Active Roster
This will most likely sound homerish, but I honestly think this season's Miami Dolphins will be a great team and here is why:
Our defensive line will be the most imroved unit in the league. All Wally needs to do is get the same amount of sacks as he had durring the 4 game preseason in the 16 game schedule(7). This will allow the guy on the other side to take his game to the top 5 DEs in the NFL. If Jay Taylor gets the luxury of having a pass rush on the other side flush the qb his way more than last year he should put up around 15 sacks and 80 tackles. That being said the most improved part of the d-line will be DT. Bowens and Chester should plug the line to keep Zach free, and will not be as mediorcre as they were last year against the run. Then you add Jay Williams to create something we didn't have last year at DT, a pass rusher. I will admit when i first saw the aqusition of Williams i was not excited, but after what i saw over the preseason he has completely changed my tune. He showed that he could play very tough against the run at DE, and he broke free in the backfeild almost every time he lined up at DT. The last big move at d-line was signing Rob Burnett. I don't think he will make a huge impact on the feild, but in the locker room and on the sideline he brings leadership and a SB ring. This very talented d seemed to play with a lack luster attitude last season, but i think Rob will keep the d focused, and help bring them back to the elite groups in the league.
Our offense will be good enough. Our o-line is not a great unit, but they were alot worse last year. they were a lot worse, and they still were good enough for a Norv Tuner and Ricky Williams less squad to win 11 games. Rob Konrad has showed he can be the FB that Norv wants. Randy Mcmichael will most likely not be among the best in the laegue i would bet he makes about 12 great plays over the season to give the offense a spark. Chris Chambers has a year under his belt and will make the opossing defense to pay attention to him. OG is a rock, and Dedric Ward is finally healthy and looks like he will be a very solid slot man. Most importantly Jay Feidler has to be improved with another year under his belt, but Ray Lucas has proven he is more than an adequit back up so if Jay struggles i would bet Norv wouldn't hesitate to make a switch.
Obviously you need a little luck over the course of a 16 game schedule, but i think if we can healthy and a break or two goes our way this team could represent the AFC in the SB.
