They lose Kevin Carter though, i think he was a solid part of our pass rush. Not to mention we still have done nothing to solidify our terrible secondary, although Bell the ENTIRE season should be better.
Kevin Carter wasn't worth what we were paying him. Sure he had an OK season, but so did Matt Roth he's young, talented and hungry ready to take over a starting roll. How many DE's do we need?
Terrible secondary?? You mean the secondary that finished 4th overall in the league last year?? Lets not forget our Defense was stout against the run so teams didn't simply run the ball down our throat padding the secondary stats. We had a fantastic front 7 the put a lot of pressure on the QB ofcourse that will help the secondary a lot, but that's the case in most top Defenses.
We're fast and very good at run defense in the secondary. Our only problem last year was creating turnovers, but how much of that problem was due to Sabans complex defense? Remember the DB's have been quoted on more then one occasion saying Saban's Defensive schemes made it tough to use your instiuncts because they were thinking so much. This is all Dom Capers D this year no more Saban and expecting perfection from every position.
Lets face it.
First year HC and staff
No QB right now
New offensive system takes year to implement, second year to execute
Unsettled O Line, including LT
Same slow WR until Ginn breaks line up but then he is a rookie
This is just evidence the our phins are indeed rebuilding. It will take 1 or 2 more drafts to catch up to New England, San Diego, Colts, Denver and others.
I would be happy with a 9-7 season.
Kevin Carter has consistently been one of the solid defensive players in the NFL. He may not have been worth the salary he was getting at his age, but his loss will be noted i will guarantee you that.
Our secondary IS terrible. The fact that we sacked the QB 47 times and hurried them many others made it ranked high, but everyone on this forum knows how we struggled in the defensive backfield and again COULD NOT CREATE TURNOVERS like you said.
Matt Roth has proven nothing.....I think he will prove to be a good player, but i cant say he's of equal value to someone as solid as Kevin Carter. Honestly i dont see how our pass rush will be as good as it was the last two seasons.
IMO 5-11 would be a miracle given the slop that the dolphins call a roster right now.
You have no offensive line or QB. Ronnie Brown is still a bust, Chambers was a one year wonder, and you lost a solid TE.
On defense all your star players are one year older and slower, and Cam Cameron already proved his incompetance by drafing a 2nd round calibur player in the top 10.
Sorry but I see the dolphins picking #1 overall in 2008.
have sum faith people i think we may suprise this year... in previous years we have been thought of as the team to beat and we choked... now that we are believed to choke we may open sum eyez

Right now IMO your team is a 6-10 team at worst. Couple of them losses will be close though and could go either way so I would have to guess RIGHT now you are 8-8 team at best and 6-10 at worst.
obviously I reserve the right to change that as the off season progresses
