Enough Torture, Finally Out of the Misery And Happy New Years!!!!

 

 

First and foremost, Happy New Year’s Day gang, and thank you for continuing your support in your outrageous articles and arguments at our virtual oasis. Stay safe and enjoy your day off with family and loved ones on the highways and on the town. Special thoughts and prayers always go out to our troops and civilians protecting our borders and American interests, here at the F’ME. Time to sit back and enjoy a couple of bowl games and watch the upcoming talent as we drool over the college phenomena’s that can instantly upgrade the talent on our team and provide us with more average depth. Remember that just because they look like a stud in college, that they could look like a cretined eunuch while wearing aqua and orange. I plan on drinking myself into amnesia in memory of this season but just one thing bugging me before I check out.

 

So you finally hit the lottery. You buy yourself a new Ferrari and let the chick who can’t drive a stick rev it, take some pictures after waxing her, hehe, and right before you take it screaming down the boulevard, you drain the oil. That’s about how idiotic you have to be to finally land a franchise QB and after watching him get brutalized by the Patriots wobbling punched-drunk not knowing which sideline was his, let him back in the game when it was all but over. With Jonathan Martin riding shotgun. How any coach or doctor in his right mind would have let him back in is beyond me when the kid couldn’t count to three but who wanted to see Matt Moore throw a TD and start a controversy, huh? This is usually when other QBs throw for an extra 300 yards but we’re the Dolphins. For once I agreed with the announcers. Why risk more injury to Tannehill when we’re down 21 points and if I was Philbin, I would have overruled. This is just one of those games that I just wanted to get out as soon as possible without ruining one of the future starters that you knew might happen. The football gods must have barely been able to contain themselves from death by laughter as they allowed us to march up the field only to have Reggie Bush lay it on the turf, and later disgustingly hurling it when he didn’t get his precious “1K”. Most RBs who want to lead the league in rushing surpass that obsolete milestone. I wonder if Philbin benches him in next spring’s OTAs? I’m not here to bitch and moan as I plan on drinking this nightmare away but there is good news, like the scary dreams you will into a porn dream. It just takes a little imagination and figuring out which pieces need to be replaced first. For the next couple of months we’ll be analyzing every previous play of the last half decade and try to decipher which plays Jeff Ireland was mostly responsible for. The only solace is I see a couple of young blue chips mixed among the acorns: players like Reshad Jones, Ryan Tannehill, Mike Pouncey, Rishard Matthews, and Cameron Wake. Sure, I would resign Brian Hartline but not many more on the free agency list. As much as I was a Jake Long fan, it was a dismal year and who knows if he can ever play at the Pro Bowl level again, but do you risk JMartin again? Now that the season is done, who’s your keepers and who do you bring in for free agency?

 

Stay safe my friends and best regards from the Chiefen and Squaw here at Fin’s Mob ExoduSS.

    Wow Tim, this place was hoppin’ and now it’s just me, you and the crickets. Don’t people have the internet in their living rooms?

  2. Jahndoh on said:

    Tim regarding your last post on Keenan. I’d probably get pretty excited if we drafted him. It’s just top end speed and the injury issue that hampers him. Torn PCL this season cost him games, and he’s going to have to prove he can run (which has always been the ONLY question about him…can he get those chunk yardage plays in NFL games where everybody is faster) if he wants to go in the top half of the first round.

    I’m not against it. I have honestly been wrong too many times on players to think that I can actually project them from college to the next level

    • Jahndoh on said:

      Interestingly, Percy Harvin, who I compared him too went 22nd overall. Then again, Ted Ginn Jr. went 9th. LOL!

  3. Marinofan13 on said:

    Keep in mind that those were Keenan Allen’s all-time HIGHLIGHTS, not game-tape of every snap he’s taken in a game.

    And if that’s the BEST he has to offer after 3 years of tape (75% of the time falling down/tackled within 3 yards of the catch), we don’t need him @ R1P12. He’s not ELITE, he’s just nice. Plus, he’s not as fast as he once was (as seen on the highlights when he was younger, without injury).

    I’m not trying to be a d!ck by any means, but this guy has MAJOR warts. And no… he’s NOT going to “take the top off the Secondary” like some try to claim. That’s FALSE. He’s half the man he was in those highlights, which weren’t that good to begin with.

    Yes, his brother didn’t help his cause, to be sure. But would you mortgage your house (R1P12) on this guy? He’s no Justin Hunter. JMHO

    BUYER BEWARE

    • Tim Knight on said:

      He’s better than Hunter right now but we don’t know Hunter’s ceiling yet.

      Look through the bad QB play and you see Keenan is a guy on a limited offense trying to do everything and sometimes he does. I see a fast player here. Not a 40 yard guy, a quick, big man playing football.

      If he became a 90-1,242 13.8 12 TD guy you’d be against that because he’s not a pure burner?

      I don’t want to go on record saying he’s my pick because I’m more open-minded than that, but he would make us better right away.

      • Marinofan13 on said:

        He’d be a great pick… but NOT @ R1P12, IMHO. I think his ceiling is limited, but that’s just me.

  4. Tim Knight on said:

    LOL @ Jahn

    All I’m gonna say is Keenan Allen intrigues me and I think you have to look at his individual skill and competitiveness and try to translate that to the NFL. His QB really stinks. Tebow-like with accuracy. Just flick it to him whenever you can because he’s our best player. Not a lot of great executed pass plays.

    • Jahndoh on said:

      Ya know, you sold me on Percy Harvin, and this guy is even bigger (though not as fast). He could be just what the Dr. ordered for this offense. With a true threat opposite him, Hartline’s production would definitely go up, and Bess is always reliable, so having another threat on the field can only help him.

