Miami are going to be a very good defence. The only question mark they have is with pass rush, but i think outside of that they are set in most positions. Like us they are transitioning and we didn't do too badly last season!

DBs too, do they have the Defensive backs to be able to sufficiently cover Edwards, Holmes, Keller, Moss, Welker, Holt, Edelman, Evans, Wayne, Gonzalez, Garcon well enough to compensate for a lack of pass rush? I think they will be fine against the run but might be an obvious target for the pass happy teams.

Who's the Packers backup?

I wanted there D on my fantasy team but they had gone. I think they will be top of the second tier defences. The first tier being Green Bay, Vikes, Jets, Ravens, Steelers and one or two others.

I've got the Dolphins D, I need a QB?

Like most teams they have the DB's to handle them in normal formations but would struggle if teams played four and five wide. Vontae Davis and Sean Smith will improve at CB and they are OK at safety.

Looking at the stats they are pretty average. Rushing wise they got burned by Steelers, Carolina and NYJ but they all have potent rushing attacks. With passing they gave up a fair few yards to very good QB's like Schaub, Manning and Brady but did ok for the rest.

Matt Flynn from LSU would be our back-up. We drafted him in the 7th 2/3 years ago after he won the BCS national championship.

We also picked up Graeme Harrell a while ago, who IIRC was Michael Crabtree's QB at Texas Tech and he's our 3rd.

Am I having a mare or can you not put players on the trade block like in seasons past?

Re: NFL Chat 4 : Mon Aug 02, 2010 3:05 pm  

I've got Maroney, Holmes, Garcon, Knox available.

I'm fairly happy with my Colts D.

Plus i'm not trading Schaub and my back-up is only Hassellbeck.

Since he got caught doing something other coaches admitted doing themselves not knowing it was illegal: 16-0, 11-5 (with Matt Cassel) and 10-6, yep terrible sack him now I say!

I love it when people take a comment and go off on one with it. Not a bad record I know but how many Superbowls has he scooped in those seasons? Do you have evidence of these other coaches admitting to video taping? I can't say I've read a story which contains these claims.
