What's Missing on the Roster Right Now?

[Da 'Fins]

What position (s) do you think the Dolphins need another player to improve the team (Though, of course, as Saban notes, they'll always be looking for improvements)?

On the lighter side, did you notice there is not a single # in the 40's on the entire team? Wonder if Saban is superstitious?

A few things I've noticed:

- We have no real intimidating, heavy hitters in the D-backfield (unless Jason Allen breaks into the lineup and becomes one - I don't expect that this year).

- Still could use another OLB who can make big plays. Our OLB's are solid, but I see basically two playmakers (Zach and Crowder) and both of them are more inside types when we are in the 3-4.

- Another FB.

I noticed that too, I think that is what is missing...

 

[PhinsRock]

OLB and OL IMHO.

 

[Phinadict]

with JEff George coming out of the old folks home to play in Oakland, maybe we can coax Louis Oliver out :)

 

[Aussiefinfan54]

OLB top notch safety and a top line offensive lineman

1. OL
2. OL
3. OL

Oh, and we could use a dominating OLineman. I would like to see us get one BIG NASTY to add to our bunch, but they are really overachivers (achieving at or above their abilities now) and may not have much upside from here. Hope our injuries heal FAST.

Last year's OL was decent. This year's OL is a disaster waiting to happen. People can talk about coaching but coaching isn't going to make any of the Fins OL quicker or more athletic, and that's the problem.

I would love to see Wade Smith get cut and us pursue Toniu Fonoti. It would also be nice to see Charles Rogers come in and let Russell go....

 

[Scott Andrew]

1st - DB
2nd - OL
3rd - OLB

we do need a hitter in our secondary IMO. we dont have that right now.

JT and Bowens arent playmakers in the 3-4?

another FB? what the hell for?

 

[Rick 1966]

We have no depth at OL, LB or WR and we have no stand-out defensive backs. A solid, good-tackling defensive backfield but no stars.

Lee Suggs wears #44.

They may not be heavy hitters but I thought Renaldo Hill's tackling ability stood out. Also, W. Allen is a much better tackler than Madison.

 

[DorsalPhin]

agree about the DB's. No R.Harrison-type, but the 4 starters are great tacklers w/solid pass cov. When Daniels returns they'll be that much better, whether he starts or not, w/J.Allen providing support as well.

Need: OL. Jacox is a start, but they could use a solid backup C (sorry Joe and Wade). Like the Suggs signing. Hope he can play soon.
