Other possibilities for Lucas?

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.

    • Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.
    • I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two. 
    • Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
