Title: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: MikeO on September 03, 2011, 06:25:18 pm AS I predicted, Polite was cut today.
Murtha placed on IR, OUT FOR THE YEAR! We are stuck with Colombo and NO backup Tackle at either position now Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: Landshark on September 03, 2011, 07:14:39 pm AS I predicted, Polite was cut today. Murtha placed on IR, OUT FOR THE YEAR! We are stuck with Colombo and NO backup Tackle at either position now You bet, especially because they cut Ray Willis. Here's a list of all the players who got a visit from The Turk today. CB Vincent Agnew TE Brett Brackett WR Patrick Carter G Garrett Chisolm QB Pat Devlin TE Dedrick Epps LB Jonathan Freeny RB Nic Grigsby T D.J. Jones T Matt Kopa WR Phillip Livas WR John Matthews CB Nate Ness LB David Nixon QB Kevin O’ Connell WR Julius Pruitt S Mark Restelli LB Robert Rose TE Mickey Shuler LB Quinton Spears S Gerald Alexander CB Will Allen NT Ronald Fields RB Larry Johnson FB Lousaka Polite T Ray Willis "Coach wants to see you. Bring your playbook" Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: Pappy13 on September 04, 2011, 11:01:25 am Anyone have a list of the remaining 53, because I can't seem to come up with 53 that made the cut.
NM. Here it is. http://www.miamidolphins.com/team/roster Trusnik and Feinga? Don't think I've seen either do anything in the preseason. I was surprised they cut Will Allen. Thought he looked really good in that last preseason game although it was against 2nd string. They must think he's too fragile to help them now. Also surprised they went with 6 WR's and 3 RB's and without a true FB. Never thought I'd see the day on a Tony Sparano coached team. That must have been tough for him to do. Looks like this is becoming the Brian Daboll offense and not the Tony Sparano offense.

We are stuck with Colombo and NO backup Tackle at either position now Nate Gardner is listed as the backup RT dude I'm pissed about the Larry Johnson and Pat Devlin cuts more than anything..LJ solely because it could've made a great story had he played and contributed..I'm cool with Bush, Thomas, and Hilliard..I'm NOT cool with ONLY rolling with 2 QB's..I like Devlin outta college, oh well Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: Pappy13 on September 04, 2011, 11:13:59 am Nate Gardner is listed as the backup RT dude I'm pissed about the Larry Johnson and Pat Devlin cuts more than anything..LJ solely because it could've made a great story had he played and contributed..I'm cool with Bush, Thomas, and Hilliard..I'm NOT cool with ONLY rolling with 2 QB's..I like Devlin outta college, oh well Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: StL FinFan on September 04, 2011, 11:28:48 am I thought Devlin was on the practice squad.
Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: Pappy13 on September 04, 2011, 11:32:09 am I thought Devlin was on the practice squad. Still got to have a 3rd QB on game day. Unless god forbid it's Thomas, but I don't think I saw a single wildcat play this preseason.Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: DZA on September 04, 2011, 12:13:25 pm Why Larry Johnson ??? ??? ???
Do they really expect reggie bush to be an every down back ??? Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: MikeO on September 04, 2011, 04:28:00 pm Nate Gardner is listed as the backup RT dude I'm pissed about the Larry Johnson and Pat Devlin cuts more than anything..LJ solely because it could've made a great story had he played and contributed..I'm cool with Bush, Thomas, and Hilliard..I'm NOT cool with ONLY rolling with 2 QB's..I like Devlin outta college, oh well Nate Gardner as our back up tackle is like having no backup tackle. That's the point. If we are forced to play Gardner for either Long (coming off an injury) or Colombo (old and broken down) we are screwed Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: MikeO on September 04, 2011, 04:42:29 pm I thought Devlin was on the practice squad. We worked out a QB that the Falcons cut, kid from l'vile I believe. Devlin's stay might not be long on the practice squad Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: Pappy13 on September 05, 2011, 11:28:52 am Still got to have a 3rd QB on game day. Unless god forbid it's Thomas, but I don't think I saw a single wildcat play this preseason. Apparently you don't. I guess there was a rule change this year that I'm not aware of because several teams went with only 2 QB's this year. Perhaps your practice squad QB can be your third QB?Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: Landshark on September 05, 2011, 11:36:02 am Apparently you don't. I guess there was a rule change this year that I'm not aware of because several teams went with only 2 QB's this year. Perhaps your practice squad QB can be your third QB? Apparently instead of having 45 active players on gameday plus your "emergency third string QB" you can now have 46 active players on gameday. We worked out a QB that the Falcons cut, kid from l'vile I believe. Devlin's stay might not be long on the practice squad His name was Adam Froman. I wonder if he has any relation to Abe Froman, the sausage king of Chicago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HNd3qz68Zw&feature=related Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: Phishfan on September 05, 2011, 01:30:57 pm The Turk Thanks for posting the cuts. You know, we used to have someone else who psoted here that always used the term "The Turk". Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: Phishfan on September 05, 2011, 01:32:00 pm Trusnik and Feinga? Don't think I've seen either do anything in the preseason. Trusknik was a standout on special teams. Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: Landshark on September 05, 2011, 02:34:46 pm Thanks for posting the cuts. You know, we used to have someone else who psoted here that always used the term "The Turk". I've actually seen it used quite a few different times. Here's an article to pique your interest. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1208/is_36_225/ai_78400281/ Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: Pappy13 on September 06, 2011, 11:39:49 am Apparently instead of having 45 active players on gameday plus your "emergency third string QB" you can now have 46 active players on gameday. I'm still confused how this allows you to have only 2 active QB's on your roster. If your first and 2nd string QB's go down in a game, who plays QB? Can you play your QB from the practice squad if that happens?Update: After reading a bit more, I guess some teams are just deciding that using that 46th active player as a 3rd string QB just isn't a good use of talent and would rather have another player over another QB. That means that should Miami lose both the starter and back-up QB in a game, they'll have to improvise. I believe that Thomas has played some QB in High School and has run some wild cat in college. I guess if that should happen we'll be running the wild cat on every down.

Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: Spider-Dan on September 06, 2011, 04:06:16 pm What are the odds that you're still in the game if your #1 AND #2 quarterbacks go down? We won that game last year.Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: fyo on September 06, 2011, 05:23:16 pm We won that game last year. Yeah, and it actually happened two years ago as well if you count the Pat White Experience. I *think* we lost that one, though. Still, in all likelihood, tying up a roster spot for a third quarterback is just wasting a spot. I don't think it's a big deal, but unless you have a quarterback you want to bring in "situationally" (please no), I'm leaning towards getting another cornerback or whatever. Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: Diehard_Dolfan on September 12, 2011, 10:17:06 pm AS I predicted, Polite was cut today. Heh I knew cutting Polite would come back to hurt us! 4th and half a yd and we go 3 wide... twice in the red zone we can't punch it in! Why not let Larry Johnson try and punch it in? Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: MikeO on September 12, 2011, 10:20:52 pm Heh I knew cutting Polite would come back to hurt us! 4th and half a yd and we go 3 wide... twice in the red zone we can't punch it in! Why not let Larry Johnson try and punch it in? Polite never had 1 TD in his 3 year Dolphins career. And that TD wasn't on a 1 yard dive! He never got goaline carries!

He never got goaline carries! You keep bringing up carries... I'm talking about lead blocking! A FB lead blocking is better than a nose guard lead blocking or no lead block! Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: tepop84 on September 12, 2011, 10:54:26 pm You keep bringing up carries... I'm talking about lead blocking! A FB lead blocking is better than a nose guard lead blocking or no lead block! his blocking sucked, which is why he got cut.

A FB lead blocking is better than a nose guard lead blocking or no lead block! he sucked as a lead blocker. WHy can't you just accept that! Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: Diehard_Dolfan on September 12, 2011, 11:02:55 pm he sucked as a lead blocker. WHy can't you just accept that!

If Polite is so damn good how come nobody else picked him up?! JUST SAYIN! Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: Diehard_Dolfan on September 12, 2011, 11:07:40 pm ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh 1 play from 2 years ago. If Polite is so damn good how come nobody else picked him up?! JUST SAYIN! You said he couldn't lead block I showed you otherwise... nobody picked him up because he's an old school FB not much of a threat to run or in the passing game! Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: MikeO on September 12, 2011, 11:08:46 pm You said he couldn't lead block I showed you otherwise... nobody picked him up because he's an old school FB not much of a threat to run or in the passing game! You showed me 1 play. I give you an NFL Organization who cut him. And 31 other organizations who haven't signed him. I think my stance wins out over your 1 play! ::) Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: Diehard_Dolfan on September 12, 2011, 11:13:45 pm You showed me 1 play.

I think my stance wins out over your 1 play! ::) How many passed up on Kurt Warner as a QB before the Rams gave him a shot? Just saying... Hell, how many QB's have we passed on... etc...etc... And it was two plays! ;D Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: MikeO on September 13, 2011, 05:17:10 am How many passed up on Kurt Warner as a QB before the Rams gave him a shot?

But I appreciate the fact you are wayyyyyyyy out there on a limb! Title: Re: Polite CUT...Murtha on IR Post by: Diehard_Dolfan on September 13, 2011, 08:06:03 am I was being sarcastic but never mind! ::)
