Weekend Roundup: Talking Dumervil, Senior Bowl & more

by Matty I on Jan 25, 2010 12:15 AM EST in 2012 Miami Dolphins News

Well we now know the match-up for the Super Bowl and it should be a good one. More importantly, all is once again back to normal in the universe thanks to the Colts' win over the Jets. But why has nobody asked Rex Ryan about how "shocked" he must be now? Remember, he said last week that he would be "shocked" if the Jets lost. Well his defense allowed over 450 yards of offense and 30 points. What does he have to say now?

Of course, that game was an example of how the game of football is changing. No longer do good defenses beat good offenses. This is now a pass happy league. What does this mean for the Dolphins? I'll leave that open for debate.

Let's now talk about some of this weekend's headlines:

Is Dumervil on Miami's radar?
The biggest Dolphin-related story to come out of this weekend really relates back to the biggest story last week - Mike Nolan's hiring as defensive coordinator. With Nolan now in Miami, speculation is beginning about Miami's possible interest in Broncos outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil - who led the NFL in 2009 with 17 sacks.

Most of this speculation is stemming from a report by ESPN's Adam Schefter, who tweeted:

Mike Nolan brings 3-4 defense to Miami, along with knowledge of Broncos free agent LB Elvis Dumervil. Look for him to be on Miami's radar.

But Dumervil is scheduled to be a restricted free agent - meaning the Dolphins can't simply negotiate with him and sign him, if they were interested. Instead, they would have to work something out with the Broncos as well. I'd imagine that Denver will at least use the first round tender on Dumervil ($2.4 million) and could even use the first-and-third round tender offer ($3.1 million).

So if the Dolphins were interested, you'd have to expect the Dolphins to try working out a trade with Denver rather than simply handing over at least a first round pick. And in all honesty, I wouldn't even think about giving up the #12 overall pick for Dumervil. Why? The guy is only 5'11 and is a one trick pony. Yes - he can rush the passer. But he gets blocked into next week when teams run at him. He flat out stinks against the run. In fact, of all 3-4 OLBs to play at least 25% of their team's defensive snaps, ProFootballFocus rated Dumervil as the 2nd worst run defender in the league.

Besides, don't the Dolphins already have a one trick pass-rushing pony named Cameron Wake? Why not let him develop? Let's see what Nolan and his scheme can do for him.

Senior Bowl week upon us
On Monday, Tony Sparano and Miami's coaching staff will begin their week long job as the South's coaching staff. Practices, by the way, will air all week long on NFL Network.

This opportunity is an excellent chance for the Dolphins to see some of the top prospects in April's draft up close and personal. And the Palm Beach Post pointed out on Sunday that two players the staff will likely pay close attention to are Terrence Cody and Dan Williams - both candidates to play nose tackle in the NFL. Cody is massive, coming in at 365 pounds. Williams is also a big guy himself, tipping scales at around 327 pounds. Both are big and strong and are solid nose tackle prospects. But both have red flags.

Cody is rumored to be lazy. And he didn't exactly dominate at the college level like a 360 pound potential first round pick should have. Williams, meanwhile, also has conditioning issues and is known to not have a "full-go" kind of motor. The Dolphins will get a chance to see these two practice first hand - which should provide some valuable information.

Those two aren't the only two key players who are on the South squad, though. The full South roster can be found here. Some of the other notable guys Sparano and company will be coaching include QB Tim Tebow, TE Jimmy Graham, S Taylor Mays, DE/OLB George Selvie, and WR Jeremy Williams.

Quick Hits

In PFW's latest "Audibles" article (where NFL scouts, coaches, and front office personnel share their thoughts on the condition of anonymity), the Dolphins are shown some love - with Chad Henne being referred to as a "very good" young quarterback.
The Dolphins reportedly told CB Nathan Jones they are interested in re-signing him. But his agent and the Dolphins are apparently far apart in contract talks.

JETS suck...but ...

Matty makes a point today about the NFL being a more “pass happy” league now. He is RIGHT ! and Miami needs to get with the program now…Henne needs weapons RIGHT NOW. Until we realize that ALMOST ALL the rules are setup to favor the offense – we will keep losing to teams like the Colts, Chargers, Saints, Texans (went to this game)….by the Way Miami was not FLAT coming out for the Texans game – they were totally ready and fired up… But a Great QB/WR’s combo DESTROYED OUR OVERSIZED LB’s who can run in coverage… Please stop going for Huge payers who can’t run… Look at INDY’s DEF, as well as the Saints.
Now About the JETS sucking…Truth be told the HATED JETS are light years ahead of Miami right now on DEF – and run the ball better and SANCHISE – just gained a LOT of valuable EXP in the playoffs. TUNA and Co MUST get 1. ILB to cover and stop the run (McClain #1) 2. A true #1 WR (Dez Bryant if McClain is gone) 3. a starting NT 4. More LB’s and WR’s…..
Its depressing to think how far away Miami really is right now….but maybe……

For sure the players.

