What about your Dolphins makes you hopeful?

[BAMAPHIN 22]

1. That first overall pick Jake Long becomes the stud anchor to the OL that his draft pedigree and salary demand.


2. That either Chad Henne or John Beck steps up and identifies himself as the QB of the future.


3. That Bill Parcells doesn't get frustrated, as Nick Saban did, and leaves. Although he is signed for four years the hope here is that he lasts at least two.

Bill Parcells is in the house

 

[fatkirstyalley]

We have a front office with a plan!

 

[Kendra_Chelsea]

its not about what we have, it is about what we wont have.

1) we wont have cam here
2) we wont have a club-med training camp this year
3) we wont have all the injuries that we had last year
4) we wont have players quiting on the coach
5) we wont have players getting in the face of our new coach

Will that add up to more wins than last year? I would say you could almost bank on it.

A man in charge who realizes the importance of the O Line and D Line being the strength of the team, and building from there.

All of the new guys that Parcells and Ireland brought in. I really think our defense is going to be much improved.

what makes me hopefull is that it cant get any worse. That and the fact that this close to tc nobodys got a dui, beat on their old lady (aka the randy one), no failed drug test. We might actually stop thinking we have to take crap from lions fan.

It's the NFL where last to first can happen, a few good bounces changes a mediocre season to solid season. Just look at the Jets alone one season their 12-4 the next they come back down to reality. It could happen thats why it's so popular. GO FINS!!!

Joey Porter in his old system

 

[13Dolfan87]

Quite simply, we have nowhere to go but up.

 

[PHINishinStrong]

A young team that will fail forward fast!!! LOL

 

[Elliott 1]

A vastly improved OL.

Josh Mcown may be the late bloomer type of QB. Another Rich Gannon. He is one amazing athlete at the QB position. There aren't a lot of 6'4" QB's in the NFL with 4.5 speed and near 40 inch vertical's.

Ricky and Ronnie with a great line, a good FB and Fasano and Wilford blocking could be just too much for teams to deal with.

I see a really beneficial competition at the open outside LB position between Quentin Moses and Charlie Anderson. I don't think we will miss JT as much as is being indicated. Moses isn't as fast as JT but he does have pass rushing skills and he looked better against the run last year than JT did.

Channing Crowder is playing for his life.

Reggie Torbor looked really good in the playoffs last year, really good.

Jason Allen,Ted Ginn and Derek Hagan are all going to be much better players this year.

The depth at DL with good coaching could result in a dominant D in the future.

Yeremiah, the key, is back and healthy. God be with him.

Joey Porter in his old system

:beer1:Amen.

 

[popularwar]

A running game which will keep games tight with a revamped offensive line.

 

[FinsGonnaRock06]

I am excited about all the new young talent, better coaching, WAY better Personnel folks, im thankful my DOLPHINS are about to start turning some heads around the NFL, i believe ALOT sooner than most think.
