It's never too early to start the NFL offseason. In an immense undertaking, I will be taking a look at each of the 32 teams and evaluating talent and examining potential upgrades. The teams will be examined in Draft Order. If only some coaches read this stuff:
Record: 1-15
2007 Season: It was a dismal year. The Dolphins looked pathetic most of the time and had the worst season in franchise history. However, there were some bright spots. The aging defense held things together, and the running game was looking good until the loss of Ronnie Brown early on. Provided Brown returns from injury, the running game will be a bright spot in the '08 season. The Dolphins are also hoping Tenn Ginn Jr. takes a big step forward in '08.
2008 Offseason: The head coach is out and Bill Parcels and his goons have already began the slash and burn tactics. Last year's number 1 reciever and quarterback are gone. That is not to say that is bad thing. The Dolphins need help in all areas of the game. Their defense is old, the O-line is weak, and the QB is still young. That is not to say that the Fins can't upgrade. Potential free agent acquisitions could strengthen the O-line and players such as Pro Bowler Allen Faneca or former 1st round pick Jordan Gross from Carolina woould look good to Dolphins fans. The defense is old, but potential draft picks could solidfy this. The corner market is strong with free agents Samuel (NE) and Asomugha (OAK) potential free agents.
2008 Season: It will be a long hual for the Fins. The QB still needs time to throw the ball, but the Fins could remain competitive on the legs of Brown. If they upgrade the defense via free agency and the draft it could be a top 10 unit next year. The Dolphins are not helped with the schedule as they play 2 games against powerhouse New England.
Projected: 4th AFC East:
