Dolphins waive Matt Roth, sign Alama-Francis
In a very surprising move, the Dolphins have waived former second round pick Matt Roth. Filling his roster spot is former Lions DE Ikaika Alama-Francis.
Roth was a starter at strong side outside linebacker all of last year but had a "mysterious groin injury" that held him out of all of training camp this year and much of the season this year. But even still, this move comes as a big surprise as it seemed like Roth was possibly on his way towards becoming a solid run-stopping OLB in Miami's 3-4 defense.
It's hard to figure out why the Dolphins decided to cut Roth at this point in time. But the Miami Herald reports that this move "was strictly a football decision" - according to a team source - and didn't have anything to do with any outside factors, like Roth's groin injury from earlier this season. Sources also told the Herald that this was just a situation where people in the personnel department and on the coaching staff thought that Roth wasn't the same player he was last season. Asked if the groin injury could be part of the reason, a source said, "That's as good a guess as any."
But still - the timing of the move was curious, to say the least.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins added defensive end Ikaika Alama-Francis, a 2007 second round pick of the Detroit Lions. He spent two seasons in Detroit before being cut back in September. Alama-Francis is a 6'5, 290 pound prototypical 3-4 defense end who could very well see playing time sooner rather than later with Tony McDaniel and Randy Starks expected to get some snaps at nose tackle following the loss of Jason Ferguson.
Alama-Francis has played in 19 career games with the Lions, starting two. Before attending Hawaii, he was a three sport star in high school, playing baseball, basketball, and volleyball. So he's an athlete for sure. He actually was a walk-on to Hawaii's basketball team before decided to play football.

WTF!!!
Its weird – I thought about Roth just now on the drive home but I wasn’t expecting this. I’m not too happy with this move.

Cameron Wake
and Charlie Anderson. Need I say more?
Yes I should because Roth was outstanding last season. Porter is not getting any younger and I doubt that he would be starting caliber next season, but then again Roth may be too big a liability with a persistent groin injury. I’ve just decided I’m ok with this move.

I have to agree with Aleta
Roth was IMO our best olb and was still mdeveloping there and had concerns with him resigning BUT took solice in the fact we would get atleast 3rd round comp pick if lost. With this groin thing we lose draft comp pick(or him as our starting olb) and he loses millions in future pay, shitty all the way around

WOW!!!!!!!
I’m really surprised by this….
I know Cam Wake is looking like a beast and Charlie Anderson is coming around, but i can’t believe the Trifecta just released him without getting something in return…
They could have traded him, all they had to do was find someone who wanted to pick him up and move him to the active roster…
He would have been good for a 5th round draft pick at the least…
Anyways, i think this says alot for Wake and Anderson and how the Trifecta doesn’t want to limit there reps for someone with not as much of an upside

agree -- a control or 'message' move....
there was too much mystery here, none of its come out, so it would seem that roth wasn’t being up front with them either — or we would have some story by now. if he doesn’t perform, he doesn’t stay…
i’m sad. when matt was on, he was on. nice to have seen him through a few more games. maybe the practices were bad.
its starting to look like a more complicated ’draft, with more needs. but maybe the ’fecta is spinning new threads.

couldnt trade him
trade deadline came and went. He was to be a UFA at the end of the season. If you know that you dont want to resign him, then why not part ways with him now? Guy wasnt doing anything for the team since he came back, and he obviously wasnt recovered from the mystery injury yet either.

I still find it hard to believe that no one would give up anything for him though…
It wasn’t like everyone knew that he was gonna be released
I really think that the other OLB’s will realize that now is there time to step up and hopefully they will kick down the door now that they got there foot in there

"It wasn't like everyone knew that he was gonna be released"
Sure they did.
I’d have to assume that if Miami attempts to shop him to any of the GMs in the league, those GMs would turn around and assume that they’re doing so because they intend for him not to be in Miami next season, and want some sort of compensation while they can get it.
Then again, perhaps Miami never tried to shop him and just got fed up. The “football decision” may just have been that they didn’t think he was worth the money he would demand next season with the number of projects/potentially better linebackers already on the roster.

Matt Roth: You wanted to see me coach?
Tony Sparano: Hey listen Matt, I wanted to let you know that we’re gonna need you to step it capeesh or there will be dire consequences.

definitely surprised by that move. I guess they felt that JT, Porter, Wake, and Anderson was a good enough rotation for the OLB spots and decided to make Roth the example of “don’t sit with BS injuries.” That’s my best guess. Also signals to me that we’re probably re-signing JT for another year, or drafting an OLB high in the draft.. Seems to add another need instead of filling needs, but I’m not gonna kill the move until I know the reason.

greatly surprised by this too…. not the first OLB on the team that i would have expected to be cut, but then again his play this year didn’t compare to last years…
that said – wouldn’t you rather work out a contract with a guy who was your best LB last year then bring in someone who was cut from the worst team in the history of football?

