3. Miami Dolphins: Talk about attitude. The Dolphins have a 3-4 defense with Jason Taylor, Zach Thomas and Joey Porter. This looks like an AFC Pro Bowl team. Porter was a great signing. Taylor can get the sacks and force fumbles. Porter and Thomas can be the leaders. The other great part of the Dolphins offseason is that they have acquired three additional draft choices -- in the second, sixth and seventh rounds -- in trades. This franchise traded away too many draft choices over the years and needs to start getting younger. With nine draft choices in hand and good positioning in the draft, the Dolphins are off to a good start.

now all we need is Mike Doss and Donte Stallworth or Kevin Curtis and we can go all out OL in the draft...and have THE BEST offseason.

Props to Mueller and Cameron, they're making the right moves.

 

[Dolfan4life34]

why is everyone so high on doss he lost his spot to a 5th rd draftpick out of howard

 

[PhenomenalPhin]

That's good to hear, I'm surprised they didn't rip us on lack of offensive signings.

 

[MustangFinFan]

what would YOU say if u were an offensive coordinator or player on the opposing team if u saw the Dolphins defense like this:


DL: Roth, M. Wright, Traylor, Holliday

LB: Taylor, Crowder, Thomas, Porter

CB: J. Allen, W. Allen, Daniels

FS: Laron Landry

SS: Mike Doss/Yeremiah Bell




id piss my pants...

i actually thought they would grade is much lower due to only 2 signings basically as oppose to the 9ers, broncos and so forth.

So far they are right, we have had one of the best offseasons.

However, we have to fill our OL holes to retain this ranking by training camp.

That worries me more then corners, qb, or safety.

Other teams overpaid and made stupid moves. We were smart.

You can't just include signings. The fact that we traded a former undrafted free agent for a 2nd and 7th round pick is a steal. Plus getting the Broncos to cough up a 6th for Big Daddy was amazing(of course it looks like the trade will now be voided).

We are building a good foundation for the future by trimming the fat and getting draft picks.

Now we have to get the offensive signing going.

The ball wouldn't even get out of the qbs hands. He'd have to tuck it or lose it baby.
