Does Miami make a move?
Does Miami make a move?
Oh boy. Can we get a running thread for NFL training camps so there's not a thread for every player released?
And no thanks.
PFF ranked him their #16 OG last year.
Why no thanks tho? Dont know anything about this dude?
He's 33, he's a career backup, he's injury prone, has played one full season in his entire career ('15) and missed the last 4 games last season with a hamstring injury.
PFF ranked the Eagles OL No.1 heading into the 2017 which left quite a few people up here in Pa scratching their heads and asking, really? Lane Johnson was their only solid contributor and that was only for the last 6 games of the season before serving a 10 game PED suspension. One can argue his performance was based largely on his ultra-motivation to prove himself after letting down his team and fans.

"Allen Barbre finished with a PFF final grade of 80.8, but that was between splitting reps at left guard and right tackle. Barbre was ranked among the top three left guards in football before Lane Johnson served a 10-game suspension."
I watched quite a few of their games and Jason Peters struggled more than his PFF grade would lead you to believe.
I am not going to pretend like I sit here and grade out each NFL OL unit, let alone each individual player but something is really out of whack with their rankings. Eagles need interior OL help and with a base salary of 1.25 Million in 2017 something doesn't add up (with PFF's rankings)
I wouldn't be looking at Barbre to help this roster.
My response is more about pro football forcus than Allen Barbre.
can he play center?
