Starter
I've Been a Dolphins fan for 18 years now, and I have never been this excited for an upcoming season as I am now. I feel that our staff finally has put all the right pieces in place, and these guys know what they're doing. I know some of you were worried that Parcells would leave us this off-season, but I had a good feeling that he was here for atleast another year. I am confident that he will be with us the following year as well. These guys see to know how to run a true team, building through the draft, not free agency.
The signing of Pennington was probally the best free agent signing this team has made in the past 10 years. After a parade of quarterbacks since Marino, we finally have one we can honestly believe in. And when his time is up in Miami, we have a very promising QB in Chad Henne. I believe he is going to be a great, not good, a GREAT quarterback. He already was showing promise this pre-season and his short stint at quarterback in week 2. This leads me to my next point about Pennington's value. If Henne was doing this good now, I could only imagine that he would be even better after learning from Pennington a couple years. When it is finally his time to step in as the starter, I think he'll do just fine.
We also have a few young promising prospects on the defensive line. Langford, who was looked over many times on draft day, and did a fine job as starter on our line. And Merling, who was first round talent found in the second round, and made a few plays in a reserve role. I'm hoping that in time, these two will be key players in our defense. The signing of Wake excites me as well. I can't wait to see what this guy brings to the NFL.
Despite a common belief on this board, I honestly don't think our receivers are that bad. Don't get me wrong here though. I would LOVE to get ourselves a big, tall, physical receiver. But we don't have that yet. I'm saying, with what we do have, I can't ask for much more out of them. They seem to be doing a good job of whats expected of them. Maybe this year's draft, maybe next year's, hopefully we do get a big receiver that makes this group one of the top in the NFL.
Long story short, I love this team, and with one or more drafts like this past years, we will make a strong push to the Superbowl. Man, I'm looking foward to next season already!
