Title: Dolphins sign Jorvorskie Lane Post by: Landshark on June 05, 2012, 04:35:42 pm Former Texas A&M fullback. Let's hope he can clear the lane for Lamar Miller.

Regardless, the team needs the body. Title: Re: Dolphins sign Jorvorskie Lane Post by: Fins4ever on June 06, 2012, 05:42:35 pm I don't see him being a lead blocker as much as a short yardage FB. He was signed due to the knee injury to Jerome Messam.
Title: Re: Dolphins sign Jorvorskie Lane Post by: MikeO on June 07, 2012, 10:14:53 pm Training camp body like Mesham. None of these guys have a shot at making the roster. Miami will carry one FB and his name is Charles Clay. And he is more of a H-Back really. FB is pretty much a worthless position in the NFL these days with the 3 and 4 WR sets being the "it" offense. Spread the field and sling it. Clay is a serviceable enough FB for the 1 or 2 times he will be called on in a given game to carry the ball. And I don't see a lot of line it up and follow your lead blocker power offense with this group of Philbin/Sherman. With their goal of 90 offensive plays a game, speed it up, play fast, create mis-matches. The Parcells/Sparano power football days are over with. No need to tie up a roster spot with a guy who has little to no value
