Innovative Ideas...

KCarr9 — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 21:44:49 -0000

The overwhelming majority readers of this fanpost will ride the suggestions off as asinine and ridiculous, and well, your probably right. These are the ideas that you've all thought of but realized they were too retarded to actually formulate into words. So ive reached deep into the inner mechanisms of my brain, and dragged out these intellectually small, yet revolitionary ideas, to transform your Miami dolphins into the Juggernaut we all know they can be!

1. Yes thats right, we kidnap Jeff Samardzjia from the Chicago Cubs. Well not literally kidnap, but what if we somehow induced a Tommy John esque injury? We could force him to give up his baseball dream and become the physical beast of a reciever the miami dolphins need! He was a former 1st round pick before he signed with the cursed cubs. He's 6'5 and 220 pounds of record breaking irsih wide receiver, and Lord knows we could use him now.

2. Yamamotoyama! ok so i dont know how to pronounce his name, but this guy weighs in at 252 kgs, thats about 555 pounds! Lets see Vince Wilfork try and move this guy, and the best part is, he just graduated high school. Think about it, all this guy does is push fat people around, lets teach him how to snap a football and get him out there!

3. Meet World Strongest Man, Mariusz Pudzianowski.

Bench Press: 275 kg (606 lb)

Squat: 360 kg (794 lb)

Deadlift: 395 kg (871 lb)

Yes, i really dont need to say much more, but he is 6'1, 291 pounds of pure, unroided muscle. Do have any clue of what we could do with him? Not really other than fullback, no matter how large i was.... I would shit my pants if he was coming out to block me..... and imagine him pulling!

4. Usain Bolt. Ok, so this isnt that original, but it's a good idea none the less. How much money can a track star make anyway? This guy seems like he would chase the cash money, and just look at those arms! He's stretch armstrong only he has gold medals, and isnt he like 6'6 or somthing? You can't teach what this guy has. Hire Brett Favre's retired ass to throw passes to him all day and make him catch the ball.... or just carefully apply some super glue.

5. Ok so i dont really know what we could do with Chuck Liddell, but he's pretty intimidating. I dont care how big you are, this guy would rip your throat out like Rambo. Hes scary to think about, and Bill Parcells would probably love this guy! He would give so many cheap shots to anyone who got within 5 yards of him, sign him to a one year deal and unleash him on Tom Brady's left knee!

PS. These are just fun ideas, i don't actually believe any of these ideas would work, so please don't act like im actually intellectually deficeint. Thanks!

Talking Lauranitis

KCarr9 — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 22:49:29 -0000

The other day i read an interesting article in The Sporting News about 40 yard dash times. In the article it mentioned which teams take the least value value in the 40 times, the Dolphins, Colts, and the Patriots value it the least, while Raiders, Rams, and Cheifs value it most. Looking at the way the previous drafts have gone it seems like the Fins, Colts, and Pats know whats up. This being said, James Lauranitis ran a gawd awful 40 time, and saw his draft staus drop faster than the NYSE. A few months ago, the 6 foot 2 inch slow poke was at the top of mock drafts, now, hes more than likely to be on the board when the Dolphins have their first pick. So this begs the question, do we pick this guy up?

NFL.com has this to say: Prototype size and athleticism for the inside linebacker position. ... Reads the action quickly and gets in position to make the play. ... Instinctive and rarely out of position. ... Uses his hands well to meet, greet and discard blockers. ... Best attribute might be his open-field tackling. ... Form tackler who can generate explosiveness with his hits. ... Rare instincts and underrated athleticism for coverage. ... Gets good depth on his drops and has good straight-line speed and lateral agility. ... Baits the quarterback and can break on the ball. ... Soft hands for the interception.

Negatives: Needs to continue to add strength, especially in his upper body. ... Relies on his athleticism and good technique to defeat blocks and can struggle to disengage. ... Consistent and reliable, but rarely made the game-changing play over his career. ... Experienced and productive blitzer, but doesn't show a variety of pass rush moves, relying more on athleticism, hustle and instincts.

