I tend to agree with your beliefs on our status. I also have the feeling that this group is a lot better than most are giving us credit for. I didn't have any such belief last year, when everyone was saying that we were going to do so good, Saban just didn't seem to have that "winnners look", if you know what I mean. I think Cam's "team" mentality is what gives me this feeling, we'll just have to wait and see, though. Here's hoping for a "good" surprise to our year.

It seems like we might have made some pretty good choices for O-Line in the draft. Especially with Mormino. Maybe we got lucky and found us a LG for years to come. I am pumped for this upcoming season. I know I might expect too much, but we just might be better then people give us credit for.

Where does the author comment on the quality of the Miami draft choices?
Satele has no competition since Hadnot's been moved to RG, and Mormino has only to beat out Liewienski at LG. It's not like they're challenging Pro Bowlers or even established veterans.

Challenge No. 2: Find the right combination along the offensive line.

The Dolphins are implementing a youth movement along the offensive line. Rookie Samson Satele will start at center and sixth-round pick Drew Mormino is battling for the starting spot at left guard. Former center Rex Hadnot is moving to right guard while left tackle Vernon Carey and right tackle L.J. Shelton seem set at those positions. With so many new faces playing together for the first time, it is important that Miami play various combinations during the preseason.

What do you care? This is a Dolphins fan site, not a Bills one. He was simply commenting on the fact that our draft picks are getting a chance to compete and that he feels confident on their ability to make the starting line-up. Go rain on your own parade and leave us alone.
 
i tend to not listen to the media, its all opinion. i just get the information from them and make my own opinion.
 
I think figuring out how to best utilize Ginn is a much bigger priority than figuring out how to best use Joey Porter.

Well put, and well said! Hopefully we start asserting a more physical and demanding style which will weigh not only on teams but also their fans. That will surely limit all the negatively spiced commentary.
 
in a few years we will look back and realize how sick this class was!!! :)
