Miami Dolphins Complete Roster Cuts

The Miami Dolphins completed their roster cuts on Saturday, meeting the NFL's deadline for submission of the 53-man roster. The team came out of the Dallas Cowboys game with 79 players on the roster. They began the purge with the waiving of wide receiver John Matthews and the terminating of safety Gerald Alexander's contract last night.
Today, the news slowly leaked out of Miami about who the Dolphins were keeping and who they were cutting. In the end, the Dolphins terminated the contracts of six players, waived another twenty, and placed on on injured reserve.
Some of those cut from the 2011 roster could be considered mild surprises, such as fullback Lousaka Polite, cornerback Will Allen, and running back Larry Johnson, not necessarily because the moves came out of nowhere, but more because they had played well in the preseason, previously in Miami, or were in a position with limited depth. Several Phinsider members had commented on all three of these guys, expressing their belief that they would be gone, but still, once it's happened, it is a little surprising.
Another group of the cuts came from players who could have been seen as guys making the roster. These include backup quarterback Pat Devlin and cornerback Nate Ness.
Overall, however, of all the Dolphins' cuts, none of them could be seen as shocking moves. Perhaps the most unexpected was the naming of tackle Lydon Murtha to the injured reserve. Murtha had seen success during the preseason in his role as the team's starting left tackle while Pro Bowler Jake Long recovered from injury.
Murtha's performance led many to speculate that he would eventually be moved over to the right tackle position to take over from the struggling Marc Colombo. Now, Murtha will not be able to see the field again until 2012.
The complete list of the Dolphins' roster moves is below:
| Placed on IR: | |
| T | Lydon Murtha |
| Terminated Contracts: | |
| RB | Larry Johnson |
| FB | Lousaka Polite |
| T | Ray Willis |
| NT | Ronald Fields |

| WR | Jonathan Matthews |
| WR | Julius Pruitt |

Now! The season has begun.
I can breathe again.
(and draft)
I will agree to disagree with you - as long as you understand that I'm right.
Ecstatic that we kept Kearse!
Disappointed we still don’t have a legit kick returner.
Depressed that Murtha won’t get a shot to replace Colombo who could single handedly get our qb murdered.
Wondering what our cap room is like now…

Good, cheap FA upgrades out there: Gurode, E. Royster, L. Sheppard, J. KirkPatrick, K. O'Dowd, D. Thomas, D. Avery. Dolphins not pulling their weight: B. Sapp, J. Berger, J. Jerry, I. Alama-Francis, M. Columbo.
Let's bring in Mana Silva and Jake Kirkpatrick
Both were cut. Also Brandon Tate was cut after a promising "rookie’ year last year. Averaged 18 YPC. Some interesting players still out there we can improve the roster with.
Henne is the greatest and the Dolphins will go 14-2 this year and win the SB
I'm tempted to agree...
…but we already have so many receivers in that mold.
You mad? You jelly?

[Currently hoping that Reggie Bush isn't as useless as I think he is]
I dont even care about Tate much to be honest
As much as I’d like to see him succeed and stick it to New England. I view Silva as a potential NFL starting safety, a gifted athlete with 4.43 and GREAT hands. He’s had 14 INT iover the past 2 years at Hawaii despite making the move from QB at Oregon State. His tape is pretty awesome.
And Kirkpatrick, not sure why he was cut but surely he has at least good backup potential. And we need a lot of help on our line. Didn;t allow a sack or penalty last year at TCU, and won Rinington Award for nations best C. He’s a bit of a project and not an NFL specimen, but thats exactly what Jeff Saturday was going Undrafted over a decade ago.
Henne is the greatest and the Dolphins will go 14-2 this year and win the SB
Tate was drafted in the 3rd round in 09

Wow. Mixed feelings.
1. Ecstatic that we cut Will Allen. Definitely past his expiration date.
2. We cut Lousaka AND Johnson? 0_0
3. I’m really upset that Murtha is on IR. Hopefully Nate Garner can somehow miraculously cease to be mediocre.

Reactions...
1. Will Allen will probably end back up where he started, NY Giants (the probably didn’t offer enough in trade before the cut line)
2. Lost some ‘big back’ player depth there.
3. Nate Garner’s the last line of defense against another o-line churn-fest

Polite was superfluous. Larry Johnson as well. There was a big “WTF” reaction when he was picked up in the first place. The guy is old; he may run well for one game, but he will not be able to keep that pace for much of the season. He was a wasted roster spot.

