Armando is reporting that the Fins have cut Channing Crowder. Who do we bring in as a replacement? Nick Barnett? Kirk Morrison? Kevin Burnett?

that's a big suprise. makes sense only if we use his $$ on another inside backer, b/c dobbins stinks and eads is unproven.

Best news I have heard in a while!

The thing there is that Bell is still a very productive player. Crowder hasn't been productive, or healthy, in a while.

Yep that sucks, Sad day for me, Crowder was my boy. Time to move on, Dolphins first!WHo do we have left, Dansby and Dobbins and Ikaika Alama-Francis, Austin SPitler, AJ Edds is gonna play inside maybe instead of outside. WHo else is available? I am guessing the team did if because of how his knee looked bad in physicals or they have an obvious upgrade line up. My freind told me Edds looked strong the other day, alot different then he looked when we drafted him.

on a side not- I am gonna have to think about the name change. I knew this day was coming, and have a few ideas, of which player, I am gonna honor with it...lol
Any ideas who I might choose? The front runner is probably not what you think?

why change your name? we still have someone on here posting as ChambersDeepBall

FINALLY! This guy was toxic to say the least...SOOOOOOOO HAPPY Crowder is gone!

he may have sucked but there is no doubt our D was much worse when he wasn't in there

I am a diehard Dolfan, my screenname cant be of a player from another team, it would be against my religion... If he retired because of his knee, I would do it..... but i don t think that will happen.

That is true. But, I think it speaks more to the poor quality of his backups than it does to Crowder. I like Crowder. He's a smart guy who works and plays hard. But, I've always felt he lacks the instincts to make him a top player. He's always been a step slow to get where he needs to be. And that's why the big plays have always been so absent.

Kevin Burnett may be the obvious choice as the replacement. He has history with Sparano and Ireland from his Dallas days. He had a breakout year in 2010 after he was moved to ILB.

Stephen Tulloch is probably the cream of the free agent crop, though. He won't come cheaply.

There's Barrett Ruud and Kirk Morrison, too.

Chambers got cut today. Maybe we pick him up, then I'll look like a genius

I got it!. Your new name.....

Ben Violin tweeting that Kevin Burnett is in town visiting with the Dolphins tonight.

Now that is a good move.

I read Miami is showing interest in Chargers LB Stephen Cooper.
-9yr vet
-has pretty many tackles
-went to Maine(maybe Sparano connection)

Don't know much else bout him.

Croder52, maybe you can start going by Pouncy63

Great Move. Guy was a waste .All Mouth , didn't back it up. Anyone can fill in and do a better job. Glad they realized it . God I miss #54.......


Maybe they are feeling better about Jared Odrick ?

Channing Crowder sucked as Ben Volin pointed out:

BenVolinPBP

Burnett made more impact plays last year (6 sacks, 2 FF, 2 INT) than Crowder made in 6 seasons with #Dolphins (2.5 sacks, 1 INT)

RESPONSE:
I got it! Downwithpublicemployeeunions.52?

C'mon, have a sense of humor, Crowder.

Berk- I like your thinking Pouncey63 has a nice ring to it, and your perception accurate as usual, it keeps with my Gator roots,

Chryen- that has a nice ring to it as well, and very descriptive, but I am thinking it might draw some extra heat, in an alreadys lopsided debate as far as numbers go... and I would have to have my local hyperlink in subtext below..lol

PF2- thanks I will do that... MLB's I am probably going to stay away from in my moniker...but I will say I am really excited about seeing AJ Edds play this year

The guys I like for obvious reasons, is Pouncey63, VontaeDavis21, Marshall19. Wake91

SO far a toss up, I like Pouncey because of keeping the gator roots,
VOntae Davis, I have been a defender and fan since we signed him, I like his style and attitude,
Wake91- he is an animal, one of my favorite players last year, but i worry about his contract situation, he might be unhappy this year if we dont pay the man..and i have only been a fan for one year
And finally I like Marshall becasue he is a beast and keeps with controversial nature like CHanning Crowder was... I kind of enjoy people in debates taking shots at the player I have as my namesakes, it is kind of funny and gives me a leg up... Choosing Marshall19 would surely keep that tradition going for me

not sure, I am gonna have to sleep on it, until the answer becomes clear

Why would we cut the best most proven safety we got. Am i missing something.

It wouldn't shock me too much. This organization made a number of questionable cuts last year. Why would we cut our best special teams player and former CB starter? Why would we cut a productive OLB and leave ourselves with a rookie and a 2nd-year player? etc..etc..

We thats what i was missing.......His age....These players are well trained maybe he is still got 2 or 3 years left...

I still want to see him play for the phins a couple of more years just for his experience and he hasn't seemed to slow down at his age. He can still play.
