The Dolphins have claimed 6’4″, 310 pound guard Andy Alleman from the Saints. He didn’t play a down as a rookie last season for the Saints. Alleman did play in all 4 preseason games for the Saints this season. This was a nice low risk/high reward move for the Dolphins as the Saints thought enough of him to draft him highly last year.
I don’t think the Dolphins improved enough in the offseason to take the over so the play is under. The Dolphins are on the right track but I don’t see any way that they can improve 5 games over 2007. It’s going to be another long year for the Dolphins but they will at least keep the games closer this season.
The Miami Dolphins have claimed WR Brandon London off waivers from the Giants. London is a big guy at 6’4″, 210 pounds and he played well in the preseason for the Giants. He caught 7 passes for 86 yards (12.3 avg) in the preseason for the Giants. London has landed in the right place to get a legit shot at the NFL as the Fins appear weak at WR behind Ted Ginn Jr.
The Dolphins have traded QB Josh McCown to the Panthers for a future draft pick. McCown only played in 1 game this preseason for the Dolphins and he completed 5 of 8 passes (62.5%) for 35 yards with 0 TDs and 0 INTs (72.4 QB Rating). John Beck will be the #3 QB for the Dolphins this season with McCown out of town. Beck played in 3 games (1 start) this preseason for the Fins and he completed 7 of 11 (63.6%) for 62 yards with 0 TD passes and 0 interceptions (78.6 QB Rating). The Dolphins made a good move here getting a draft pick for a player they were about to cut.
The Dolphins have released fullback Reagan Mauia. Mauia played in all 4 preseason games for the Dolphins this season and he caught 1 pass for 9 yards while not carrying the football. Mauia will be replaced as the starting fullback by converted linebacker Boomer Grigsby who didn’t touch the football in the preseason. Grigsby main role will be blocking in the running game and he will likely do a decent job of it.
The Dolphins have released safety Keith Davis. Davis had 7 tackles in the preseason for the Dolphins. This is actually a good sign for the Dolphins’ defense as Davis was nothing more than a backup in his career to this point.
