Yeah...I'm a Parish fan, but I can't remember a season where he wasn't hurt.
-
I don't know about anyone else, but I can see tebow going to Miami. Smith has had his FA competition snatched up by Denver and Miami needs to build from the ground up anyway. Whether or not this would be a good thing for us I can't say.
-
Geez. I hope he can make some whine with those sour grapes.
See what I did there?
-
I'm more interested in how this would effect the QB jockeying in the draft. If the Phins are going to sign a FA in Smith, that leaves Seattle open to take Flynn. Now, that pretty much drops the big competition for Tannehill, which destroys leverage for the Bills to trade down to help someone get him.
That said, if Nix wants him, Tannehill would likely be a lot more open for the taking.
-
Ok, good. I was worried for a moment that this wasn't sarcasm.
That said, while I agree that we need someone to replace Bell if he leaves and our depth needs serious work, I don't know if this translates into a 1st round draft pick. Certainly some picks somewhere, but the O-line we have did better than anyone expected last year. Part of it was doubtless part of the style of offense we played, but they didn't do half bad.
-
For starters, he's not a WR.
...yeah, technically he is QB/WR. We've just been using him as a wildcat QB.
-
I think you're mostly on the mark here. I would disagree with you on our CB situation though. I think that we're somewhat overrated since teams could gouge us in the running game. When we played elite teams they carved up our secondary, and even our DE's greatest success (the Pats the first time) was still allowing record numbers for their receivers.
-
With all this talk about possibly getting a WR in the draft to be Stevie's number 2, has anyone else thought that we should stop dicking around and make Smith the man? We know he can make plays, like that spectacular deflection touchdown catch against the Jets and from what I remember when we played him in the position he did well. I'm not saying that I don't like him in the wildcat. I think he's good at using it to pick up third and short, but why can't we let him do both?
-
I think there may be a solid chance that Nix trades down in the order for more second round picks. If someone wants Tannehill and hasn't taken him by them we might get some bargaining power.
That said, if not, I think it's going to come down to the best player available at one of the many positions that we could take. I personally think that DE is going to be sewed up for now with Mario. OT is a position of concern with all the injuries we had last year. McGee is banged up and I doubt we are going to renew McKelvin, so I don't think that a CB is off the table. I would love to see Floyd as a #2 receiver to work with SJ, but I've heard reports that Nix thinks receivers are deep in the draft so he may wait for round 2.
-
Yes, I know this is dangerously skirting the territory of being shunted to the main thread.
However, I wanted to know if anyone has found a way to order a Mario Williams jersey yet. Of course, we may not even know his number yet...
-
As much as I hate to say it, I think he has a point. It's as if we are going to be able to go "poof, suddenly we have no question marks". That said, Mario Williams is a huge improvement. With free agency, the draft, and waivers coming up I am confident that Mario Williams is the start, not the end, of our rebuilding this offseason.
-
How about "The Three Stampede"? No, that won't work. These three would do more damage than a bison stampede...
-
Important question: how much cap room do we have now?
-
*Now* can we start saying Nix is a good job? Or should be wait until the press conference is over to wait if MW bolts?
-
If we could get manningham now, could we have Super Mario Brothers?
-
Can I get a HELL YEAH!?!
-
...I hate you mpkev
-
Hey, the more money the Jags are spending the less they can offer Mario Williams.
-
None of the above. Take someone in the draft.
-
Ok yeah, we need to get a grip. We really do...
AHHH CAN'T HELP IT! I'M GOING CRAZY! F5! F5! F5!
-
I would agree. If we pull these two in, it would sap up a whole lot of cap space and leave us barely enough for our draft picks. But it would so be worth it.
-
Eh, I'm ok with this. That was more than he was worth to us.
-
I just said the same thing to a buddy of mine. If Nix uses all this cap money he's saved and actually signs Wlliams... he comes off looking like a genius.
I would agree. Granted, this is a pretty big if. A REALLY big if. But if Nix pulls it off, if he does indeed manage to get Williams to sign he will have corrected one of our biggest weaknesses with a superstar player, leaving us to concentrate on other weaknesses during the draft.
I'm picturing the line with Dareus, K. Williams, M. Williams and a healthy Merriman and getting chills. Hey, I can dream can't I?
-
Well, they couldn't have picked a better day to woo him to come here weather-wise. That said SIGN HIM NOW!!!
Seriously, if in the contract Nix has to act as the man's footstool for a night, we should take him.
Andy LeVitre or Jairus Byrd??

Levitre. I mean, I would love both but it looks like we might lose Bell and I don't think we can afford to lose any more O-line players.
