Ross (born 1940 in Hamtramck, Michigan) is an American real estate developer who lives in New York City. He is the founder, chairman and CEO of The Related Companies, L.P., a global real estate development firm. Related is best known for developing the Time Warner Center, where Ross lives and works as well as blowing up the Miami Dolphins franchise with a series of bizarre off the field distractions (Orange Carpet, Club Liv, Jimmy Buffett), failed coaching changes, public relations lies (see prior statement) and other management miscues which have turned the NFL's formerly winningest franchise into the laughing stock of the league, unable to attract even washed up veteran superstars or unproven younger talent. A native of Miami Beach, he also co-owns the Miami Dolphins NFL football franchise with Fergie, Mark Anthony, the Williams sisters and anyone else who would pay down some of his enormous debts for a vanity stake in the team and 95% of Sun Life Stadium.[1] The University of Michigan renamed its business school the Ross School of Business in his honor [2] after receiving a $100 million gift from Ross.[3].
My neighbor (the dolphins fan) is freaking out about Bell being let go. Seriously, only jests fans deserve to go through this much crap.
He said Bell is the best DB on Miami and a big reason why the D was so good. Belichik will grab him instantly and that seriously would be huge the Pats.
Uhh...shouldn't the Pats be all over this? Seems like the veteran stop-gap needed right now.
We need somebody to play beside Chung who excells in coverage, so that some of last year's
long completions become incompletions or - better still - interceptions.
Exactly. Sign Bell for 1-2 years and then draft Mark Barron. Then we have 4 serviceable safeties compared to 1 (and only for half a season) last season....
Barron may be the popular choice to be the #1 rated safety in the draft, but there's a lot of doubt about whether he'll be a good NFL player.
Worth a look surely????
The guy sucks. Wouldn't touch him. His overage skills were bad enough and now he has age against him. He's getting slower by the day. Can see why the Dolphins cut him.
No....he sucks....and don't call me Shirley!
I'm not 100% sold on him either, and he may not even be available when we get to 27 anyway.
I think they target someone in the 2nd/3rd round, but of course we're all just guessing when it comes to the draft, so who knows what will happen?
Just consider we had Antwaun Molden, Julian Edelman, Sergio Brown, Josh Barrett, James Ihedigbo in the defensive backfield at points last season.... Bell is a definite improvement on ANY of the players I listed
Barron may be the popular choice to be the #1 rated safety in the draft, but there's a lot of doubt about whether he'll be a good NFL player.
They should be all over it if they want a backup to Chung who can't cover. But we already have Ihedigbo.Uhh...shouldn't the Pats be all over this? Seems like the veteran stop-gap needed right now.
I mentioned this in another post, but I have a better idea for a Safety that BB has been wanting to try for years. The Hybrid S/LB. The best cover guy for a LB in the Draft is Zack Brown. He is now your starting Safety. He is 6'1" and 232lbs. He is on the UNC 60 meter track team and broke the school record.He was hand timed at 4.29 in the 40 which makes him the fastest dude on our roster. His best attribute in this Draft is said to be his coverage. He can rush and plays sideline to sideline.
This is the kind of mad scientist, Houdini now ya see um, now ya don't type of BB experiment that changes the game a bit like the double TE play. It could change the game. He will not be undersized to cover bigger TE and he plays the ball well. Ball skills, flips his hips, pursuit skills and elite speed. I am guessing trow in he has outstanding pass rush ability and although he ain't Ed Reed Cousins, he would be fun to watch.
Multidimensional. The BB buzz word.
