Oh well. It was sour grapes time once we found out he was talking to the Chiefs.
CB round 1. No question about it. Now only think to ponder is if we move up for Milliner or just take Banks/Trufant at 12.
This is really one of the worst excuses for keeping crap players, but it sure gets a lot of play around here. "It will create a hole!!1!" Sean Smith was a hole.Im not really happy with this because it means we will have to pick up a corner in FA and in the draft (probably our 1st). yes he is soft. yes I want him gone eventually, but I want him gone when we have someone better than him to replace him.

Good thing we traded Vonte for a ham sandwich!
To develop a player he needs to have the right tlaent. Philbin has said developing talent is a priority but not everyone fits his sytem and not everbody can be developed.
He's likely to leave because he wants to be paid as a top class CB. Philbin hasn't kicked him out. Ireland has evaluated the situation and is not prepared to pay the $11 or 12Mpa that he is demanding.This is smelling like a case where Phibin does not believe in coarching up that talent he has but feels like he has to find the talent that fits his coaching style. I would rather have a coach that can develop talent than have to draft his own talent. Well basically our secondary has under performed for the most part even though last year I smelled some improvement in some areas. Guys this bit of having to remake a team everytime we get a new coach is killing us talent wise. Our 2 biggest holes were wide recieved and CB last year and we traded away that talent we already had on the team. Like I said no good. Look at it this way if Philbin cannot turn it around quick enough then there is a good chance we are doing this again regardless of the GM it makes things very difficult. I like how Philbin proved me wrong last year and realy hopes he keeps up the good work. Not being a insiider I do no know but just maybe that is why Ireland may have preferrred a McCoy over a Philbin as he smelled a complete remake of the team which means statting over. We shall see.

If the OP is based on Volins interview this A.M. on the Joe Rose Show, I don't think Volin was citing a source within the Dolphins saying Sean Smith won't be back. He was citing somebody else in the media who thought that. Volin also expressed his personal opinion that it's still possible Smith returns to the Fins AFTER testing the market first.
