You would say that, wouldn't you? Even if they do, we'll still sweep 'em and send 'em home in the first round:squish:

lol, I think Bling is being a bit sarcastic. I did read an interesting thing about Schlesinger--he's got a tendancy to break facemasks, as in his own. Lol, if that type of mentality is utilized in his blocking, then aweseome!

Who is surprised? Miami is always a great place to retire to. If your 30+, go to Miami.

Well, at least we're doing something! Besides I don't hear anyone complaining about Lorenzo Neal and he's Older then Schlesinger. Corey also has three probowls! I think it's an upgrade.

Schlesinger has struggled with injuries the last couple years and is getting old, but he was a very good player. If he stays healthy he is a bull of a lead blocker and an excellent receiver. I always liked the guy, a very underrated player.

Thats why Lorenzo Neal wasnt a free agent.

Fred Beasly was supposed to be great also.

Seriously, when have the Dolphins signed a free agent in his mid 20's just entering his prime?

new that. was hoping you'd quote it so your leader FTP would read it. :Dlol, so by that reasoning, it'd be fair to call Skooby your guy's leader. No offense to FTP :D

Yeah you're right, the San Diego Chargers and Detroit Lions are one in the same...other then FB ofcourse. The Detroit Lions are second only to the Chargers in smart football moves the last 5 years too.

The Denny's near the Dolphins mini-camp might want to expand their dining area for the Early Bird crowd.
