Olindo Mare to have FA visit with Fins

[Slippery Soap]

I saw on NFL Network last night that Olindo Mare was going to have a free agent visit with the DOlphins today.

Apparantly Mare may be coming back and Feely is out. I think Feely pissed off the tuna spouting out on local talk radio.

Olindo was one of my favorite players I hope he resigns.

[Defense54]

he's been to too many teams lately. Olindo needs to open a restaurant already and be done with it.

[StL FinFan]

Just say no to Olindo.

[DolFan619]

  I would rather take my chances with Dave Rayner than Olindo Mare.  Mare is done.

[Slippery Soap]

Oh C\'mon Olindo was great! 

Dont you guys remember the kick against the Broncos in 2002?

Or all those winning fieldgoals?   

When he had to punt?

His charitable contributions?

[StL FinFan]

WAS is the operative word here.

I really liked Olindo at one time, and didn't even mind paying big money for a reliable kicker.  However, something has happened to him and he just can't get it done anymore.  I don't think it's worth entertaining bringing him back.

Agreed, I have always like Mare.  Its just lately he has been suking donkey-nuts. Omg his stat from the Saints says it all. He was suppose to be a hell of a lot better at indoor kicking  than outside.   I also like Jay Feely but his kickoffs really sux.  He lucked up against Baltimore!

I thought Miami Had a Plan to let Brandon Fields take kickoff duty

Mare's got a cannon leg.  Maybe he should be brought in as a punter and we should get rid of Brandon Fields.

Brandon Fields has a cannon leg, he just struggles to convert that cannon into a trajectory conjucive to height AND distance.

[Slippery Soap]

We cant get rid of Brandon Fields he is was a huge part in the big train robberry of 2007 which Scam Cameron got suckered into by Bill Belicheat.

[fyo]

Let's hope a new special teams coach can get that part of our game in gear again. We've been sucking for years in special teams.

Wrt Brandon Fields, I'm not convinced the problem is his trajectory. Over the past 3 or 4 year, we've completely gutted our special teams. All those guys whose sole contribution was on special teams, well, they're gone. I'm thinking of guys like Tony Bua, who really delivered on special teams, providing energy and great tackles, but who failed to catch on outside of special teams.

Well, the new management has certainly done a lot in that area already (in addition to getting us a new ST coach), acquiring guys like Keith Davis, Nathan Jones and Tab Perry. All guys whose success has been almost exclusively on special teams.

[BigDaddyFin]

I don't understand that at all.  How are they going to bring Mare back AFTER they ran him out of town?  I think someone's agent is floating rumors again.  Mare as I recall wanted to be among the highest paid kickers in the game, (in one of their better decisions) the TEAM (my front office/coach recall is a little blurry these days) said "Adam Vinateiri you ain't, take a walk." And he went to New Orleans and was terrible there.

What exactly is wrong with having Jay Feely as the kicker?  He did a good job for us last year considering all the first downs we didn't make. 

This may be unrelated but what exactly did Feely say that now he's in hot water?

[TonyB0D]

oh hell no, he SUCKS!!!!

[DolFan619]

  Brandon Fields is not a bad punter.  Now Mark Royals, that IS a bad punter.  I think the punt coverage teams really hurt Brandon's net average and inside the 20 statistics.  Granted, Brandon had his bad moments, but his upside is tremendous.  Brandon is going to be one of the NFL's top punters.  He has that kind of talent.
