Miami Dolphins

They drafted Jason Allen in the first round and he should help stabilize either one corner spot or a safety position, which leaves strong-side linebacker as the position on defense that is a concern. Sedrick Hodge is penciled in as the starter for now, but Donnie Spragan will be in the mix. Both are just average.
 
Hes right IMO. Lavar Harrington not coming hurts but i really think we will draft LB first next draft day. We will still be strong on D, just not as much as Saban would have liked.
 
Holes? Hmm, so every single position is supposed to be high caliber? Having an 'average' player at a spot doesn't equal 'hole' in my book. I wonder how many 'holes' Prisco thought we had last year or how many 'holes' the Pats have this year...
 
I have the distinct feeling we will be seeing much more 3-4 defense this year, in which case wouldnt JT end up in a LB slot? Adding one more LB for insurance purposes is fine, but it isnt critical, IMO.

Im still worried the most about the QB position.


Oh, and that elusive 25th coach we will be hiring in case one goes down with a foot injury.
 
We definitely need another quality LB....there should be some available when teams cut down to the final waiver in late August.
 
I rather doubt last minute cuts are going to turn up a quality linebacker. The good players have already been turned loose and have found teams, for the most part.
 
Hodge will be servicable. He's got good size and he runs a 4.3. I think Saban can get him to play to the level that he's capable.
 
Why cant Pope take one of the linebacker spots? Sure, he isnt a huge guy, but neither is Zach, and Pope has played as well as any starter in the league during the chances he has received.

I'm not a big Prisco buff, but he's right...we have a hole at OLB...Spraghan and Hodge are ok, not great. But, right now we certainly do have a hole in the OLB spot...
 
Wow....Im amazed with how much time and effort this azz clown put into this article. My humble opinion is that he neglected to mention the bigger holes at weak side LB and backup QB.:tantrum:

I totally agree
 
He's full of it... I don't think many teams have quite the talent we do.

besides the elite LBs in the league are getting pretty old and slow.. in 2 years we will have the best D in the league.

I don't think we will have any problem putting a D together with Dom leading the way..

yeah i agree with you on that one....ultimately its about the players who can play not everyone has to be a star in order to be good. The Pats turned a bunch of avg players into a 3 time defending super bowl team...so that says enough in itself....
