SI 2006 NFL preview: Miami Dolphins

[Aqua4Ever04]

I didn't see this posted yet and it is a very good article breaking down each posistion for our team in 2006. Any way, here's the link a few entries from the article.

Brown, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2005 draft, shared duties over the last 12 games with Ricky Williams. Together, they revived the Dolphins' rushing game, combining for 1,650 yards and 10 touchdowns on 4.4 yards per carry. Williams, however, is suspended for another year after failing a fourth drug test.
So Brown, a bruising runner who showed some breakaway ability, figures to get more than his rookie total of 207 carries. An excellent blocker and receiver, he should also catch more than 32 passes this year.

I love what they say about Chambers here.

Chambers didn't have his first 100-yard game of 2005 until its 11th contest. Then he couldn't be stopped. Over the final six games, he had 43 catches, 620 yards and six touchdowns, and did not struggle as much with concentration. He is among the NFL's most acrobatic receivers, with nearly unmatched leaping ability and nimble feet near the sideline.

The best part of the article is:

Culpepper wore No. 11 in Minnesota but has decided to change back to No. 8, which is what he wore at Vanguard High School in Ocala, Fla., and at UCF. Culpepper’s favorite number as a kid? Thirteen. That’s the jersey number that his favorite player, Dan Marino, wore.

Culpepper a Dolphin Fan? Now that's something.
