Perhaps it was the fact that, though not a star, Pennington was the only consistent quarterback in the division, mainly on the east.

A fluke you say?

Parcells failed in the offseason to get seasoned veterans, not to mention Tom Brady is back and all is right with the world you add.

On the contrary, that is exactly what has most teams in the AFC shook—the fact that the Dolphins won as much as they did with a young supporting cast. Some question the Dolphin’s front office and Bill Parcells' thinking as senile when in actuality it is pure genius.

Just as an old college coach, whom many may consider to be washed up for not going for the bigger better talent, Parcells sees the bigger picture and that bigger picture is growth.

Instead of buying into the “name game," stick with what you have and build from within.

By doing so, you are placing responsibility on young men who are still hungry for football and will not be wrapped up in salary issues, endorsements etc. You are also allowed to develop a system that a young team will believe in and strive to execute.

Sure, Miami could have gotten wide receiver Laveranues Cole who Parcells drafted in 2000, but he just doesn’t fit the mold.

Why not just stick with the raw receiving corps that you have and force healthy competition instead of picking up a veteran receiver to disrupt that flow?

It makes sense; less is more and many will never see the logic until a couple of years from now when the Dolphins are winning the Super bowl.

The Miami Dolphin’s are the talk of the town.

Maybe the AFC needs to get as hungry as the Dolphins are. They should order a big plate of “Let’s realize the Dolphins are a threat” with a side of “Dust yourself off and try again” because the Dolphins are in it to win it!

I haven't seen this posted if so, please delete..but a very good article.
 
I gotta say that's one thing I really like about this team and their attitude.... They seem really hungry and have a big chip on their shoulder. Nobody thought they would win anything last year and even though they did nobody thinks they can win anything this year. These guys hear and read all of this and you know they're going to be busting their ***** to prove everybody wrong.

Miami is going to be ready for the NFL. We win the division and still get no respect. When we start kicking everyones butt we still will have naysayers.
Let them think what they want. We know that our team is on its way to the promise land. We know that the Dolphins are very determined and ready to put the jackbutts in thier place. When we win the division again what excuse will they have. We are ready to be a dynasty again. We need those championships. I feel that this is the best Dolphins team/coaches we have had since Shula. I cant wait till we pound teams and make teams scared to play us. Only a couple of months and start your engines boys and girls. Lets get it on. As for the rest of the EAST. They can all eat one,cuzz Miami is not a pushover anymore. We will punch them in the face and take thier pride.

Its good to be back on Finheaven. I have been going through withdrawls. Finheaven ROCKS.


GO DOLPHINS............#1 :dolphins:
 
I love the Dewey Cox quote. "Life is a race. And I'm in it to win it. How do I walk boys?"
 
The optimism is a nice change. That said, whoever wrote it writes that T.O. has nobody to compliment him. The Bills are improved the Patriots are going to be no pushover. The Jets should be a joke, though/
 
Great find, nice article. I have to disagree that T.O. doesn't have anyone to compliment him. Evans isn't chopped liver. And to downplay the jets defense could be a big mistake. However for the most part I would have to agree, the east seems to be looking like a two horse race.
 
It is certainly nice to here that but I am going to have to question his bias. He claims the Jets are rebuilding, not so. Yes they do have questions at QB and WR but they have a solid running game. The OL is aging but not to bad. He refers to the defense as being "suspect" but it is loaded with talent. One area of the Jets that I am not hearing from the media is their lack of depth. For them to remain competitive this season they better stay injury free. I kind of wonder if this writer is a Miami fan.
 
It's nice to hear a positive article from time to time, but I'd rather keep hearing about how Miami sucks and was a fluke just because I think the more our boys hear that the better. I agree with the above poster - this guy sounds like a Miami fan to me. Between the overly-positive outlook in his entire article to some of his explanations in the comments afterwards, I think his words should be taken with a grain of salt. That being said, it was still kinda cool to sip on the koolaid for about 3 mins. :D

the Bills have some play-makers in Lynch, Owens and Evans but their OL is looking very shaky at the moment. Langston Walker is their LT right now. both Wood and Levitre are scheduled to start. i like their potential, but they are rookies.
