Sorry if this was already posted, but i was looking at espn.com, and i ran across an article by John Clayton on 5 teams that could be very surprising in 2008, the Dolphins were listed as one of them.


4. Miami Dolphins: The Dolphins have all the makings of a team that should make a dramatic jump. Their .512 schedule should play out a little easier than expected. Technically, the Dolphins play the easiest schedule in the AFC East, and the tougher schedules played by the Patriots, Jets and Bills should drag down the overall record of their opponents. Miami's non-common opponents are the Raiders and Texans, both winnable games. Most of the Dolphins' tough games are at home. Just going off schedule adjustments, Miami could end up with a .477 schedule, which could make it one of the easiest in the AFC. The move to get Trent Green should push the Dolphins over 20 points a game, which puts them in range for a dramatic improvement. RB Ronnie Brown should have his best year working with Cam Cameron. Despite advancing age, the Dolphins ranked No. 8 in overall defense last season. What the Dolphins can't do is get lured into thinking they've totally turned everything around. Next year, they play the AFC West and NFC West, which should make for a tough 2008 season.
 
Good article, but I do have 1 question. Will Ted Ginn be the #2 or #3 reciever or what?

i think Chambers will be number 1, Booker will stay at 2, and Ginn will be the 3rd as a slot reciever like welker was last year.
 
".512 schedule ... .477 schedule."

Hate to sound like a rookie but what the hell does that mean?

The numbers reflect the combined winning percentages of the Dolphins' 2007 opponents based on their respective 2006 final records.

By the way, I think this is all about the 2007 season and not the 2008 season :wink:
 
I have a very good feeling that by the BYE week, team's will have started taking notice of us. The schedule is so soft that it's imparative we are at least 5-3 heading into the BYE to gear up for our treacherous 2nd half schedule.
 
Ginn will play the slot and have screens, crossing patterns, and just streak down field

Im personally thinking Hagan should be stepping up this season and the 2nd spot is his for the taking.
