Dolphins Sign Dobbins To Two Year Deal

The Miami Dolphins have signed LB Tim Dobbins to a 2 year contract extension.  The so-called “throw in” from the Dolphins trade with San Diego during the draft is expected to be anything but. Dobbins fell out of favors in San Diego and as the old adage goes, “one mans trash is another man’s treasure”.  Just ask my 6 year old son who pilfered a perfectly...

Chargers Take Donald Butler With 79th Selection

I had a feeling the Chargers would trade up in the second or third round, and they did not disappoint. Donald Butler will be a fine replacement for Tim Dobbins, who was traded to the Miami Dolphins in a deal that gave us the 12th overall pick. The 2009 Second Team All-Pac-10 interior linebacker is a lot more than just a replacement. The way he attacks the running back will help...

Miami Dolphins: A talk with Tim Dobbins

Tim Dobbins hasn’t practiced since injuring his right ankle on Monday night, and that probably means we won’t see the inside linebacker make his Miami Dolphins debut until the second preseason game at the earliest. That leaves a window of opportunity for a pair of seventh-round picks at inside linebacker: J.D. Folsom (2009) and Austin Spitler (2010). Considering the Dolphins...
