Griz90 said:The Dolphins' northwest area scout has a lot of pull in the organization and makes sure the team is up to speed on all things Griz. The Dolphins have had good results with their Griz players citing a strong work ethic and lunch pail mentality as reasons to keep bringing in UM players. There is a new GM in Miami but our scout is still there and he loves the Griz. I am one happy Griz and Dolphins fan! I feel strongly Jordan will not only make the 53-man roster but will contribute as a special teams demon and will get significant playing time with a real chance to earn a spot as a starter in his first or second year.

Congrats Jordan! Happy for you. Now let's hope Coyle gets snagged too!

Miami with a sense of humor. Their very next pick was the WR out of Coastal Carolina, Matt Hazel. :lol:
Griz90 said:Miami newspaper reporters have reacted very positively to Jordan Tripp's selection by the Dolphins. Sun-Sentinel columnist Omar Kelly's reaction was "I LOVE IT" and called it his second-favorite pick of the Dolphins' draft. All the other reporters have chimed in with positive feedback for the pick as well, predicting immediate impact as a special teams player and a strong push for playing time as the only middle linebacker on the roster other than starter Dannell Ellerbe. Two writers suggested Ellerbe move outside and put Tripp in the middle for an immediate upgrade to the overall linebacker corp. One writer suggested Tripp may compete at OLB. (I think he plays MLB for the fins.) Usuallly the beat writers are pretty tough on the Dolphins but Jordan is being received very well. I think part of that is a testament to the Griz brand in Miami due to the recent success of players, such as Tuff Harris, Lex Hilliard, Dan Carpenter and Jimmy Wilson and the all-time Griz/Dolphin great, former Defensive NFL MVP Doug Betters. The Fins love their Griz!

Yeah, I had the same reaction. I wonder if they (the Dolphins) go the irony? :lol:

Yep, bummer. Kind of an odd year for ILBs. Free Agent pickup for sure - that should just motivate him even more.
I see on Twitter the Packers are going to be pressing hard to sign NDSU's QB as a free agent.

Coyle is a stud and should have been drafted. It will be interesting to see if Tripp can make a 52 though, should be able to make the practice squad. I congratulate him in working hard and being drafted, just didn't like him after he ran by myself and kids flipping us all off.AZGrizFan said:BWahlberg said:AZGrizFan said:Coyle running out of chances...

Don't get how a bunch of LB's who ran low 5's on their 40's get drafted and Coyle doesn't....

Is that the scout that lives in Boise; Adam Engroff?

Well luckily for Tripp it's 53 men but I'm sure if you called and told them and told them how poorly he treats Bobcat fans, I'm sure they'll cut him right away.grizhunter said:Coyle is a stud and should have been drafted.

I know you are joking but a player of his caliber shouldn't be doing that in front of any children or adults, makes him look like a punk ass, which we know he is not. The general public doesn't know that he is a good kid, too bad really.PeauxRouge said:grizhunter said:Coyle is a stud and should have been drafted.

Come on, you're a cat fan, you should be used to that by now. What do you expect!?
