We all will just have to trust Parcells, although I don't see how an offensive tackle is going to help the Dolphins make the playoffs.

Playoffs? They need to learn how to win a few games first.

Less time for more important stuff like FR and porn!

Hold and keep stocking their defense.

Can’t go wrong on that front

Aside from QBs. Left Tackle is arguably the most position on offense, and I think the second highest paid position in the NFL.

Speculators say the Boys are looking at RB Jones (yep another one) from Arkansas and WR Malcolm Kelly from Oklahoma.

If they get Pacman, they won't try to get a shutdown corner.

This is going to be a good draft to build depth for a lot of teams. Lots of CBs, OL and 2nd tier LBs

Drat...I wanted him for my Rams

I have no idea what that picture of Trent is supposed to prove or disprove. You do realize he got knocked out when he tried to block on a busted reverse, right?

Yes, I do. I have been following the Dolphins since George Wilson, Sr's quaterback was George Wilson, Jr. and I watched the entire sorry season last year on DirecTV's Sunday Ticket.

Just consider it a generic photo to illustrate nickcarraway 's point:

"You can do better with a solid OL and a mediocre QB, than a good QB and a terrible line."

Sorry, that I could not find an image illustrating the concept of Daunte Culpepper getting sacked every other play.

With a terrible OL, that photo could represent God's gift to quaterbacking in the 21st Century after two and a half quarters into his NFL debut.

Trent Green was throwing for more TDs per season than Peyton Manning

Being an Indiana alum, I like Trent Green as much as the next guy, but he's never thrown more TDs than Peyton Manning.

I actually did, that wasn't his o-line's fault by any stretch. What a lot of folks in my neck of the woods are wondering is where will Ryan Clady end up (some of you may know him as the manchild o-lineman out of Boise State)?

On an unrelated note, we're on the 'Phins schedule again this year. What's the weather like down there in November? :)

FR and porn

lol

Two words one doesn't normally see together.

[The Pack Knight]

Just checked the stats, and you’re right. Green was close for a couple seasons, but never threw for more.

I can’t remember where I heard that stat. Guess it goes to show that you should always verify your sources.
