I have it as 7 new faces (that can use retooling) on next years starting units addressed through FA and Draft.

Honestly, who'd you keep for sure on next year's Offense and Defensive starting units?

Marshall is really overrated and I wish we'd trade him. He makes way too many mistakes and drops too many passes for a #1 receiver. Soliai will probably be gone also as he is making way too much money for not producing.

You have to start with the only player on the team that is an elite player at his position. Jake Long. Right now, he's probably the only player who should be looked at as irreplaceable by the Dolphins.

Everyone thought Cameron Wake would become a core guy, but at this point, he hasn't developed past one trick pony status.

Mike Pouncey is also a core guy, IMO. He's already one of the top 2-3 centers in the NFL and arguably better than his brother.

I like what I have seen of Daniel Thomas when he plays. Problem is, through five games, he has missed two. He has to show me that he can stay on the field.

Randy Starks is a guy I would keep around. I think he has played well despite the lack of a pass rush.

Brandon Fields is also a guy to keep around.

Great point on Soliai man. I gotta modify my list....

Hmm...nods to that. Perhaps Starks over Soliai then...

We would first need to know who is available in the offseason. We may have to eat some of these suckers for another year until we can actually draft, trade, FA pickup suitable and better replacements. That said there are very few "untouchables" on this team. And to be honest personally i would entertain offers for every single player on the roster if the deal was nice.

Except Bess, Pouncey, Dansby, Long, and Bell. I know Dansby has pped off, but seriously.....who hasnt on this defense. Something isnt happening during practice. Its like theyre not practicing at all honestly, and I think thats whwrong with Marshall as well!

NO One should be safe considering the quality of play...NO ONE
the toilet needs to be flushed with this team

Pouncey is already elite. The guy is good. Small comfort, but yeah.
