Florida finally has a bill to ban texting while driving. Florida is only 1 of about 10 states where texting while driving is legal.
They haven't gotten over being suckered into the Marlins deal yet. Ross needs to give the area some time to recover from that before he asks for more public money for his private organization.
Good day MOP. Agree, there are still questions at LT but much needed step today.
Tight end and corner back will be interesting this year. There are players at each position that have the potential to step up and take full time roles. Taylor and Davis could be a strong tandem at corner if they pan out. It will be interesting to see if Egnew gets it together or finds himself cut.
Not a bad thing IMHO, you are hoping that one of your young TE's steps up, if not you see what is available next year or maybe bring Keller back on another short deal. Grimes is coming of an injury so that is the only way you take him and again you drafted a couple young guys. If Grimes plays well then you look at a 3 year deal if not you walk away. Clabo is nearing the end of his career although still a good player, maybe could have went 2 or 3 years at most. But if the season goes well and the team improves greatly you are drafting in the 20's somewhere and RT is more likely to be a position you can get. I like the short term signings to guys that aren't center pieces/have questions.
Don Jones was invited a lot of places prior to the draft, many thought he would go top 150/200. Ran a 4.4 at his Pro Day, Vert of 42, has some impressive tape but how good was the Arkansas State opponents? He was an interesting pick Miami got late. I hope he can find his way on to the team.Slapdash said:

I'd like them to move Odrick inside for good and deal Starks if they can for an upgrade elsewhere. Starks is set to make the Top5 avg they only have him under a 1 year deal...guess they will let him walk like Jake Long.
Long suffered through the 2011 season with a bad back and then tore his bicep which forced the team to put him on IR. I doubt any any team would have handed over a first or second for him at that point.
Agree.
I wanted to wait a day before commenting but I have some gems to share with you guys from an interview the local CBS affiliate had with Mike Dee where he said on air that Owner Stephen Ross was not aware just how bad the stadium was in when he purchased the Miami Dolphins...that is just laughable and total bull. You mean to tell me that the man spent $550M in 2008 to own 50% of the team, bought the other 45% for about the same price in 2009 and became the majority owner of the team, $1.1 Million. Nowhere in that process did this man who the University of Michigan named their business school after recently...nowhere in that time frame did he ever take a look at the stadium and say "Hey, this place is gonna need a major face lift."???
The torn bicep maybe, but linemen with back problems raise a few flags. I'm looking forward to reading your Ross post.
Good news: He reported today
Sounds like he'll be back for training camp. It isn't ideal to have the first three picks missing time right now, but I don't think any of them need to make an immediate impact. Corner is the weakest area though.
