The world is yours
The Dolphin have a star in training camp that no one is talking about. He's a shifty running back with great hands, quick feet, strong legs and an intelligent brain between his ears. He's versatile, he has a low center of gravity, he's tough and he's as explosive as they come. His name is Patrick Cobbs.
Only having 19 grabs and 12 carries on the year, you might not remember Pat Cobbs as a "star". But you certainly remember Cobbs from the Texans game last year when he caught 3 balls for 138 yards, taking 2 to the house for scores. In that game, Cobbs showed you his ability to make a big play, and it is an ability that I'm sure the coaching staff is trying to showcase more this season.
Cobbs is not only effective because of his talent, but also for another reason. That reason being the fact that the opposing defense will rarely account for him. Think about it, when the Dolphins line up renowned playmakers like Ronnie Brown, Ricky Williams, Anthony Fasano, with Ginn and Bess on the outside, the defensive coordinator is not often going to be worrying about Patrick Cobbs in the backfield or in the slot.
I know I might be gushing a bit much about Cobbs, but I think that he can be a very valuable piece to our puzzle here. Especially since Ronnie Brown is prone to getting nicked up and missing a couple games over the course of the year.
I'm very excited about this offense going forward, I wish we were a little better at receiver, but I think we might just have one too many weapons for a defense to defend. With a smart guy like Pennington as the point guard of this offense taking the next step this year, I really think that we can see a very dynamic offense.
Let's just hope that what's happening to the Eagles doesn't start happening to us... I'm talking of course about their deleterious injury issues.
