6) Dolphins & Pennington

Well, its been a long week but the games are almost here. The final team Im going to talk about from the AFC East are the Miami Dolphins. This team completely had to clean house last year. They may have kept the equipment manager but everyone else got the A X E. Along came the trifecta and they restructured. It looks like they did a pretty good job in the draft. They drafted highly touted tackle Jake Long to anchor the offense and they picked up a solid quarterback in Chad Henne. The draft was pretty solid. It better have been, they picked first. A good draft, mixed in with some savvy veterans they picked up via free agency, really gave this team a face lift. But I'll tell you that the key aquisition was Chad Pennington. The Jets released him for another quarterback from Green Bay. The addition of Pennington will keep a young Miami team in every game. I believe Head Coach Sparano will have a good rookie campaign. From what I've been researching, the team respects him and they're ready to win for him. Bill Parcells lurking around the Davie training camp facility didn't hurt either. The running game will be explosive. I'm looking for Ricky Williams to have a big year. Ronnie Brown will be a great change of pace, but the key two players are Anthony Fassano and Ted Ginn. If these two develop any chemistry with Pennington--look out. This team will surprise. Look for them to go 9-7 this year. Joe a.k.a. Dolfan