170 will be restricted instead of being full FA’s. That will cost many players millions. If you resign your guy aka RFA they can only receive a 30% raise also costing some millions. Some teams are restricted to the number of FA’s they can sign keeping them from bidding on some players and thus helping keep the bidding price down in some cases. The teams are not required to add money to many of the funds that are set up for the players like retirement and health plans. The union will have to get more money from the players to make up for this loss. While not having a salary cap there is also no salary floor meaning that teams could dump some serious salary and use this year to save a ton of money. I believe that this hurts some of the older vets that may cost more than the produce as the teams can just dump them and their large salary’s. I am sure that most of these guys will sign somewhere else but at a large pay cut.

Another great job, Matty -

But the best part of this article is easily the caption under Rex’s face. That’s damn funny…..and not fair to the other contestants on the show….Rex automatically wins as the Biggest Loser as soon as he shows up.

I don’t think we need to go after Dumervil. This team has a LOT of “pass rushing” LBs. Porter, Taylor, Wake….etc. I know most likely not all of our LBs will be back, but we were killed by not being able to cover TEs and the run was not as well stopped as it was in ‘08 (especially when Crowder wasn’t in the game). Yes, I know in a 3-4, the LBs have to get to the QB, but if you can’t stop the run, or the TE is ALWAYS open, you’re still in trouble. We need to look at coverage/run-stoppers right now, not another pure pass rusher.

by Phin king on Jan 25, 2010 10:31 AM EST reply actions

IMO...

Picking up Brandon Marshall would be the only guy from the Broncos that I’d like to see in a Miami uniform next season. Dumervil very much IS, in fact, a 1 trick pony, as Matty posted. As long as we can keep a leash on Marshall (IE – give him that contract he wants, for starters), there’s your #1 receiver. If we’re looking to plus a hole on defense via FA, I’d focus on Dansby, rather than Dumervill.

Best case scenario – Miami trades for Marshall for Ginn and our 2nd round pick (which causes Denver to select D. Bryant in round 1), pick up Dansby via FA, draft McClain at #12 and trade Crowder to the Raiders for a 2010 draft pick (4th rounder??).

OK…I just woke up…wishful thinking.

by Tunaflipper on Jan 25, 2010 11:28 AM EST up reply actions

Marshall, Dumervil, and many other potential FA signing's

are going to be highly affected by what happens with the collective bargaining situation. If no agreement is reached and we have an uncapped season, then for all intents and purposes, Dumervil & Marshall would largely be off the market because they’d both be categorized as restricted free agents. Meaning the price would be very heavy, not just in money but in additional compensation.

Now as Matty said the other day, a trade is a possibility but then how much do you give up?

Ideally, a new CBA gets worked out and things can proceed as ‘normal’.

I think Indy's defense was just as responsible for the win,

so I think you still need BOTH squads to be good to win, and don’t forget special teams, it has always been this way.

Profootballfocus has Gerbil as the 7th best defender on our team, just sayin, stats are stats, Dumervil may suck against the run but PFF isn’t the gospel, just like any other stat board.

IDK how much you learn at the Senior bowl, it isn’t like a real game, I’m sure they pick up some tid bits, but I doubt it helps much when evaluating players, too much time spent putting a “vanilla” game plan together, just sayin.

you don’t get a lot of time and it’s a different enviroment, it’s tough enough getting playbooks in, and since neither team is a “real” team it’s hard to come to any conclusions, it’s a form of an all star game.

That's exactly what they evaluate....

The fact that some players look at it as “not a real game”. That’s exactly what coaches will look at for evaluation purposes. The game might not show much, but these practice sessions will show coaches a tremendous amount of what type of person a player is, not to mention any potential they may have. Coaches will see during these practices which players want to play in the NFL, and those who think they deserve to play in the NFL.

In case you can not guess, we despise Rex and the rest of the Jests. Matty’s credibility is just fine here.

Just think how stupid the average Jest fan is, and then realize that half of them are even stupider! ( a parody of a George Carlin line)

I think I got banned for defending Matty. Not really sure. I was not cursing at them like they were me.

fat joke?

No – he’s the “biggest loser” for blowing a 17-6 lead in the AFC title game. Has nothing to do with weight.

It seemed like an attempt to take a cheap shot

But if you say it wasn’t meant for weight, I still think calling a football coach a loser (even if he really is a douche, which he seems to be; even if he, his fans, — even fan blogs — deserve it, which they may), I still think it’s unnecesary from you who set the tone on this blog, to character hit a guy in a pretty personal way for what is doing a job that is essentially entertainment. (then again he certainly opens himself up to it, and perhaps I just need to lighten up)

But I say this because while I’m new here, I really like the blog and think you do a great job of covering the team and things that are important to Dolphins fans. I think you just set the tone for the nature of the discourse and it’s my opinion (for what little it may be worth), that the blog as a whole is better off with you (and any other oficial writers) showing some restraint that the rest of us reader/commenter knuckle-heads (myself DEFINITELY included) won’t always show.

It’s obviously your show and I’m trying (and failing I’m sure) not to be on a soapbox, but it’s purely my opinion and I will simply, and respectfully, “change the channel” if you disagree and it’s not my personal taste.