      Add Jennings to the mix and we may turn a team weakness into a team strength.

  5. Jahndoh on said:

    I’m with ya Tim. M13, I’ve watched as many snaps of him as any other casual west coast college football fan, and tbh, I think you’re severely undervalueing him.

    I DO have a serious question about his ability to replicate his production at the next level, because of a question about speed, but I have NO complaints about what I saw of him watching Cal games.

    FWIW, I’m basically a Bruin/Bear, as I attended UC Santa Barbara, and we didn’t have a football team, and my wife went to UCLA, where I grew up in the Bay area and went to cal games as a kid. As you also know, Hawaii is where some of my closest family/friends live, so I’m a ‘Bows fan as well (always Bows to me!!!).

  6. Marinofan13 on said:

    Jahndoh,

    Have you ever seen Cordarrelle Patterson play? Man, he can take a mere dump-off pass to the house on any given play. THAT’S what I want to see in a #1 WR pick. No, not like Ted Ginn and his fam… but more like Megatron.

  7. Marinofan13 on said:

    IMHO, Cordarrelle Patterson is the “Bruce Irvin” of this Draft class. His Combine won’t break him, but his Combine could MAKE him… as in, top WR chosen in the 2013 Draft.

  8. The Flying Pig on said:

    I’m back

    just saw that Jenning had a big game last week

    oops – sort of kills my argument

    but what about Jermichael Finley instead of Jennings
    I don;t want to becoem the Packers south but Finley might be what we need

    and then you can keep Fasano and not have to wrry about drafting a TE, or let Fasano go and draft a TE in the late rounds

    • ElephantRider on said:

      Finley is very inconsistent… Drops alot of balls. But when he hangs onto that 8yd catch, here comes the celebration dance. Hate to see him or Driver here.

  9. Walker, if you’re lurking…. got my $10 in for the college picks. If anything like nfl, consider it a donation lol

  10. The Flying Pig on said:

    On Allen

    I think he is the most polished of the class
    And is ready for the NFL
    Although I agree with M13 about his ceiling being limited

    I can see Allen being a 100 catch guy
    but I find it hard to beleive he will open up an offense the way a more expolsove WR would

    I would take a player like Hunter for 6-070 catches over Allen for 90-100 catches b/c of the yards per catch

    Allen is a very clean WR
    but Hunter will break your back

    I think Patterson, Williams, Austin, Hopkins and Woods have that break your back ability too

    And I can’t sya enough good things about Hopkins
    this guy has incredible hands and tenacity – the ball is his if its near him, don’t even both DB
    That is what I want for young Tanny

    Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  11. Tim Knight on said:

    Jennings is a much better player than Finley.

  12. professorlou on said:

    Hunt has gone from a 5th rd projection to a 2nd rd projection in a very short period of time.

  13. Tim Knight on said:

    Piggy, I think Hunter is the wildcard of this draft. When to take him based on upside. If he runs a sub 4.4 he goes top 15. It’s just the way it is.

    My view on Allen is he will probably be a good 1,000+ WR for a long time. 1st downs and red zone is important and not paying a guy anywhere near $50M for at least 4-5 years is a plus.

    • professorlou on said:

      The thing about Hunter is he’s raw and you don’t know what his ceiling is. Hopkins scares me a little because, when I watch his game tape (not highlights) he’s never pressed by any db’s. He’s allowed to run free and get open where he’s not going to get that in the NFL. Very few times do you see a corner matched up with him. It’s usually zone and that’s it. However, he does make some nice catches and he does get some extra yards after catching the ball. He’s a tough kid too and that’s a good thing.
      Allen is just possession. He catches everything but he doesn’t get YAC. It amazes me when you see some guys dropping out of the first round and others moving up into the first and second that Allen is still in the first round. He will be a steady receiver but he’s a compliment to other receivers and not the guy who’ll draw the double.
      Austin is like a water bug. He’s small but he’s quick AND fast and although I wouldn’t want to hang my hat on him as the #1 it would be great if he was one of three starters next year along with another guy from the draft.
      The wildcard is Wheaton. He’s fast and he’s a football player and what alot of people like about the guy and why he’s moved up significantly since the bowl game is he catches the ball very well and he does it with his hands. He’s now anywhere from a high to mid second rd pick. I like Williams a lot but if they don’t land Williams and they pick two receivers I would definitely want Wheaton to be one of the two.

  14. All these mock drafts…. they get us locked into a certain position… then BAM, we go lineman. LOL

    • Tim Knight on said:

      Based on where we are now.
      1. protect Tanny
      2. more explosive playmakers
      3. rush the passer better
      4. cover the pass better
      5. remain solid overall on defense and STs.

  15. Mike E. on said:

    Evening people!

    The draft is so far away, and I feel like we’ve been talking about it for months already. Oy! lol

  16. Hunter, is an amazing lights out athlete and is my preference for the WR position in the draft, but I see positives in many of the others games that make them valuable just as well. Allen is a talented guy, whether or not I like the diva shit with him. He can run well and can be very slick after the catch, but he is not a pure burner. Could be a very effective WR who put’s up nice numbers in the redzone with an over the top threat. Patterson is an amazing tight space player, but is still refining himself as a WR and will take more time than Allen. Patterson has a much higher cieling, but also has a higher bust rate to go along with it…..But if he test’s really well, the Raiders will take him as there first pick. The main reason I’d love Hunter for this team or Williams is the vertical factor they would add to the offense. There are many player with very good route running ability and play making ability in the intermediate parts of the field that you could find a starter and high quality contributor in the 4th round range.

