I can't find any news to report other than the Kevin Vickerson re-signing.

I am waiting to hear about the following:

Status of Olindo Mare - Are we actually going to get lucky and get a 5th, 6th, or even a 7th round pick for him or are we just going to have to cut him.
Does anyone know what day he is due his Roster Bonus?

Status of Dan "Big Daddy" Wilkenson Trade - Are we going to luck out and get the 6th round pick for him or is he going to be a "Big Baby" and retire.
I hope he decides to give it another go. Obviously just so we get our 6th round pick! LOL!:sidelol:

Status of Donte Stallworth - Decision was supposedly supposed to be made today but there has been no talk whatsoever. If we do sign him I hope it is an incentive laden deal. If New England did actually offer him 32 Million over 5-6 years he would be stupid not to take it.

Status of Kelly Washington - We were supposed to have a contract waiting for him. Whatever happened to that:confused: .
I would love to see him in a fins Uniform. He would be a cheap pickup and has really big potential. Now he is supposedly visiting the Patriots today:boohoo:
It is against Patriot Rules to sign a WR over 6'0". LOL:sidelol:

Status of Our OFFENSIVE LINE - We have nothing left:fire: . What are we doing. I realize that this could be fixed via the draft but I am getting worried to be honest with you.
 
Don't expect to hear about our OL until draft day
 
That is my thought exactly. But I don't know if you want that many rookies on your offensive line at one time. The speed of the NFL compared to college is much different and also the blitz schemes are much more complicated. I could see 1 rookies, but 2-3 makes me nervous to be honest with you.
 
I am not doubting anything. I am just giving my opinion.

Also another topic I didn't mention to start was this:

Status of Ricky Williams - Will he be reinstated? I think he will.
That brings up the next big question. Will Cam and Randy take him back?
I am hoping that they do. He will be one of the cheaper backup runningback and better than half of the starting RB's in this league. The only problem is his contract is up after this year. Anyone think Ricky will do a cheap extension?? He recently said that money isn't a priority to him. LOL!
 
I'd still like to keep Mare. In 2005, he was 6-6 from 40-49 yds. That's great. But what bothers me was his 9-12 from 30-39 yds. Don't remember the circumstances, maybe a few misses justified, but still 75% from that distance is unacceptable for an NFL kicker. I guarantee we will miss his kickoffs if he is gone.
 
Offensive Line:

RT Carey
RG Shelton
C Hadnot
LG Toledo
LT Alaibi

We draft:

G Blaylock 2nd round
C Satele 2nd round
T Free 3rd round
T Gabe Hall 7th round

We resign Fonuti and Stevenson is on the practice squad

No worries mate!
 
if u go to the Dolphins site and look at the roster....we only have ONE guard, and ONE center. and the guard is a rookie who didnt play at all. i didnt know we had Gibran Hamdan at QB...im sure hes a reserve, but still

Well I can ID one issue is that Blaylock will most likely become a Raven at the end of the first.

Sometimes you do that because you pretty much have to... like the Dolphins did in 1990 with Webb and Sims on the left side, and the Jets did last year. It's not the ideal situation, but it can be done. You'll pretty much be trading athleticism for a bunch of false starts. :D
 
Joe Toledo is 6'6, and weighs around 290...there's no way he can play GUARD. hes too tall and lightweight for Guard. he is also listed as a Tackle. i think Toledo and Alabi should battle for the LT spot...and then draft a Guard and Center. let Hadnot and Shelton battle for RG. and if Shelton loses, let him battle for the LT spot. if Hadnot loses...let him battle for the Center spot.
 
If Blaylock is there at 40 it'd be a no brainer for us but he should go in round 1 as well as Kalil(sp)but there's 2 or 3 other guards that should be there as well as a couple of centers in the 3rd.

Ozzy rules!!

Ravens haven't dealt with the loss of Adalius Thomas and all the good FA LB's are signed.

Ravens will probably draft whatever OLB is availale.
Poluzny,Willis,Timmons

I'm gald our o-line is getting overhauled.

What's funny about the whole Cam Cameron thing is I wasn't expecting this at all. I really wasn't expecting this kind of aggressiveness, and by that I mean the cuts and FAs being unsigned.

In light of how Saban left, this is very refreshing.
