Looks like missing out of Nnamdi and Jeff Ireland worked out pretty well for the Boys. Ireland scrutiny more than this Incognito mess. I remember a lot of people, being high on him.

Ireland certainly is rubbing folks the wrong way. That piece today about him telling Martin's agent that Martin should punch Incognito is going to get him fired. There is going to be a serious house cleaning in Miami. I'd expect that they are going to go hard after a big name guy to right the ship.

Yes, between the recent events with Ireland and also what he asked Dez about his mother before the draft.
No wonder this happened for the Dolphins.

I saw a tweet from Sage Rosenfels who said he's played for 4 teams and under 9 different GMs and has been cut 4 times. The only GM he had an issue with is Jeff Ireland.

I'm sure the owner is going to clean house at the end of the season.

In 2011, some fans pitched in to have a plane fly over Sun Life Stadium reading: "MR ROSS: SAVE OUR DOLPHINS. FIRE IRELAND."[6]

At a home game in 2012, Ireland was seen speaking to and taking pictures with fans. One fan told him to "fire yourself" stating that Ireland has made the Miami Dolphins the laughing stock of the NFL since he's been GM. Ireland responded to that fan by calling him an "A-hole".

I swear if Standrick wasn't playing well we'd be taking a flyer on Nnamdi

Whatever.

Ireland gonna look like a genius when David Arkin is an all pro next year playing in Incognito's spot

Ireland's a huge fraud. Yet another guy who should send half of every paycheck he gets to Bill Parcells for being the only reason he got the job he did. (See also Haley, Todd, et al)

I wasn't that big on Ireland since he was so gung-ho on Stanback. And when Stanback was complaining about wanting to play QB, I knew that it was a bad pick. The QB to WR or TE conversions can work nicely. But if the QB wants to still play QB, you're screwed. It's too bad because I think Stanback had some real athleticism and talent.

I think Parcells fell too much in love Ireland because he spoke up on Jacob Rogers. That's nice and all that he was right, but it's about consistently being right that matters. And I also get the feeling that like Todd Haley, Ireland lacks the maturity for the big position.

I think Haley is a great WR coach. I think he's a competent, but overrated O-Coordinator. While he has the maturity of 12-year old with ADHD, he did show some skill as an assistant.

Funny enough, Mr. Blue Suit could not help but lambast the organization for letting Ireland go and for not considering hiring Haley as their Head Coach. They were probably the sources that told him that Keith Davis was dead.