    • professorlou on said:

      Hunter is the guy who can go up and get the ball and has shown in college he has the ability to make some great catches. He is definitely an amazing athlete but, when you watch him sometimes he makes some bonehead moves. Hopefully he will grow out of that when he matures.
      If Ireland was only to pick one receiver in the draft I’d want it to be Williams, Hunter, Hopkins or Wheaton. Allen is a good receiver but he’s not necessarily going to be a significant offensive weapon if you put him in there with Bess and Hartline.

      • I agree with the Allen assesment which is why I said he would need the over the top threat. If Miami signed someone like Mike Wallace, I hate Wallace and don’t want him in Miami, then Allen would absolutely thrive. I will be happy with Hopkins, Hunter, or Williams. Unfortunately I still don’t have a great feel for Wheaton after he pretty much got no locks from his QB in the bowl game. QB play was bad, so I don’t blame him.

  17. Mike E. on said:

    D-Bolt,

    If we signed Jennings, Patterson sounds like the perfect guy to let develop at his own pace. Do you agree?

    • Nope, if I grabbed Jennings then I’d use a 2nd on Hopkins, Woods, but most def. if available Patton because I think Hopkins jumped to the 1st round after last night. Patterson will be a first round pick and wouldn’t be around to the second round. If I took a WR in the first after signing Jennings it would be either Hunter, Williams, or Hopkins.

  18. Tim Knight on said:

    Lou, A. Boldin is a 4.6/4.7 guy who keeps making plays and reaching the playoffs. It’s not all about 40 speed. Size and strength to break tackles and score happens too.

    Keenan Allen looks the part. If I reach so be it, he looks the part. Keep his option open.

    • professorlou on said:

      Touchdown production, or lack thereof, is what worries me. Why can’t he score? Is it all on the qb or is it that he can’t get separation when they get closer to the end zone.

    • Tim,
      Allen is a guy who carries his pads well. I wish they timed the 40 in pads…..but for him to be his utmost effective you want a big time speedster opposite of him and then you maximize his potential.

  21. professorlou on said:

    One guy I want to take a look at tonight is Martel Moore from NIU. NaPalm’s teammate. It’s going to interesting to see what he can do against the better talent on defense. He’s probably going to be matched up against Rhodes. Perez Ashford is the guy on the other side. Both good receivers and we’ll see how good they are tonight going against FSU. Plus we get to watch Werner and Rhodes. Hope it’s a good game like the Clemson vs LSU game.

    • Marinofan13 on said:

      Who is this NaPalm you speak of? JK/LOL. LOVE NaPalm!!!
      :D

      • professorlou on said:

        It would have been nice if Ireland got him in the Davis trade with the pick. NaPalm is going to burn some people. He just needs the chance.

    OK – Who here knows what the word or expression is when 2 monkeys are fighting and then one surrenders and gives up? Trying to think of it, and I’m coming up blank.

  23. The Flying Pig on said:

    Lou

    I agree with you 8:05 point in reagrds to Allen
    That is sort of what I am thinking with Allen

    Allen with another explosive WR could be great
    but Allen on our offense…eh…who is there it stretch the field

    Of course I am in favor of drafting 2 WRs early
    and in that scenario if it Allen and Williams, for instance – well that can be special

    but it would be hard to make that happen b/c Allen may be the 1st WR off the board
    and is ceratin to be a 1st rounder IMO

    I thik a team like Seattle or Minnesota may be a better fit for Allen

    One thing about Allen – he would be a heck of a reliable target for Tanny
    If he were the pick, no one should complain

  24. Different topic, but have you guys caught the trailer for the new Man Of Steel movie. Looks like they are finally going to do Supe’s right!

    Reminds of the time at Busch Gardens and a mandrill starts showing off his masterbation skills. You could have heard a pin drop when this little boy asks his hot mom, Mommy what’s that monkey doing? I wanted to say, “It’s a mandrill kid” but instead I said, “Yeah mom, what’s that monkey doing?” as a lot of snickering was going on.

    • Sounds like a Friday night in Times Square but those are not monkeys.

    • I went to the Toronto zoo as part of my senior class trip and saw something similar, but much worse. We were at the Orangutang exhibit when thei big male just walked up to this little male and butt raped him in front of the crowd. And this little boy asked his mother the same question…..and then she told him they were just playing. “He then asked her why the little one kept rubbing his eyes like he was crying. That was a classic moment in my life knowing that kid learned about the birds and the birds right in front of me :)

    M13

    On the darft you posted earlier that had 1 QB in the 1st round I meant to post this earlier

    It seems there is a growing trend of people suggesting that the QBs available are not worht early picks

    Personally I think come draft day we will see a bunch of QBs in the top 10…maybe even 4

    1. I think people are coparing this class to last year. Its not Rg3 and Luck – so they are selling these guy short, but its probably better than the class of 2011
    2. Look at how well the rookies drafted in 2012 performed
    3. the rookie salary cap makes rooks more desirable than vets – especially the highest paid position
    4. they aren;t about to change the rules back to what they were pre-goodell. its still a passing league
    5. its no coincidence that the teams that are picking early all need Qbs
    6. I can;t think of any FA QBs that are really worth looking at

    KC, Buffalo, Jests, Jax, Oakland, Philly, Dallas, AZ and even the Browns are a threat
    Jax is probably less likel especially if they land Tebow
    but some of the fans of those teams will lose it if their team doesnt reach for a qb
    Gabbert, Locker and Ponder were reaches in 2011
    Heck, Tanny and Weeden were considered reaches last year

    Geno Smith will go #1 and the othe teams will line up for Barkley, Glennon and the AK Wb wo name escapes me now

    4.

