-81- McMichael
Active Roster
Offense this, offense that... blah, blah, blah!
Here's one for you:
Miami finished last year with the 15th ranked offense, right?
So who finished with the 24th ranked offense?
Same team that, out of last year's 12 playoff contenders, had the lowest ranked offense? Hmmm...
Oh, yeah! How about that! The Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Bucs! Imagine that!
I wish people would get off our offense and look at reality.
- First and foremost, we had the NFL's leading rusher. That's special, dammit. Remember the last time we had that. No? Didn't think so.
- Also, we were ONLY in our first year with Norv's offense. ANYBODY in the NFL will tell you that's a factor (not in your favor).
- We had major injuries to key offensive players. Enough said.
- Our backups at QB and WR were inadequate (and I'm being really polite here).
This year... everybody should be A LOT more comfortable with what Norv's trying to do here.
This year... Ricky's going to play more downs (that's just scary - to the opposing team, methinks).
This year... our o-line is (so far - knock on wood) healthier than last year.
This year... we do NOT have Lucas at backup QB. (BEST off-season move, IMHO - even over Jr.). In turn, we should be getting Griese. Solid backup.
This year... WR looks like it should be vastly improved, including backups.
Finally, this year... we were smart enought to resign Konrad, and McMichael will have a year's worth of NFL experience under his belt.
Don't know about everybody else, but I see PLENTY of reason for optomism.
All the nay-sayers can just kiss my :booty:
GO'PHINS! :rocker:
