Dion Jordan at DE

[FanofPelicans]

D. Jordan will get an opportunity to develop into a premier pass rusher as he learns the position. The Fins have a lot of quality depth at DE but they have some aging superstars at the top of the rotation with Wake & Williams. (If people don't think Williams is also a superstar then they haven't paid attention to his career) I predict that the Fins' Dline will terrorize QB's this year.
D. Jordan has the potential to also become disruptive for the Fins.

I think the Fins' Oline will improve. Practicing against the Dline will get them ready for the regular season.

Personally I would like to see him at OLB but they brought in spikes for a tryout. I just want to see the kid practice at this point!!!

I was also thinking Jordan may play OLB but he's built more like a DE now at 275 lbs. He could become a pass rush specialist if he works at it. He should be able to deflect passes with his wingspan at the very least. That being said, Chris McCain has been playing well at DE. Jordan is probably far down the depth chart at this point.

Let's just wait and see what happens. If he's in good shape and motivated the skies the limit. We just need to see him practice as there's nothing to evaluate...

He's been okay'd by the league to practice but nursing a knee injury I guess that's why there was no rush. I hope he's back soon to give him self a chance. Worst case he'll help special teams and earn his way into the rotation.

McCain traded making room for Jordan. Just wish he played in the preseason but they can ease him in if he earns it.

Jordan still isn't running. He will start the season on PUP. Who knows when/if he will ever be activated. Since he can't run, I'm going to go out on a limb and say he isn't in shape either.

Definitely not in football shape. At this point it’s best that he's on PUP list they can keep an eye on him and figure out if he will ever be a player. I just want to turn over every stone before turfing him.

D Jordan has been placed on the Active/Non-Football Injury list. He will not be playing during the first 6 weeks of the season. The team can reevaluate him later. This move makes sense because he still needs to get healthy, learn the system & then try to prove himself.

He is not a pro...He will not contribute at all...waste

 

[FanofPelicans]

I have my doubts too about what he'll accomplish but he still has potential. He has unique athleticism.

Agreed. I think his future would be better at linebacker, when he is ready.....

Miami SURE could use the 2nd best LT in the draft when Ass clown Ireland traded up for Jordan..... jus sayin (another awsum pick by Ireland btw)

Ireland definitely F'd this up but hopefully they salvage something with Jordan. Trying to be optimistic they must see something or they would have cut him already.
