Tony Sparano just said during his "day after" press conference that Patrick Cobbs is "done." It's an ACL tear. Tough loss.

That sucks

he’s our best special teams player if you ask me.

If you ask me – its time to cut some of these guys we have on special teams – and sign some fresh bodies that wanna tackle or block someone with passion.

It worked last year….we got better…we found some guys we still have like Walden. We need to make changes on special teams before it bites us in the ass and costs us a game.

Does anyone have Brandon London?

I was wondering the same thing about London.

He is currently a free agent. I wish we would get him back.

It makes hella sense...

We already have Hillard active every game….so we have that 3rd RB here already. A positive is he also is a good special teams player himself…two brids….one stone.

Brandon was a good special teams player…and he is VERY familiar with what we do…and hes healthy and fresh….and HUNGRY I GUARANTEE.

Bring him back……and bring in some other guys as well.

Damn

Cobbs did a lot for our team but….

Now Ginn has to return kicks (notice on the last drive he had a big return?) Also we get to see Hilliard in action. Now we look smart for keeping him

by kazam92 on Oct 13, 2009 2:19 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I figured it was an ACL tear. Atleast we have Hilliard as insurance.

How do you think Hilliard will factor onto the team? Will he have the same role as Cobbs did (minus kick return duties) and can he be a factor in the wildcat?

by JP 23 on Oct 13, 2009 2:20 PM EDT via mobile reply actions   0 recs

I hope he's practiced it a bit

He’s a powerful back thats for sure

by kazam92 on Oct 13, 2009 2:22 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well he'll have to weeks to practice it so that won't be a problem.

The question is whether he can catch or hit or if he has enough speed to hit the sidelines on a reverse in the wildcat.

by JP 23 on Oct 13, 2009 2:25 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions   0 recs

The man gets down there on Punt

Some one said Cobbs was the Fins best Special teams player, but I would have to say Lex has been. Yes he had a penalty, but I always see him making the tackles or being involved in some way. He can clearly hit, and you have to have some speed to be on special teams.

I am not concerned yet.

As soon as he went down, I knew

He was grabbing his leg and it was twisted, and I could just tell. There was nothing said about it cause he was on the Fins sideline but it looked awful.

I think hes just a big bruiser. Hes good for a change up. Maybe he will help soften up

the defensive line when he is in there.

i just watched the press conference too.

Tony Sparano love P Cobbs. You can tell that he will be missed, but at the same time we have Lex, and thats why he’s here. We have such great depth at the RB/FB position because of the way we play. TS has gameplanned for this and we shouldnt miss a step.

Cobbs out for the season, he’s a real workhorse. However, I am excited to see if there will be any Hilliard Wildcat wrinkles now, he’s one hell of a power runner

Justin Miller is still available

And it would be sweet to unleash him on the Jets in three weeks.

I know this goes against popular opinion but I didn’t like having Cobbs return kicks anyways. I felt much better with Ginn back there.

I think Patrick Turner is going to be a great player for us. You'll see...

Terrible injury to our "do everything" guy

This does open up a roster spot though. Hopefully we go out and get Justin Miller. Hate to say it but Cobbs wasn’t cutting it on KR.

Since we already have a 3rd RB

to replace Cobbs. Would it make sense to sign a kick returner/WR…That has been Cobbs’ duty and Ginn hasn’t ever really shown much, hes decent
