Pretty bad look for the Dolphins when you consider the Tua stuff as well

Ingram may just be his krptonite. Everyone has a guy like that, Jerry Hughes vs HOF Joe Thomas.

Yeah it’s quite confusing. A lot of people seem to want Mike McGlinchey. He sucks. He’s just an older, more expensive version of Brown without the upside. 100% these guys don’t really make it to a second contract, some get a lot of money in free agency, but for the most part paying a RT or using a first round pick on one is insanity. Look at Atlanta, they had two first round picks a few years ago and draft RG and a RT. Someone is going to pay McGary, who was worse than Brown up until this season and Chris Lindstrom is very good and a free agent next year. The Falcons still suck. Those first round picks need to be impact picks, not plug hole picks. Also, PFF scores are interesting but misleading. Too many people look at that and think it says something about a guys ability. Its’s cute, but it means nothing and often times does not match the eye test.

Close to Zero chance they pursue him. They have shown zero interest in that type of linebacker in the past. I think they pursue Germaine Pratt, Cole Holcomb, Bobby Okereke, Cody Barton, maybe a Zach Cunningham, Anthony Walker Jr. or Leighton Vander Esch if Edmunds goes. Those guys are the types of athletes they typically pursue. A lot of people have mentioned Shaq Thompson if cut, I could see that as well. Don’t get me wrong, I like Edwards, I just don’t think he is their type.

You get a bit of that in the shuttle and the three cone. But I don’t think that is his issue. @GunnerBill has talked about it, but Brown’s issue is using leverage and finding his center of gravity. Being as tall as he is, he really hasn’t found that sweet spot. But guys like him take awhile. Add in the fact that he switched positions in college, dealt with covid and cancelled seasons, came from a small school, and had an injury and 2 o-line coaches in 2 years? I give him a pass. I think this is the year he has to put it together. I’m not willing to move one yet because the upside is tremendous.

Long story short, if you were going to build a tackle in a lab, Brown is basically the perfect specimen. Doesn’t necessarily mean he is a finished product. He needs time and I think this year is make or break.

Poyer is from Oregon I believe. I’m thinking Raiders or Niners. west coast…maybe they live in Florida. I dont do the instagram stuff

it’s a composite score that molds together size, speed, strength as a projection at his position. Just to add, Spencer Brown’s 3 cone drill was better than Zay McKenzie’s at 6-8, 311. That’s a short area agility and change of direction score.

Nah I disagree. I really could not care less what he does. I actaully think there are better players to be had in the draft and FA. His career was nowhere before he got here, he became something here and if he goes to Miami he will 100% regret it and get cut in the next 2 years. Sometimes the fit is more important than a lot of the other ancillary parts.

Sounds like the pitch for Brokeback Mountain 2

These guys should just look over at Jordan Phillips and Shaq Lawson and read the situation. Poyer is a difference maker in this defense. He may not be a difference maker elsewhere. Sure he will get a bag, but his career will toil in relative obscurity and he will be cut in two years. And seriously, people are afraid of the Dolphins?

Does Barkley give up 5 to Elam? Greg Rousseau wore 15 in college. Perhaps if Kumerow is not back.

I use that every day. Love it

In terms of his blocking, I give him a little bit of a pass because he didn’t do much blocking at Boise because he was always the one with the ball. I think for a guy who played as much as he did in college was coming in a just a but raw. I think he will come around. He is a really good athlete (terrible 3 cone is probably why he dropped in the draft) and plenty strong with 16 bench reps. It’s likely a footwork/timing repetition thing.

If there is a silver lining to Shakir being on the bench a bunch and dropping that pass against Miami, he seems like the type of dude who is going to put in the level of work needed to make sure that never happens again.

Some more Jack Campbell…literally doing things in run and coverage I have never seen TE do. The zone drop, coming off his primary responsibility and picking the ball off is Luke Kuechly type stuff. I think he will blow up the combine a little. People kind of brand him the dreaded “lunch pail” moniker that implies he is unathletic. I think he is more athletic than people think. I want this player on my team.

Anyone else remember Dog Boy on MTV’s liquid television?

Ralph? That you?

If JP Losman turned into a good coach, the sky is the limit for pretty much everyone else with a pulse.

Honestly this probably wins the thread. It is hard to operate a salary cap if the entire defense is first round picks with eventual 5th year options or guys on second contracts. There has to place somewhere where you can find cheap starters, and off ball linebacker is probably one of the better places to find guys cheap. Offensively that place is running back and slot WR. Finally, I will say that this regime needs to stop paying a premium for special teams production. Like everyone else does, simply use backup linebackers, DBs, and WRs to do the job. Maybe splurge on one guy, not 3-4.

I think he started as a true freshmen at USC, so came out pretty young. It is crazy.

I don’t think he is going anywhere, but just for semantics, Diggs for CeeDee Lamb…who says no? I think it’s close

Yeah I think they will go vet, but not dirt cheap vet, middle/high tier. Germaine Pratt, Drue Tranquill, Cole Holcomb, Leighton Vander Esch, Anthony Walker Jr, Bobby Okereke…any of those guys can come in, don the green dot make the calls etc. They also fit the scheme. One outside the box trade idea is Zaven Collins…I’m guessing the Gannon is going to want to bring TJ Edwards over to run his defense. Maybe Collins becomes available. I think there a couple of guys in the draft who could step right in an start right away, make all the calls and have the trust of the staff right away and those are Campbell, Simpson, Sewell. The rest of the guys probably won’t be able to step right in as a starter right away, that’s just my opinion. I think, if Edmunds is gone, one of those guys is probably his replacement, young vets or rookies.

Yep thats my guy. I been flooding this board with that suggestion. Love Pratt.

His workout numbers imply that he should be able to play there with a 4.44 forty and a big time 3 cone.
