Just ask Ricky Williams who spent a full season in Toronto and ran for just over 500 yards. So if Ricky is half as good as Messam, then Messam is twice as good as Ricky was. There are very few that get 1000 yards up there.

Messam is a stud, but he did have a rep here for being a bit of a problem child. He got cut from the BC Lions not because he couldn’t play, but because of discipline issues. The theory here is that getting cut by BC was a wake up call, as he seems to have cleaned up his act, but that red flag is there, as I’m sure the Dolphins know already.

This is either a camp competition or Lex will be cut soon. Bush is a good back but can be better used. Thomas had a decent rookie year but was injured. Not having Polite killed the once dominant short yardage game.

The answer is so obvious the question is practically rhetorical.

Carries his helmet under his arm when he plays, has his cleats tied to his belt and runs barefoot. Has a giant pet beaver named Babe.

There’s a reason not a lot of guys come from Canada and play in the NFL. Sounds like he has the body but they don’t have defensive fronts like we have here.

Only sorry he’s going to the fins. Chargers could really use a guy like this. Mathews from Fresno St. is a bust. He’s often injured, hasn’t busted off a big one and goes down without significant impact. He barely got 1000 yds this year. And that’s only cuz Rivers didn’t have anyone else with any speed to give it to.