While inside linebacker isnt our most pressing need, this man mountain of awesomness amassed 366 career tackles. In my opinion, forget the measurables, if you can play football, you can play football. Measurables only mean so much, just ask the New York Jets and Vernon Leaf...... I mean Gholston

Shawn Murphy and Such....

KCarr9 — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 17:46:09 -0000

First comes first, what happened to our fourth round pick, Shawn Murphy. Draft day we traded lorenzo booker to obtain him, and now he is inactive every week. We continually sign new guards to take his place, instead of giving him a chance. Is is really that bad? In some ways this reminds of how Cam Cameron treated Jason Allen. Allen had to wait until 3rd string type safeties got injured (think cameron worrell) before he was offered a chance to play. While he did give up the occasional deep pass, I do recall a game in which he had 2 interceptions which flashed a small amount of his potential.

Just out of curiosity, did anyone happen to read the ESPN article about revolutionizing the NFL offenses. In case you missed it, heres the link ,ESPN Article. These hybrid type offenses have already shown they can give an inferior team an advatage over a physically dominating team. With that being said, if a guy like Tim Tebow is available in lets say, the 3rd or 4th round, is he worth a shot. Imagine running the wildcat offense, but with a running back who is a very good passer (Tebow). The possibilities are endless.

Well it was nice to post again guys, and I look forward to hearing some thoughts on the topics above.

High School Football

KCarr9 — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 22:47:38 -0000

While the Dolphins lost this weekend, i found comfort in the fact that the high school team i play for defeated our opponent 44-6. I personally rushed for 66 yards on 7 carries, had 4 solo tackles, and one saftey. Were on our way to the 1A Florida State championship road, and I hope you guys can follow along with some of the Broward High School teams. Here is a link to the recap of last week's Broward games.

Jesse Chatman Suspended

KCarr9 — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 14:54:17 -0000

In more former Dolphins news, Jesse Chatman, one of the feel good stories for the dolphins the last couple of years has been suspended four games for violating the the league's steroid policy. NFL story here. Chatman was released this year and picked up by none other than the Jets, most of you will remember Chatman was out of the league for one year for being a fatty. I had respect for this man, but right now im viewing his accomplishments in a new light.

Dolphins and Brett

KCarr9 — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:06:52 -0000

This was an article i stumbled upon on NFL.

Packers GM Ted Thompson had his staff compile a list of potential trade partners not long after Favre's demand for his outright release, reports the Wisconsin State Journal. The teams on that list include the Jets, Ravens, Dolphins and Texans in the AFC and Panthers, Buccaneers, Falcons and Redskins in the NFC, according to the report.

I personally dont like the idea of adding another quarterback to our roster, even if it is Brett Favre, but now it seems like a real possibility of him coming to Miami because I dont believe the Packers would trade him within the NFC.

The Future!!!

KCarr9 — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 22:07:27 -0000

Well it seems quite clear that the Dolphins are looking toward the future, packaging off vertern players like Chris Chambers and Jason Taylor have put a sick feeling in my gut. The upside is that it looks like we will have another high selecting point in the draft next year and a good amount of picks to get quality players to fill our (still) glaring weaknessess. So assuming that our roster remains the same and one of our three Quaterbacks does somthing positive I look to see some of these players in a Miami Dolphins uniform come 2009.

James Lauranitis, LB, Ohio State- Could have gone in the top 15 this year, but decided he would like to lose in the National Championship again. Has a great motor and in my personal opinion is a psycho.

Malcolm Jenkins, DB, Ohio State- Another one who could have gone in the 1st round this year, Hes everything you want in a cornerback.

Duke Robinson, OG, Oklahoma- This guy is 6'5 330 pounds. Could have been the top guard in the draft this year, would be dominant on anyone's line.

Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech- Another freak talent like Calvin Johnson, his stats were inflated by Texas Tech's system but will still be a number one receiver in the NFL.

Tim Tebow QB/FB/DL (just kidding) Florida- While i find it unlikely that Miami would draft Tebow, he will be a very interesting NFL prospect. He runs in the Lower/Middle 40 of the 40 yard dash and weighs a whopping 235.

