    No that would be Mike T shockingly getting embarrassed in another playoff game.

    What did you want him to do? Be like kazee and get a penalty, fine, ejected?

    I'm not sure what that has to do with Minkah being rusty :rolleyes:.

    The defensive structure has not given him the role he is supposed to as a ball hawk roamer he should be. Mishandled by genius Capitan Cliché's defensive scheme. Yes expectations are high for him but he was being misused.

    What about that kid that got hurt in preseason? He was having a really good camp. Cory Trice I think?

    Minkah has missed a lot of time and probably rushed himself back. He couldn’t be 100%

    He will be fine

    What ever way they are using Minkah, it isnt working working, he hadnt done much all year with no interceptions. That's not good. Not playing like an all Pro. He is much better playing deep safety and not all over the place and trying to cover for the linebackers.

    Even after the fake slide he just jogged along.
    Don’t forget the missed tackle that led to another TD

    He had the Bills WR and tried to throw him to the ground. Didn’t work.
    Gave up a TD.

    It ain't like he can just go at full speed again and catch him after he realizes he's going for the endzone.

    He got hurt at the end of OTAs I believe. That said, there is still Darius Rush from South Carolina that they had interest in. Would rather roll the dice on him than going in the draft.

    This.


    Great players will be great; regardless of circumstances. For further information, see T.J. Watt circa 2022 to 2023.

    Why not? He's a pretty good runner. We're not the only team he's run on. Throw in the hesitation to hit a quarterback for fear of a flag and fine........no wonder guys like him and Jackson gain so many yards.

    Not only is Allen's running dangerous.


    People tend to forget how massive he is. Dude is 245lbs on a good day. With that size and that speed?!?!.... good luck.

    Wasn't Minkah leading in Tackles when he went out with injury? If not, was dang close. Seemed Minkah was being used more as a run stopper and gap filler.

    He still finished 3rd in tackles (and only 4 behind Watt).


    Never going to complain about Minkah. He balls out and is all heart. Would take 22 of him.

    Never on the field? Really? Games started: 17. Dude got held all year (like most rushers as the league tries to minimize QB injuries), double-teamed and chipped.

    The Line-backers were playing solid before being decimated.

    Some of you are drama queens.

    Again, as I posted before - everything i've found he rings in around 238. Mason is same size. Missed the speed and cannon part.

    Fair enough.


    However, players can change weight during the season. What is currently listed on the teams official website isn't indicative of what the player actually weighs.

    Fitzpatrick looked like a HOF safety the first season they had him. Since then I haven’t seen anything that is special. It reminds me of how great Kalil Mack played for the Bears the first season he was there. Maybe that initial season is trying extra hard to prove the Dolphins messed up. Then after a while it’s “I already proved my point. Considering his contract I just don’t see the production. What’s our record with him out of the lineup?

    He is basically the same height and weight as Rudolph. Josh ran a 4.75 and Rudolph ran a 4.86. Why can’t Rudolph at least buy time in the pocket or scramble and make the defense choose between him or the check down player

    Didn’t he make all pro this year with zero interceptions. I feel like all of that stuff is a popularity contest. I don’t think I could name 8 free safeties in the league. Is he getting voted in because of past years. Tomlin has a Super Bowl ring.
