Dolphins release Shawn Murphy, sign Lydon Murtha
In a bit of a surprise, the Dolphins have released guard Shawn Murphy and signed rookie tackle Lydon Murtha off of Detroit's practice squad. Murtha was a 7th round pick by the Lions back in April.
I guess this shows faith in Donald Thomas - but more importantly in Nate Garner as a top backup guard.

i like it.
i had high hopes for Murphy (4th rounder?), but i like the fact that the Dolphin Triad is not afraid to make a move like this; cutting a guy that they picked even though it could draw criticism.

Eh, most people won't criticize releasing a 4th rounder.

I think he’s a project. Combine numbers are off the charts. I think he needs some work in our conditioning program. Need to improve his strength and durability.

Whose to say we won't re-sign Murphy again. He's a decent back-up.
Maybe they did this to exit out of his contract?

There are times in my life wheere I have self-doubt, but when this happens, I simply ask myself: What would Don Draper do? So I bone a random whore.
Husker used to talk about this guy. He was the best thing about that Nebraka line.
Glad we picked him up. It’s too bad about Shawn Murphy, though. I was always a fan of his father Dale, so I was hoping for the best for him. Oh well. I think Murtha’s a definite improvement for sheer size alone.

It'll be awesome have two 6'7 o linemen
I really hope he works out cause that’ll be something to brag about. Two 6’7 pro bowl linemen, best offensive line in the NFL dominated by two goliaths. Headlines.
I want to know if he’ll be a project and for how long? I know he won’t start, but will he ever see playing time this year?
Fanaticism is not logical
Maybe the Trio sees some future Mark Colombo in Lydon Murtha (as a RT)
I like the potential look of the OLine
LT Long 6-7 317
LG Thomas 6-4 310
C Grove 6-4 300
RG Garner 6-7 325
RT Carey 6-5 340
Abandoned the Draft Sean Smith at #25 Bandwagon to Join the Draft Sean Smith at #61 Bandwagon and get Vontae Davis and Chris Clemons. Trio > me.
Terrance Taylor
Anybody know anything about this guy? He was cut by Carolina and I kind of liked this guy in the draft.
I dont know who he is. Fill us in!

Going to take a guess, he plays on defense?

Keeper of the "That's what she said"
Played For Michigan
He is a little on the short side at 6’0. He weighs 310. 37 reps on the bench. High shool wrestler and state champ. By the way I thought highly of Murtha. He’s a 3-4 NT.
by FinFanFromCA on Oct 20, 2009 9:52 PM EDT up reply actions
Eventual Replacement for Carey?
Murtha was ranked as the nation’s No. 1 offensive tackle prospect by ESPN recruiting analyst Tom Lemming. Prototypical height for right tackle spot. 6’7" 315lb. Matches Longs height/weight almost exactly. Played right tackle at Nebraska. Big, smart and athletic.
