DOLPHINS: Jake Grove

[thebigfish at smunet.net]

Guess that answers the question as to why we went after him. The braintrust
knows that 
the interior of the OL was weak and they are doing something about it.

Unlike past administrations, I have a lot of confidence in the current
group. More 
directly, I think that Parcells, Ireland and Tony know a lot more than we
do.

I don't know if this will change anyone's opinion about the Dolphins' new
center, Jake 
Grove, but Ethan Skolnick posted this today on his blog:


KC Joyner, who is the NFL equivalent of NBA stats guy John Hollinger,
recently wrote this 
about Jake Grove:

"Amid this year's free agency frenzy, a trio of centers - long the most
underappreciated 
men on the gridiron- got plenty of love. No, the NFL hasn't become Bizarro
World. These 
O-Line men Supermen just happen to be worth the dough.... As if last
season's incredible 
turnaround weren't reason enough to fear the Fins, the team's latest
acquisition notched 
a POA winning percentage of 90.6% while allowing backs to gain 6.2 yards
per attempt 
behind his blocks. And Grove didn't need a lot of help either. The ex
Raider went one on 
one with defenders 67.5% of the time in 2008, far more frequently then
either Matt Birk 
(39.9%) or Jason Brown (60.3%)."
