David Arkin to sign with Dolphins

[Tabascocat]

No ill-will from me, good luck in South Beach Arkin. Don't drink too many mojitos!

 

[dallasdave]

There it is the new all pro line for the fishmen.

 

[dragon_mikal]

He'll be a Pro Bowler in no time for them.

 

[lwehlers]

good for him I hope he plays well.

Arkin gets to swim with the Dolphins

 

[Supercowboy1986]

awesome, that means there is no way he can be on the team now. unless JJ trades a couple of 1st round picks...

 

[CaptainMorgan]

A new target for them to haze and bully

 

[JakeCamp12]

They probably just wanted to assure Martin he would no longer be bullied by that roster spot.

 

[unionjack8]

Meh. He didn't see the active roster in 3 years despite our ineptitude and injuries on the interior OL.
Poor player, nothing more to be said.

It seems the Dolphins have learned their lesson. In signing David Arkin, they've added a player who is incapable of bullying anyone.

a day for rejoicing!!!!

People around here rejoice over the weirdest things...

Never understood why we hold onto a guy THAT long that we had ZERO confidence in. Can someone explain that to me?

That was the hard part for me to understand. I felt Arkin played well in the preseason, but the Cowboys showed no confidence in him.

Of course, maybe they felt he was at least better than some scrub they could pick up off the street if they needed an extra lineman.

It might have been best for Arkin, though, if he went to a team that is fully committed to a zone blocking scheme. His movement skills are a strength, while strength is still an issue (just not as big of one as it had been).

ELLIS IS A TOOL. No class.

 

[BHendri5]

I hate that we lost him , never giving him the opportunity to prove that he can play or not. Now he will get the chance and if he ends up being another Brian Waters I will a little bit pissed and happy for the young man.

I highly doubt Ellis would go up to Arkin and say that in fear of being bullied around.

More like drown. What a joke of an organization.

I'm disappointed there isn't more rueing.

Could end up being another Harvey Dahl, but I doubt he'll ever approach Waters' level. (The difference, of course, is Dahl didn't get any chance to develop in Dallas while Arkin has had several years ... and has shown some improvement.)

According to PFT, Richie was told by Dolphin coaches to "toughen up" Martin.
