Miami Dolphins
It's been a busy offseason for Miami. The Dolphins have had two offensive coordinators because Joel Collier, promoted to the position after Norv Turner left to be head coach of the Raiders, had his duties scaled down citing health concerns. That made Chris Foerster, who was hired to be the team's tight ends coach, the new offensive coordinator. The team also acquired quarterback A.J. Feeley from Philadelphia and receiver David Boston from San Diego to boost a slumping pass offense. If Feeley plays like he did in 2002 and Boston racks up the receptions like he did in 2003, the Dolphins could be scoring a lot more than the 19.4 points per game they had last year. The key might be their offensive line, which has been reshuffled thanks to three free agents signing and the top draft pick being spent on lineman Vernon Carey. Defensively, the 'Fins need Adewale Ogunleye back in camp so he can contribute. If that's done, and if Jason Taylor can produce along the line, the defense should be tough to beat. The schedule finally favors the Dolphins as they have road games in Buffalo and New England in October, not December. However, they do face back-to-back road games at Seattle and at San Francisco, and the games sandwich Thanksgiving, which means either a lot of flying or a week displaced out West away from their families.
