Re: Saints Trade LB Stephone Anthony to Dolphins
I think I remember reading or hearing that he played both inside and outside at Florida. Can't guarantee it though.

Re: Saints Trade LB Stephone Anthony to Dolphins
I heard something interesting about the Anthony trade yesterday on NFL Radio. They said that Joe Vitt was most likely very instrumental in the Dolphins desire to trade for him. It turns out that Vitt is an "unofficial consultant" for the Dolphins now. They even used the verbal air quotes. I had forgotten that Vitt is Miami head coach Adam Gase's father-in-law. The Dolphins were just forced to suspend starting LB Laurence Timmons for unknown reasons (he disappeared from the team hotel and they even put out a missing persons report on him). They were already very short-handed at LB and desperate. Apparently, Vitt may have lobbied for Anthony because he was the one that wanted him to be drafted.

A lot was made about his tackles being down the field, but the guy was the first Saints rookie in over a decade to log over 100 tackles. They then brought Laurinitus in and stunted Anthony's growth by trying to move him outside, where he barely got 1 snap a game. They should have stuck with him, I think Miami will turn him into a stud. |
