Get rid of JT??? That's beyond retarded! Do you know how long it would take for another DE to fill his shoes???
I'm so sick of the drama that ZACH can't do no wrong thats crap and you know he said and you know he said it I like the guy but lets take the blinders off!!!DOLFANMIKE said:Found this quote on one of the Phins.com articles...thought it was worth posting since we had some "dolfans" posting how he was being a cancer to the team. Sorry, I don't buy it. Zach is all heart and done nothing but play hard for us.
Zach Thomas:
"Everybody says he's a disciplinarian. That's fine," Thomas said of Saban. "There's different ways of coaching. They misquoted me in the paper (Saturday) and said I didn't want one in here. That's garbage. I never said that. You all heard it from me.
"I just said Coach Bates is doing a hell of a job, and he'll be a hell of a head coach some day. But I hope he doesn't leave. I'm selfish. I want him to stay with the scheme that we have. That would be a good 1-2 punch, with both of them working together."
PhinFan2006 said:Exactly! Bates' scheme just insn't Attacking. He's NEVER adjusted to the style, and I just don't think he ever will. Saban may keep him, but I think he ends up with Wanny @ Pitt.
BEST POST I"VE READ IN WEEKS.....PhinsPhan said:Jason Taylor is dominant. No one in the NFL, and I repeat no one can dominate their man every single down. Add on top of this Taylor is usually up against the LT (other teams best OL) and he is always 1) Double Teamed 2) Chipped 3) chopped. He has demanded the attention of TE on his side for half of every down he plays. Also, if Taylor knows it is a pass. Take that sack against cleveland for example. They cleared out the backfield and left him one on one and look what happend. Bottom line Taylor is one of the most relentless players in the NFL. The national media underrates this guy but I never would have thought a dolphins fan would have. Last five years he is one sack behind Strahan down that 5 year stretch. This year, he has little motivation to play. I am positive he is partially injured from before and yet he still produces. As far as him being too light. It doesnt matter how much you weigh when you are still out muscling 330 pound linemen, which i have seen him do many times. We should be lucky to have players like him and Thomas. Plus, there is no way to trade him. Too much cap penalty and we would have no reason to trade him.
Message to everyone. Please stop talking about trading players like this is Madden. It is not that easy in the NFL. Have you ever wondered why there is hardly any major deals. This year there have been 3 trades which is quite high. Trades dont happen because the costs incurred on the cap are too big if the players contract is large. Players like Madison and Taylor have too big of a contract to just trade them.
maybe he was good in college but sucked in the NFL.FuturePhin said:Hey hey!! Cecil the Diesel was preaty good. If it wasnt for his "peeping tomanitious"(of that girl) he would be the star running back that we drafted him for. Check the film when he ran for LSU. I was a fan and man was he good.
I stand correctedSuperself said:You want to put Wade Smith on the other side of Jason and still stand by that statement??
Surferosa said:He didnt "come around". His original words were taken out of context. He was never against Saban in the first place.
Exactly...makes no sense.FinaciousOne said:Thanks, good find.
I couldn't understand how a player with Thomas's discipline would object to a coach who enforced discipline.
From some of what I've read on Saban, he appears to like to blitz more than Bates has with the Dolphins. It would be interesting to see what they could accomplish together.
PhinFan2006 said:I'll agree it's tough to replace him, however, we might be able to get a first rounder for him, and stock up the picks, and use the money saved on someone like Edgerin James, or Shaun Alexander.
A high profile RB is a must to help the offense next year, James would be the best. How the hell could the Colts keep him after this season right?
Predaphin said:What'd I tell you guys? Saban isn;t even coaching our team yet and some of our boys are already changing their tunes...This is a good sign, we have a great bunch of guys on our team and they will embrace our new coach...They liked Wanny, they liked Bates, and now they will like Saban.
