The Phins #1 conern should be a WR. The defense should be fine if we get off to a fast start.

Hey liddogg33…

Let me me bring you back to earth. The Seahawks are losers .475 (277 wins and 306 losses) lifetime record, Zero Super Bowl wins and the only Team in NFL history to go to the Playoffs with a 7-9 record. That’s it… that is all you got. Without Steve Largent and Cortez Kennedy, no football fans would ever know your team exists. Atleast you got that puke green color in your uniform to keep you in the news.

Liddog33 I will give it to you, u sound like a true fan. Now back to the reality. Do you realize all the names you just listed? Hurt rice who hasn’t recovered. Baldwin??? I could compare him to hartline! Moving forward, mike willams is a bust. You do have a okay line with a runni g game which I have mentioned. Did you watch last year??? Best home field advantage? Where we’re u guys again? Now to Brandon Marshall, who had 5 drops in the ensuing who could of turned some of our games around… Well thank god! Will will have a positive season this year just watch.

im i the only one who wants the dolphins to draft Quinton Coples??? Last year out pass rush was horrible. I rember counting one time and we gave Tom Brady 8 SECONDS to throw the ball.we need someone else who the O-line have to worry about other then Cameron Wake. he cant do it all by himself.

There are only 3 good decissions in the 1st rd for Miami, sice Blackmon will be gone by #8

Take DECASTRO at #8, or trade down and take either WEEDON or RUEBEN RANDLE

Taking any other players except one of thses 3 would be a HUGE MISTAKE

By: liddogg33

liddogg33 — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 23:38:49 +0000

Well lets see…. We have Sydney Rice, Zach Miller, Mike Williams, Doug Baldwin, Ricardo Lockette, Ohh and a Young and UPCOMING OLINE coached by guru Tom Cable!! Not to mention per Peter King the BEST SECONDARY IN THE NFL!!! Ohh and another thing we have… A SOLD OUT STADIUM which gives us the best home field advantage in the league!! One of the brightest young gm’s in football and a MASTER MOTIVATOR in Mr. PETE CARROLL…. Should i go on???? And what do you have??? ohhh yea you have…. WAIT NO YOU DONT HAVE BRANDON MARSHALL YOU TRADED HIM AWAY!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Stuck in the middle again.
Best Recipe:
Trade Down about 4 or 5 spots, no further than 13.
Pick up another draft pick and choose the best OL, DE, WR-Floyd, or LB that falls in the first.
Hate doing this again, but, get Weeden (smart, control) to compete.
Package late rounders to add more middle picks and aggressively select remaining needs in 2-3 rounds…

David Garrad was actually a Pro Bowl QB. Yes, he sat out for a back injury, but his was nothing compared to the P. Mannings risk. The Fins signed him to a minimum deal. At the very least we have a quality backup and experience in the Lockeroom. Matt Flynn offers absolutely nothing except hope (and a big Cap hit for a not guaranteed Starter). He might be good (I think he will be), but will be limited because the Seahawks are mediocre at best in talent ( no offense, I say this for the Colts and Redskins new QB’s as well). If the Fins passed on Flynn and decide to pass on Tannehill; I trust Philbin and Sherman’s judgement far more than a knucklehead Fan on Comment Blog.

Take Melvin Ingram or Quinton Coples at 8 then move up and take Tannehill

Atta boy Jeff. Don’t be pressured. You ween’t pressured into Kyle Orton. Don’t be pressured now.

But if you are going to take a QB, take Brandon Weeden.

By: jluns275

jluns275 — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 19:59:41 +0000

He should feel pressured. I’m not sure if he’s been keeping up on current events, but virtually NOBODY wants to play for the Dolphins as long as Ireland is GM.
I sympathize as a Chiefs fan. There came a point when nobody wanted to play for the Chiefs as long as Carl Peterson was there. Peterson is now working with Ireland in Miami. This will only get worse until a whole new front office is installed there. Dolphins fans deserve better.

liddogg33 what offense do you guys have other than a running back…go back to the drawing boards yet another miami hater. Do something with your life rather than waste your time with worthless words.

translation: He might be the answer for us at QB but we rather draft a tackle and try to find a QB in the second round or trade for one that sucks.

By: dolphan22

dolphan22 — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 19:43:49 +0000

@liddogg33 if flynn is so franchise there shouldn’t be an open competition and Pete Carroll shouldn’t be jizzing over himself wanting tannehill to fall to 12. Or am I missing something here…

By: diehard82

diehard82 — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 19:25:56 +0000

Which means of course that Ireland wants everyone to think they won’t take him at 8, to dissuade anyone else from trading with Jacksonville for Tannehill at 7. So much smoke this time of year. Cough, Gagh!

liddogg33 — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 19:13:55 +0000

Boy are all you Dolphin fans going to HATE your front office after Matt Flynn DOMINATES for Seattle this season!!! Just another example of why the Dolphins are the complete LAUGHING STOCK of proffesional football right now!! I guess mr BEN GAY David Garrard is the answer!!! What a total JOKE!! If i was in Miami right now i would be calling for these CLOWNS heads!!!

finfan813 — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 18:25:38 +0000

Tomtravis have you seen there schedule. If 9-7 team can make it to the playoff theres a chance for them. On that note tannehill is not the answer. But i dont see why we should suck up another season for a shot at that. On top of that if we draft a wr in the first, dl & ol in the second. Dolphins will be in decent shape. Matt moore deserves another chance there. He made something out of nothing with the team. I will laugh when the dolphins shock everyone this coming year.

If Sherman, who was his college coach, doesn’t strongly encourage Ireland to take him, what does that say about Tanneyhill? Would that cause a Brady Quinn or Aaron Rodgers (or Jimmy Clausen) type fall down the draft board?

“I have a pretty good idea of what I want at No. 8.”

Lotta I’s in that sentence.

One day, you might realize that “I” is your worst enemy–or maybe the owner will realize it first.

He’s a great kid. He’s smart, tough, has a good family background,” Ireland said of Tannehill.

Guess his mom checked out A-OK??

“…has a good family background.”
.
Really? He couldn’t have said strong arm or good mobility?
Looks like he definately learned his PR lesson with the Dez Bryant thing.

The Dolphins aren’t sniffing the playoffs this upcoming season, they are in rebuild once again. Don’t go after Tannehill. Next years QB class will be much deeper. The Dolphins will de drafting high next year, get one of those guys and get a player now that you can build with to be ready for that window they can make a run at the playoffs.

“There are times you should go after a first-round quarterback, but you shouldn’t be pressured into it,”

I guess Matt Ryan didn’t stand out eh?

Maybe he did stand out as a QB, even in college who choked whenever the season came down to one-and-done.

So his mother isn’t comparable to Dez Bryant’s?
