Well... how about this statistic??
Miami was 29th is the league in pass attempts last year with only 453 attempts. Dead last in the AFC at 16th.
San Diego had 548 attmpts for 11th in the NFL and 5th in the AFC.
Thats nearly 100 more attempts, or 6.25 attempts per game. Like someone said... most of those are going to a TE or RB, but that is exactly what is needed to keep an opposing Defense off balance. Last year Chan Gailey had the most predeictable attack in the NFL last year. It was either a run straight up the gut or a pass to one of our starting WR's. Pretty easy to defend from a defensive standpoint. That will change this year. Defenses will be spread out more because of the variety of passes they will be seeing. They will have to look out for passes going to more than just our top WR's, and because of this it will open up the running game more.
