"Mularkey, who resigned after two seasons as head coach of the Buffalo Bills, will take over as offensive coordinator following the departure of Scott Linehan.

Though Mularkey will be running Linehan's system, he already feels comfortable with it. Enough, in fact, that he can sit down with free agents and potential draft picks and feel at ease discussing terminology and what the team is trying to accomplish on a given play.

Of course, the former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator does plan to make a few tweaks.

"There's scheme philosophy and then there's 'how you attack' philosophy," Mularkey said. "How we attack, obviously I have different ways of doing it than Scott did. Everybody's got their blueprint for how it works.""

"Between head coaching jobs, Capers ran a 4-3 scheme as defensive coordinator in Jacksonville. He's also a big proponent of the 3-4 defense Saban instituted last season and believes Jason Taylor is the perfect hybrid defensive end/linebacker for that system."

"As I look at what was done here, there was a lot of intermixing of the 3-4 and 4-3, so those are the kind of things that fit right in with the things I believe in," Capers said. "Any time you can be multiple . . . I think you can create more problems for an offense.

"You can line up in a 4-3 one down and you're in a 3-4 the next. Or you line up in a 3-4 and stem to a 4-3 or vice versa. They're having to make decisions very quickly."

Well maybe this means we will run the ball when we get down inside the redzone unlike last year. I like the idea of having the same system with a different philosphy. We have two of the best RBs in the league, and a climate that makes it hard for other teams to deal with us running the ball at them for 4 quarters. We need to run the ball more than we did last year with the run opening up the pass, not the other way around.

thanks Super.. I really was disgusted last year at the efn idiots crying about how we should tank our last games for better picks at seasons end. The mileage we have gotten from the six victories in a row has been incalculable. The free agents, the team and now the NEW coaches have mentioned how important it was. AND, Nick laid to rest our WORST curse in his first year.

The former NFL head coaches, who found themselves on the market this off-season, were both impressed enough with the way the Dolphins finished 2005 that they signed on to join Saban's staff -- giving Miami one of the league's most glamorous set of coordinators.
"I've always thought a lot of Nick," Capers said this past week during an informal meeting with media covering the Dolphins. "I know he did a tremendous job here last year.
"Just looking at the team from an outsider, I felt what happened here through the course of the season, you could really see that this team was heading in the right direction."

All things considered if Ricky is able to play we will have a great duo to run at people for 4Qtrs. If not then we will have to do a little more than tweak it. Hopefully RW is able to come out of this thing with a positive result and i dont mean drug test, hopefully he will be able to play and help us win the championship!!!!!!GO PHINS!!!!!!!!!

I think this is reference to the passing playcalls that were made early in the season on down after red zone down. I hated the calls but Nick was straightforward, "if they had worked you wouldn't be complaining".

My friend asked me, Marty, what do YOU consider a good game. I quickly replied 52-0 Miami over the Jets. He said but that's a blowout and no fun to watch. I said bull, they are hard to endure, they are wonderful to apply. I'm with ya here big time Huck, it's not our job to stop scoring, it's their job to stop us. Beat them down.