    • Geno Smith is not going no.1 No way. He is not that good. Very disappointing 2nd half of the season. He has bust written all over him. Glennon is getting a lot of love but I am not that impressed with him. Look for Murray from Georgia to go high if he should declare for the draft. I also suspect Landry Jones will move up the draft boards. He has quietly put together a very solid season. Barkley will go in 1st round. Tyler Wilson is not going to be a 1st round pick. Not sure where Bray will go. He has the physical tools but this class of QBs is a disappointing crop. I don’t see any one going no. 1 overall and I think maybe 3 go in the 1st round.

    • professorlou on said:

      I think you will see Wilson go to someone in the first who needs a qb. Good comp%, good yds and good td/int ration but the thing that was more impressive to me, although he threw a few more int’s this year, was he lost his three main weapons in the passing game when Adams, Wright and Greg Childs and he still had a pretty good year. He’s got the arm, the size and the accuracy.

    another mok with us taking Allen

    interesting the only other WR taken is Patterson

    i that held up taking a WR would be a mistake
    in the 2nd you would have Williams, Hunter, Hopkins Austin and woods available…wow

  31. Jahndoh on said:

    Kind of a yawner of a Rose Bowl. Ertz is another guy that doesn’t impress me all that much. I don’t think he’s an upgrade over Fasano. IS there on in this draft or FA? Probably a matter of opinion, but I see Fasano, Dallas Clark, Gonzales and Keller. Fasano’s better then all but Gonzales IMHO, and Tony isn’t playing anywhere but in Atlanta at this point (also IMHO).

    • You also have Cook who would be a bigger threat in the passing game. Not sure abour his attitude, but he has top shlef athleticism.

      • Jahndoh on said:

        I’m sorry, is Cook a college guy? I’m just broaching the tip of the iceberg when it comes to draft prospects. I don’t see him on my cheatsheet.

    • The Flying Pig on said:

      Cook is a FA too

      I think Keller is a much better receiver than Fasano and has been bailing Sanchez out for years
      he is a crappy blocker though – he is basically a tall WR

      Clark is done

      Gonzales is up there but continues to play at a high level

    • professorlou on said:

      Only TE that looks good so far is Reed.

    • had to step out for quite some time… did you order think-like-a-king Maybe MF13 would be up for some email chess… it’s not about winning or losing it’s about learning…. games would give you something to ask about.

      also, I’m in on Eifert first round.

  32. Jahndoh on said:

    Piggy and M13 are starting to make me think there’s an anti West Coast thing affecting their WR assesments ;-)

    I think you should give the GM some room to make his own decision. If Keenan Allen checks out physically and runs a decent 40, he’ll be mocked to us by a whole bunch of people. I’d get my head around it if I were you guys.

    M13, Yes, I’ve seen Cordarelle play, not as much as Allen, but honestly, Allen is WAY more polished then he is, ready to contribute from day one. We don’t need to waste 1 or 2 contract years of Tannehill waiting for a more raw guy to reach some sort of assumed “ceiling”.

    You guys are selling Allen short saying he has a low ceiling…of that much I’m sure.

    • The Flying Pig on said:

      I like Woods (USC) and I’m starting to notice Marcus Wheaton too (OSU)

      keep in mind who you are talking too…M13 and I are both fliers in the sky

      We like speed!

      Zooooooooooooooooooooooooom

      Allen is not as fast as the others
      Its his major deficiency, but there is not a lot of others

      He is polished just not very fast

    Yes, FSU in the Orange Bowl and not as the enemy

  36. Lou,
    Markus Wheaton is fast as shit…looking at his track time in the 100m’s, but holy shit does he have a bad start. If he can start coming off the line quicker in both track and football he would be a monster.

  37. Jahndoh on said:

    “I think Keller is a much better receiver than Fasano and has been bailing Sanchez out for years
    he is a crappy blocker though – he is basically a tall WR”

    OMG…I threw up in my mouth a little reading this. Keller is a pedestrian receiver (certainly not clearly BETTER then Fasano IMHO) and like you said he’s a horrible blocker. JMHO of course. But I would be pretty pissed if we jettisoned one of our most reliable offensive players the last 4 years for that piece of trash.

    • I like Fasano a lot!!! dude, has been a workhorse blocking and trying to get those big catches. He literally has no help at that position on this team. We can get another TE to help him, but certainly not to replace him.

    • The Flying Pig on said:

      Put your jests hate away for a sec

      Keller’s worst year (befoe this year) is his rookie year when he caught 45 passes
      which is more than Fasano has ever caught

      He is a receiving TE

      that it what he does
      he is a one trick pony like Shannon Sharpe was…but Sharpe had the record (and still does I think) for most catches by a TE

      If Egnew ever plays, that is basically what Egnew would be
      just a pass catcher

  38. Piggy,
    lay off an USC Wrs. they are all prima donnas and overhyped.

    I just watched Cordarrelle’s highlight vids, and man, that guy is just crazy when he gets some space to run. He is so damned shifty, and difficult to grab onto. I like what I saw. I understand he may need time to perfect his craft, but if you sign a Greg Jennings, to me, that’s a great opportunity to get this kid on the field in the right situations, and let his athleticism show out. Kid can ball!

  41. Jahn:

    Fasano is not as good as you believe he is. That said Keller is not an upgrade over him. He is pedestrian at best.

  43. Jahn,
    Jared Cook from the Titans. He can both block and get out on patterns. He’s the only TE this season I really saw burn Jones big time.

