I rest my case

Boxcarar – Thanks for the props. Miles looks to be kind of small, at least from the pictures, so maybe that had something to do with it.

StevieJoe – That’s a very interesting proposition about keeping 9 D-linemen. Certainly could be true with JA#98 being trained at DT. Thanks for the ups.

Ed – Thanks my man. The posts may slow down a touch when the first game starts, but the free flow will continueth until we play the ‘Fins! There will probably be about three and half a week at that point.

BT – Thanks as always. This is really turning out to be one H— of a battle. The signing of Winborn kind of took me off guard, b/c it seemed to be pretty settled with Adkins and James fighting for the last spot, in an effort to dominate special teams and get younger. We’ll see.

JWW – Mougey looked pretty good on saturday. He seemed quick and to be running precise routes, but when DB’s would lock on he seemed to kind of get stuck. Of course he saw most of the time when J.Parker Wilson was in the game. He may have had a chance at a TD when Chevis Jackson interfered with him in the endzone. Practice squad may be his best hope with Booker and Ferguson making noise. Between Mougey, Weems, Williams, and Bergeron, there might be one spot available.

mountain_jim – Thanks for the ups, but DOL does all the dirty work and I just kind of hit some things that fans (hopefully) want to hear. Appreciate the complements. We enjoy your responses.

CBrass – Yeah, I can totally see FL and LSU, but who will play QB for ‘Bama…..Joe Namath? And we’ll see how Ole Miss handles the pressure.

Seminole – Thanks my man. I keep telling your nephew that he’s gotta grow up quick so his Uncle Seminole can watch him in Red or Black. I agree that six is what we’ll keep. I can’t see us keeping 7 LB’s. I would be surprised to see us not keep Adkins or James.

BIRDMAN – Glad you’ve become a regular in the Bird Cage. You won’t find a more respectful, knowledgable and dedicated group than you’ll see here.

Unca’ Bob – Thanks for the updates my man. Training camp is really starting to rival the NFL Draft as my second favorite event of the year compared to the actual NFL season. Can’t wait for pre-season games. I agree, just going on skill sets alone, I’d rather keep and build Adkins as a long-term project. James seems light for an OLB.

Falcon Devil – Very good points for your man James. Adkins is very, VERY raw. There are question marks on both, but as far as Adkins, how could he not produce on a fairly sub-par Miami team?

Big Rich – Thanks for the complements, and we welcome you here in the Cage to share your opinions and discussions.

Nookah – Seems like you made a good call on Booker. He seems to be getting good reviews already in camp. We may keep Ferguson and Booker, and put off the youth movement for another year. Aaron Kelly and Darren Mougey seem to be all but out of the discussion. Weems, Williams, and Bergeron may be fighting for the 6th spot.

No need to apologize and can see how it could have been taken that way. Nice talking to ya. Have a good one!!!

I’m going to call it a night. Catch y’all in the AM.

I did miss something. My bad. I went over the lineups and didn’t find anything too glaring. Please realize it is way early.

LOL no it really wasn’t but we can pretend that it was! What did you think of the preseason line up?

It sounded like good humored teasing to me. And that’s a great sign. Maybe I missed something, but it sounded to me to be one of those bonding things.

No problem. It was a very good read indeed.

Unca’ Bob,

Sounds like you’re eating good!!!! I looked at it but can’t really give you an knowledgeable opinion on what I saw. I’ve been waiting around to hear the others thoughts on it.

Has anyone seen the preseason lineup charts? What do you think?
