dim Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I'll wait until the end of the preseason to make my predictions for the season. Too many things can happen between now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy42Jack0 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 im guessing everyone who picked new england failed to see how awful their defense will be...and i mean really super duper awful granted alot can happen...but tom brady cant tackle anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erick Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 im guessing everyone who picked new england failed to see how awful their defense will be...and i mean really super duper awful granted alot can happen...but tom brady cant tackle anyone It's not "awful." They still have the same front 3 (Warren, Wilfork, Seymour). LB's are still there, for the most part. (Mayo, Bruschi, Thomas)...they also brought back Tully Banta-Cain who has had success with them before. And their secondary...1 corner is Ellis Hobbs who's been there for awhile...the other will probably be Leigh Bodden. And James Sanders and Brandon Meriweather (from the U) is a solid safety tandem. Awful? I think not. Then again, if I were a Dolphins fan, I'd want to believe that, as well. That defense is certainly good enough to win a lot of games, as well, considering the support they'll receive from their offense. By the way, the Dolphins defense is by no means "great." And their offense sure as hell isn't as good as New England's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymous Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Yea, the Dolphins defense isn't that great. Our rush D is pretty good, but our secondary had problems last season. But, I still think our defense is better than the Pats D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And their offense sure as hell isn't as good as New England's. They have Shawn Springs (severely underrated, but injury prone CB) as their #1 CB, they added a solid serviceable LB in Derrick Burgess, and I'm being a homer but a very solid rookie LB in Tyrone McKenzie (USF Bull). So, they should field an average (by NFL standards) defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeVORP Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Dolphins D was very underrated last year and I predict a top 5 finish this year. First pre-season game and they looked awfully solid. I mean they improved that Defense a LOT. And their Offense was surprisingly outstanding last year, sans maybe the running game, which should get better with a more experienced line this year.

Anonymous Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Yea, I'm expecting alot, too. If Cameron Wake and JT can rush the passer effectively, freeing up JP, watch out. I also read that CC might rush the passer a bit as well, so we might have a very, very dangerous pass rush this season, taking pressure off our secondary.

Then again, Jason Taylor isn't on the Dolphins depth chart either, so yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's well known I'm not a Dolphin fan, but to be fair...their secondary improved, as well, with the draft. I don't think they'll be bad this year, although I don't see them repeating what they did last year because... 1. New England is tougher this year...Tom Brady is still the man. 2. I think the Wildcat offense gets figured out, at some point. I also think the AFC East might be the best division in football, as well. If it's not, it's 2nd to the NFC East.

Anonymous Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 The secondary did improve, but we still don't know yet. Sean Smith and Vontae Davis can be busts, and Eric Green is nothing special. Adding Gibril Wilson, though, was a fantastic move. I loved it. AFC East isn't as tough as many think. The Bills, IMO, will struggle this season. I don't see them competeing. And I'm not scared of the Jets. No Receivers+No QB= Epic Fail. Their defense can be a Top 5 defense, but their Offense will doom them.

I'd like to throw the NFC South into the mix for the best division. Saints and Falcons are exciting teams, Panthers are solid, and while many pundits are writing off the Buccs, I think they will suprise a lot of people despite the new management such as Atlanta did last year.