I can’t see Roth being unemployed very long. There are lots of teams that now play the 3-4. Maybe to Green Bay to replace Aaron Kampman? Who am I kidding…..he’s going to New England.
I always liked Roth and but I lkike Cam Wake even more. As long as he gets the reps and NOT anderson, then I’ll get over this move soon enough.

Aside from the early season groin injury thing, this is probably more of a wake up call to the team and making sure everyone is on their toes during the last games of the season.

The trade deadline has already passed...
In order to get something for him we would have to have room on our roster to let him sit for the rest of the year. They obviously determined he was not worth the trouble anymore… They have the doctors reports. They obviously scouted this DE when he came out and they had the DB when they were in Dallas. This reminds me a lot of a certain 4th round pick we traded for Anthony Fasano and Akin Ayodele last year before the draft. We all liked Matt Roth, but honestly do we have a reason to question the decision making on this team right now with bringing the right 53? Jake Long, Philip Merling, Chad Henne(a draft pick we had gotten for Chris Chambers no less) Kendall Langford, Donald Thomas, Davone Bess, Dan Carpenter(aka DC$), then Vontae Davis, Pat White, Sean Smith, Brian Hartline, Chris Clemens, and I am still anxious to see what Patrick Turner can do…..

There was reference once that it started as a saidgroin pull or something by Roth...
… and then Sparano said he was told it was a groin injury, but that now it was not an injury. And he was pissed! Supposed conversation between them…

Sorry 4 been so late in the reply.
Ex, i was not trying to bash or flame anyone. I always tho that what happen be4 preseason, went Roth, 1st came out of shape, for training camp, he said he was ill. Sparano send him to do some test and all those test came negative. Sparano told the media that he was ill and that they where checkingf thing. That night, Roth’s agent told the media that Roth did have a groing injury. Went ask about it(to Sparano), Sparano didnt knew what the media was talking about. I remember that pretty well. Is thats not lying to ur coach, them i dont know what is. Sorry if i hurt anyones feeling for asuming.

Somethings not right
there’s something going on that we are not aware of , first he can’t play for some mysterious reason and now he’s waived from out of the blue…there has to be a good reason for this.

Worried
and not liking this move. Taylor and Porter are not staying long, Roth proved he could be an effective player especially on running downs.
I am worried about our player moves. 2 of last years picks were busts (Murphy and the other RB, Parmalee i think). Turner hasn’t played a single down as WR. We already know that Cam’s draft has been a nightmare, and now we are cutting our 2005 2nd rounder???
Don’t like this

I would be interested to see....
How many teams in the league would love to say they only busted on a few late round picks in the past 2 years?? Seriously look at the talent we have brought in. While I think we are a little bit over .500 with the free agent market on role-player vs. bust, we seem to be doing much better with draft picks.

was a 5th round pick….baltimore plucked him off of our practice squad. Cant say that he was a bust.

really
you’re worried that 3 of the draft picks in the last 2 years were busts? When more than half of the guys picked every year turn out to be busts? And we’ve had more successful UDFA’s than we’ve had busts? And Murphy was a project, tough to call a 4th rounder a bust (same goes with Turner, who wasn’t really expected to contribute right away). Parmale was picked off the PS because we were deep at RB with Brown and Williams both being healthy. Everybody else we’ve drafted has worked out. In the last 2 years, rounds 1 and 2 have yielded a Pro Bowl LT, a Franchise QB, a starting DE, 2 starting CB’s, and a QB/Wildcat weapon. You can’t be seriously questioning player moves right now. FA signings, ok, but other than a few big name guys that haven’t worked out (Wilford and Wilson, at least so far), they’ve been pretty solid there as well (Smiley, Grove, keeping Carey, Bell, and Crowder, JT, Starks…) and we’ve done pretty well with trades as well (Ferguson, Ayodele/Fasano, McDaniel)

Oh man
The trades that I manage to pull off in Madden! I have built the phinz into a juggernaut!! The key in Madden is to trade all of your high draft picks and players on the last year of their contract for strictly 3rd round picks. Why is that? Because you find just as much talent in the 3rd round as in the first and they cost you 1/10 of the money. It is a beautiful thing really. LOL. Surprised EA Sports hasnt figure this out yet!

I knew there was some controversy regarding the “mysterious” groin injury, but I thought Roth was playing well enough to keep his job. This is a very strange decision on the part of the Dolphin’s management. Hopefully, they know what they are doing and won’t come to regret this decision.

Am I the only one thinking that
we are moving back to running a 4-3 scheme most of the time for the next couple of games, we lost our main NT his back up is still 50-50 through injury and we have a couple of decent DT and a reasonable number of guys that can play DE.
Also this takes the pressure off the lack of MLB and means that we could see Porter, Taylor and Wake on the field at the same time all attacking the passer.
Therefore we need a good DE/DT and not a OLB/DE who is acting like a liability and as its a contract year if is head isn’t into playing good at all costs now, then he isn’t going to be doing well at all.
