Any OLs or LBs worth having?There are but the Fins appear more interested in the secondary: Dolphins claim two defensive backs Posted by Josh Alper on August 31, 2014, 2:31 PM EDT http://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/cd0ymzcznguwzdbhnduynddiytjhm2yyzthlmtjjotqwyyznptc2zmu5zjazndqzztixognhzdgxmjq1nmyzzdvhota3-e1409509868910.jpeg?w=215 The Dolphins have made some changes to their secondary. The team has claimed cornerback Sammy Seamster and safety Brandian Ross off of waivers. General Manager Dennis Hickey announced the moves at a press conference on Sunday while also giving the word that wide receiver Damian Williams and safety Don Jones have been cut from the roster. Seamster signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent out of Middle Tennessee State this offseason, but was one of the team’s final cuts. He’s a big corner at 6-foot-1, but only made 10 starts at the collegiate level so he’s still got some growing to do if he’s going to be a productive part of the Dolphins defense. Ross was waived by the Raiders a year after making 13 starts for them. He had 75 tackles and a forced fumble in Oakland and the team likely hopes he can help them weather the absence of Reshad Jones for the first four games of the season.Sammy Seamster?Yeah he does needlepoint in his spare time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Dion Jordan gets another suspension, this one for drugs Posted by Darin Gantt on September 19, 2014, 4:55 PM EDThttp://nbcprofootballtalk.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/x350-221-e1377684770163.jpg?w=196Not only did Dion Jordan not get his suspension shortened, it went the other direction. According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, the Dolphins announced that the second-year outside linebacker has been suspended again. His previous four-game suspension for violating the PED policy was lifted after two games, but was then superseded by a new four-game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. He will be eligible to return Oct. 20, the day after they play the Bears. “I am currently undergoing treatment to address my situation,” Jordan said in a statement provided by the team. “I am working hard to become a better man and to make better choices in the future. I am especially looking forward to returning to the team. I also want to thank my family, Coach [Joe] Philbin and the Miami Dolphins organization for their support.” The short version is he’ll miss six games this year, instead of four, and is looking more and more like a failed use of the third overall choice in the 2013 NFL Draft.

laughedatbytime Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 See, it's not really Jeff Ireland drafting shitty players like Dion Jordan that's the problem. http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/laces-out/miami-dolphins-curse-tequesta-indians-sun-life-stadium-dolphins-stadium-joe-robbie-092414?cmpid=tsm:fscom:foxsports It's been 30 years since the Miami Dolphins made a Super Bowl appearance. Back in those heady days, the team played their home games in front of raucous crowds at the now-demolished Orange Bowl. But there were plans brewing at the time to bring the Dolphins into the 20th century. A new stadium was in the works and construction began in 1985. But did the Dolphins' quest to bring in the new wind up wakening an old spiritual force that has doomed the franchise to an eternity of failure? A story from the Miami New Times gives us an interesting -- and let's face it, entertaining -- theory. While digging in the dirt in the area that would eventually become the Dolphins' team offices, ancient remains were discovered. They were identified as that of the South Florida Tequesta Indian Tribe, a native population that was wiped out in the mid-1700s by European diseases. Shortly before Joe Robbie Stadium (now called Sun Life Stadium) opened in 1987, the Los Angeles Times had an article that detailed its construction. The story did mention the discovery: "Then there were the two acres that archaeologists claimed were an Indian burial ground more than 1,000 years ago. They said that the Tequesta Indians had used the site about 800 A.D., and the Seminole Indians in the mid-19th Century." The Dolphins received permission to eventually remove the artifacts and completed construction. However, there were still those who weren't happy that ancient artifacts and a burial ground was disturbed. Miami radio host Rick Weaver received a couple spooky phone calls during his show in 1989. The first one said this: "I live across the street from Joe Robbie Stadium," said a man with a Spanish accent. "And I have put a curse on the stadium and the football games."Weaver remembers taking the second call. "This lady called and said Joe Robbie Stadium needed an exorcism because it was built on Indian burial grounds." Wow. Now, is there really a curse? Who can say for sure? But the New Times does gives us timeline and lets the rest of us make their own decisions.TIMELINE1. January 20, 1985: Dolphins lose 38-16 to the San Fransisco 49ers in Super Bowl XIX.2. May 1985: Tequesta Indian artifacts and remains are discovered on the land where the Dolphins now play.3. May to December 1985: The Dolphins hire experts to sift through the site, recover, and remove every artifact they find.4. December 1, 1985: Less than 11 months later, the Dolphins continue construction on what is now known as Sun Life Stadium.5. 1985 to present: The Dolphins have not returned to the Super Bowl since.
