Daniel Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hickey did work tonight... Traded down twice to the end of the second (picking up a 4 and a 5) and took Jarvis Landry, WR from LSU. I've yet to read anything negative about this kid. Mayock and McShay said he is the toughest receiver in the draft bar none. Fights for every ball that comes near him. The only reason he slipped was his 40-time. Dude catches EVERYTHING and gets serious RAC. Has the potential to be a great slot receiver and a serious weapon for Tannehill. Then he traded up in the 3rd with Oakland, (giving up one of our now two 4's) to get Billy Turner, OT NDSU. Looks like he'll get run at both guard and tackle from what Hickey said shortly after making the pick, and could start at guard. Very good day 2, keep up the good work on day 3 Mr. Hickey! The Landry pick seemed to redeem him a bit, but I really don't like the James pick, especially since it seems the two lineman taken at the beginning of the second round were better. I dunno the guy just looks like an old man that's slow, but maybe I'm wrong. I guess though that I kind of understand what Hickey has been doing the offseason, which is getting as many guys to fill in the O-line as possible, and hope enough of them are good enough.

MadDog2020 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 The organization really needs to lock down fvcking Twitter at this point, its ridiculous. Truth is, while I have no issue with gay people whatsoever and I'm happy for Michael Sam, that whole thing was very tough to watch... I was uncomfortable watching it. I'm sure others were as well. But Don Jones and everyone else on the team should know better after the Martin/Incognito garbage that you don't go posting sh!t like that on Twitter because there's absolutely nothing to gain from it. There's no excuse at this point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd venture a guess that most people are weirded our by it, but whatevs.There's a reason why Lou's special sauce involves a no twitter policy. Edit, which reminds me when the Devils used to do the kiss cam and would always end with two guys wearing the visiting team's jersey. The DOJ's civil rights division would launch a full scale investigation if that happened these days. How things have changed.

MadDog2020 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Here's some info on UDFA's being signed, and a cap on the draft. Overall I agree with Kiper- not a flashy draft for the Fins, but solid. I liked our day 3. http://miamiherald.typepad.com/sports-buzz/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I think sensitivity training is obsurd, but its the world we live in now... Eventually these guys need to realize that while no one begrudges anyone their opinion, you can't go putting controversial sh!t on Twitter because you represent the organization, and you WILL be reprimanded/fined/cut depending on what gets said and who it pisses off. Its just the way it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Sensitivity training creates awareness of a problem. Penn and Teller???? It was on their show Bullsh!t on Showtime. They showed what actually goes on in these sensitivity training sessions, and presented data showing that it doesn't achieve its stated goals, or at the very least there's no data at all that even suggests that it does. It's basically a CYA measure devised by employment attorneys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Well training camp is well underway. First day in pads today. Jarvis Landry has really impressed so far. Every tweet I read about him the last three days has said you put the ball near him, he catches it. He's a vacuum. As long as he stays healthy, this kid has the potential to be a major steal for us.

We just always here this stuff about our draft picks, and they all underwhelm basically without exception. Let's at least wait until a preseason game to call a late second round pick anything other than hopefully being a bona fide starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, we need something to try and get excited about right? If we had the WR depth that we have at other positions on the roster, we'd be a SB contender. WR and d-line are looking like the deepest spots on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