Also heard Brandon merriweather was cut not that we necessarily need a safety but I think it would be interesting personally

I'd be more concerned as to why the Pats cut him

Speed
The guy is one of the fastest in the NFL at FS and made the pro bowl the last 2 years. What are you talking about??
pats fans will tell you he sucks at tackling and takes horrible angles
they were suprised when he made the pro bowl this past year also. Gurode made it should we pick him up? I wouldn’t mind Meriweather but his ego wouldn’t let him come to some place to be a backup.
I got S + What a Dog's Tail Does.
Bring back Pat White. He is the chosen one.
Gurode was not cut due to him being a bad player as much as the fact that Jerry is
cash poor and is cutting salary left and right. He had been asked to take a pay cut and refused. Not the same deal.

Agree Tex
Thank you for clarifying Tex. I knew that about Gurode as well. A lot of people assume because someone gets cut, that it means they are “bad players”. In the end, this is still a business. And YES, I would love to have Gurode- a 5 time pro bowler.
Yeah especially since he is still on the market making him an even better
value. Every day he goes unsigned his price will go down just a little bit more.

Was in 09. He was almost as bad as Gerbil in 2010.
Except instead of missing tackles, he tackled his own teammates.

Apples and oranges
I was debating the SLOW and LAZY comment. Neither of which is what you are talking about.
We need to trade a WR or a DL player for a RT or G.
We could also trade for a TE. We have to have a contingency plan if our Right side of the O-line doesn’t develop more consistency.

cut Desmond Clark, might be worth a look.

why did we keep marvin mitchel? he makes the 5th ILB!
why did we keep jason trusnik AND alma-fran? they make the 4th and 5th OLBs!

we're not done yet, bro
this will not be our final 53.
Kearse is a young NT that has shown promise in the last 2 preseason games.
We will cut either Spitler/Mitchell and only keep 4.
Jason is easily our best STs player. Alama-Francis is a solid run stopper. Doubt we cut one but maybe.
LJ averaged 1.8 yards if you take out that TD he had. He’s not that good.
Hilliard and Clay are way more versatily and Hilliard blocks as well, maybe even better, than Polite.
I agree with Allen, but $1.8 million is a lot for a number 4 CB at best. Wilson and Carroll are better ST players and are younger options.
I got S + What a Dog's Tail Does.
Bring back Pat White. He is the chosen one.
we are running a spread offense with daboll that the reason for cutting polite
Lj was like livas only made 1 play and only good at 1 position. Hillard play RB FB ST. Alama-Francis is a good player. Allen might still not be a 100%

They did struggle quite a bit but there was no doubt on that play that the blocking
was exactly as it should have been. Also it was a bunch of second/third/fourth stringers vs. the other teams backup so………..

I realize that
I was joking poking fun at that because it seems like people think we’re throwing 5 Ted Ginns out on the OL as our starters.

You need a lot of LBer depth in a 34. We have lacked that since this FO came here. 'bout time they fixed it.
We might be looking to trade one of our DEs, to cut it down to 5.
Starks lost the weight he put on to play NT, so he can’t play the position now. He doesn’t weigh enough.

Safety
LCB 24 Sean Smith …27 Benny Sapp
RCB 21 Vontae Davis … 28 Nolan Carroll … 35 Jimmy Wilson
SS 37 Yeremiah Bell … 29 Tyrone Culver
FS 30 Chris Clemons … 20 Reshad Jones
The weak link in the secondary is at safety. We’re only as strong as the weakest link on D.
Safety worries me as much as the right side of the O-Line.
Well
Those safties did help with a top defense last year and now are a year older. So what’s wrong with the secondary they will be great.

Culver is good depth.
If Meriweather was okay with being the backup, sure get him and release Culver. Otherwise I wouldn’t worry about our SS depth.

The guy was getting targeted and burned all pre-season.. by backups!!! I used to think he was solid but after watching him play and watching the progression of Clemons and Jones, Culver is horrible.

