Agreed, just couldn't find a better picture of it yetI saw this earlier and it drives me crazy. :D Nobody is wearing #13 for the Dolphins next year (or ever again).

Creed is going back to school unfortunatelyI would build up our lines, defense, and RB’s this offseason and let Fitz play QB for another 1-2 years and groom Rosen and another young QB. Add Simmons on defense or Thomas or Wirfs with #5 overall, Epenesa at edge or Ruggs with 18, and Creed or Biadasz at center with 26. Second round take Dobbins or Etienne at RB and Becton at OT. That gives us Oline help, playmakers, and defensive help.
Thank you for pointing out CJ Mosley. I really had no idea that he had a similar type hip injury and made a full recovery and has had several productive years in the NFL. While this does give me hope that Tua can have the same success in his recovery. My main issue with him is the number of injuries he has had in the past two years and how his body will hold up at the next level.CJ Mosley?
That's him, he played himself in the movie.You know what's really odd? He sounds just like that Mississippi coach in The Blind Side!
Maybe so, but what could we realistically expect in return for #18 or #26?I still believe 1b or 1c will be traded for additional assets in 2021.
He doesn’t count cause he ain’t a QB lolCJ Mosley?
You don't sayThat's him, he played himself in the movie.
A one read QB who can’t hit the broad side of barn at this point of his career?? Relies on his Running abilityI hope Tua has a nice, long NFL career...somewhere other than Miami.
Regarding Lawrence, I've been sold on him since last year. I would easily trade three first round picks for a chance to get him. he has it mentally to succeed in the NFL (again, he was unfazed facing Alabama as a true freshman last year). Any physical questions can be worked on. His moxie cannot be coached. Plus, he's a guy who won't embarrass the organization by getting into trouble off the field (In all fairness, Tua won't either. ). I think Lawrence translates to the NFL better than Tua. Tua's injuries concern me. I don't care if he's given a clean bill of health.
Yeah it was him,Nick saban, Houston nut,Lou holtz, Tommy tuberville and a couple more I believe.You don't say

A knee injury, two ankle surgeries and a hip dislocation all within two years. This happened behind one of the best offensive lines in college. I just worry if the Dolphins draft him how he will survive behind a Dolphins OL. While the expectation is the OL will be drastically improved over the next two years. The fact is we have been expecting an improved OL for the past decade and it just has not materialized so far.
I expect the Dolphins will draft Tua at 5 if he is still on the board but I just wish I felt better about his ability to take the hits he is sure to receive in the NFL.

can't argue with that, the injury is a major concern but I would absolutely roll the dice. Also, @Namor and others can speak to this but I thought I heard it was an off-year for the Alabama O-lineThank you for pointing out CJ Mosley.
