Locked Out No More.


With the NFL lockout seeming to wind down, as a Dol-Fan I naturally dread the moves we will needsily make in another offseason. The Fins need up grades everywhere. Personally I would like to see the Fins grab a RB who is great out the backfield in receiving and can actually run relatively fast, think DeAngelo Willams or Jerious Norwood or the big bruiser in Kevin Smith.
The QB is also a position that i believe needs an upgrade, although I am not a Henne Basher. I can see Henne as a Trent DIlfer type of player if not better because of his semi-automatic rocket launcher for an arm. Vince Young would be a long shot and not much of an upgrade. Donovan McNabb can still play at a high level, but he's looking to compete for a ring with his career on the tail end. And after that the QB available gets to be slim picking. The Lbs are terrible with the exception of Dansby, so I'd take a look at former UF backer Mike Peterson and former Canes' Rocky McIntosh. With the passing up on Dez Bryant in last years draft the WR position is still in desperate need of talent. Bess and Marshall are are great posesson WRs but with Henne's arm we need a burner. I would look towards Steve Breaston or a high risk high reward guy in Donte Stallworth.
Whatever the Phins do we know a few things. It wont be popular with the fans, and nothing "sexy." With the smelly Tuna now gone and giving free advice to the 49ers, after we paid 10 million a year for that, hopefully we will take some more risk and actually seem to be trying to get better. I'm not saying, I'm just saying.
