Zach, JT, Madison and Surtain were the heart of the Fins D for a lot of years and gave a lot of fans a lot of pleasure. Of course, teams move on and players have to be replaced when their performance drops off. We now have 2 new corners, a new Zach replacement in Dansby and it's time for (q)Wake to step up and a new draftee (or 2) to lead the charge to rip Brady's head off. Everyone here seems to be trying to find fault. In truth, both sides are at fault. I thought it was a bit disingenous of JT to say he needs to feed his family (unless he has a couple of thousand kids the size of Cody to fill) and I also think the Fins should have been more slick from a PR point of view. They don't want to tip their hand in the draft and they want to keep their options open, but what's generated ALL this fuss (and where I diverge from your position a little Here Tin) is that we are all FANS of the Dolphins, and their great players past and present take on a larger than life persona. The links with players (unlike ex-employees in industry) stay for a long time and sometimes until death. There is the ring of honour, the perfect 72s, Marino etc etc. They are all faces of the franchise, part of the brand and part of the histroy. It is a bad move to damage that brand and that's what the Fins have done with Zach and JT in a lot of fans eyes. I think the Trifecta scored an own-goal on their handling of both these issues and JT followed the money, the limelight and extended his career. Both brands will survive, both will be slightly damaged but life goes on. Some people will hate JT and consider him a traitor and others will thank him for the memories (9 Tds - did TGJ get that many?!?). Anyway, thank goodness for the draft - at least the froth will settle very quickly on this and we'll all be looking in the opposite direction in 24 hours time.ukfinfannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-56543698813792202632010-04-21T08:37:35.000-07:002010-04-21T08:37:35.000-07:00True about Zach except for one thing - if ZT wasn&...True about Zach except for one thing - if ZT wasn't planning on retiring then and there as a Dolphin, why would the Dolphins let him use their facility for a press conference? JT had one at his office - why didn't Zach have one at another location? <br /><br />I think fans in general forget that an NFL team is an employer and the players are employees. Once the employee is fired/let go/traded they don't get to use the company car anymore...also players take the loyalty thing a bit far. In most jobs after 25 years you get a cheap watch. Yet NFL players expect a life-long commitment from the team after they play there for 7 years. There's also the factor that 95% of the people in the office have changed in the last 3 years. New Owner, new VP, new GM, new HC, new CEO, new Community Relations guy, new PR guy, new CFO, etc.Tinshakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-79275362050260095772010-04-21T08:30:09.000-07:002010-04-21T08:30:09.000-07:00Here's some old Dolphins comedy to lighten eve...Here's some old Dolphins comedy to lighten everbody's mood...LMAO!!!<br /><br />"The NFL Blog Network is sharing some of its favorite tales from the draft room. Here's one of the funnier ones you might not have heard ...<br /><br />Within an NFL draft room, we envision the organization's brain trust engaging in passionate discussions about every prospect on their draft board. The exchange of information is thorough. The decisions made are educated. They are absolute.<br /><br />Then there was the year <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/clubhouse?team=mia" rel="nofollow">Miami Dolphins</a> coach Don Shula, upon being asked a question by a reporter, turned to his personnel chief and whispered incredulously "Did we draft a blind guy?" <br /> <br />No, the Dolphins didn't draft a blind guy in 1993. But in his annual draft preview, influential Pro Football Weekly draftnik Joel Buschbaum had printed an erroneous report Virginia running back <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=391" rel="nofollow">Terry Kirby</a> was blind in his right eye and the Kirby had difficulty catching passes over his right shoulder. <br /> <br />The Dolphins selected Terry Kirby with the 78th pick. <br /> <br />Shortly after Shula entered his post-draft news conference, he was asked about Buschbaum's report. Shula's knees nearly buckled as he asked director of player personnel Tom Heckert what they'd just done. <br /> <br />Shula's heart rate returned to normal when team physician Dan Kanell, who examined Kirby at the combine, assured the coach Kirby had perfect vision in his left eye and 20/40 sight in his right eye, not poor enough to require glasses let alone special instructions for <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=1" rel="nofollow">Dan Marino</a> to throw to Kirby only in the right flat."We Have Playmakersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-67824470666624540512010-04-21T07:28:32.000-07:002010-04-21T07:28:32.000-07:00I was going to leave this alone but I just read Za...I was going to leave this alone but I just read Zach Thomas' quotes & he's right about one thing--Parcells & Ireland shouldn't have left Taylor dangling about whether they wanted him back or not. I don't think it's right to tell a Hall of Fame player that we'll let you know after the draft what we're going to do. If we didn't want him back then we should have told him that we're going in another direction.<br /><br />And as for not letting Zack have his press conference on the way out, I don't like it. Zack is a stud that played his guts out for the Dolphins & never said a bad word one way or the other. To hear him complain about the way he was treated makes me angry. IMO--Certain players like Zack & JT who were warriors for this franchise deserve better.We Have Playmakersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-42230829035408338822010-04-21T07:13:32.000-07:002010-04-21T07:13:32.000-07:00Oh yeah the draft is tomorrow...I almost forgot si...Oh yeah the draft is tomorrow...I almost forgot since JT's drama has distracted me. <br /><br />I still think Earl Thomas is too small & I'd be very, very surprised if we took him.

