Reasons Why I cant stand Saban

[NYNCDOLFAN]

:shakeno:

1. Greenwood isnt an impact player nor was he worth anywhere near the money he got!

2. Knight is overrated and getting old and Freeman is nothing but average!

3. Matt Roth was a steal that will probably start for us this year!

4. BS!

1. Gets rid of Morlon Greenwood- I just dont get this. Saban says I want young fast defensive players so he doesnt resign Morlon who is young and fast not to mention became a team leader last year

2. Doesnt re-sign Knight or Freeman, now this would be ok if in there places he brought in youg Players w/ an upside but Tebucky Jones cant hold a finger to Knight or Freeman. Travers Tillman (or w/e his name is) shouldnt even be a starter

3. Drafts Matt Roth who could help in the future but we need to adress our immediate needs like a S or G.

4. He talks about getting younger but all he has done is get older players to replace are younger better players

1.) Morlon Greenwood was in NO WAY worth the money the Texans paid him for us to keep. He was just an average player at best, it would've been a bad financial move for us to have overpaid him just to keep him. Spragan is a young smart player, but best of all he comes cheap. We tried to keep Greenwood to keep him which was a good move try to keep him, but the better move was letting him go and allowing the Texans to overpay more than he's worth.

2.) I was hoping we'd resign Knight and I'm glad Freeman was gone because he wasn't worth the $$$ (we have cap problems, why overpay an average player?) And as for Knight... guy in his early 30's compared to guys in their 20's... Saban didn't resign him for money and because he wants youth which he has Tillman and we might end up getting a S in the draft perhaps Shazor. So by not re-signing Knight he saves money and does the exact opposite of what you say in #4.

3.) Matt Roth wasn't a pick of immediate need he was a pick of a value, a steal if you have it. A guy projected to go somewhere in the late first, we pick up in 2nd... Not bad if I might say, also DE along with CB's so happens to be one of the most important positions on D. It all starts with the DE's and Roth could very well be our starter this year. If he does start, I'd expect him to have close to double figure sacks opposite of JT. A great pick though Khalif Barnes also would have been in my honest opinion.

4.) He got rid of Jay Fiedler (33), Sammy Knight 29), and Rob Konrad (28). Two old players... Junior Seau and Tim Bowens, possibly their last seasons. BOTH took pay cuts, hell TimBo took the Vet minimum. Donnie Spragan, Mario Edwards, Stockar McDougle, Travares Tillman, Damien Cook, Vonnie Holliday (YES, believe it of not) are all under the age of 30.

All the things you mentioned about Greenwood, Knight/Freeman, Roth, and old/young... You don't have to agree with it. But I would have some better arguement if I was you. Everything I just stated is mostly my opinion, everyone feel free to agree or disagree if you want.

Some people just don`t get it!...One day after the new coaches draft and he`s already getting bashed. It`s obvious some people just need to cry and whine,must be an attention seeking thing.
....More importantly,I feel if the Dolphins draft a QB today,which I think they will,it could very possibly be one of the best drafts in team history.We could use a "sleeper keeper" at QB.
.....Also,I realized something watching this years draft that I suspected for quite some time.....I`m in love with Suzy Kolber :wink: ......she is one cute woman.
....(if my wife gets wind of this ,I`ll be in the doghouse if anyone is looking for me!)

I think people forget that Saban isn't building for the present but for the future. Guys like Roth and Crowder (if he stays healthy) will be HUGE assets for us in a year or 2. There's a reason why guys like Carter and Holliday were signed to short term deals. Some people have that "Must win NOW" mentality that they forget that's what got us here in the first place....wasting picks in the draft and building through free agency. Ah well, I'll just shut up now...you may continue your whining.

Your cluelsee buddy. Greenwood is a great guy but average LB. Sammy Knight never lived up to his rep since he got here. Freeman is crap and we should have let him go and kept Edwards last year. Jones is is a hard hitting S which is what Knight did not live up to here. Time will tell if he is what Knight was not. I will agree with you on Tillman though, he is a waste or space IMO. I think Roth is a great pickup. He will add to the depth at DE and make it possible for us to keep everyone on the D-Line fresh every game which will result in better pass rushing all around. I am guessing you have no problem with our new #23 though right?????. I am not to upset about our third round pick either. The guy wrestles wild boars and beats them in record time. That is one tough SOB IMO.
