Title: Re: Gaffney cut already... Post by: Landshark on November 21, 2012, 07:55:50 am Apparently he wasn't getting it. Philbin's system for receivers was too complicated for him.
Title: Re: Gaffney cut already... Post by: CF DolFan on November 21, 2012, 08:28:54 am I thought he was hurt. Didn't he perform well in the last two games he played?
Well if that's the case then it must be too complex for all of our receivers because he has performed the best at that position. Title: Re: Gaffney cut already... Post by: Brian Fein on November 21, 2012, 09:30:20 am Apparently he wasn't getting it. Philbin's system for receivers was too complicated for him. More lies.Please provide a link. Gaffney was bottom of the roster, and now he is hurt. Not a huge loss. Title: Re: Gaffney cut already... Post by: mecadonzilla on November 21, 2012, 12:39:57 pm This team has made poor decisions at the receiver position since April so why would they start making good ones now? Just par for the course.
Title: Re: Gaffney cut already... Post by: Pappy13 on November 21, 2012, 02:32:29 pm He was hurt and inactive for Thursday's game. He was replaced on the roster with a TE. No big deal, he wasn't much of an upgrade over Moore it didn't seem anyway.

Quote What went wrong with Jabar Gaffney? November, 21, 2012 NOV 21 11:06 AM ET By James Walker | ESPN.com The Miami Dolphins made an interesting roster move by releasing veteran wide receiver Jabar Gaffney. Here are some thoughts on what went wrong: There was always a health issue with Gaffney this year. It’s a major reason why he was cut by the New England Patriots this summer and it factored into Miami’s decision. Miami worked out Gaffney in September but waited until October to sign him in order to allow Gaffney to get healthy. But Gaffney had knee issues once again and missed Miami’s last game against the Buffalo Bills. It took an unusually long time for Gaffney to get up to speed. That was due to a combination of health and adjusting to Miami’s West Coast offense. I spoke to Gaffney in Miami’s locker room a few weeks ago and asked about his toughest adjustment with the Dolphins. He said it was getting used to learning the hand signals in the offense, because Miami runs a lot of no-huddle. Finally, the production just wasn’t there. After waiting weeks for Gaffney to get healthy and up to speed, he didn’t produce. Gaffney caught just four receptions in three games. Backups Marlon Moore and emerging rookie Rishard Matthews also are improving, which made Gaffney expendable. Title: Re: Gaffney cut already...

Title: Re: Gaffney cut already... Post by: EDGECRUSHER on November 22, 2012, 10:28:48 pm Gaffney had a few drops, including a huge one that would've resulted in a 70+ yard TD. It's no big loss.

Suspension is from an arrest that took place in 2010. But Gaffney never reported the incident to the league back then. Which is against the rules. Title: Re: Gaffney cut already...

Title: Re: Gaffney cut already... Post by: Landshark on November 25, 2012, 08:14:22 am Saw that. My question is how did that incident not make headline 6 o clock news? Sounds petty to me. Maybe he was arrested and never charged. Or maybe it was a minor arrest that didn't result in him being taken to jail. Either way, him not reporting it is against league policy so now he pays the price. |
