The best quote of this Dolphins offseason comes courtesy of sage linebacker Jason Taylor. It is the most telling analysis of the state of the team as minicamp ended Sunday, wrapping up Miami's preparation before the start of training camp in late July.
''We look good in pajamas,'' Taylor said.
He meant the shorts and practice jerseys that pass as NFL uniforms this time of year.
He meant that trying to accurately judge a team that isn't wearing pads or hitting is like trying to gauge the speed of a race car sitting idle.
How good will the Dolphins be in 2009? Be honest. Be the first on your block to admit you have no idea.
''I need to know what some of these young guys will do when we put pads on,'' as even coach Tony Sparano put it Sunday. Center Jake Grove added, ``When pads come on, you see a lot of guys disappear.''
