G-Force said:We run the ball alot and play great D. Thats what I would do anyway. We have Ronnie and maybe Ricky and Linehan was pass happy and underutilized the two last year during our losses especially. Mularky will run as he showed in Pitt and that is not mentioned nearly enough IMO. I think our running game should be our bread and butter Pepper or not. We picked up Beasley at FB and LJ Shelton who is known as a great rb tackle but not to good at run blocking. Then we signed a great pass blocking TE in Justin Peele. So from what we have done I think alot of people are focussing on the passing too much.
I think alot of people are buying into Pep being the key the team needs to get over the hump. And maybe he is; the QB play there has been pretty pathetic at times as of late. But Ricky is facing suspension and his contributions last year were pretty good. If he takes a year off (or more) and Pep has to ride pine, you have a couple of pretty big offensive holes to fill.
The ground game coupled with your defense may be just good enough to get the AFCE, but it won't make it to the AFC Championship game. But I am starting to think most Dolphin fans are just hoping for improvement and not setting sights on the Lombardi this year.
Bottom line though: With having similar schedules, similar coaching philosophies, and plenty of talent, and assuming Pep plays early and well....I don;t see the Fins walking easily into the division win. Not as spread as 12-4 and the next being 9-7
