Plunder The Saints/The Right Off-Season Moves

[utahphinsfan]

The Steelers are one of the best teams in handling the cap and if Keisel and Harrison do walk, they have their future replacements in Heyward and Worilds, so i doubt they would want to trade picks for Misi. They also have another young ILB who's name I can't remember.

I believe you are referring to Stevenson Sylvester also drafted out of the U of Utah in 2010 like Misi.

I think it is forgone conclusion that the Dolphins will be drafting a QB this year. I just thought everyone realized that.

As far as cap difficulties in 2013, who knows, things change. I am not a fan of Marshall. He drops easy passes and most of the time on deep routes he is clueless. He is a terrible ball tracker.

He also some other issues that could get him a full season suspension. Ya, I wouldn't have any trouble with replacing him in 2013. I wouldn't have a problem if they traded him to the Jags or Vikings or whoever this year. I'd take a 2nd and a 5th for him and draft QB Brandon Weeden and WR Marvin McNutt.

I agree we will draft a QB this year; but if we are in win now mode, that QB better be NFL ready unless you think Moore can take us to the promised land. Thats all I was getting at regarding QB. I'm not sold on Weeden being a big time QB by 2013. But, I'm not a scout or GM, so what do I know, thats just my personal opinion.

It is frustrating that Marshall has been dropping passes, but our receiving corps would be terrible without him. Maybe he focuses more under a different HC? I can dream, can't I? lol

Hire Pete Carmichael Jr. to be HC.

Sign Aaron Kromer to be OC. Kromer has been interviewed for a HC job. He is responsible for the OL and the running game of the Saints offense. He would be an excellent coordinator under Carmichael.

Sign Carl Nicks to be LG. The best LG in the game. Pay him and let Soliai walk.His demands are just too much.

Sign Aubrayo Franklin to replace Soliai if, if? we stay in a 3-4. I like the potential of that CFL guy they signed as well. Starks is decent at NT if nothing else works out.

Sign Robert Meachem WR and trade Brian Hartline. Meachem is twice the deep threat that Hartline is. He is also 30 pounds heavier and still is faster.

Sign Tracy Porter CB. Will allen is old. Tracy Porter is better and is 25. IMO Porter could be used in the nickel or outside to free up Smith to cover TE's in some situations.

What else? Trade for Willie Colon to be our RT. Steelers can't afford to keep him. They would love a trade partner, otherwise they will just cut him. I think we would get a better deal trading for him; his contract isn't that big considering his status as the number 1 pass blocking OT in the NFL 2010 season. Check out his rank before he was injured.

A lot of Dolphans don't realize that the Fins were ranked 30th in the league last year in pass protection. We gave up 52 sacks!!!!!! That SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need help. Aaron Kromer is an OL genius but he will need some talent to work with. I know it will be the highest priced OL in the NFL but it could bring us a Super Bowl with the right QB.

Steelers are in deep cap hell. They would love a couple players with low cap numbers. Dolphins could put a low FA tender on Merling and make him part of the deal. With 5-technique's Aaron Smith retiring and Brett Kiesel getting cut or starting on the Pup next season, they need help on the line. Dolphins could send Misi as well. Harrison is probably gone from the Steelers. His age, his cap, and his liability to the team as an antagonist to the commissioners office, make him one of the guys they cut or trade. Anyway, they need depth at LB. I wouldn't be surprised if they try him inside.Farrior and Foote are ready for the geriatric ward. Dolphins need to draft a couple pass rushers.

This is a win now scenario. Dolphins would have cap issues in 2013 if they made these moves. It wouldn't break my heart one bit if Marshall got cut in 2013 for cap reasons.

I would love this OL. Long LT...Nicks LG...Pouncey C...Incognito RG...Willie Colon RT...........Jerry,Garner,Murtha,draft pick or two for depth.

I believe an offense like this under Carmichael and Kromer would compete with or even surpass the Patriots; and we know who has the better defense. I think we would be the class of our division and go places in the playoffs for years to come.

I would'nt have any problem with this scenario but I think the Charmicael and Kromer part of the scenario is what would be the important developments. I say this because of all the highpowered passing teams (GB,NE,NO), which is the way I believe you must play offense in todays NFL, the Saints are the team that seem to understand the importance of keeping the power run game a coplimentary part to this philosophy. Although they may be the most capable team of doing this they also seem to be the most willing. This seems to me to be the case even more so since Charmical has been calling plays and from what I understand Kromer has some influence over this aspect of the play calling because Peyton and Brees would like to throw all of the time.
