brandon marshall to miami

ohhh yea.. about time tuna made a move.. lets go fins

This might help them in Madden.
I used the 'Phins and Pat White, and every time that White would throw an accurate pass, the Wr's would drop the ball (except Davone Bess)
Hopefully this move helps them in Madden and real life.

They're already tuff, next year...

Buffalo wakes up this morning, wait you can trade for good players?

Can't wait to hear pats fans complain today on sports radio, its gonna be great!

wow! man i really wished that my Ravens made a move on this cat for Flacco, however, for him to go to the dolphins is very surprising but a plus for them. the "Tuna" strikes again.

Good job Tuna and company, as long as we can land a stud pass rusher or Berry with out pick at 12 we will be looking even better for next year.

so will the phins be a more used team next year? are they a legit team to roll with now that they have two RC guys and a nice slot?

yes especially if they give henne some love next yr on his rating..

BAHHHHHHH

AFC East is now the BEAST of the league

tho

I don't know if the Dolphins will be used more in tournaments..

My grades on the following players are based on how great of a player they are on MADDEN. It takes into account if the team has better players (like Gibril Wilson; I wouldn't have him starting anyway, so he is basically a third backup.. does nothing to hurt the team)


Lost:
Joey Porter [Madden Grade: C+] [Slow for a LB.. 78 speed; 6'3" good.. 95 hit power 85 tackle]
Jason Taylor [Madden Grade: B+] [83 speed AND 6'6".. great for a LB.. but not elite speed]
Gibril Wilson [Madden Grade: F] [Only an F because there are way better players on the team..
Akin Ayodele [Madden Grade: D] [Too slow for a LB.. 6'2"]

Add:
Brandon Marshall [Madden Grade: A+] [Best RC WR in the game.. 97 CIT; 6'4"; 88 speed.. low carry like all WRs.. but a GREAT WR.. I'll miss him =(]
Karlos Dansby [Madden Grade: B] [He has 79 speed.. this will help the team because they are expected to lose Jason Taylor... I rate him a B because of team need for a LB.. 79 speed isn't bad; 6'4" is great too.. 90 Tackle 87 Hit Power is good too]


They've added a bunch more people, but I couldn't find them on this year's Madden.

They have a great offense, but it will definitely take a BIG hit if they lose Ted Ginn Jr.. He's the one fast WR they have.. He can stretch the field.. Send him on a route in man coverage in the slot... the LB / NB is toast..

I know everyone will use Pat White, but Pennington has 97 short throw accuracy (which for any QB on Madden really doesn't matter too much).. Pennington has the noodle arm too =[ I'd say Pennington > Henne > Pat White > Thigpen on their QBs right now.. Thigpen is expected to be traded...


Well that was fun =p

I still say that the NFC East is the toughest division... Eagles are good.. Cowboys are good.. Giants can be good.. and the Redskins have a lot of change coming which I expect them to go 7-9.. Most of those wins are against division rivals too..


I do miss Brandon Marshall... We won't draft Dez Bryant because of his issues.. even though they don't seem big to me. I bet we go LB; Hopefully McClain.. In the second round we have pick 43 and 45.. In between those picks is the Patriots... You will see Bill Belichick pick a player that Josh McDaniels wants.. I bet he will at least.. That's a tough draw lol...

I think we go WR in the 2nd round.. then maybe DE... We need some good DEs... Safety is possible, but we have a 1st and 2nd year player now.. David Bruton was a rookie last season, and Josh Barret just completed his 2nd year in the NFL..

I hope we go QB honestly, but with Brady Quinn =( I think McDaniels is going to try to make Quinn his project.

The dolphins still have a terrible secondary...

what?! smith and davis are way good?!

Too bad there are reports of letting T. Ginn go or this would be a top 5 offense imo

I never know if these conversations are about real life NFL or Madden...

In real life the dolphins secondary has potential, but they gave up a ton of big plays this year. They are very young so it's hard to tell how they will actually develop. I will agree that Davis is a bright spot there, Smith it's too soon to tell. Ted Ginn was terrible except for his kick returns, and I can't see Marshall making a huge difference this year if its only gonna be him and Bess as the main receiving core.

The fact is that when Ronnie Brown got hurt they didn't use the Wildcat nearly as much, and it immediately impacted the team's success. This is a running team, and adding BM is great but how much are they going to alter the formula to get him the ball? If he doesn't get enough touches, he could end up being a problem in the locker room, we all know his off field issues. He's a great WR but I just don't see him being a great fit in Miami....


And Mili, aren't you happy enough with Boldin? Come on man lol

I don't remember him complaining about getting the ball... He did fake injuries. He was a baby in Training Camp.. I think he's matured, but I still think he's going to get into a domestic dispute eventually like he has so many times in the past.

ronnie brown going down was a blessing in disguise.. we were not going anywhere last year regardless and that gave henne a chance to develop.. we did very good actually once he went down-considering..

as for the secondary.. they are young so what could you expect.. we brought in wilson to be the vet and he was absolutely horrible and was the weakest link to me..

bess had to be used as a #1 wr which is not what he is.. but i really like him so now that we have a true #1 wr he will be able to do his thing.. ginn sucks no ifs/ands or butts about it.. hartline/turner/camarillo allgot expierence and will benefit from marshall for sure

bigger question

does he change his jersey number or give Bess some $$$

Doesn't look like it. http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/04/15/1581061/davone-bess-miami-dolphins-no.html

Bess doesn't want to sell it to him

He better change it... I believe the franchise can change it for him lol... That would be fucking hilarious if they do..

Well now Guinn's been traded to the 49er's for a 5th rounder. Dolphins making some moves the last couple days.

yea would have like to see something better than 5th but oh well.. at least he is finally gone

lol! of course i am Soxx. but, BEFORE my Ravens signed Boldin....there was talks about our going after Brandon Marshall and i definately felt that he would have fit in perfectly (like Boldin does) as a Raven. besides....what "true" fan (like myself) of their favorite team wouldn't wish that they had ALL of the top-talent on its roster. c'mon man! lol!
