I was just browsing ESPN.com and i found a funny article talking about the halfway point of the season. And there were alot of mentions of the Miami Dolphins. Here are a few.....
HALFWAY TO MVP: Not to take away from the stats being put up by Clinton Portis, Drew Brees, Andre Johnson and Kurt Warner, but so far this season it seems like a defender should win this award. London Fletcher? Joey Porter? James Harrison? We shall see.
HALF THE CREDIT THEY DESERVE: Carolina fullback Brad Hoover. Colts linebacker Gary Brackett. Redskins 'backer London Fletcher. Dolphins coach Tony Sparano. Tampa's Antonio Bryant. And Jets running back Thomas Jones.
DOING TWICE AS MUCH WITH HALF THE TALENT: Dolphins. Jacksonville. Baltimore. Miami. Atlanta. Chicago. (We were mentioned twice just shows how much we have impressed)
HALF A STEP FASTER: Joey Porter playing as a pass-rushing outside linebacker in Miami's 3-4 instead of the 4-3 the Fins used last season. With 11.5 sacks, he's now halfway to the NFL sack record of 22.5.
HALFWAY TO THE PLAYOFFS: The Miami Dolphins? Their final eight games are against teams that have already lost a combined 40 times.
ONLY HALF JOKING: The Jets, Dolphins and Packers all got better with the Brett Favre trade.
HALF A GENIUS: In religion and football, closed-mindedness often gets mistaken for conviction. But, love him or hate him, one of the reasons Bill Parcells has been successful for as long as he has is that he's not above adapting his schemes and philosophies to changes in the game, his roster or the competition. You're seeing that philosophy at work in Miami this year. It reminds me of 1996 and the way he transformed from old-school captain conservative into a pass-happy freak and rode Drew Bledsoe's hot arm all the way to the Super Bowl.
