(I original posted this column on another site. I thought I would take a look back before we move forward to the NFL Draft in two weeks.) The NFL offseason is upon us. It is a wonderful time of the football year, it is like Christmas. As fans and writers we cannot wait to open…

Miami Dolphins: Linebacker Struggles
There was a time that the Miami Dolphins were known for their linebackers. From Nick Buoniconti to John Offerdahl, from AJ Duhe to Brian Cox, most recently were twelve incredible season with Zach Thomas. Miami had been spoiled, linebacker had been a position of strength. Not anymore. Last offseason the team parted ways with Karlos…
Miami Dolphins: 7 Round Mock
Draft Day is coming soon. No, not the movie but the actual NFL Draft. The 2014 draft begins Thursday May 8th. Less than a month remains for teams to finish their draft boards and debate among the hundreds of players they may have to choose from when they get on the clock. It is so…
Trading Places
Everyone following the NFL knew the trade would happen. Finally, Darrelle Revis is a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I do not think there was any doubt that he would not begin the season as a member of the New York Jets. This is a story about two franchises seemingly headed in very different…
Season of Lies.
We have entered the season of Lies, Lies, and more Lies. As we get closer to the NFL Draft teams spread more misinformation and flat-out lies then anything approaching the truth. So when reports surfaced this week suggesting the Miami Dolphins were interested in trading for Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Branden Albert, I took…
Yet Another Mock Draft.
The 2013 NFL Draft is fast approaching. Free agency has taken a backseat for teams as they begin designing their draft boards. There does not seem to be a clear cut number one pick this year. The strength of this draft is depth not superstars. No one can truly predict what 32 general managers and…
Swimming with the Fishes
Jeff Ireland is on the clock. The Miami Dolphins general manager enters this offseason with a target on his back. It is sink or swim time for Ireland. Either make the moves to give Miami a winning season or he is sunk, he is likely negotiating for his career. It all started Tuesday at…
Hands Like Feet
‘Hands like feet.’ Just roles off the tongue doesn’t it. ‘Hands like feet.’ After four days and countless hours of NFL Network coverage, that is what I took away from the NFL scouting combine. Not Tavon Austin and Ryan Swope running 4.34 in the forty yard dash. Not even Manti Te’o crawling to a 4.82…
Keep It Competitive
Thinking back to the Super Bowl, one of the things I took away from it was the officiating. It was great. Jim Harbaugh might not agree, he may still be arguing that last call. I found it refreshing. The officials actually let the two teams play. That is all we really want, let the players…
Buyer Beware.
The Super Bowl signals the end of the NFL season. The end of months of hard work and struggle before crowning a champion in one final game: One winner, thirty-one losers. Let us be honest: the season never ends. Officially free agency begins the offseason on March 9th. However teams already are making moves and…
