Miami Dolphin Season Preview (WalterFootball)

Their prediction rests on the possibility that the team gives up on Henne and Sparano. It's not all that crazy. When the team gave up on Cameron in 2007 we won only 1 game, and that team was better than a 1 win team in the preseason too. The prediction is what I would call a longshot, but just as much as the other end of the spectrum where people have us winning 10-11 games, and those aren't treated with the same vitriol. Homers will be homers.
 
My one problem with this article and others is that there is no mention of the change of system. There have been too many QBs that moved into a better system or situation and performed better. No one knows the actual affect if any of the new system, so it is crazy not to mention it.
 
Everyone is predicting us to finish at the bottom of the barrel. I really hope they don't see something that we see.
 
just to put his predictive "expertise" into proper perspective, especially when it comes to a team that was 7-1 on the road and if not for larcenous PBurgh based zebras, would have been .500.. even before upgrading....

this is so ridiculous. this team was on the verge of winning 10 games last year. if some guys would have simply hung on to easy interceptions, a total robbery of a call at home against the Steelers... and I feel they have improved from last year on both sides of the ball, while it appears the Jets have maybe regressed slightly. I feel 9 wins are very attainable, maybe 10 if they catch a break or two.
 
I don't think that we are a 3-13 team, our D is too good. But I don't think the article is way off base, either.
They really threw Henne under the bus in an unfair fashion in talking about his off season as by all accounts he showed a great deal of leadership through holding all of the player only OTAs, but the overall analysis of the offense was pretty spot on. What did they say about the O that anyone can HONESTLY disagree with?
At QB Henne could be better, and I think he will be, but who really knows? On the o-line, Mark Colombo was one of the worst RTs in the league last year, we have a rookie at C and Vernon Carey is clearly declining. At RB, we have a completely unproven rookie who needs to carry a large load at RB because Bush has never proven to be anything close to an every down back. At WR, Marshall is a monster and Bess is great in the slot but Hartline is underwhelming, Gates is a rookie, and the receiving corps on any team is really hindered obviously if the QB play is sub par. At TE - Fasano is just okay, he doesn't kill you but he really doesn't scare anybody.
Like I've said before, our O definitely has some bright spots and some potential if it is executed properly and certain unproven guys step up, but objectively you can't assume these guys will be MUCH better than last year.
Honestly I think we are much closer to .500 than we are 3-13, and if the ball bounces our way we could fight for 9-7 or 10-6... But I'm not all that hopeful.
 
Yeah, he changed it. I posted it a week or so ago and he had the Dolphins at 2-14.
 
That's harsh. The points are valid, but it doesn't mean their conclusion is.
 
I stopped reading when he said that Tom Brady would never dress up like a woman...
