First Christine, now Shelley.

She's certainly built like a lineman.

Snap, Oh

Strictly speaking, as superficially as I can be at this moment, if an athlete goes by the name 'Shelley', he must be one tough mofo!

Like a boy named Sue.

One of the most interesting thing about all these visits and signings (not trades) so far is that they are all with players who were released, not "natural" free agents . . . the significance is that none of them count against next year's compensatory pick equation.

Was he a cap casualty to pay for Suh? Probably can't be much worse than Carp in any case

Yes, he was a cap cut. And PFF graded him out worse than Carp last season. Not very big either.....measured 6-2 7/8 at his combine. Very short arms (32 1/2) and small hands (9 1/4), too. But he fits the ZBS, has some versatility and starting experience at both OG spots (and a brief experiment at Center), and wouldn't count towards the compensatory pick formula if signed/kept next season, so not the worst guy to bring in for some veteran off-season insurance along the interior OL.

Replacement for Bailey when he moves up to LG next year

Makes sense. I expect them to look into a lot of options at Guard even more so than Center. I think we will find Unger much more replaceable than some of the 'doom and gloomers' would have you believe. I expect them to go with Lewis/LJP and maybe a rook at Center and then attack Guard with a couple free agents, a draft pick, and an UDFA or two and get a lot of competition going there to find the right fit.

Classic! Hopefully, she will put together something along the lines of The Real Rob Report

Miami's guards were dismal. Every one of them.

Cable has a pretty good track record with guys who were terrible elsewhere. Breno, McQ, and Omiyale.

Obviously, he must have misheard Alex Gibbs' famous line about finding garbage men, and interpreted it to mean searching through garbage.

I think it is more a desire to have a team with femmy names. Christine, Gurley, Shelly...

From funny to embarrassing in one post.

Dolphins fan tells me he was good coming from St Louis as a part time player. In Miami, he was always just healthy enough to play but not healthy enough to play well.
