I don't know. The core of Miami's defensive players during that loss are still here. Surtain, Madison, Bowens, Thomas, Taylor, Marion, etc. I think Rob Konrad was here. Jay Fiedler was on the other side, heh.
The defense is what got embarrassed in that game. They let Fred Taylor and James Stewart run all over them, and let Jimmy Smith and Mark Brunell pass all over them, and even let Fiedler pass all over them. Anyway the Jags and Phins played during the preseason and I didn't sense any animosity, but then again the Phins players probably sure as heck realized that there's no way in the world they will let the Jags win the regular season contest. No way.
Anyway I think we'll see if this Miami team repeats its mistakes. They laid an egg against the Texans, who they grossly underestimated, because they were too arrogant and were looking ahead to the Jets game a little perhaps. Now the Dolphins face a rookie quarterback and a team that will probably be 0-5...and the Dolphins might get caught looking ahead to yet another division rival, the Patriots.
So we'll see if history repeats itself. Do NOT panic if it does. All it would mean is the phins are 3-2 and extremely upset with themselves heading into a very important division game...which is not a bad place for the Phins to be in. Might be worst if the Phins are 4-1 and brash thinking they are so good because of their 4-1 record that they don't need to take division games as seriously as they would a playoff game.
