Miami Dolphins Off-Season Thread

Heard that thank goodness. Maybe Bridgewater will man up and accept the challenge from Miami. I hope he does prove yourself young man!

Challenge?

 

[Paolo305613]

Not sure how he'd fit and cost may be higher for a declining vet. He's good but injury prone....

I agree with you on all fronts here. I just brought him up because he is still a quality player and person despite the things you mentioned and might have served as a good veteran leader for a rebuilding team.

 

[Paolo305613]

Was surprised to see bolden go he's a nice piece ah well. They can draft another RB later need to give Drake and Ballage more carries next year.

I thought with Flores and a lot of other former Cheatriots on the staff that he would be a lock to stay -- and I thought his skill set would be better suited for our team -- but it is what it is. He can be replaced.

As far as carries for Drake and Ballage go -- Obviously those guys do need more carries -- but for as much as I complained about the lack of carries for them at times, I think their durability is still questionable. Again, I agree they need more carries -- but like I mentioned before, they are basically the only RBs currently on the roster that can be considered reliable. I mentioned RB as a need in terms of needing more depth, and maybe experience. The Dolphins don't need to necessarily worry about trying to get a starting RB in FA or the draft.

Tevin Coleman to the 49ers

More on the Teddy Bridgewater saga -- If he does come to Miami, many expect the Saints to be a potential landing spot for Tannehill - Jeff Ireland is over there so there is some familiarity.

The above news per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.

One thing to remember with Teddy is his history with a very devastating injury -- he has comeback from it -- but its something to keep in mind. Its a risk that must be taken into account in this pursuit of him

Blake Bortles officially released by the Jaguars

I would probably go after Bortles than Bridgewater. Bortles is more proven.

Dolphins sign TE Clive Walford. That is great news, glad they are addressing positions of need.

Challenge?

I think most QB's would look at next season in Miami as a bit of a challenge due to the changeover. Bridgewater could take the easy way out and remain a backup or accept the responsibility of starting here in Miami. Let's see if he's up to it...

Wouldn't be against Bortles for the right price but we know who he is. Bridgewater could surprise us though and is young enough to still be a true starter...

I agree here. I think he is thought of (currently) as a short-term answer not just because the Fins are trying to rebuild and may eventually go with a different QB -- but he is more so thought of in that regard due to the injury history he has. If he comes here and shows that he is healthy again, I think he becomes more than just a "bridge" guy for the team.

 

[Paolo305613]

Eric Rowe signing official - Also, the Fins have added TE, Clive Walford -- former Miami Hurricane.

I know someone is going to complain about another TE -- but this is just further proof of the type of offense O'Shea wants and the type of team Flores wants. A team that will value time of possession and possession of the ball in general. No more that crap of going for the big play on every play -- smart, methodical football is making its way back to Miami. I have missed it.

 

[Paolo305613]

And for those that are already criticizing the front office, and even the coaching staff -- The moves the Fins have made so far this offseason speak to how well Flores and Grier already work together -- Grier is the GM but he is obviously listen to Flores as far as what he wants in the makeup of this roster. You can see the finger prints of our coaching staff in the moves they've made so far. They are getting it right at the top -- its going to be up to the players to finish it on the field.

 

[Paolo305613]

AJ McCarron released by the Raiders -- so thats at least another name to the QB list.

I don't know if he's any better than what they already have I'd just stick with Tanny until they find his heir.

Bridgewater is out he resigned in NO I guess starting for an NFL team was too much for him to handle. Waste of potential...
