Dolphins acquire DT Tony McDaniel from Jaguars

Giving us more depth at a position we SORELY need to improve.

churning the bottom of the roster. Like Sparano said after the season he’s looking for another 16 new guys, competition is the name of the game, earn your spot or lose it.

6’7" 310 lbs. He will definately be a DE in our 3-4. It is a nice pickup. Safe trade for a 7th rounder.

I hate all the negative posts on this site : )

this guy is a monster

that he is a DE – he doesn’t have the height/weight combo of a NT- but he is the prototype of a 3-4 DE.

somebody for Joe Berger to block in practice!

wtf? who are these people who grow to 6’7? I mean seriously?

I love it….7th rd picks? I take a poopie and i see them floating in the toilet….they are a dime a dozen…this guy comes cheap….knows the NFL….and can play right away if needed…that kicks a 7th rd picks ass anyday.

This looks like a NT to me. thats the size…maybe hell do it all…maybe hell be MVP of the league…ok maybe not

i dunno about stop piling lesser known ex-Vols…thats the ugliest orange on earth lol…they have to have issues from wearing tha for 4 years….

LOL…“DREADS DON’T LIE”

He is a 6’3" 235lb MLB from FAU
He ran a 4.83 40-yd dash
He is projected a 5th-6th round pivk.
He had 141 tackles last season, 9.5 being for a loss.

If you ask me, he could be a steal in the 5th or 6th!

Cus I know some people just can’t trust me and feel I can’t ever break a story. lol

I think that this could mean that Starks could go ahead and move to NT full time – and really learn the technique. Starks has all the strength that he needs he needs to learn those angles that Ferguson knows so well. This guy could play behind Langford.

I’m American. Not an true Aussie yet. I just love Australia :)

It is his agent…whats he supposed to say i know…but a 7th rd pick…when you have 3 of them? this is a solid move….53 solid moves = Super Bowl….soooooooo

.McDaniel played college football at the University of Tennessee. He left college as a junior to enter the NFL Draft but was not selected.

Dude this isnt the NBA….you gotta REALLY be misinformed to leave early and not get picked. Im thinking he wasnt up to college studies. Shoulda came to FSU!!!!

Hey guys!!

I did some research on Tony McDaniel and found some pretty interesting stuff. He was undrafted from the University of Tennessee and was a three letterman. Everywhere I read he was know as strong and dominant. Despite all the articles on him as being injury prone, he was considered to be producticve, a quick learner, a warrior in the weight room, and was once again, dominant. Despite his size he was actually pretty good when he was healthy and Jack Del Rio said that he had tons of potential. He sees it each time he steps out on the field. He just couldn’t stay healthy no matter what he did.

I personally it is the system in conditioning. Now that he is here we could whip him into shape and he could do damage for us this season.

There is promise there…I mean he is only 24. I’m glad we got him….

Go Dolphins!!

7th rounder was it???? We have 3!

… I was really looking for someone at least 6’10".

you all harped on grove being injury prone or having poor performance, but this guy is an injury machine and the TOE!?!? seriously!?!?!

Toe/Foot injuries are the most likely to prevent an athlete in this sport from returning to 100%… I can’t get behind an injury prone, recently toe-injured, RAW DE, even though while healthy he’ll probably contribute to our D…

At least not as easily as I can get behind a center who we have film of LAST SEASON handling 1-on-1 the NT’s of our conference that were a major issue with our inside run, DESPITE his injuries which are commonly considered a result of all the cutblocking he was forced to do w/ Oakland’s zone blocking..

Green, Grove, now this… Our FO is in love with this battle of the cripples I guess..

Unlike most articles I’ve read, this one shows some encouraging points for Fin fans…

“although McDaniel hasn’t lived up to the expectations that earned him a contract extension prior to last season, he is still a player with great upside.”

The proof is in the pudding and this guy must have eaten all of his pudding as big as he is… because there’s no proof that he can do anything (except maybe fight in which case he should probably try mma).

i like the ht @ 6’7" and the wt 310lbs I think it could work at any DL position but this dude has little experience and bad feet. I fear he could be a big bozo. granted for the $ he could be a steal for a 7th rounder but 3 yrs, 25 gms, 37 tackles,1.5 sacks and he’s from tenn…someone might need to point out the qb to him, draw him a diagram of his assignment and remind him of which one is the left foot and which one is the right.

i like the orange in just about any shade it comes (except that bright floresnt homo orange)

thats why i’m a dolphin fan, chi bears fan (+ the legend walter payton) canes fan, and a gators fan (not a fsu fan at all!) and though i’m not a big fan of famu or tenn u i dont route against them or any other team thats brave enough to sport the orange (unless the tenn and the gators are doing battle then it’s all gators!)

Orange you glad that’s over……
