I think a pony may have been involved.Isn't he related to someone on the team?
Or is he the one with the pictures of Stephen Ross nobody wants getting out?
No way that they'll pick that up on a part time RB.I just saw the Patriots are unlikely to pick up Sony Michel's 5'th year option. I think he would be a terrific option this year for us.
Yes, kind of seems redundant but he had a promising rookie year. Also, has experience with Tua.The Foster signing still stumps me... of all the guys we signed, he seems to have the longest shot of sticking. It's almost like we decided to sign him just in case we didn't draft any receivers.
Now... if he can win the punt or kick returner job (or both), then maybe we'll have something.
First of all, there are only 3 or 4 spots in play this year, most of the roster is set barring injury or training camp melt-down.

As you can see, I've left a number of current Dolphins off the roster. I can't see Smythe, Munson, Eguvoen, Grant, Pankey, or Hollins as actual prospects to make this team unless there are injuries (and maybe not then). I know that some of these guys have been around awhile, but we're better now... it's time to thank them for their service and let them move on.
The guys listed in red are the targets. They better stay healthy and hope none of the UDFAs shine.
If I've inadvertantly left anyone off, I'm sure someone will let me know and I'll adjust this.
Maybe back up to Fuller. Couple on finheaven have said Fuller is injured alot...The Foster signing still stumps me... of all the guys we signed, he seems to have the longest shot of sticking. It's almost like we decided to sign him just in case we didn't draft any receivers.
Now... if he can win the punt or kick returner job (or both), then maybe we'll have something.
I would pass jmo, gaskin is better.I just saw the Patriots are unlikely to pick up Sony Michel's 5'th year option. I think he would be a terrific option this year for us.
Agree. I don't think Perry stays over Wilson.They both could be gone.
That is pretty close to spot on.
I think Grant would make it over Wilson, but you could be right. Foster actually might make it over both of those guys. The wide receiver battle will be very interesting.
Don't forget at NE it was customary for supposed safeties to play CB and vice versa. They liked guys with that kind of flexibility and it looks very much as though Miami is going the same way. So i don't think the fact they're ex CBs is a point against them, i just think Boyer and Flores feel their secondary can be a lot better.Bobby McCain and Eric Rowe are both Cornerbacks playing Safety.
Not that there's anything wrong with that (especially if you're Rod Woodson, late in your career).
But I have the feeling that if two actual Safeties shoe up (Brandon Jones and Jevon Holland, maybe?), neither guy will be starting any more.
Having a TE coach as co-OC, with Gesicki on the roster as a pure flex and our oline probably still needing inline TE help, a lot points towards a heavy dose of 12 personnel with Long inline.Eichenberg's technique seems to be the strongest in the passing game. Hunt is our best lineman, and excels very good in the run. Keeping him in the inside is best. Waddle is expected to line up in the slot, but the word slot, x, and etc is thrown around way too much now a days. Is very possible that Miami will run a lot of three receiver sets, single tight end, singleback sets. Or they can line up the tight end in the slot, and waddle as an x in some play calls. Bottom line is that we brought in Waddle to contribute, make defenders miss, catch and run in tight spots. A role that we attempted to use Jakeem Grant with in a way, but a lot more expanded with our play calling.
Since Perry is listed as a RB/WR, maybe they will stash Doaks on the practice squad and use his spot for Perry and keep Wilson.One revision I'd make is Wilson is gone and Malcolm Perry sticks.
Nice! I am guessing you are pretty close to what we will have. On paper, we are beginning to look like a damn good team! I am curious as to how this will leave us salary cap wise.First of all, there are only 3 or 4 spots in play this year, most of the roster is set barring injury or training camp melt-down.

It's early, but 2022 could be mostly a defensive draft.I've got LB on the list for our possible 1st draft pick next year.
Baker may leave, McKinney is on a one year trial, and Van Ginkle looks like a good, but not great player.
I know that the NFL has devalued the position, but if we can secure a 3 down, star linebacker with the right personality who can call the defensive plays... we've got our target.
Agreed, Wilson has always been a YAC beast and I don't see the same traits in Perry or Stone Hands Grant...Agree. I don't think Perry stays over Wilson.
