lol he runs a 4.5 40 and he's big, but he was waived, why?

Pretty impressive to start the first 5 games then end up being cut. That's quick turnaround.

Dolphins claimed WR Armon Binns off waivers from the Bengals.Binns was waived by the Bengals on Saturday. Although Binns went from starting five of the Bengals' first six games to on the street in less than two months, he should get immediate playing time in the Dolphins' unproductive and lead-footed receiver corps. However, he's not a threat to come into any value during the final two weeks of the fantasy playoffs. A second-year UDFA, Binns is still only 23 years old.

"Great guy, great attitude. Unfortunately I think his nickname should be Siamese......couldn't get separation."

"Binns wasnt that good, couldnt seperate, and couldnt get good position to make a catch."

"I sense some tension. More tension than Binns feels when running routes because he can never get seperation"

Dolphins claim WR Armon Binns

Dolphins claimed WR Armon Binns off waivers from the Bengals.

Binns was waived by the Bengals on Saturday. Although Binns went from starting five of the Bengals' first six games to on the street in less than two months, he should get immediate playing time in the Dolphins' unproductive and lead-footed receiver corps. However, he's not a threat to come into any value during the final two weeks of the fantasy playoffs. A second-year UDFA, Binns is still only 23 years old.

Overview
Binns has the frame, speed, and sticky hands required to become a starting NFL wide receiver. Additionally, awareness and ball skills will allow him to provide excellent depth as he matures in a starting role. Doesn't idle down when breaking as a route-runner and recognizes zone schemes but does not possess great explosiveness off the line or out of his breaks. Has some of the better hands in this class. Makes a lot of plays snatches balls out along the rim of his catch radius. Big play potential is there. Effort needs to be a littler more consistent. Binns is a Day 2 prospect.

Strengths
Binns has an above-average combination of size and speed. Doesn't lose speed at top of stem or in and out of his breaks. Capable of locating soft spots in zone coverage. Displays excellent hands. Plucks and snatches away from his frame and can make the tough catches; over-the-shoulder, poorly thrown balls, etc. Tough.

Weaknesses
Lacks great acceleration and burst and does not explode off the line or quickly eat up cushions. Can be disrupted by press coverage at the line. May have a more difficult time separating against man in the NFL. Sometimes runs at less than 100 percent when not primary receiver. Run-blocking effort is inconsistent.

So he's another Roberto Wallace. Nice size/speed combo, but lacks ability to create seperation. Great!

Haha I was actually thinking the same thing when I was reading up on what other fans thought of him.

Ankle Weight Armon?

Pretty impressive to start the first 5 games then end up being cut. That's quick turnaround.

He needs more talent around him...lol I couldn't resist.

It sounds like it wasn't a drop off in performance that cost him his spot. Rather it was the play of the other guys on their roster.

Ya, ya, ya ..... same story I heard about Anthony Armstrong.
He got cut because he wasn't "cutting it". Pure and simple. It's not like Cincy is loaded with talent at the WR core. They've unsuccessfully been trying to solidify the No.2 spot next to AJ Green. He's been carrying them the vast majority of the time.

LOL , Rock - you saying Binns isn't a steal of a pickup & wont put us over the top? I shouldn't go out & buy a Binns jersey. It could hang next to my Artis Hicks jersey.

The sad thing is most media outlets seem to think he's an upgrade for us. Since we truly don't have a 3rd receiver at this point in the season it's basically going to be Matthews, Moore, and Binns battling it out for playing time across from Hartline. If this kid is able to see the field this week it will be very telling about the rest of the receivers on our roster.

Where is 7-11?

2 guys who in 13 games have combined for 5 catches, a warm body is almost an upgrade from that..

Nothing sad about it really, except we are dolphins fans.. Its a reality, and if there are not big red whistels going off in Ross's head hes as dumb as dirt.. Ireland blew it on this one, start a rookie and only give him 2 WR's? Its suicide...

If Philbin was ok with Irelands moves he can go to for all I care...
"High Powered Offense" yeah right...

Ireland has already came out and said that getting Tannehill that top tier wideout is a top priority. I think he'll stick to his word and find some legitimate outside targets for Tannehill.

I definitely agree with you, but I think I lost my faith in him at this point.

its enough that its PC here (to a select few) to kiss Tannehills butt as he seems to have garnered that Shula / Marino status to some but anyone calling Ireland out is in good standing.

I had Ireland back, he has just lost me this season, and its primarily the Marshall trade. Had he found 1 player to contribute I could have dealt with it. But a person would have to either have no clue about football, or just blind to not see there is a problem with having 3 WR's combine for 2300 yards one year, trade the one guy that had 1200 of them and expect the other two to carry the weight.. Just not good management. Tannehill is still going to have close to same passing yards to bess and hartline as moore did to all three, so tell me whats that mean if Marshall is still here? Maybe we are not such a glum lot arguing over a couple bad plays each week

I think I really expected a lot less from RT this season, given his limited college exp, new staff introducing a new offense. I just expected a rough year and maybe 5 - 6 wins..


I guess its also PC to a select few to expect Philbin/Tannehill to be just like Shula/Marino, and since we are not 12-4 heading into the post season his rookie year like they did we have failed and Tannehill is not the answer... Its a double edged sword really.

"He's a guy that we had our eye on [and] thought he might be able to add something to the group and we'll see how that goes," coach Joe Philbin said.

"It's a West Coast offense, so it's a lot of the same terminology. Maybe a few techniques are a little bit different, but it shouldn't be too hard to pick up," Binns said. "Different language, different signals. A lot of it is building that memory and getting used to seeing different things, then going out there and executing."

..... and here I thought he'd say he played like crap in Cincy and will take a long time to pick up the offense in Miami.

"That's kind of how football is," said Binns, who started six games and caught 18 passes for 210 yards and one touchdown before the Bengals released him Saturday to make room for an extra kicker. "You've got to make the best of your opportunities."

The Bengals waived Binns after practice with the intent of re-signing him Monday. But the Dolphins and Patriots claimed the 6-foot-3, 210-pound receiver with sub.-4.5 speed. Miami was awarded Binns because they have a worse record.

Sounds like the Bengals took a gamble and lost a receiver. Contrary to earlier reports.

Can we please stop finding ways to pump these bottom of the roster guys? I mean really.

Stop being so narrow minded!!! You know darn well our starting 3 WRs should be R. Wallace, Pruitt and Hogan.
