5. FA Kyle Van Noy
4. FA Shaq Lawson
3. R Raekwon Davis
2. FA Byron Jones
1. FA Emmanuel Ogbah

Find it a bit telling they are all defensive players, HC Flores is a defensive coach so it makes sense to load up on defense. Also nice to see a rookie in that list, get-em Raekwon expecting big things from you.

Raekwon's ceiling could be huge, got to hope he puts the work in, and stays inspired to continually get better.
 
Based on all the hype I've heard about Raekwon Davis since he arrived in south Florida - I'm looking forward to seeing him literally have to pulled off opposing quarterbacks just so they can breathe.

He better have 15 sacks after all this nonsense.

I will settle for be an immovable object enforcer and flow down the los and meet the ball parallel to the los.
 
While it is nice to see Davis rated in the top five. It is disappointing that none of the four players selected before Davis in the draft are on the list.

Kyle Van Noy and Byron Jones should be a given, they're proven vets that went for very good money... The fact that all other players on that list are either rookie or castoffs that mainly go against the OL is the real concern here... Seems like once again, the OL is the gift that keeps on giving...

I will be concerned with the offensive line until they prove otherwise. While I was happy to see Grier sign Karras and Flowers in free agency and draft offensive linemen early in the draft. I just hope they are the right players to turn the offensive line into a competent unit.

I expect them to struggle early in the season but hopefully they will improve as the season goes along. Until the Dolphins can put a solid offensive line on the field, they are going to have trouble being anything more than mediocre at best.
 
Davis is a guy I still remain seriously skeptical of. He certainly plays the run well. But tailed off the final 2 seasons at Alabama. If Saban couldn't get this kid to reach his potential and play more consistently, I'm not sure who could and that includes Flores.

Every year as a fan, I read about camp stars and then, left wondering why they either disappeared or got cut.

If Davis, can settle in to being the clog in the run game for Miami's defense, I'll be as happy as any Dolfan.

But forgive me for wanting to see before believing. There's an old saying, which is, "I'm from Missouri the Show Me State", So Show Me, Raekwon!!!

Liked your post based on the Missouri reference!

That said, your statement pretty much holds true for EVERY player at every position.

IE: doing well during TC is a good thing but that doesn't guarantee crap

come regular season action. BUT ------- it's a lot better than bad TC reports!

Funny thing is ----------- we're all gonna get a chance to see what kind of preliminary

product we have real soon. And then after that ------- hopefully see some positive

developments by the immense youth we have on the roster!

Just for fun -- I'm looking at the possibility as a positive!

:lol:

My knee jerk reaction is to immediatly trash on the Oline for not making the list but this training camp and the fact were going through a non-pre-season has me feeling more patient.

Let's be honest we added some absolute stud guys on defense. Tua hasn't thrown a single pass in a game yet and its hard for me to see an online unit full of new faces and 2 rookies be able to stand up to guys like Ogbah and Van Noy. Without playing a single preseason game.

If our defense wasn't destroying our online id be even more worried to he honest.
