John Clayton - More Dolphins love.

I looked around and didn't see this posted.

John Clayton really likes Nick Saban and what he's doing. There is a tidbit above about how well Daunte is doing in his rehab, but this is the part that really caught my eye.

7. Who's the Boss? Good things are happening in Miami. Nick Saban took over the Dolphins last season and surprised everyone with a strong finish and nine victories. Are the Dolphins the next major playoff contender? Probably. Saban has brought in his type of players. Saban loves size. He has beefed up the offensive line and added size on the defense. There is more speed in the secondary. And there is no bigger quarterback than Culpepper, who has trimmed down from 267 to 261 pounds. Saban appears to be building something special in Miami. This is one of the key camps to watch.

Toniu Fonoti is a big lineman, you should have signed him (just kidding, he sucked in SD for most of his time there). Saban had a pretty good team ready when he came last year (not in terms of record, but talent) but he will be able to get the best out of his players.

kind of off topic, but once just ( id settle for once ) id like to see clayton punch salisbury in his stupid face on their show

Funny how I remember when people were debating me that the team was not really going to get much bigger size-wise when Saban came aboard.

Who said that?

I go to LSU and I could have shot that argument down. We were year-in, year-out the biggest team in the SEC.

John CLayton is one of the few NFL guys at ESPN that is not a complete idiot (cough, cough-Sean Salesbury-cough,cough)

I think that was part of the argument of those claiming we weren't going to run a 3-4.
