We're silently winning free agency. This guy can surely start at strong side backer in our 4-3 scheme on running downs he's a true veteran and leader as well as captain. And he absolutely loves playing special teams per the YouTube pod cast video with the dolphins. Man I Can't wait until February lol

The special teams unit that they rolled out last year was horrible in all phases.. You can't worry about a pick for Hardy that may never happen. D.G is building this team the right way and not neglecting a glaring weakness. I trust his judgement.

Meanwhile, somewhere out there, Richard Rodgers is cursing and saying "If they'd have given me these guys, I couldda had a good unit too!" :wacko:

(I kinda doubt that's actually true, but it wouldn't surprise me if he thought it)

Dolphins beat reporter for ESPN:

"Trusnik has been a valuable -- but under-the-radar -- member of the Dolphins for the past four seasons. He's played in 64 straight games for Miami in a variety of roles. Trusnik has 10 starts for the Dolphins at inside and outside linebacker during his tenure, which included six starts last season. He's a smart, dependable player who does his job. Trusnik also brings leadership and value to the Dolphins as their special teams' captain. Look for Miami to make a push to keep Trusnik inside its locker room. Chances of returning: 70 percent"

He will turn 31 in June. Not that that means a whole lot given it's a one year deal but I thought it was interesting given how most of the other ST signings have been fairly young guys with the exception of Ginn.

This guy might have been signed to be the special teams captain.

another plus, he'll get along just fine with the collection of Ohio State players on our team, as he is born and raised in Ohio (including high school and a tiny Ohio college whose mascot is the Polar Bears) and appears to be an Ohio State fan:

Love these small (seemingly insignificant) under-the-radar signings.

Yep. Gettleman mentioned early on "always churning the bottom of the roster" and he's doing exactly that.

Gettleman isn't afraid of bringing guys in for one year and he's not afraid of letting guys go. I also like the fact that he appreciates value and doesn't like to overpay for average talent.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
