All of this won't matter if the DLs/LBs do there job and put Ryan on his back...Will won't have to be spectacular...just serviceable (which he is more than capable of)

I think we'll be fine. We've seriously upgraded talent this offseason. And our secondary wasn't really as bad as some people think last year, considering the talent we had.
Someone cited a KC-Miami game several years ago where Travis Daniels was assigned one-on-one on TG to hit him in the ribs every time he went up for the ball. After a while TG quit going up for the ball. Sounds like a good strategy to me. Can you imagine buff V Davis laying the wood to TG?
I am also hoping the pass rush is improved and Ryan will have less time to look downfield. Let him keep checking off to TG and let VD keep popping him in the ribs. TG is a little bit older than when Travis laid the wood on him.... :hump:
Yep, i can only remember one time that he didn't have a good game playing us.The 2 games Miami played w/ Daniels on the roster Gonzalez caught 13 pass for 151 yds. if you prorate those #s over 16 games he'd have 104 recs and 1208 yds so I'm not sure that strategy worked.

Yea I know I'm jumping ahead to game 1, but what else is the off season for. I saw every Dolphins game last year, but I always went to the bar with a friend of mine who was a Falcons fan so I caught A LOT of Falcons games. THIS is the one matchup I fear the WORST, I think we have them at least even or beat in every other matchup.
When Roddy White wants to catch a ball, he simply will. Matt Ryan was smart enough to trust White and White made him look like a genius, time and time again. Makes me wonder if it'll force us to try to double him, but then you leave the holes open for Turner to run through. Sean Smith has the size to handle a Roddy White but he doesn't have the experience.
If you noticed last year, Will Allen was NOT covering most of the big no. 1 receivers. He didn't play Randy Moss at least. So what changes now? I KNOW Will Allen won't play him, he's great I love him, but he doesn't have the size and Sparano knows it. Ugh, if it weren't for Roddy I'd feel positive about this game... oh well.
im worried about what freakin linebacker can keep up with gonzalez??
Roddy white is good.. but he isnt gonzalez
Last year when we played him he only went 7 for 64 but had 1 TD.... Those arent great numbers, he definately did not tear us apart.. and in theory we have upgraded the LB position.. I not TOO worried... IMO he wont tear us up this year either
7-64-1 TD is a good game
prorate that to 16 games and it is 112 recs-1024 yds and 16 TDs
Missed the point completely, as I am not comparing what TG did cumulatively, therefore your comparing apples to oranges... and although it is a good game, it is by far tearing anyone up... Take away the TD and it is a below average game
