Which speaks to rule #2 in implementing a pass oriented offense. If you're going to get rid of your #1 receiver, then you better have another one lined up. When you hope, you get what we have now.

Completely agree. Even if it's a rebuilding year, Tannehill needs SOMEBODY to throw to if he's going to develop at all. The group of scrubs Miami has is awful. Even Bess would be a #3 at best on most teams. -EK

I have a bad feeling the Les Brown thing is gonna bite us in the ass down the road.  Someone (cough Belicheck) is going to move him to reciever so we can watch him torch our DB's collective asses for the next decade.  Like the whole Wes Welker thing wasn't enough.
We can't go through this for every receiver we cut until Belichick retires.  With Hogan, I could see it.  If Belichick wants to turn lead into gold with Les Brown, let him try.

Word is he couldn't shake linebackers in coverage. Moving to wide receiver is a pipe dream if you ask me. The guy has no NFL future.

Dolphins released Julius Pruitt Meaning Chris Hogan is still around.

 Little surprising honestly because Pruitt was a special teams ace. Maybe one of their better special teams players on the roster.

Mike-O beat me to it.  Miami is currently at 75 players.  They need to be at 53 by Friday

Adam Beasley reporting Miami could add in the ballpark of 10 new players once roster cuts are made late this week. Which is an insane number for a team to do.

Barry Jackson reported Miami is trying Marcus Thigpen out at WR now too.

If I'm on the Bubble,I'd not do any individual in depth interviews with the Hard knocks crew  this week...

(I've probably gotten a couple of the weeks mixed up in the middle)

Week one -Chad Johnson--->> Gone
week 2 - Reggie Bush Safe
Week 3 -Vontae Davis ---->> Gone
Week 4 - Les Brown,Chas Alecxih ---->>> Gone
Week 5 -

I'm joking around...We know a lot of these guys are getting cut...

I'm sure they do in-depth interviews with nearly every player, and only show the ones that are relevant to the narrative they frame for that week's show.

OK.  So now the question is who stays and who goes.

stay close to your computer Sat and Sunday. Miami is gonna get down to 53, then they are gonna probably make another 8-10 moves after that picking up other guys that were cut. Gonna be a busy weekend.

Print the team roster and make your own cuts.  It becomes pretty easy to jettison marginal talent.

Very busy.  Just because a guy still has a job on Saturday doesn't mean he will be on the roster for the Houston game.  Same deal with the guys who were playing late in the game last night.  Just because you don't have a shot of making the team you're currently on doesn't mean another team won't pick you up.  All you have to do is look good on tape.

Pappy you are a smart guy, what head coach does that prior to 1 game being played before the season. In the history of sports name one time that has happened? Seriously! As they say on ESPN...COME ON MAN!


While not a headcoach, the GM for the Colts basically said that last year.

And he was fired. Thanks for making my point.

If the Fins are true to their recent history, they will just pick up everyone that Dallas cuts.  They will all be horrible of course.  But the Fins will pick them up anyway.
