[FONT=Arial, Helvetica] The Dolphins are the preseason flavor of the summer, hotter than a walk down South Beach on a sunny afternoon. After reeling off six consecutive victories to close out the 2005 season, then trading to land Culpepper in a deal that will someday rival the natives giving up Manhattan as one of the worst transactions in history, the Dolphins have become a trendy Super Bowl pick.

1. A year ago, Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban was in his first NFL training camp, taking over a team that looked like it might be lucky to win six games. Somehow, he got it to win nine. Fast forward a year and you now have a team picked by some to win the division and maybe get even more. As a result, Saban seems far more at ease than he did a year ago, which has to be a hint that he thinks it will be better. That's about all you'll get out of Saban, because he's not about to come out and say it. His guarded approach is part of his coaching shtick. But one thing that does come through is this: This guy can coach. Getting his team to win nine games last season was an amazing feat. Now comes the hard part -- building on it. But judging by Saban's demeanor compared, you get the idea he knows this team is significantly better and has a chance to do something come January.

Both great reads. Thanks.

Protection Protection Protection will be the keys to the success of this team. Doesn't sound like they are doing a very good job in that area. Hopefully they will by the end of camp.

As much as prisco is ripped on this board the guy is much like us dolphin fans. He ripped the fins with dave and we all criticized him but the dude was right. And unlike other media members who jumped on the bandwagon this year prisco has been praising saban since he was hired in december of 2004. The guy knew we were crap with wanny and saban is different. And he doesnt say half the asinine stuff ESPN guys do. To think how much he was ripped for ripping us, he was right all those years and it took us a new coach for us to take the blinders off for all those wasted years from jj-now.

I hate how everyone seems to bring the age thing in to play. I think that ZT an JT had their best years last year and expect nothing less this year. Overall good read though, seems toi show whats going on specifically w/ the secondary and o line.
