Sun, 01 Nov 2009 13:09:58 -0500

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - The Dolphins' final game in The Meadowlands could get them back into the AFC East or basically end their season. Miami (2-4) will be looking to sweep the Jets, who lost 31-27 on Oct. 12 in South Florida. A little brisker conditions here, 55 degrees with 9 mph ...

Darren Sharper, not Gibril Wilson, could have been Dolphins’ free safety

The Dolphins weren't the only team that thought free safety Darren Sharper's best days were behind him. But not every team made the decision to sign Gibril Wilson to a major deal, either. While Wilson has struggled to make plays, Sharper is in the running for NFL Defensive Player of the Year ...

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 22:31:10 -0500

The Miami Herald talks today about the decision to possibly bench Gibril Wilson: The Dolphins believe it’s premature to bench Gibril Wilson after giving him a five-year, $27.5 million deal but there have been coverage breakdowns and the missed tackle on Indianapolis’ opening-play touchdown.

Ted Ginn: Gotta Make That Catch, Buddy

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 08:15:59 -0500

We could have selected safety Gibril Wilson, who must have failed geometry, because he doesn’t know jack about taking a good angle to the football. If Wilson had a clue, there’s no way Pierre Garcon should have scored on this play with three minutes left (Wilson is No. 28). QB Chad Pennington and coach Tony [...]

A Punch To The Stomach. A Glimmer of Hope.

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 23:43:56 -0500

That hurt. A lot. We know. Clearly, the 'bend but don't break' defense of last year is not applicable to this year. Gibril Wilson is incapable of finding good tackling angles. Akin Ayodele was beat soundly. Yeremiah Bell was exposed as a TE-covering dilettante. I get all that. That's as close as I've ever felt to being a Buffalo fan and I never ever want to experience that again. But there was a glimmer of hope there. There was a sign of some identity on offen...

Desperately seeking a safety

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 14:58:16 -0500

Since 1995, no less than 30 men have suited up in the Silver and Black as the last line of defense. The revolving door of Raider safeties is so large that it stretches from the Coliseum in Los Angeles to the Coliseum in Oakland. The 2008 season saw the unraveling yarn of the lineage of Raider safeties finally come to its core. Gibril Wilson was brought in from the world champion New York Giants and was expected to be a fixture at safety for the next six years. He lasted but one year having be...

Asante Samuel to Sign with Saints

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 22:41:31 -0500

According to ProFootballTalk.com, Asante Samuel has agreed to a deal with the New Orleans Saints. The Saints and Samuel have reportedly verbally agreed to a deal that would pay Samuel the 10 million dollars plus per year that he wants. The former Patriot, who the Eagles have been rumored to be interested in, can't officially sign a contract with the Saints until free agency begins in a few days, so nothing is set in stone.

Anyone surprised the Giants got spanked today at home? It must be really difficult being a professional football team when your players have to deal with strip club owners trying to throw them out of their fine establisment...on a nightly basis. Unbelievable. The Giants deserve to miss the playoffs.
