TEAM THAT WILL BE BAD, BUT NOT THAT BAD

Miami.
People forget that while the Dolphins were a 4-12 abomination last year, the battered defense still held up pretty well. Now healthy, the Miami "D" is going to be a pain in the neck to each of its opponents, every week. The offense is still a mess, but the presence of Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams will at least give that unit a pulse. They won't touch the Patriots or Jets in the AFC East, but the Fins will raise expectations for a promising 2006

That's good to hear someone knows how good our defense will be.

Good read.

Thanks.

How can anyone say the defense will be OK until they prove they can stop the run. This was the major problem last year and so far I don't see very much improvement this year. I think Saban is very concerned about this and is trying desperately to improve the tackle play.
