I wish him the best but expect him to get injured. That is not a jab at him personally...I just have not witnessed anything to the contrary. Some bodies do not hold up to the physicality of pro FB and I suspect his is one. Again, wish him the best and hope I'm wrong for his sake.

He's gonna go off. Nothing motivates like a chip on your shoulder.
That chip may feel like a 1000 lb. I'll be surprised if he impresses in MIA.

Eskridge doesn't impress me as a person who digs deeper when the going gets rough.

I'll predict that he gets sent down to the Dolphins' PS before the 5th game of the season.

We'll see,

Isn't he in dolphin's training camp already?

So did he not have enough chips after having been labeled a draft bust here?

Just how good do you think this new chip will make him, beyond what the "not-worth-what-he-cost-in-draft-capital" chip he previously had on his shoulder did? FWIW, that chip didn't get him past ten games active in a sseason, nor past ten catches in a sesason, nor past 64 receiving yards in a season, nor past eight kickoff returns or 225 kickoff-return yards in a season, nor past four rushing attempts in a season (or 59 total rushing yards, with 30 coming on a single attempt).

Please tell us what we should expect from Eskridge based on the difference between this new chip on his shoulder and the old one.

I want to see how good predictive chip-on-the-shoulder-based "analytics" can be.

In other news, the Dolphins made some new promo photos of Eskridge available. Here's one below from that photo shoot. It's said they're in talks for a new one-year deal at $9 per season.

Link to more of the photoshoot below, with notes about new contract. Tua rumored to be taking a pay cut for the team to afford Eskridge. Tua was quoted as saying, "Dee is all about Dolphin football, just like me, shining brightest in the moments when the sunlight is on him. I don't mind helping the team afford him, it's not that much, really, and besides, he'll look great next to my mousepad on my computer desk while I'm playing Madden.

They will unlock Dee.

It is known.
Dee Eskridge is hereby rebranded, "The Glass Dolphin".
He's got work to do to earn it, so he'd best get busy ripping hammies and tweaking ankles, his own of course.

I was just talking about the Dolphins-Seahawks game. You just took it and ran with it.

Good for him. I hope he does well. People take this stuff way too personal, imo. It just didn't work out here in Seattle. Go do your thing Dee. Just not in week 3 :)
Well said, especially the week 3 part haha
