Sports Network: Fins Season Preview

Interesting detailed update and analysis by Andy Benoit

No mincing words here:

Miami's putrid receiving corps won't help the production of the quarterbacks

PROGNOSIS: A paucity of talent at the skill positions really plagued this team last year. Having Ronnie Brown healthy and someone new under center helps, but not enough. No biggie--the rest of the roster is under construction anyway. Parcells knows this...he'll take care of it.

He sure jumped the gun on Miami's putrid WRs. Ginn is starting to emerge now with the ton of talent he has and Pennington and him seem to have good chemistry, so I don't see how or why Ginn couldn't have a good season with Pennington. And the other Wrs are picking it up as well.

We're not getting any love until we beat Farve and the Jets.

As long as Dan Henning is our offense coordinator Miami will continue to run the ball

This I agree whole heartedly with. This team will open some eyes with a win over the Jets.

Articles like this make you wonder if anyone actually does their homework, or do they just regurg others opinions for earlier articles. We are not bereft of talent....we have young talent.

Yes, but what response will we get from the everybody else? I win shows us that we could be tough. To everybody else, a Miami win could get one of two responses:

'The Jets lost the the Fins, maybe the Jets aren't as good as we thought they would be.'

'The Fins beat the Jets, maybe the Fins will better than we expected.'

If Miami wins, I'm guessing most people will have the first thought. That the Jets just aren't that good. It will take more than that win for people to believe in Miami.

Of course, it's the same for the Jets. If they win, they won't be given proper credit. It will just be 'a win against 07's worst team.' Media response = good job Jets, you beat a team that lost 15 times last year.

This game will mean ALOT to the winner. But whichever team wins will need to win in week 2 to really start earning a little respect. Unless, of course, week 1 is a complete blow-out....

yeah...cause I was suprised when Skip Bayless was talking about number 4(I really want to avoid this topic,hus names been used ample times....) like a few days ago,and said "I dont know.If he(number 4) can go into(you all know how he talks we he gets into it) MIA and beat a vastly improved Dolphins team,blah,blah,blah"....cause he usually makes me want to stop watching ESPN,but the way he showed love towards our team made me even more confident in the team...

if Skip is a believer....

.....I like our chances

[thefranchisedef]

I dont know what it is, but i actually like alot of skip bayless says.. the guy is an a$$, there is no denying that. yet, since he is so politically incorrect i have some respect for that. If he says that the dolphins are vastly improved, even though he is no expert, I believe he see's something we see.

[DcRy82]

Isn't it funny how somebody can be the biggest idiot and have the most unreasonable opinions, but then when they say somethin nice about your favorite team, they are the smartest "analyst" in the world? hahaha. I usually disagree with Skip, but I like where he's going this time.

Not really, If we get Roy Williams next season and Henne emerges with that cannon arm, you best believe that we will pass the ball just as much. Look at the carolina offense stats when possession reiver mhusin muhammad and steve smith played together.

I actually thought this article was quite well written. Sure, I may have had some differences of opinion with the author but he gave a fairly accurate account of the Dolphins' situation. Considering other national coverage the Dolphins have received, this guy certainly seems to have done his research.

I could care less how they spin it when we win. A W is a W no matter what the reason. They can say the Jets choked, or they weren't as good or whatever, but, that 1 in the win column won't count any less.

I don't let these analyzers bother me anymore. They always go by last year. They don't do an in depth analysis of each team based on whats happening now. He probably has no idea who Donald Thomas is.
