Would be good for reasonable price



Will need to add at least 2 RB, Thomas doesn't cut it


Go get Chris ivory!

This team will have yet another year without talent.

------------------------------------------------------------

Miami Dolphins. Always Perfect.

I'm usually against re-signing guys like Reggie, but in this case he is a special talent that can not be replaced so easily. During the last 4 games he was especially important to this team as a dual threat.

I hope they re-sign him unless Lamar Miller is ready for primetime?

Eddie Lacy in the 2nd!!!

I think Bush danced too much this year but I do beleive he would have been a bigger threat had our line been more consistent. Usually zone blocking is better for a one cut and go type of runner. I did see Miller hitting the hole very quickly but he rarely made big plays...although he was in limited action.

Bush behind a good line would be a valuable play maker and Sherman did not use him enough in the passing game. Something he should have done when the line was struggling.

Reggie has never really played behind a dominant O-line. In N.O. they were ok in pass pro but not really good running the ball between the tackles.

WE still run the WCO and a RB that can catch the ball is a very good thing. Not sure how Miller will do in this area. I also don't think Philbins offense utilizes a pass catching RB as much as some other offenses like Andy Reid, old SF and GB.

His entire offensive line is composed of future NFL first round monsters.

I'd love to have Lacy but not willing to give up a draft on RB when we have other needs. I think we will fill rb thru FA with a journey guy, have RB by committee. Hopefully, Lamar Miller can become dominant.

Some draft sites have Lacy falling to the early third round. I don't believe that, however we have one 1st, two 2nds, and I believe two 3rds for picks... I think we can address WR, OT, DL, CB, and a RB with that situation, especially since we are sitting pretty good as far as free agency money is concerned. We have to start picking up 3-4 yards consistently on 1st down with a running game if Tannehill is to be sucessful in the air.

I would rather invest in the line to offer more protection for Tannehill and bigger running lanes for Miller and Thomas. IMO We just need a 5th or 6th rounder to compete for a spot. Maybe we find the next Arian Foster or Alfred Morris who was a 6th rounder who had over 1600 yards this year as a rookie. He had a 4.8 ypc avg.

I'd invest in a good O-Line coach (ala Hudson Houck). We've spent WAY too much money on players for the O-Line during Sparano's reign...and where did that get us?

Just because someone else failed doesn't mean we can just stop investing in it.

I think we have to get the right players. It doesn't have to be high priced FA or high draft picks necessarily (although likely) but we have to transition from project big to project athletic.

If you look at all the top rated FA Tackles this year...they were all high draft picks...1st or 2nd round. Here are the top 8...

Andre Smith, Brandon Albert, Ryan Clady, Gosder Cherilus, Will Beatty, Sebastrion Vollmer, Phil Loadholt, Sam Baker...

Even Houck couldn't do much with the line in Dallas over the past couple of years. He was there from 08 to 2011.

I'd like to pick Lattimore with his injured knee in the 4th

I could live with that.

I just don't want to see a RB before our last pick in the 3rd round.


I/m not normally a big fan of Wisconsin RB's...I think they are usually VASTLY overrated, but I really like Montee Ball. He reminds me of Curtis Martin.

Would love to take a shot on him or Lattimore .
