This way-too-early projection has him making the cut:

This article has him as the seventh LB:

Since they will most likely only keep six linebackers, he'll need to move up.

"Growing up in Ohio, Poling didn’t have to deal with... humid summers."

The writer of this story has never been to Cincinnati during the dog days of summer.

I think he ended up with a good team in terms of a place to make a squad, but even if he does not make the dolphins I see him making it somewhere. He has the physical and mental attributes to compete. If he makes a roster it may be my first and possibly last NFL Jersey purchase, even if its a custom job.

I grew up in Southwest Ohio and lived in South Florida (Miami-Dade) for a year. Southeast florida humidity is much worse than Cincinnati's...largely because if you're not literally standing on the beach, you get to experience those Cincinnati-dog-days conditions from about May 1st until November 1st.

I lived in DC, which has its own intolerable humidity especially during July and August. I went to Jacksonville in November for a conference and the humidity nearly knocked me over. Florida's humidity is truly in a league of its own.

Girl I went to O.U. with got a job offer in Houston.

She went there in late March.

Left the terminal.

90 deg. with about the same humidity.

She got told that this weather wasn't bad.
You should see the summer.
In fact, she was told that any car sold in Houston must have A/C.

Called the hospital where she was going to the interview and said thanks,but no thanks.
Got on the next flight back to Cleveland.

My late wife Lynne was a southerner, born in Pine Bluff, ARK. She was living in Marietta, GA when we met at OU.

On my first visit to Pine Bluff when we still were boyfriend/girlfriend, a barbecue was taking place on the patio behind her grandma's house. It was a sweltering day and typical of the south in summer. Someone took a photo that, for a particular reason, was memorable: It shows an oscillating fan someone had set on a low wall just to stir the air.

Whereas we in the north speak of the wind-chill factor, in the south they talk of the humidex.

In GA last week, on consecutive mornings I talk hour-long walks. The humidity ranged from 96% to 98%.

Once in Singapore I took an early morning walk from my hotel to the Singapore River to take a photo of a memorial to Lim Bo Seng, a WWII hero. When I opened the lens cover, the lens fogged.

I spent a month in South Florida every summer to visit my grandparents. I've been in Mississippi and Alabama in August. I understand the difference.

The story didn't say he never experienced humidity akin to Florida in the summer. It said he's never experienced humid summers.

"Growing up in Ohio, Poling didn’t have to deal with wet and humid summers."

When you're writing a story, you specify that he hasn't experienced training IN FLORIDA heat. You don't say he's never experienced heat.

This was a beat reporter not asking good enough questions to find a story in the dead of summer and so went with the most hackneyed angle possible: young player from the north/small program dealing with speed of the game/ heat.

Sorry, this writer pissed me off with the shot at the Ohio program in the lede and the southerner's ridiculous cliche about northerers in heat that's as ridiculous as northerners claiming sourtherners can't play in cold.

Imagine that lede being written about Khalil Mack a couple years ago.

The reason these practices and the speed of the game is so much different is not because Quentin Poling played at Ohio. It's because he went from college to the NFL. Every player experiences that.

Spent three years laying asphalt in Central Florida in the summers in college, you guys all sound so soft. It’s hot, but it’s not that bad.

Houston has been called, accurately, I believe, “the city that air conditioning built.”

I see Poling tied for the lead in tackles in preseason game one (espn) as a good sign: to make 5 tackles you gotta be getting that opportunity to show and doing some showing. Great representative of Ohio football.

Another player in a battle to make the roster is Poling. He spent last year on the practice squad. This depth chart has him as third string:
https://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-dolphins/fl-sp-...

This early projection has him not quite making the final roster:
