he's 6-2.

Then we might have someone yound backing up the Tractor Traylor. :D

Jets fans are dissapointed that he was cut. He's a load to say the least...

 

[Dphins4me]

Who?

No one. He is camp fodder. Just someone without an upside.

 

[Jaj]

Actually he isn't. Go look at ganggreen.com

Actually he isn't. Go look at ganggreengang.com

What am I looking for there?

 

[Jaj]

Go for look they're cut list and a title called McGill in their main forum.

Extremely promising. One poster after another is upset the Jets let McGill go. They seem to think he has more upside than the young DTs they kept, including a 3rd rounder.
