All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Devin would you trade him to Miami for the rest of their picks and Bling would you take him?
I talk alot of smack about Miami but they might be on to something this year. Although the mistake I think they might be making judging by their actions is that they might fall into the common trap (alot of teams do this-they go for broke at the wrong time) of falsely believing the team is better than it really is.
Bling what is your opinion on the state of the offensive line? That is the biggest complaint or source of criticism I have seen regarding the Dolphins in the recent past.
Re: Who might give us a first rounder for Clements?
Thats a tough call, the picks would certainly be enough, moreso a matter of if id want him going to a division rival. At the end of the day a 1,3,4 would be over paying for him so id tend to say yes.
Truthfully if we get a 1 or 2 for him id be happy.

Well now I've gone and goofed this all up. I didn't see the 3rd. You're right. That is WAY over paying but no way I'd take less than mid to high 1st rounder for him or a low first high to mid second.

If any person puts more value in the level of their team, it's going to be the fans. The thing that is refreshing with Saban is that he doesn't have patience in trying to over hype or predict things with a crystal ball--he tells it like it is to the dismay of the press--"it is what it is."
As far as the o-line, here is a recent snippet from SportingNews.com:
Re-signing OT Damion McIntosh was a shrewd move for the Dolphins. In the worst-case scenario, McIntosh provides excellent depth as a backup swing offensive tackle. Although L.J. Shelton has replaced him in the lineup for now, McIntosh has three years of full-time starting experience on the left side and is a good enough athlete that he quickly can transition to the right, if necessary. But the other interesting element to having McIntosh is that if the team wants to, it can shift RG Rex Hadnot to center, shift RT Vernon Carey to right guard, put McIntosh at right tackle and use up-and-coming OT Anthony Alabi as the swing backup. Look for the competition and juggling in training camp to be interesting under line coach Hudson Houck. . . .
Also in regards to Shelton, I don't have a link since it was in a recent Sporting News magazine, but I guess he was really enamored with Houck that he would've taken less money to play here after his meeting with Houck and Saban. I guess he feels (like a lot of people has,) that he's never lived up to his potential, so after meeting with Houck, he feels that the teacher can get the most out of him, and I guess his measurables is what Houck likes in a lineman, so it will be interesting to see which Shelton shows up.