I'm still not sure why Taylor was so hell bent on playing this year??? He wanted to play so badly that he'd go play for the Jets??? There is nothing good that can come from JT playing in NY as far I'm concerned. He's a Dolphin & if we didn't sign him after the draft then he should have retired a Dolphin. That's just my opinion but I also don't have a family to feed. Right Latrell Sprewell??? LOL!!! <br /><br />All I know is that if we beat the Jets in Week 3, I won't care about this media circus BUT if we lose & JT has a big game (unlikely) or makes a big play, I'll be extremely pissed off.We Have Playmakersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-15355915538132902032010-04-21T06:47:42.000-07:002010-04-21T06:47:42.000-07:00My two sense worth, I always ignored him and skipp...My two sense worth, I always ignored him and skipped his posts.

As much as we all like Wake, we have no idea if he's really ready yet. Personally, I think the Fins made the decision to go young no matter what and they really had very little if any intention to resign JT. I also wonder if JT wanted to be a 3rd down specialist period. Especially after having to play the strong side run stopper last year. The Fins obviously couldn't commit to that not knowing who they were going to draft.Big Dawggnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-50628586721878138332010-04-21T06:26:36.000-07:002010-04-21T06:26:36.000-07:00Why this logic is flawed:
1. Dancing with the star...Why this logic is flawed:<br />1. Dancing with the stars <br />Why you gotta bring up old shit? And they already resgined him AFTER this happened so it really shouldn't be a factor at this point. He already proved he was ready to play football and not yet jump to Hollywood<br /><br />2. Turning down a contract extension already (I'm sure that sat real well) <br />Again, why would they ask his agent not be involved? Would you buy real estate without an appraiser? If you would then I have a fine piece of land I'd love to sell you!<br /><br />3. Flirting with the Jets to get a rise out of the Dolphins and increase sense of urgency. (Not a good idea to play chicken with BP.) <br />How arrogant do you think this front office is? If your contract expired and you don't have an offer from that company, should you sit around and wait hoping for one or go find a job? This could also be viewed as determining his market value. Either way, Sparano said JT was doing what he needed to do. If the Fins can do their due diligence, so can JT. This shouldn't be a double standard.<br /><br />4. Going public with his agent and stating no communication with the Dolphins this off-season. BS, the FO said they communicated exactly where they stood and wanted to wait til after the draft like last year. He already turned them down, they had every right to make him wait.<br />You missed the point here. THe Fins did say where they stood (perhaps will talk after the draft). JT & his agent said they did not hear from the Fins yet (which is true). If they had, they would be in negotiations so it's not like they spilled the beans here.<br /><br />This is hardly drama, just business negotiations. The media may have maniuplated it to make you believe there was drama but if you look at the facts, it just business. For an example of drama, please read up on Joey Porter.Big Dawggnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-57605108903671311802010-04-21T00:37:31.000-07:002010-04-21T00:37:31.000-07:00Holy Geez!

He got 8 sacks last year, half of those against the Bills! The intel he provides the Jets is negligible because Miami has a real Defensive Coordinator now and new philosophy unbeknownst to JT. Speaking of Nolan, he must surely have presented a convincing masterplan to Bill, Jeff and Tony some time ago, and one that didn't include JT!<br /><br /><br />30 other teams didn't want JT?? Come on! JT joining the Jets shows how sour a grape can get on his part. JP showed much the same mentality on his way out! Come to think of it, it's addition by subtraction, PassTheBaloney, JP, GW, Ginn and JT ...GONE!