Cornelius Ingram, TE/WR, Florida- Could be availible in the 2nd round, is more of a receiving TE than a blocking TE, somthing the Dolphins currently lack.

Derry Beckwith OLB, LSU and Brandon Spikes ILB Florida- Either could be available in the second round with luck and would add some great depth.

Also Look at: Sean Lee, OLB, Penn State. Myron Rolle, FS FSU. Vontae Davis CB, Illinois

Injury leads to trade talk

KCarr9 — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 19:24:31 -0000

Apparently Phillip Daniels of the Redskins has been injured and the Redskins are now interested in acquiring Jason Taylor. Since they are in a bind they are in no position to hardball the Dolphins, and could give up as much as a 2nd round pick. However the story is being reported by ESPN and could be complete B/S. However I will let you guys decide, the link is here ESPN Article GO DAN UGGLA AND THE FLORIDA MARLINS (needed a few more words)

Our "Needy" Spots

KCarr9 — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 15:23:03 -0000

In my mind there is no way that the 2008 Miami Dolphins' roster is set. With that being said i do not want this year to be a complete rebuilding year where we simply play our young and inexpierenced guys to attempt to make them better football players; and with some decent players still available (or going to be made avalible) some moves are probably going to be made.

Wide Receiver-

Joe Horn: Has recently been demanding a trade, but theres not a huge market for a 36 year old disgruntled wide out. There are reports that the falcons are going to release in order to get their youngers players more playing time.

Matt Jones: Recently busted for drugs, the former 1st round pick seems destined to be released by the Jaguars. Would the Dolphins really take a chance on this character?

Chris Henry: Had his charges recently dropped which means he will most likley be reinstated in the near future. Another character issue but is certainly a good football player.

Eric Moulds- Could benefit our younger receivers due to his extensive experience,but not a whole lot else.The free agent has yet to be signed.

Look to the future (free agents 2009)

Roy Williams, Marques Colston, T.J. Whos Ya Mamma

Offensive Line-

LeCharles Bentley- The guys everyone is talking about, certainly could be a nice fit at guard if he managed to stay in shape and uninjured.

Kyle Turley- Ok, everyone knows this guy from taking his helmet off and beating his opponent with it, but he was cut by the chiefs after missing the entire 2007 season, another injury risk type player.

Max Starks- A former gator who most recently played with the Steelers. Was a solid back up and could be the same in Miami.

Look to the Future

Mark Tauscher, Mike Goff, Jordan Gross, Stacey Andrews

Defensive Backs-

Dominique Foxworth- Restricted Free agent of the Broncos, could add depth to a shallow defensive backfield.

Reynaldo Hill- See D. Foxworth.

Jonathan Zenon- Recently out of LSU, signed and cut by the Jets.

Look to the Future

Nnamdi Asomugha, Mike Brown, John Lynch, Deltha O'Neal, Darren Sharper

Linebackers-

Takeo Spikes- The two time pro bowler recently met with the lions however a deal is unlikely. If Jason Taylor does indeed leave then Spikes could add depth and leadership to a linebacking core that needs it.

Jeremiah Trotter- Another veteran who could step in and provide leadership should Jason be traded away. Personally i don't have a whole lot of faith in Charlie Anderson.

Junior Seau- Would not be a full time player but if utilized correctly could be beneficial to a young linebacker core.

Look to the Future-

James Farrior, Ray Lewis, Bart Scott, Terrell Suggs, Jonathan Vilma

So tell me what you guys think? Who would the best fits be and if any of them would actually happen. And it definitely seems as if the free agent class of 09 is going to be a monster.

Vic Carruci

KCarr9 — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:50:34 -0000

This is just a interesting video from NFL.com, it doesnt say a whole lot that we dont already know but is still worth watching none the less. Vic Carruci Interview. It basically states that the Big Three dont know yet who the leaders are going to be and also says that Quentin Moses and Charlie Anderson are doing a decent job in Jason Taylor's abscense. That makes me feel mildly better but i still wouldnt replace jason with either of them. There is also a clip of Ricky Williams getting a handoff and he looks pretty crisp and fast to me. Give the video a look.
