I've been gone for a while and while I wouldn't flatter myself to think that anyone missed me (or noticed I was gone), I feel some need to express my thoughts on the offseason moves so far. Here goes:
1. Porter.
I love this signing. We need as many playmakers as possible. Do we have bigger needs than weak-side LB? Yes. But having JT and Joey Porter rush the passer simultaneously makes me drool. I don't care how old he is or how much money we gave him. He'll be a stud for at least 3 more years, and then we'll cut him is he runs out of gas.
2. Welker
Gotta love the scrappy little dude, but you also gotta love a second round draft pick. Yes, its #60, but I'll take it.
3. McMike
I think I hated this guy...maybe that's the wrong word, but I didn't like Randy one bit. Hard to root for a wife-beater. None of us are saints, but this guy is a piece of work...and he dropped the ball too much. He made a lot of noise, had a lot of potential, but never took it to that other level on a consistent basis. Cam and Mueller got stones for cutting this guy. Bravo!
4. Mare
I think getting rid of him is a mistake only because of the touchbacks. They're just so valuable.
5. The moves we didn't make
I wish we could have upgraded the o-line, but the salaries that marginal linemen got in FA were absurd. Hopefully Hauck can make miracles.
6. Culpepper
I hope this guy is ready. If he can play at an above-average level, I like our chances. I really want this to work out. I think Pep is a good dude and deserves another shot.
7. Ricky
Please stay in Canada. Mark my words, if he puts on a Dolphin uniform again, another crazy thing will happen like another drug suspension or retirement.
He's burned me twice and I don't trust him.
8. Chambers
If we could trade this guy for a 2nd rounder, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
9 The draft:
BEST PLAYER AVAILABLE. That's the guy I want. We have so many needs (except for RB), I would not be upset if we drafted any position (except for RB).
10. Ronnie Brown
This is his year to show what he can do. I'm a hypocrate for making excuses for this guy and killing Chambers. 2007 is his year to shine. If he doesn't get it done this year, he never will.
Overall I'm happy about the post-Saban world. Go Dolphins!!!
