Fixed. If it wasn't for the Utah stint he wouldn't have landed the Florida gig.

Yeah, cause he did absolutely nothing with teams like Bowling Green and Utah...
Tebow got him over the hump.
They also released the following 13 players, getting the roster to 61 in advance of tomorrows deadline to reach 53: Defensive tackle David Carter, safety Jonathon Amaya, guard Chilo Rachal, safety Curtis Taylor, wide receiver Mike Thomas, wide receiver Charles Hawkins, center Adam Bice, wide receiver Dan Buckner, tight end Alex Gottlieb, guard Senio Kelemete, linebacker Zack Nash, linebacker Colin Parker and tight end Richard Quinn.
On the Sunday morning after Miamis recent preseason game against the Houston Texans, Dolphins coach Joe Philbin pulled his players into the team's main auditorium and started a meeting by projecting a play onto the big screen in the front of the room.
The play has since drawn national headlines: Texans defensive end Antonio Smith, apparently antagonized by Incognitos relentless needling, ripped off Incognitos helmet and swung it at his head.
This is how you respond to this situation, said Philbin, rewinding and replaying the moment over and over to show Incognitos passive reaction. We have to keep our composure and not retaliate.
Multiple players say Philbin was fired up during that meeting, proud of Incognito and center Mike Pouncey for walking away from a provocative situation that later resulted in a three-game suspension for Smith.
In a watershed sense, this was validation of Incognitos turnaround: He walked away from something that, in the past, would have surely sucked him in.
And yet, in 2012, three seasons after the Sporting News gave him that distinction, Incognito's peers voted him into his first Pro Bowl. He also received a share of the "Good Guy" award -- splitting it with Reggie Bush -- given to the Dolphins' most cooperative player, as voted on by members of the local media. Since 2010, he has committed just two unnecessary roughness penalties -- tied for 19th with 37 other players.
"I'm definitely not a choir boy," Incognito said. "You know, I'm definitely not healed, and I'm not saying that I don't make mistakes. But from where I was to where I am now, I mean, it's night and day. And it's something that, you know, I hope people can respect about me."
"I made a lot of mistakes," Incognito said. "I made a ton of mistakes. And I was really hard on myself, and I've learned from them. I've used those mistakes to motivate me and to take me to new heights."

At least there are still some role models left in the NFL.
It's like you can tell who's going to be cut just by their name.Cards cut 13:
Why did Clark get banned?
And was he really SNES?
edit: don't answer the 2nd question if it will get him in trouble assuming he is coming back.

NFL: #Bengals DE DeQuin Evans is suspended 8 games for violation of NFL's performing-enhancing substances policy.
He was suspended before in 2011 too.For those watching Hard Knocks:
Bubble player from Compton who talked about being a single mom, raising kids with no food is harder than playing football. Then went on to suck in the preseason game this past episode. Easy cut for the Bengals.
Yeah thats what I remember from the whole thing as well. He didn't see to be into games as much as SNES.Snes says on Twitter it's really not him this time. I don't know.

They placed their first rounder Jonathan Cooper on IR ending his season. Tough loss for them.
Yeah thats what I remember from the whole thing as well. He didn't see to be into games as much as SNES.
Also only 6 days until real football. Gonna be sooooooo good (or bad). Can't wait.
Happened during the Chargers game, homey.Wow. Is this something new? I didn't see anything in the news about Cooper being hurt.
This is a huge loss for them.

#Bills and C Eric Wood have reached a deal on a contract extension, I'm told. Should have numbers soon...
Ryan Mallett's performance last night is drawing rave reviews around the NFL. "Poised in his progressions" and manipulated the S on Boyce TD... While his bad throws get alot of attention. The word around the league is Ryan Mallett has improved his stock with his preseason performance
Leinart got cut by the Bills.

Giants are the same way. They hadn't even started personnel meetings until later this afternoon from what I was reading. Likely won't hear cuts until Sat/Sun.Steelers are so damn infuriating. They will wait until Saturday to announce cuts.

No doubt looking for depth on the waiver wire at Tackle and Tight End. Jake Ballard here we come!

Ed Reed is coming off PUP. Kubiak said he'll make a decision about whether Reed will play early next week. #Texans
Michael Vick has accomplished much since his release from prison four years ago.
He is now ready to scratch another goal off his list: He will soon emerge from bankruptcy, having made arrangements to pay back the last of nearly $20 million in debts to dozens of creditors.
It is an unusual accomplishment in bankruptcy circles to fully repay debts in a Chapter 11 case, according to legal experts, and Vicks case was anything but usual.
The Newport News native and starting Philadelphia Eagles quarterback spoke to The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk this week from training camp. He said he was looking forward to finally putting an end to the last chapter of a period of his life that he remains contrite about.
It was a problem life dealt me, he said of having to file for bankruptcy before heading off to prison for his federal dog-fighting conviction. His case is pending in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Norfolk.
The most important thing to me was just to get myself back to doing what I love to do: play football, he said. I was blessed to be able to come out of prison and get my body in shape to play.
Vicks bankruptcy case will end in the coming months despite his having to restructure his contract with the Eagles, a deal that shaved millions from his income.
Hes due to make a minimum of $7 million as starting quarterback. He also renewed an endorsement deal with Nike for an undisclosed sum and has other endorsement income as well.
You cant take something from somebody and not replace it, Vick said.
I had obligations and responsibilities that I had to take care of. Through the success Ive had over the last four years, I could take care of those issues.
It was one of my goals, he added.
Holy shoot I got the job.
Im gonna have health insurance! And a reliable income!
Great news! Enjoy.
Congrats on not being poor anymore!Holy shoot I got the job.

No news on Dolphin cuts yet huh? I'm not expecting very many surprises, if anything keeping Delvin would be pretty surprising.
Glad BLarry and Ravens Age had me prepared. Texans fans were losing their shit about reed and I kept telling them "Ed being Ed". Tip of the hat.
