Michael Lombardi: Fins want Pats offense

[MikeO]

Tonight on NFL Network's AROUND THE LEAGUE, Michael Lombardi had some comments on the Fins.  Lombardi said the Dolphins want to install the New England Patriots style of offense with 5-WR looks and packages. That was the reasoning behind the Daboll hiring. He said Daboll comes from the Bill Belichick coaching tree and has alot of the same offensive ideas that Josh McDaniels has but he just did not have the talent in Cleveland to run it. Lombardi said that is why we hired Daboll because of his history with the Patriots.

Great only one problem we don't have Tom Brady

.......or 5 decent receivers.

Actually, I think our receiving corps is much better than the Pats.

The Brady thing though is unfortunately very true.

I'm looking to install the Antonio Banderas appearance this season...

So does this mean we could be going after someone like Julio Jones instead of Mark Ingram in the first round?

The celebrity appearances might be the only thing to bring people to the games. We certainly aren't setting the fanbase on fire now are we? Maybe we should start a thread to see who people want to see and then we can pass the list along to Ross! I'm sure he would like that!!

[Sunstroke]

^^^ Actually, CF, I was referring to a personal installation...nothing to do with the Dolphins there. I'd like to install the Antonio Banderas appearance, but the best I seem to be able to get is something close to Steve Buscemi.

in other news, the sky is still blue.

What team in the NFL DOESN'T want the Patriots' offense?

That was my thoughts exactly when I read the thread headline. hahahaha

OMAR KELLY today on twitter tweeted a "RUMOR" saying Dez Bryant is on the block in Dallas. Cowboys sources saying he doesn't know the plays and is difficult to deal with.

Ireland can now trade for Dez and be best buddies with him! lol

[dolphaholic]

I read this "rumor" also Mike, if true Ireland gains some credibilty back in my book for passing on this guy. Time will tell if it's true or not.

[Pappy13]

This is the first I've heard of it.  Doesn't seem to be making any stories here in Dallas where you would think that if there was something brewing it would be all over the news. 

I'm pretty sure that Dallas is extremely happy with Dez.  They may wish he worked harder, but you can't fault the results.  He was the Cowboys best weapon down the stretch last year returning punts and kickoffs and catching passes.  No way they are getting rid of him.

[EDGECRUSHER]

No need to try to trade for Bryant. Our receiving corps may be our strongest part of the team right now. Improve all of the other problem areas first. Getting a receiver does not improve QB play, Marshall just proved that.
