This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
I was bored so I thought I would predict my final 53. When picking this team, I assumed that all of these players make it through the final two games healthy and Matt Roth eventually gets placed on the PUP.
Under these assumptions, give your opinion as to what adjustments you would make. Please do it in a drop/add format and then explain your reasoning. Have fun.

I think we keep 5 WRs and an additional NT: Tony McDaniel.
I also think we keep one more LB (J.D.Folsom) and one less DE:
1.Paul soliai is much slimmer and playing well. He played well against carolina....
2.Hopefully John Denney does not messed up ever again like he did last year. Thankfully that did not cost us the game but...............It can very well cost us a game in the future. I think he is reliable enough not to have a mental lapse once again. Noticed they worked out JT in his spot just in case!!!!!
I think we are stashing Nalbone on the 53 man roster until other teams fill out their practice squad so we have a better chance of putting him on ours. He really hasn't done much to earn a roster spot yet.
It will be done after we see who drops on waivers to #25 for an O-lineman.