  44. The Flying Pig on said:

    Rhino

    I never judge a prospect by his school

    Jahn and Ken

    stop making me defend the jests player. I won’t do it anymore. Assuming Kellert is an upgrade at TE and a better receiving threat than Fasano, you simply can’t ignore the herpes and beastiality…there, now I feel whole again

  45. Jahndoh on said:

    Pig, I think Allen is WAY faster then you think. I don’t know if he’ll be healed up enough from the knee injury to run in the combine, but if he isn’t, he’s a value later in the 1st.

    I could be wrong, but I think football speed (which he clearly has if you watch him play) is way more important then 40 speed, and I think he’s got faster 40 speed then you think.

    JMHO, and I could easily be wrong. That IS truly the only question about him, and Jerry Rice sure wasn’t very fast. Speed is overrated. Sorry…I still love you flyers. :-P

    • He carries his pads like Ftiz. Might not have elite forty time, but runs like he’s not weighed down by pads.

    • The Flying Pig on said:

      I agree about football speed

      but that is my argument for Hopkins not Allen

      Allen doesn’t play fast

      its not the 40 time that concerns me, its the acceleration after the catch

      I thought Allen’s injury was a shoulder injury, woods is an ankle, and Hunter is a knee

      maybe I missed a booboo…lol

      • Wyoming85 on said:

        You missed someone hmmmmmmmmmm
        thats right Williams doesn’t have a major injury to his resume that I know of

      • I think Allen’s was his knee. I’ve seen him get behind defender plenty, but his brother goes all orangutang on him. I won’t complain if he’s drafted, but we need a over the top threat if he is. His speed and cut backs are better than what he’s getting credit for on here. He probably had more defnders solely focusing on him than any other receiver in college or the pro’s, so he had very little room to work with. That being said I still prefer Hunter, but I won’t be upset if Allen is a Fin!

      • professorlou on said:

        I agree. Hopkins is slower in the 40 than Allen but when he catches the ball he is quicker upfield.

        • The Flying Pig on said:

          and nasty too…lol

          watching the game last night the when the LSU players tried to bring him down and there was a scuffle on the sideline says a lot

    I think my wife has the same long underwear as Manuel

  47. Walker,
    Your story brought back that memory and I started choking on my beer thinking about how funny that was!

    • Jahndoh on said:

      Hey Ken, you really shouldn’t have to GUESS what I think about Fasano, so here’s a quote from, well, earlier today:

      “Again, I don’t want to overstate my case. He’s not a world beater, but I think he’s far better then so many people I’ve read on this blog give him credit for, and I think he suffers from an image problem based on the GM that brought him here.”

      Pick somebody who’s not me, ESPN, PFF, and service that grades players…he’s a top 10 TE almost every single year. You may not value him that way because you want some sexy 4.4 TE that “stretches” the seam, but I got news for you, SF never had that player and they won 5 superbowls with this offense. GB won a SB with Finlay, yeah, but they can’t wait to show him the exit.

      There’s more to the TE position then speed.

  48. The Flying Pig on said:

    By the way speaking of 40 times and receivers

    do you guys know what Calvin Johnson’s time was?

  49. Wyoming85 on said:

    Piggy

    yes that was sarcasm
    And no I can’t find any injuries on williams

  50. Jahn:

    I know you are high on Fasano but I just don’t see the talent in him. His blocking really fell off this year. He is slow and can’t stretch the field. He is one player and position we really need to upgrade. He is a good guy to have on the team but not as the starting TE imo.

    • Jahndoh on said:

      TE’s generally can’t stretch the field. It’s a pipe dream. There’s no TE in FA (I admit, I have to look at Cook more closely, but other then him….) or the draft that is going to stretch an NFL defense. All they have to do is catch the ball when a LB is covering them. Fasano does that quite well, because that’s more about using your body then you speed.

      The concept of separation and the TE spot is figment of fans imaginations.

      • Plenty of TEs in the NFL create separation these days. Vernon Davis, Gronkowski, Graham, Hernandez, Dallas Clark has for years (he has lost a step imo), Gresham. These guys gain separation and go vertical on a regular basis. Fasano cannot do that.

        • Jahndoh on said:

          So which one of those guys can you sign to upgrade Fasano? That’s my only point. It’s just Fasano bashing. He’s our best TE option in 2013.

  51. Jahndoh on said:

    Great article about 40 times:

    http://blog.nola.com/jeffduncan/2009/03/40yard_dash_is_just_a_waste_of.html

    “In 2003, the Arizona Cardinals selected Penn State wide receiver Bryant Johnston with the 17th pick of the first round after watching him run a 4.37 40 at his pro day. Thirty-six picks later, with the No. 54 pick of the second round, they took Anquan Boldin, a wide receiver from Florida State, who clocked a pedestrian time of 4.71.”

    You know what Jerry Rice’s 40 time was?
    *************************************

    I hear you Jahn
    sometimes it means very little

    But CalvinJohnson is an example of when it means a lot

    If you had to pick one WR and they were the same exact age would you take Rice or Calvin Johnson

    I think Rice is the greatest of all time but I take Calvin Johnson who is also in the record books

    • Jahndoh on said:

      Troy Williamson?
      Anquan Boldin?

      I’m BB here, but there’s a littany of proof that the 40 time is overrated. The article I posted above is pretty good.

      But to you and Ken both I’ll say: Hey, I might be wrong. It’s been known to happen. :-D

  53. Wyoming85 on said:

    Yes I really like Williams but I’ve probably watched more Baylor games than any of the other WR’s
    He just looks smooth to me

    Although Hopkins made me think twice last night

  54. The Flying Pig on said:

    People say Randy Moss ran a 4.25

    Wow!

    but that is all he does, run streaks

    and he isprobably more like 4.6 now…lol

    • Jahndoh on said:

      yeah, he DID make a living off his straight line speed. No doubt. That’s a rare breed, but maybe, just maybe, 4.2 speed IS fast enough to do it.

