Emerica Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Pouncey asked to be released. I love how everyone is spinning it like the Dolphins we're the ones who wanted him out. Quote Working to confirm @AdamSchefter report Mike Pouncey requested release and Dolphins granting. Two days ago Dolphins told me Pouncey stays. Said had new regimen planned to keep him healthy. Last night they were making OL plans with Pouncey at center. Anyways, to respond to a previous comment, I think he's still a good player no doubt but he's one of the most, if not the most, injury prone player we've had in the past 6-7 years. That says a lot about a team who employed guys like Reggie Bush, Branden Albert, etc. He played the entire 16 games last season but the team made him practice once or twice a week to preserve him. All in all, he's somewhat living off his name but I still think he has plenty of juice left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedTheClock Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Now all they need to do is cut Cam Wake, Robert Quinn, and the rest of their horribly overpaid and overrated squad and they'll be good to go! Seriously, this team is weird. They are set up to win like 5-7 games for the next few seasons...aka perpetual mediocrity. I really think they need to do a roster blitzkrieg, embrace the suckitude, and build from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfishwars Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 You can have one or two bad character dudes, but too many and they club together and ruin your locker room. Patriots do just fine with this approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tunsil has essentially been a choir boy for Miami, regardless of him being videotaped smoking a plant 4 years ago. Pouncey actually had his healthiest season in 2017 in quite a while, but they had to milk his practice time to make it happen. He rarely practiced with contact. His hips are ticking time bombs. I get why they would cut him, I also get why it would have made sense to keep him. I'm fairly ambivalent about this move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can tank like the rest of Jets and Bills did last season they might end up having a pretty good season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoleINGout Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Strong chance to land in the AFC East with either the Jets or Bills. I think the Ravens may look into him too. Surely there are lots of possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was good before he had a string of injuries. He's been pretty bad the last couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilseb93 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Pouncey is overpaid and injury prone. He's paid like a great player to be average and get hurt. He also commits penalties every game. Center is a need now, but I'm so happy he's gone now. I was worried we were stuck with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Punch Man Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Seattle, for the love of god.. bring him in. I know he gets hurt but we need interior lineman with talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm- wasn't Pouncey one of the sporting young gentlemen who allegedly bullied their teammate, Jonathan Martin, a few years ago about his racial identity and masculinity? Along with that other Vienna Boys Choir Alto, Richie Incognito; and John Jerry? http://dailydolphin.blog.palmbeachpost.com/2018/03/04/miami-dolphins-mike-pouncey-not-concerned-about-apparent-threat-by-jonathan-martin/ "During the 2013 season, Martin blamed then-Dolphins teammates Richie Incognito and Pouncey for bullying him, triggering an NFL investigation and leading to Martin’s departure from Miami and eventually the NFL. Incognito also was tagged on the Instagram post." - Wouldn't it be odd if he rejoined the supposedly-reformed Incognito in Buffalo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr LBC Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Pouncey told by doctors last year that he was going to need hip-replacement surgery within the next 5 years? If his hips are trashed that's no bueno, especially for an IOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