Merriweather
Has off field issues … doesn’t give 100 % in practice … and from what I’ve read, takes too many improvised chances and takes bad angles on tackles. I don’t know if he’s worth a chance. But … we could use help / upgrades at safety. I love our D … don’t get me wrong. I just always look for improvement … if It’s available. Once the team is finally set … I’ll root for the team we put on the field to succeed.
Hartline
Played a bunch against Dallas … I was suprised. I thought Wallace and Moore and Gates would have played instead.
maybe they were displaying him?

Lonyae is a is a power back similar to Lex and he was cut by Dallas hense us taking their throw-aways. An it's funny 2 weeks ago they were talking about him being the second or third back and having a strong camp.
Have you ever watched Seyi play? Didn’t think so. He fits that mold of a big receiver with decent speed and great hands. He was actually a better receiver than Moore. Just different skill sets. Charger’s thought they could sneak him onto the PS.

The Chargers do a pretty good job at talent evaluation. Even though AJ Smith can be a dick at times.
An it is not like the Charger’s suck at Receiver. They have solid depth. I would say equal to or better than ours. An Seyi didn’t exactly last long on the wavier wire. Seyi will get playing time so we will see. I would be willing to bet there were multiple teams putting in claims for him. I would rather have a guy that could play today than wait for him to develop. If all other things are equal. AKA.

I think Adam Froman would be a nice player to stash away as the No.3, he has tons of potential but not much expirience.
He could be a solid quarterback in a couple years. It took Henne 4 years to figure it out, so there’s hope with this kid.
I also like S Mana Silva, RB Evan Royster, and C Jake Kirkpatrick.
If we do add Kirkpatrick, I’m guessing that all but assures that Joe Berger and his $3 million contract will be axed and Shaun O’Hara will sign with us after week 1. He’d be an excellent mentor for both Kirkpatrick and Pouncey.

I cant imagine Joe Berger is that much of an upgrade to Kirkpatrick now, and obviously doesnt have any potential, so why not pick up Kirkpatrick and cut Berger and his $3M/year?
Henne is the greatest and the Dolphins will go 14-2 this year and win the SB
Berger proved it last year he cant block NT's
i dont know how he’s still here especially at that price

a few issues
We definately should of kept devlin, I doubt he passes through waivers, someone will pick him up. Spitler should be gone. IAF should be gone. We should try to sign kirkpatrick to replace Berger. Btw, what’s the differance between being waived and having you contract terminated?

Disagree on IAF
If Misi goes down we will need someone good against the run. I dont trust Taylor in that role

Donnie Avery - Rams cut
i watch some of the Rams preaseason games and Avery looks like he was regained his speed.
i htink he would be a serious upgrade for the Dolphins and could easily challenge Hartline for the # 2 WR position on this club.
From National Football Post
http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Rams-run-some-wide-receivers-out-the-door.html
Bounced out the door were Donnie Avery and Mardy Gilyard, among other cuts. Avery was the first wide receiver selected in the 2008 draft and in his first two seasons (with suspect quarterback play) he combined for 100 receptions for 1,263 yards and eight touchdowns. But Avery suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during preseason last summer, and now he’s not going to play for new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.

I would love to get Avery
I thought he was a great player when he was healthy, insane speed
he claims he's back to sub 4.4
like 4.3X type speed.
he would be a perfect compliment to Marshall and Bess IMO

We have enough WRs. If we get anyone, it has to be a great KR.
We have a very good one, but not an elite one.

Remember G Wade Smith?
Apparently he’s doing great as a starting LG for the more than solid offensively Houston Texans.

G—Wade Smith, Texans. He’s been a key piece of a very effective unit.
what would you give to have that guy back about now?

Nothing he sucked here mainkly because he is strictly a zone blocking lineman and we dont run a zone blocking scheme

Patriots to visit with Andre Gurode
Dolphins not interested?
by scrappy the wildcat on Sep 4, 2011 9:00 AM EDT reply actions
Pats just signed Watters
I doubt they will sign Gurode too
My thoughts
1. Glad we keps Moore and Wallace
2. A little surprised we lost Allen
3. Lousaka, after 2009, he seemed to disappear completely…had to go
4. Mad that we kept John Jerry

We aren't 1 under the 53...
unless we cut someone today. We have 23 on offense, 27 on defense and 3 specialists. That’s 53.