  55. NICE TD – GO FSU!!!

  56. Jahn,
    WHat the hell’s your issue dude? I’m having a friendly convo about orangutang sodomy and you enter our convo with a reply about Fasano????? What are you getting at????LOL

  57. The Flying Pig on said:

    Jahn its not overrated

    its overstated

    That might sound like semantics

    but the fact is speed kills
    and is always has

    if a DB has to give a WR a little cushion a good offense can take adavatge of that

    but if the WR can’t do anything else but run a fast 40
    his number is worhtless

    • Jahndoh on said:

      That doesn’t SOUND like semantics, it IS.

      I could argue about the differences of the definitions of the two, but you already schooled me today on the difference between “many” and “some”, so I’ll do that monkey submission thing that Mike is trying to remember what it’s called :-P

      • Jahndoh on said:

        And to be fair, while I think 40 is overrated, I don’t want to paint myself into a corner, it is most definitely NOT useless.

      • The Flying Pig on said:

        I mean speed is valuable
        but its no reason to ignore other qualities

    • The Flying Pig on said:

      Boldin is an interesting example

      He has to be the most physical WR to play in the NFL in a long time
      Maybe Marshall is comprable

      Marshall ran a 4.52

      here are some other notable ones
      Ginn 4.28
      Crhis Johnson 4.24
      Heyward Bey 4.25
      Manningham 4.59
      Ande Johnson 4.41
      Larry Fitzgerald 4.63

      • Jahndoh on said:

        I like that list. It’s fair. We both have some ammo there. Speed CAN kill. No doubt. But it also can KILL a GM if he falls in love with a stat that doesn’t translate on Sundays.

        • The Flying Pig on said:

          You aren’t arguing with Al Davis here

          I have some perspective on speed

          I would love it if they ran 10 yard dashes that would probably say a lot more about the way the game is played…lol

    • professorlou on said:

      Ginn and Gates?
      I don’t care what a guy’s 40 time is either. It only matters that he’s able to get open, catch the ball, get yards after the catch and score td’s. It’s football speed, not track speed. If a guy has track speed but can also play the game then that’s a big plus. Wheaton, for instance, is extremely fast. He runs track. But, when you watch him play the game he’s also a very good wide receiver who, after he catches the ball, is able to use his speed to get quickly upfield for extra yards.

      But you’re my boy, and I don’t mean anything by that. Just that we’re probably at an impasse, and you’ve given me ONE name that might even POSSIBLY be an upgrade.

    The dog and pony show in shorts at the combine bugs me. Ever since I realized players could quite literally BUY their way up the draft board by going to camps that AREN’T football related, they’re combine skill specific.

      Maybe you should subjugate for his approval or go orangatang with a heavy opinion, lol.

      by the time the combine comes around they have so much tape on these guys it doesn;t matter
      everything has changed a bit bc they run with track coaches
      so the numbers are off the charts lately

      but now that its on NFL network, you think it will change
      No way – now its a show where you get to see their faces

      ultimately it doesn;t matter
      what they do on the filed is what matters

      here and there you want to see how fast RG3 is when he runs to see if what you see on tape is for real I guess

  64. David Moulton: Dolphins have to do better than Jeff Ireland at general manager

    By DAVID MOULTON
    Published Tuesday, January 1, 2013

    NAPLES — Five NFL general managers got fired this week — really six because Andy Reid had final say on personnel as Eagles head coach. Yet the Dolphins’ Jeff Ireland was not one of them.

    So much for all that hope I had for the Dolphins last week.

    Stephen Ross paid over $1 BILLION for this team. Does he really think the best he can do at general manager is Jeff Ireland?

    Four of the six guys who got let go acquired enough talent on the job to take their teams to at least the conference championship game!

    Hire one of them, Mr. Ross, and it can’t be any worse than sticking with Jeff Ireland.

    He’s been with the team five years, but the first two all he did was take orders from Parcells. His third year and first draft was in 2010.

    Ireland traded the 10th overall pick, and later drafted Jared Odrick in the first round.

    The Giants took some sack machine named Jason Pierre-Paul with the 15th pick. Imagine him opposite Cameron Wake?

    In the second round, he took linebacker Koa Misi. The Patriots took some tight end from Arizona named Rob Gronkowski a while later.

    That is only part of the story. It’s not that he has missed out on two great players, Ireland has NO diamonds in the rough from the last two drafts that were 100 percent his. None!

    His first-round picks have been Mike Pouncey and Ryan Tannehill.

    Nice job. But of his 13 picks after the first round, only ONE is currently a starter (tackle Jonathan Martin). Four are solid reserves, four are roster filler, three have been cut and one — 2012 third-round pick Michael Egnew, a tight end — played in just two games and has bust written all over him.

    Oh yeah, 14 picks after Egnew, the Indianapolis Colts selected a wide receiver from FIU named T.Y. Hilton (50 catches, seven TDs and a punt return TD).

    Is this a good enough track record to trust him to be THE guy to handle the most crucial offseason the Dolphins have had since 2006, when they passed on Drew Brees?

    No way! It’s laughable to think that Jeff Ireland has proved to be anything more than mediocre. So why, Mr. Ross, are you willing to let your billion-dollar investment be average at best?

    You know talent. You went after Jim Harbaugh hard two years ago and nearly got him. You pursued Peyton Manning last spring.

    Jim Harbaugh, Peyton Manning, Jeff Ireland. Which one doesn’t belong in the deep end?

    The Miami Dolphins have five of the first 90 picks in the upcoming draft. Five! They have huge decisions to make on key free agents Jake Long, Reggie Bush and Sean Smith. They have a glaring need at wide receiver with some big free agents available at that position (Mike Wallace, Dwayne Bowe, Greg Jennings).

