richNjoisy Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 The Miami Herald confirms that Dolphins DE Phillip Merling will miss the 2010 season after tearing his Achilles' tendon. Merling reportedly sustained the injury during a football workout, putting the finishing touches on a nightmare offseason. The last pick of the 2008 first round had taken the majority of the first-team reps at right defensive end in spring practices. The Dolphins will now rely on this year's first-rounder Jared Odrick after losing both Merling and NT Jason Ferguson in the past week. Maybe he will rehab in prison??

San Jose Bills Fan Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Great article on the Fish by Alex Marvez: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/philip-...bad-boys-060110 When Parcells was hired in December of 2007, he said he didn't want any "thugs or hoodlums" on the team. Since that time, the Dolphins have had 8 players arrested, possibly the highest number by any NFL team. And after Merling was arrested, he continued to practice with the first team defense. This article is chock full of all sorts of good stuff on the state of the Dolfins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrFishfinder Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 He beat up his pregnant girlfriend and you feel bad for him?? I hope he tears his sack. He is charged with that. Maybe it's true, maybe it's not. I hope you don't think that everyone who is charged with something is automatically guilty. That being said, if he IS found guilty of assaulting his girlfriend, I'm all for punishing him to the fullest extent of the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills had more than that last off season alone. just off the top of my head....Simpson, Lynch, Mcantyre, Witner, Hardy, and i seem to remember a few more.

That was in only a couple month stretch last off season. * in 3 years seems actually pretty good by NFL standards. You're a knowledgable enough fan to know not to include Corey McIntyre's arrest. But even including his arrest, the Bills have had 6 arrests in the same amount of time the Dolphins have had 8 (since the beginning of 2008 when Bill Parcells made his statement about "no thugs or hoodlums." In addition, the Dolphins have had 4 arrests since this February. Here's an actual NFL arrest database: http://www.signonsandiego.com/nfl/arrests-...CPIorderby=Team Over the last ten years, the Cincinnati Bengals have had 32 players arrested, tops in the NFL. That's an average of 3.2 arrests per year…so 8 arrests in 3 years is not a good figure. In the same study, the 10th most arrested team, Tampa Bay, had 19 arrests in 10 years. http://www.opposingviews.com/i/which-nfl-t...he-most-arrests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanInUticaTampa Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 The statement was arrested and mcintyre was arrested. Yeah, and charges were dropped. So adding it in there is misleading. Yeah, the statement was "arrest" but it was implied that we are talking about thugs, criminals, and players who get into trouble. So if you missed what people were really talking about.... then I dunno what to tell ya. Maybe there is a class that can teach you to read in between the lines.

Etc.. they are all a distraction to the team and shows that the player is putting himself or association is questionable. Corey McIntyre was riding his bike during his regular workout when he was arrested in a case of mistaken identity. How is that "putting himself or association is questionable?" BTW, Since Parcells took over in December 2007, Miami has had the most arrests (8), tied with Jacksonville and Tennessee. So, no. Your comment that eight arrests in 3 years "seems actually pretty good by NFL standards" is an incorrect statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
