Miami fans didn't like the guy because he didn't produce. A change of scheme might do him some good. However, I sort of feel like he'll be cut before opening day after failing to make his presence felt on the D-line. Hopefully, I'm wrong!

In the end TT is doing a nice job trying to displace the riff raff with little to no upside with better players with upsideAll tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.

there have been some really good laughs here today, you and fritz should team up and go on the road.Originally posted by Cheesehead Craig View PostWell thank goodness TT signed a football player and not a pro fisherman. That would have been embarassing.All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.

For some reason this quote made me chuckle.
“I’m approaching it as the simple fact that I didn’t do absolutely anything wrong,” said Neal after practice."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

The Green Bay Packers signed free-agent defensive end Phillip Merling on Wednesday, adding depth to the defensive line.
The 6-foot-4, 295-pound Merling was a second-round pick out of Clemson by the Miami Dolphins in the 2008 NFL Draft. Merling started four of 32 games and recorded 59 tackles, 3.5 sacks and an interception over his first two seasons in the league.
He was arrested in 2010 for aggravated battery on a pregnant woman, but the charge was eventually dropped. Merling suffered a torn Achilles before the 2010 season.

Merling was arrested in Broward County, Florida on May 26, 2010 and charged with aggravated battery against a pregnant female.[3] The charges were later dropped by the Broward State Attorney's office after the accusing female moved back to her home state of South Carolina and did not return to testify against himI can't run no more

Unfortunately, that's about his only career highlight. I'm okay with the signing, but based on what he's done, I'm not sure that he's any better than Jarius Wynn.Originally posted by KYPack View PostI can't run no more

Anyone else find it funny how both sides dance around what the actual 'substance' was in these cases? There must be some of a non-disclosure agreement where PED's are only going to be called PED's as opposed to coming right out and saying if it was roids or cough syrup. I was surprised that they disclosed the punter was taking Ritalin. You would think if Neale was taking something innocuous he'd be more than happy to say it was an inhaler for ragweed allergies.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers View Posthttp://espnmilwaukee.com/corp/page/0...ame/662?feed=2

If, on the other hand, he was taking a drug for something like ADHD (just an example), there are some people who would prefer to maintain privacy.Originally posted by Guiness View PostAnyone else find it funny how both sides dance around what the actual 'substance' was in these cases?

Merling's an odd duck, has a prototype body, but he has some "want to" issues (particularly in the offseason), he's hurt a lot, and he doesn't use his hands well (once he's blocked he stays blocked).
Still, he's the sort of guy that could do very well after moving to a city with fewer distractions and great coaches (neither of which describes the Miami Dolphins football organization.)</delurk>