    Raise your hand if you think, “You know, of all the people available, I’d much rather have Jeff Ireland than Bill Polian. I mean all he did was build the Bills of the late 80s-early 90s and the Colts in the Peyton years.”

    How about the right-hand personnel men of Ted Thompson in Green Bay or Trent Baalke in San Francisco? Have you seen their rosters?

    Some pretty good drafting going on there.

    Please, Mr. Ross, aim higher.

    Heck, you don’t even have to leave your feet to rise above the talent level of Jeff Ireland.

    The Dolphins have just had their fourth consecutive losing season for the first time since before Don Shula. There have been three architects of this 27-37 stretch.

    Bill Parcells and Tony Sparano are long gone.

    The only one left is Jeff Ireland.

    Why?

  66. The Flying Pig on said:

    Gigi

    good link

    but we have heard it all before

    The 2010 draft is the one that jumps out at me, bc we took Odrick instead of JPP or Earl Thomas
    but the argument for JPP is the same as the one for Thomas
    We traded back
    then we took Odrick
    we didn;t take Odrick over JPP or Thomas
    we acquired a 2nd
    a 2nd that we gave up for Marshall when everyone was begging for a WR and he made that move

    we only acquired Misi b/c of the trade back
    so its not kike the option was JPP and Gronk
    the option was JPP (or Earl Thomas) and nothing else

    or even Odrick and Gronk but not Misi

    I remember that people really questioned JPP in that draft (not just Miami) and some labeled him a potential bust b/c of his slighter than usual frame for a DE…butthat was wrong

    on the Egnew vs TY Hilton argument
    the thing is Ireland liked Ty Hilton
    he didn;t miss that pick
    he just chose a TE (which we needed) instead

    the reason I know Ireland liked TY Hilton is b/c he try to acquire him as part of the Davis trade
    the Colts really undercut us in that draft
    first they took Luck, we got Tanny (and I love Tanny)
    then they took not 1 but 2 TEs (fleener and allen)
    and forced our hand to get what was left

    then they took Hilton before we picked again – I think ireland had hoped to land Hilton instead of Miller

    luckily we traded up for Miller or he would havebeen a Colt too..lol

    Why does any of this matter

    bc it illustartes that Ireland identified TY Hilton as a good WR
    even though he is undesized
    but what he failed to do is prioritize the pick of the skill player

    If he picked a WR who busted instead of Hilton I would be more concerned

    • Why does any of it matter? Cause this team is in the hands of the guy who made mistakes pointed to in that piece. Would you rather have JPP or Odrick? No brainer unless you are Ireland. Good people who took their teams to championships were let go this week and Ireland is still around – makes no sense to me. I will be LMAO when he screws up – again.

      • Jahndoh on said:

        That last sentence bothers me. I would never LMAO when the fins fail. That’s just a personal standard I have.

        Shhhhhhh self. STFU already! ;-)

    • Bat,
      With JPP people questioned him because of his maturity more than anything else. When he was drafted I’ll never forget where Drew is trying to get his nut hugging intoxicated friends off camera saying “Look at me Mom, I’m on tv for not stealing a TV!”

  67. Jahndoh on said:

    BTW, I’ve said it before and I’ll “go ahead and” continue to say it. Any yahoo can cherry pick drafts and say which player drafted below any OTHER player would’ve been a better pick. Hindsight is 20/20, and fans have it when they complain, but GMs don’t have it on draft day.

    • professorlou on said:

      Have to agree. GM’s don’t have hindsight and anyone can do the same. You can go thru a number of drafts and find the same situation. But, it’s not about who a GM could have picked after the player he picked. It’s about the results and the players he does pick. So, the proof is in the pudding. If a GM is good at what he does the talent he finds will contribute to the success of the team. There is probably some luck involved when you have a player you want and he’s gone off the board when it’s your turn to pick but the GM needs to do his homework, due dilligence, in assessing the talent available and be able to make the choices that best fit his team.

  68. Love Ireland or Hate Ireland he is not being fired this year. So to whatever it is we all hold dear lets pray to that and hope he gets it right because this is a huge off season for us.

  69. Gigi:

    For the record I don’t want Mike Tannenbaum as our GM. LOL.

    • Jahndoh on said:

      l love facts. Bring some that don’t require hindsight and I’m all ears. I don’t remember you pounding the table for JPP. That’s just revisionist history.

      • Jahndoh on said:

        Wierd, my reply keeps skipping UP a post. Anyway…obviously this was for Gigi below. I still love ya girl. I really do. I just think your campaign is as tiring as you think my defense is.

  70. Jahndoh on said:

    OK, Gigi, don’t get mad at me, I’m done talking about Ireland. The floor is yours. New year, I’m going to say “I could be wrong” a lot more often. And regarding Ireland: I could be wrong.

  71. Proof is in the record Jahn!!!! We have 1 All Pro on this team and it is Wake who Bill Parcells found. Long is damaged and who knows what happens with him. I am going to sit back and watch the mess like this past year with the super FA signings, etc. You just don’t like it when anyone points out facts to you and that guy wrote facts not opinion.

    • Jahndoh on said:

      Bill Parcells was scouting the CFL?

      No. That’s about as valid as hindsight. It’s a waste. You have no endgame. Ireland is the 2013 GM.

    • Gigi,
      But Parcell’s was also the guy who overpaid for Carey, Bell, Crowder, Dansby, and also thought because he was BP he could control the tempermental BM…..HAHA a BP controlling a BM……by giving him money and being the franchise overlord. Ireland is who he is and I haven’t truly hated his work since BP has been gone. With that being said, this is his chance to stake claim to a legacy with his weapons at his disposal or to stake claim to a Grey hound bus pass back to Dallas.

