If Jason Taylor leaves Miami (1 Viewer)

[Ever Present Lurker]

It is looking more and more like Jason Taylor will be on his way out of Miami, where he has been the gold-standard at DL in IDP leagues. With Sparano (likely) instituting a 3-4 scheme, is there a good DL play? Matt Roth and Quentin Moses are 2 names that are frequently mentioned... I've always thought Roth had talent - does anyone think he can be "start worthy" in a start 2 DL league? Is there someone else? Is the whole team worthless at this point?

Roth might get cut this summer. If he doesn't, he'll have to be more impressive than he's yet been in a role that doesn't fit his style to earn playing time. Moses will be an OLB in this scheme and he's worth watching in big play leagues. Once Jason Taylor is gone, they've got little in the way of pass rushers other than Joey Porter. Right now, Charlie Anderson is working at one OLB spot.There's no DL option worth rostering right now in Miami. Some are fawning over Philip Merling, but it remains to be seen if he can play well enough at 280 pounds in a 2-gap role to get more than 35 solos. None of the linemen are likely to get more than five sacks.
