MattyT Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 So what is to become of Jason Taylor? Is Holliday meant to be a backup? Wasn't there a rumor about Taylor wanting to play on the other side of the ball? Have I asked too many questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puhonix Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Per ESPN News 265578[/snapback] It's true: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2007140 I don't know how we're affording this, but I'll take it. It pretty much reinvents the d-line for the fins. Looking a lot more fearsome than it did before, and it was pretty good before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carter to be used as a DT, though he has experience at both positions. I'll go and edit it. My fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fault. 265585[/snapback] That's cool. Actually, I would have assumed that he was to play DE anyway since that is his natural position. Oh well. Thought we might get out of facing Taylor twice a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised they are not addressing the O in free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for change, but this is scary for me. I miss Jim Bates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is gonna play the nose for the Fins? Also, how did they fit this under the cap. Did I miss it, or was Boston and Seau released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Miami loses 10 games this year by scores of 6-5 or 3-2. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Agreed.... Wont the fins ever learn? Spending all their money on defense while their offense continues to suffer..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni Man Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Agreed.... Wont the fins ever learn? Spending all their money on defense while their offense continues to suffer..... 265639[/snapback] It's ok by me. Kevin Carter didn't do much of anything in Tennessee next to Kearse, so I'm not to worried about him doing anything next to Taylor or Holliday. I'll worry about the Fish when they get a qb who doesn't cry or get hurt from a butt slap and a rb who doesn't retire to try out for the next Cheech and Chong movie.

Feeley should be paying royalties for taking the 'aj' name and acting like a pus*y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Holliday is a scrub now. Carter had 6 sacks as a 4-3 DT, but if they're planning on going 3-4, he's useless as a NT. Better to keep the 4-3, have Holliday shift inside with Bowens, and keep Taylor on the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about the first part of your question, but I assume that Bowens will be the answer at NT. And yes, I agree that we should be spending on offense, but there arent many big name Offensive stars out there, and I think that's what Saban is using the draft for. But, after last season, I gotta get excited about something, so give me this will ya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they go 3-4, imagine a linebacker core of Seau, Jason Taylor, Zach Thomas, and Eddie Moore. Well, 3 outta 4 aint bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one wants to move up. Its a matter of not having a consensus #1 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodnarb Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Per ESPN News 265578[/snapback] i think, mr. T, that this reveals that saban is moving the fins to a 3-4. The 34 needs big, run stopping DEs. Big guys a la Ty Warren and Richard Seymore. We don't have the personnel to run a 34 unless we moved aaron shobel to LB and Ron Edwards to end. Kelsay might be close to big enough but he's more of a pass rusher than a run stopper. They're probably going to either try to trade taylor to a 43 team for a second round pick and a player, or they'll try to convert him to LB. In a 34 D, Taylor can simply not play DE. He'll be engulfed. I like that word, engulfed. Holliday and Carter are both big DEs that can anchor against the run and allow their LBs to rush the passer. I wish the Bills would use more 34. It's so much easier to take an offense by surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
