I am not sure, just got the tweet from Mort, I find the whole thing odd. First that Snyder would say that(but with SNyder anything is possible), secondly that Peter King would print a bogus quotes, and then third for Mort TO repeat the false, quote... It is an odd desperate news cycle the NFL is living in these days

Ireland said the phones weren't ringing. Could mean many things coming from him. Prob didn't offer enough in return.

I was reading tweets the day of the draft saying Pit was trying to trade up but only if he fell past Miami.

Sounds to me like they knew we wanted more than they were willing to offer. They weren't the only team either. I heard Baltimore wanted him too.

IN ADDITION, you both are also forgetting that a part of the equation is who Pittsburgh THINKS is a competitor for Pouncey.

They may have crossed Miami off their list thinking that Miami would go for either Ingram or LeShoure or Mallett.

Again, PF2, I think more people had us taking Ingram than Pouncey although late in the pre-draft season Pouncey appeared in several mock drafts.

Dude, you are the last person to start attacking "B.S Stories". Did you see the garbage you posted a couple days ago???


This story is legitimate and the only reason why you are attacking it is because its not your opinion and it hurts your validity as a Dolphins fans. Most people have caught on to you being a troll.

No respect for the police, apparently.

I dont' think he's a troll. Too much thought goes into his posts, even if I don't agree with him all the time.

Trolls post short hit-and-run crap, TCoast is at least following up and and having a discussion, even through the labels others have thrown at him.

It could also mean the phones didn't ring because they didn't pay their phone bill...after all they *are* strapped for cash these days.

Appriciate that JC. Don't try to make anyone agree with me, just offer my opinion and always back it. And I've made mistakes here and addmitted them. I think just recently someone posted that Donald trump has claimed Bankruptcy 4 times. I was like.....no way! Guess what? Its true. I was wrong. So You man up and say , good point. I learned something today. Apparently A&O is intimidated by that. In fact most of what he just posted could be classified as Hit & Run crap. Kind of a case of the troll calling others trolls huh?

You have not 1 single motivating post. Not 1. Every single post from you is negative.

I think if you have an all-star center, you don't make him a guard to cover up other deficiencies on your OL.

Center is a more skilled position than guard.

You keep Pouncey at center and shore up your guard needs by making do.

You don't shore up your guard needs and "make do" at center.

yeah that was my agenda when I woke up this morning. How can I motivate A&O? eye rolling smiley

Do a search of mine Pre draft. Tell me that then. Just be a man like I was and be able to admit you were wrong. This draft turned me sour. And NOT because of Pouncy. read my post right after Pouncy was selected. I praised it. Go ahead. I'll go get the ketchup for your foot.

I agree, good post, I was just wondering if his pulling guard ability would overweigh his value at center, I guess they might try and do the pulling center stuff that Pouncey pulled off in college, but is not really used in the pro's that I have seen... His feet are his specialty, especially for his size. He can handle the power and still has the balance and speed to get into secondary blocking.

I have to give A&O credit on this one, he called this pick before anyone, against popular opinion of most experts in the early days of the draft speculation, everyone came around at the end, but it took a while for sure, including me, and I am a Gator and watched his entire career in all of those different positions. I guess because he was moved around so much, he never had time to play a position for more then a year, other then guard and his team won a national championship and he was an all pro after he got a second year at the same position. A&O gets the honorary Gator award for backing a gator even when his own alumni didnt...smileys with beer

I am not sure Treasure, A&O has always treated me fairly, and I dont have one bad thing to say about him. You must have offended him or said something you probably shouldnt have said on a site filled with die hard dolphins fans. He is tough as nails, so going head to head with him I wouldnt reccomend.
Just man up because you are relatively new around here with some strong opinions, turn the other cheek, an try and be respectful, and I imgagine, he will cut you some slack.
On message boards it is tough, respect isnt neccessarily given, if the approach is wrong, alot of times you are gonna have to earn it.
I dont think you are a bad guy, but you cant come to somebodys house that they have had for a good while, and in the first few months go pissing in all of the corners, and not expect to ruffle some feathers.
It is a tough crowd around here and it is worth earning the respect IMO. But you can take it for what it is worth...But to give you an idea, you are kind of like a rookie calling out a veteran, that dont always fly, but doesnt mean anything personal. We are all fans that love our team. We dont always agree, but with respect, you find a way to respecfully disagree with others who have earned that right, At least that is some of the unspoken code around here, I hope I dont get in trouble for letting some of it slip, but you seem like a good guy that wants to contribute, so i'll take the risk...smileys with beer
you get more with honey then you do with sour...

Not looking to start a fight. But the man called me out more then once. There is the thread before your eyes. Tell me what I did that was so negative and disrespectful please?

I let it go and let it go. Now he makes a statement like the one above. I have addmitted wrong when I'm wrong. I have conceded when people makes points that are better then mine. THATS how you earn respect in my eyes.
