with the exception of Long being out, I'm okay with this depth chart..and I LOVE the defensive side of the ball.  Without being overly optomistic, I think Miami can easliy have a top 5 defense.



thoughts?

I don't like the idea of our #1 draft pick last year being burried three deep on the depth chart. It is still early though.

In this case I do because it means he has some competition. Starks and Merling are pretty decent. Solaia won't be in on every snap, they'll move Starks over to NT from time to time and let Merling and Odrick play as well. He'll get plenty of snaps.

Why?? Did he even get to play in a game before his injury last year?  He's a year out of "real" football shape and hasn't really played in the NFL yet....what's the problem here?

His injury is seems to be a recurring one, but that isn't the issue. I just don't like the idea of #1 picks being reserves. It isn't like I'm raising a stink. I just said I don't like the idea. I also said it is early in the season didn't I? Let's not try to create something out of nothing. The original post asked for thoughts. I provided one. How about we hear another one?

^^ I see what you're saying, but I believe there will be constant rotations on the D-Line because of all the depth

Kinda like how you shouldn't really read into the "order" at the RB slot too

I personally would like to see and upgrade at the #2 WR over Hartline. He has never really impressed me.
