After that, assuming Ronnie is healthy, so are our RB's. If we keep Thigpen as our 2nd then I really like our depth at QB as well. And the last area of strength is our D-line. I believe that Parcells will find an NT by using two of our draft picks & although that player might not be ready to start the season, I also believe that player will contribute this season.We Have Playmakersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-72066105207723957852010-03-17T08:52:39.000-07:002010-03-17T08:52:39.000-07:00Herd,

Clearly the Rams have been an awful team for the last few years as well HOWEVER I don't view that as a viable excuse. I believe the term "professional athlete" means that you conduct yourself as a professional whether you win or lose. For example I don't recall Vernon Carey incurring personal foul after personal foul & he played for two of the worst Dolphin teams I have ever seen (the last Wannstadt season & the Cam Cameron experience).<br /><br />What is strange about this signing is that it is completely counter to what Parcells preaches about wanting high character guys. I trust that Sparano (being a former O-line coach) is a pretty good judge of what it takes to be a quality G but this guy Incognito has to get a grip if he's going to push to be a starter.We Have Playmakersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-61628764081121094392010-03-17T08:52:36.000-07:002010-03-17T08:52:36.000-07:00Incognito was only with the Bills for about a mont...Incognito was only with the Bills for about a month.Tinshakernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-53144823743054050662010-03-17T08:50:03.000-07:002010-03-17T08:50:03.000-07:00They're going to look at Incognito at both gua...They're going to look at Incognito at both guard spots. Smiley, Thomas, Garner, Incognito and Tsoumpas will all compete for the two starting spots. Dimitri Tsoumpas was the 2nd player drafted overall in the 2008 CFL draft. We signed him in January of this year. He's a big boy at 6-4 315 and run blocking is his forte.

"Dolphins have rea...Knight,<br /><br />You are correct.<br /><br />"Dolphins have reached an agreement with G Richie Incognito, formerly of the Bills, on a one-year contract.<br />The Bengals and Colts were also linked to Incognito, an unrestricted free agent. If he can keep his temper under control, Incognito will likely push Donald Thomas and Nate Garner for the right guard job while upgrading Miami's already strong run blocking. Look for the deal to be incentive laden." <b>Mar. 17 - 10:13 am et</b><br /><br /><b>Source:</b> <a href="http://twitter.com/edgarthompson/status/10622121165" rel="nofollow">Edgar Thompson on Twitter </a>We Have Playmakersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-53071189258819067262010-03-17T08:23:28.000-07:002010-03-17T08:23:28.000-07:00He has signed a one year deal.He has signed a one year deal.The Knight who says Ni!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-39748672512419507462010-03-17T08:08:47.000-07:002010-03-17T08:08:47.000-07:00Herd, he was with the Rams before the Bills and if...Herd, he was with the Rams before the Bills and if you want to talk about frustration that is the place...

Frankly, I kind of like bad boys, but that's another topic entirely!! lol The thing is, I read all this draft and free agent stuff and everyone has what they think is a bead on what the trifecta is going to do and from my vantage point of following for a little under two years, I don't see it. They drafted Pat White last year who everyone said they wouldn't do and they are obviously showing interest in players that for one reason or another don't fit their prototype.<br /><br />I happen to think that a player's actions on one team may not be indicative of what he's going to do on another. In the right system, with different players and coaches around them, I think they can be completely different. Incognito has been with the Bills who have been in a state of disarray for a long time. Could be the behavior is frustration with the situation he's in.<br /><br />Or maybe not! LOL I'm so confused! ;) herdfannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-80566096256046025502010-03-17T06:47:53.000-07:002010-03-17T06:47:53.000-07:00LOLLOLThe Knight who says Ni!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-56558679726185641742010-03-17T06:47:10.000-07:002010-03-17T06:47:10.000-07:00Clemons ran a 4.33Clemons ran a 4.33The Knight who says Ni!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-49048452697845587732010-03-17T06:33:51.000-07:002010-03-17T06:33:51.000-07:00We offered Incognito a contract.We offered Incognito a contract.The Knight who says Ni!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-8472207621330492102010-03-17T04:18:34.000-07:002010-03-17T04:18:34.000-07:00<p><span>Richie Incognito is quite an ...<p><span>Richie Incognito is quite an enigma… The only one reason Richie is in Miami is because he is a really good offensive lineman.

A few fans feelings will get hurt and a message gets clouded but in the end we all want to beat the stinking Jets and the Patriots and the Bills and getting there sometimes means doing a few things that might hurt a few feelings along the way.</span></p>Patricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1624420118244025974.post-35117516539208732052010-03-16T21:00:16.000-07:002010-03-16T21:00:16.000-07:00Try the ferry Godmothers from UGAY....Try the ferry Godmothers from UGAY....Fangnoreply@blogger.com
