Chris Colston's NFL Report in USA Todays weekly edition

[MiaFins1]

He writes a report on all 8 divisions..... I will only write what he says about the Fins.................... Miami won 10 games two years ago. Last year the Dolphins lost a bunch of close games. And now they have the second coming of Bill Belichick in coach Nick Saban--at least that's what everybody says. Running back Ronnie Brown, who is my early pick for Rookie of the year, will make everybody forget about Ricky Williams. And for a team in dire need of a big nose tackle to anchor their new 3-4 defense,Miami showed remarkable restraint in waiting until the fifth round of the July 14 supplemental draft to select SC defensive tackle Manual Wright. What a bargain: He's a guy with potential 1st round talent and he's huge( 6-5, 329 )The biggest question is at QB, where two career backups, A.J Feeley and Gus Freotte, will battle it out. Thats the only thing keeping me from picking Miami first.....His AFC East Predicted order: New England....Miami .....Jets ....Bills

Yet, it is still amazing at how little the press knows about Miami. Once again, there is mention of the Dolphins going to a 3-4 defense, which is absolutely not the case at all.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Maybe he was just talking about the 20% of snaps we are going to be in the 3-4.

About time we got some good press.

its nice to see. but i have to disagree with him sadly. I don't think we're that close yet. but i will take notice of what team he has listed LAST.

 

[HysterikiLL]

I agree witht hat for the most part. It's good that he looked at our close losses to good teams and our 10 wins 2 seasons ago. I think that proves we're not too far removed from status quo.

However, I do disagree with his feelings on Manuel Wright. "In dire need for a nose tackle" -- Indeed we were but I doubt Manny will get too much playing time this season. If he does, I doubt it will be effective enough to overshadow Keith Traylor and Larry C.

We actually got some love -- Except you know what that means -- Angry, screaming, kicking, whining Jets and Bills fans (moreso).

Isn't that phrase redundant?

I like that he really looked at our team and did not just assume at 4-12 there was no talent here. we all know most of the problem last year was direction and orginzation, and saban will give us that, so we should return to a 10 win team!
