Jeff Darlington Blog: HUGE update

3 Pro Bowlers, #2 draft pick, and McMike on the field at once

Here's a gem:

If you’re still reeling from the Dolphins offensive performance Saturday against Pittsburgh, this should put a smile back on your face: During Tuesday’s seven-on-seven drills, Saban put a group of players on the field that truly revealed how much individual potential this team has on offense. Get this. Ricky Williams in the backfield. Ronnie Brown in the slot. Randy McMichael, Bryan Gilmore and David Boston lined up wide in a spread formation. Not a bad combination, is it? And if you replace Boston or Gilmore with Chris Chambers, the lineup becomes even more potent. Now, if only the Dolphins could get its offensive line in order and its quarterback situation squared away, they’d be onto something. Watching this group lined up, though, was probably the most impressive group I had seen on the field at once since I arrived in Davie at the start of the month. Maybe it was simply because Brown and Williams were on the field at once – whatever the reason, it was pretty cool.

Saban only kept that specific group on the field for one play, which resulted in a short pass to McMichael on a curl route. But the potential of having three Pro Bowlers, a No. 2 overall Draft pick, and McMichael on the field at once just seemed especially neat. Not to mention, when Ricky returns from his suspension, what will it be like to have two running backs as talented as Brown and Williams on the field at the same time? Between Brown’s great hands and Williams’ explosive speed, Saban should and will surely find a way to make it happen.

I've been waiting to hear a thread like this..and i also am excited to see what could be. However, no qb and no o-line are HUGE ifs..personally i feel like next year we will have a worthy qb and the o-line should, in time, find some consistency,but honsetly I'm not expecting it all to come together this year

all in all..it's nice to hear some posativity, good post!
 
How is he getting 3 Pro Bowlers out of that? Does this new blogger actually think Chambers has been to the Pro Bowl? Did I miss Booker's name somewhere?
 
yeah, i wondered the same, but it's already changed on the blog. look under comments, too. it was Booker in the lineup -- not gilmore. that's where he got 3 pro bowlers.

now that lineup is even better!! pretty crazy!
 
The potential is there.Its putting it together that is the challenge.
 
If we had leinart, it wouldn't matter if he was a product of the system. we'd have a new system for him to be a product of. :D
 
Good read. It looks like he wrote part of this before the Pitt game though due to some of his comments.

Seeing a formation where McMichael is line up at the TE position, Chambers is out to the left and Booker to the right with split backs in the backfield of Ricky an dRonnie is almost drool worthy. Imagine that lineup for a second and then think about sending Ronnie in motion where som foolish Linebacker follows him. You have the potential to go deep in Chambers and McMichael, the possibility of going over the middle or into the corners with the Brown and Booker, or just simply hand off to Ricky and let him pummel a few people on his way downfield. Man, if the line can play halfway decent, we should have some exciting things to talk about this year.
