Dolphins sign former Georgia standout Moses
Click-2-Listen

Tuesday, October 23, 2007
The winless Dolphins on Tuesday signed defensive end Quentin Moses, the 65th overall selection in this year's draft, in hopes of shoring up their patchwork line heading into Sunday's game against the New York Giants in London.
The Oakland Raiders selected Moses, an All-SEC performer from Georgia, in the third round but released him in September, the same day they cut veteran safety Donovin Darius. Darius later joined the Dolphins, who dropped him last week.
After leaving the Raiders, Moses (6-foot-5 and 261 pounds) was snatched up immediately by the Arizona Cardinals, but they cut him Oct. 16.
"He has a chance to be an excellent pass rusher," Cardinals GM Rod Graves told the Arizona Republic at the time of his signing. "When you have a guy like that who has that kind of frame, athletic ability, speed, you have to be patient and work with those kids."
Wanted to bring this guy in and even Arizona knew he could be good but when you don't have time to mold someone and need talent it's hard to keep a guy when you don't have anything invested in him and he is expendable.

I'm sure if Phil thought this guy was worth anything, he'd have pounced on him. Guess he wasn't too impressed.
Two time loser in a slice of a season. Maybe the third time (on a winless team) will be the charm for him.

He has a chance to succeed if teams realize that he is too undersized for a DE. They need to turn him into a pass rushing OLB in the 3-4.
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

exactly... 
He won't be a Dolphin long either... not with Jason Taylor and Joey "I need a Hug" Porter ahead of him...

He might be a very good Dolphin, there is obviously no pressure to play well there.

He was playing LB in Arizona on the PS, and was playing rushing downs only in Oakland at first...
And 250 lbs is small, but look at Freeney, Abraham, Mathis, Little, Tapp, Umenyiora, etc. All around the 250 lbs range.
And it doesn't matter. He's never making it in the NFL.

I think the guy on D that Phil wanted the most was Elvis Dummervil but, the Broncos got him as we had to address some crucial O needs first. JMHO
