…Dary!! …Legendary!!!
Hello everyone, I’m Jeffrey Rex!
After The Buffalo Bills review I move on to another team in the AFC East, The Miami Dolphins.
The Dolphins:
The Dolphins play in Miami, Florida and are used to go up to North-East America, more precisely to New York & Massachusetts. Once again we’re dealing with a team that’s an underdog in the race for AFC East supremacy – like the Bills the Dolphins lack the front figure like Rex Ryan & they lack the amazing offense that is the Patriots & the Jets.
With no real danger on the offensive side of the ball they added Brandon Marshall (in 2010), so that they now have two very good athletes in Ronnie Brown & Brandon Marshall – we’ll get to the defence later on. Not a lot of years ago the Dolphins added a quarterback that, in my opinion, is a very talented guy – but unfortunately for Henne as well as the Dolphins, he has yet to show remarkable talent in the NFL. Henne has been up against the former Jets QB Chad Pennington, but definitely proved that arm strength is an advantage of his. I really like their chances with this guy alongside Jake Long, Brandon Marshall & Ronnie Brown – to name a few. If we look on the statistic side of things the Dolphin offence has been rather mute, and sometimes boring – this has at times been due to injuries. A good example of really poor offensive football came against the Chicago Bears when they lost 16-0 at home (w/ Tyler Thigpen at QB, if I remember correctly). Defensively, however, the Dolphins have been rather good! Both on the passing side and the running side – so that’s something to be proud of. If I remember correctly their defensive backs are rather young and very talented.
I have a lot of faith in their defence, and therefore I’d like to see a stronger offense to complement their talented defence. So when the draft was upon them they of course looked towards offensive talent. With 6 choices in the draft they chose 1 offensive lineman, 1 Running back, 1 Tight end, 1 Wide receiver, 1 Defensive back & 1 defensive tackle. The biggest name of their draft of course came in the 1st round with Mike Pouncey – brother of Maurkice Pouncey. The Dolphins of course hope that talent is in their blood – and of course it must be there, since he was drafted in the 1st round. I believe that these people can help their team tremendously – but, some might say that this team needs a much more talented quarterback.
I’ll be back soon with another review.
Once again I’m Jeffrey Rex!
And the next post will be Legen… Wait for it…
