    Lamar Gordon to be shipped to Miami

    The Miami Dolphins appear to have ended their summer-long search for a replacement for Ricky Williams. They are close to reaching a trade agreement with the St. Louis Rams to acquire halfback Lamar Gordon.

    The Rams didn't want to trade Gordon, so the cost is likely going to be high. To get Gordon, the Dolphins may have to give up as much as a third-round draft pick, but they have the luxury of having acquired an extra third-round choice from the Bears in the Marty Booker-Adewale Ogunleye trade.     more (ESPN)

    I did not watch any Rams games so I do know if he is a decent back, a backup quality back or what but Fins scouting staff targeted him so they must think something good about him. Poor Sammy but when he signed in Miami he knew that Ricky Williams was there as starter.

      He won't be the workhorse that Rickey was, so - lucky for us - the Fins will have to depend more on Fiddler on the Roof.
      Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

        They won't have a 2nd or a 3rd round pick next year.

          They still have a 3rd rounder (they got one from the Bears/Booker/Whale trade).

          Now, this is what I do not get. The Rams draft him (gordon) in the 3rd round pay him (some sort of bonus) and then trade him to a team that is desperate for a 3rd round draft pick? The Rams really lost it on this one. Thoughts?

            Maybe the Rams concluded that they picked Gordon too high, and were happy to get back to even by getting a 3rd rounder in return.

                We had our own 3rd round pick and a 3rd we picked up in the Wale/ Booker trade. Not sure which one we gave up to the Rams ( reports say it was Miami's true third rounder and we held onto the Bear's pick ), either way, we still have one 3rd rounder. :)

                  Is Gordon even a threat? Will he be the undisputed feature back?

                    He is probably marginally better than Travis Minor and Sammy Morris. But that's not saying a whole lot.

                      Is Gordon a threat? It is a good question. Looking at his stats, he had a 4.2 ypc average last year but his first year it was at 3.5 His career average is 3.9, but that is only a two year span so it is hard to say which way he will go. On the plus side, he is only 24 and has a pretty small contract I do believe. Plus, having two third round picks to play with, using one on a player who at least can play to some degree in the NFL is ok by me. He caught 30 balls his rookie season in 13 games which isn't too bad.

                      For Miami's depth, he puts us four deep at the runnign back spot. Gordon, Minor, Morris, and Henry. Unfortunately, I think one of them will get cut and it will most likely be Henry, which stinks in my opinion because Leonard Henry is a diamond in the rough.

                      Minor will be starting the Titans game as well fyi. My guess is that Gordon, if he dresses, will see some time.

                        I remember hearing how great Trung Canidate was going to be (Faulk's previous backup) and he crashed and burned in DC, granted it was under Steve Spurrier's offense. Regardless, Gordon doesn't worry me.

                        Sweep the fish!

                          We'll probably cut a guy named Eastlick and move Sammy back to FB. That would give us Minor, Henry and Gordon at RB.

                            I don't see him as any kind of threat at all. He had a great few games as Marshalls backup when Trung sucked and he hasn't been able to do anything since then. He is #3 on the depth chart in St. Louis as of now and wasn't going to get much playing time....Who knows though, the kid is damn fast and he may be in a system that is more condusive for him...We will see, but Travis Minor is pretty fast as well, but last time I checked, it is hard to run THROUGH defensive lines...They need OLineman.

                              Last place I read said Sammy was starting against the Titans. Where are you getting your info?
