How about Miami?

Dolphins must address cornerback too

The loss of Andre' Goodman in free agency wouldn't be a big deal if Jason Allen, the first-round pick in 2006, were ready to step in. Allen is not, at least coaches haven't thought so -- demoting him time after time, to the point he mostly was a special teams player late last season.

The Dolphins badly need cornerback help because they play in a division with Randy Moss and Wes Welker and a returning Tom Brady. They need a new starting cornerback because they will play against Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, Phillip Rivers and Jake Delhomme in 2009.

Half of Miami's games in 2009 are against teams with a current or former Pro Bowl quarterback. And there also is a game with the Atlanta Falcons and 2008 Rookie Of The Year quarterback Matt Ryan.

The Dolphins need cornerback help because receiver Andre Johnson is coming for a visit, and the last time he faced Miami's secondary, he shredded them with 10 catches for 178 yards. Miami also matches up against Steve Smith, Reggie Wayne and Antonio Bryant in 2009.

So the Dolphins need a starting-caliber cornerback and, at minimum, need someone with great promise to groom so he can step in when Will Allen is out of contact after the 2009 season.

Cornerback is now Miami's most glaring need. The need is so acute even T.O. might have had a chance of making it work in Miami.

But only if he would have come as a Pro Bowl cornerback.

The problem with that is Miami has two second round picks in a draft that is very deep at the CB position. Supposedly the top 10 CB's could all be gone by the early to mid third round because there is some good talent throughout.

KK...don't worry, someday they will have another QB and you won't have anything to post about anymore.

I don't think Luc fits the profile of a Parcells CB. He tends to like them a bit rough.

Unless the QB is the same or worse than Jake, then it will be more of the same, just with a different name.

      Bills predictions

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah it is nice seeing some improvement on the defensive side and the young guys.   I don’t want to think about the future much if Bryce doesn’t heal and we are kept in this limbo via an incomplete test. It is depressing  I don’t have quite as dim a view of the 24 draft class as you do   I have modest hopes for XL compared to none. I like CSW.  Am a little cooler on Sanders but at the same time realized this week that Morgan getting that future 2nd for moving down turned into Scourton. I think. Jackson is a real value in exchange for the guy we took with the 7th. I don’t expect anything from Brooks but Wallace seems to have improved enough to not bust. And Coker is in with them, but is giving us nothing this year. So far, and it is almost half over     I hope Andy still has enough to make watching the offense less of a claustrophobic experience. And there is a small chance we upset the Bills but just playing them tough and making it a fun game to watch will be enough.

      Bryce haters gunna hate.  Can't change that. Bryce has been pretty durable all things considered.  A couple minor injuries considering how much he was hammered year 1.  And he still takes hits.  Dude is tough. The play in question is a football play, poo happens.  That's ultimately what happened.  Guys running around, trying to stop Young and stuff happened.  Sucks but that's how it goes. For me, I'd rather see Young play.  He will either prove that he's the Dude, a JAG (leaning heavily right now), or an outright bust (some of you were there on draft night, lol)

      Seth Walder: Regrading 8 trades from the 2024 NFL trade deadline

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I think we need to let the 2025 class develop. Remember at one point early during last season the 2024 class was gonna be a killer. And we had all kinds of people chirping about how the 2021 Draft was the greatest of all time. Early returns are promising. Let's hope it continues.
