MiamiDolphins.com reports Miami Dolphins head coach Nick Saban discussed free agent OT Kyle Turley's (Rams) move to the tight end position. Saban said, "I think that first off, you're talking about a guy who was an offensive tackle who's strength as a tight end is probably going to be his ability to block, if anything translates from the former player he was to the player that he might be now, even though it's at a different position and a little different body type relative to the weight that he's lost." He added, "But what we have been pretty pleased with is, even though I'm not ready to compare him to (Kellen) Winslow or anybody like that, he has shown a decent capacity to develop some concept of understanding in the passing game. And even though he's probably not a mismatch player when it comes to that, he's certainly been able to catch the ball with some consistency so that he may be able to develop into an all-around, on the line kind of tight end guy that we would be hopeful if we decided to take a look at him down the road, he'd be a very good blocker."

"We may have lost the game, but you'll be hurting tomorrow." Doug Atkins