  72. Orange Bowl is a bore fest. FSU should be up 21-3 but keep F’n up. NIU can’t do anything with the ball.

  73. I’m not mad at anyone except Steve Ross for keeping Ireland, I say it now on January 1st huge mistake and I have ZERO faith he will get it right. If he proves me wrong I’ll be first to admit it. Sadly, I think I will be right.

    • Jahndoh on said:

      Fair enough. I really do hope we can get along a bit better this year. I’ll give it my best effort. I know you love this team every bit as much as I do, and want whats best for it. It’s ok that we don’t agree on what IS best. Cheers.

  74. Jahndoh on said:

    Cheers Pro Lou, I give you a lot of shit, but obviously we do agree on some things.

  75. The Flying Pig on said:

    I know I had Earl Thomas much higher than Odrick

    but JPP wasn;t such a sure thing

    but that is another DE that shot up the draft board (like Bruce Irvin and JJWatt)

    the article is soaked in hindsight
    it doesn’t mentiomn that the Dolphins went to that draft hoping to trade down
    that the Chargers chose Ryan Matthwes with that pick
    or that there wasn;t a 2nd round pick to take Gronk or Misi, if not for the trade down
    after the trade down neither JPP nor Thomas was there

    I actually wanted Rolando McClain that draft (who recently pointed a gun in some one’s face)
    and many wanted Sergio Kindle (who immediatly fractured his skull) so Odrick and Misi are pretty solid reltively speaking

    just not elite like JPP or Gronk

    I think Ireland produces a lot of that
    its low risk low reward
    and that explains the lack of playmakes more than anything else to me

    but I do think he indentifies the playmakers
    so maybe he has learned from this…wishful thinking?

      PS–High here today about 75; Low about 63. Not a cloud in the sky (unless you’re a Michigan fan). And STILL not a state or local income tax to be found anywhere in the Sunshine State – - – the home of our beloved Miami Dolphins.

      Ken–Thanks for the kind words. Talk to all of you tomorrow!

  77. We all can’t agree about everything it would be boring as hell if we did. Trust me, I want this team to do well and win as much as anyone, I just don’t think Ireland is who should be our GM. No offense to Jahn, Top or anyone that believe in him good for you guys, but I see things way differently just as I did with Sparano and Henne.

    • I am with you Gigi. Unfortunately we have Jeffy for another year so as I said above lets hope he gets it right this year. If we don’t win at least 8 games next year Jeffy’s job may be in jeopardy. I think he gets a pass this year with a rookie HC and rookie QB. Losing record next year and he could be in hot water.

      • One rumor during the coaching process was that Ireland wa pushing for Philbin while Peterson pushed for Fisher….I hate Fisher….He finally pulled the trigger on a QB, who is franchise worthy, in which I’m happy with. I thought he did damn well in the draft this year. I really do think with an HC who says I need a WR versus I need a meatball that we will get better players…..At least I hope.

        You’ve got to think that, if there’s talent there at each pick that he ignores or chooses to go in a different direction and the team falls on it’s face he should definitely go. However, at #12 there’s got to be a guy that he can get that will be an immediate starter and contributor to this team; especially in some of the areas of need.

    • Jahndoh on said:

      Meh, I was on your side later on in the Henne debate actually. I want to see 30 starts from a QB before I make up my mind for certain, but when I did, it was that Henne was a 1TD for 1TO QB.

      In a nod to Walker, I DO think the guy showed a lot of grit his last season here before the injury, I just think ultimately, and as is proving now, he was a miss.

  78. I personally believe that when it comes to evaluating talent and schemes the coaching staff and the scouts really have to work hand in hand…..Fuck what would you draft if Tony Sparano gave you his game plan? I think I would draft some Mueller’s whole grain pasta followed by the ALLI flush system. That being said I think Philbin and company have a clear picture of what they want and need and will work with the GM to get it.

  79. Piggy,
    It also doesn’t mention that Gronk was passsed over because teams were worried that his hip condition might limit his career.

    • The Flying Pig on said:

      I remmebr that hip condition too

      The patshad multiple 2nd round picks
      worth the risk I guess

      and Belicheat has always loved TEs

      • He’s cornered the market on them since he took the NE job. I wont forget he signe Fauria, Graham, and then drafted Ben Watson on top of it. Multiple TE set’s is the way to destroy the blitz and get big plays versus the safeties if you have good ones.

    Andy Reid will interview with the Cardinals tomorrow.

  81. professorlou on said:

    That was an excellent job by Moore on that catch. That’s why I like the potential of this guy so much.

  82. The Flying Pig on said:

    We can agree on everything

    I don;t know what you guys are talking about

    it just takes a little Oink

    thenthe world will be a better place

  83. Fumbles and dropped passes. FSU should be killing NIU. They are killing themselves with mistakes.

  84. The Flying Pig on said:

    Honestly, I don’t care who we draft as long as they have a name I can pronounce and spell

    Cordarelle? Really? How am I supposed to root for him?

    May as well be drunk Iron Butterfly saying “In the Garden of Eden”

    its just not going to come together for me

  85. TD FSU. 11 point lead with 30 to go. Should be ball game with NIU’s offensive inability.

  86. Back to work for me tomorrow. I am going to get some sleep. Peace to you all.

    Later Ken

    LOL@ Piggy, remember in the Simpsons when Bart replaced the hymnal song with that one and the church organist collapsed after she finished playing it?

  89. Jahndoh on said:

    Cheers Ken.
