Miami Herald + Armanda Salguero = Usually not anything good or worthwhile. thanks though, I got a good laugh from reading it! After last year, even we can't argue with pessimistic articles.
There is alot of hope. This team has become very young. A young team is a coachable team. I have confidence that we now have a staff in Miami that knows football and can coach football. Conditioning, execution, passion, and fundamentals can take an average team and make them competitive with almost anybody. We will be, at least, that this year and if it all comes together quickly, we could really be a surprise to alot of teams.
New England - Hopes Tom Brady doesn't break his leg. See how easy that is? That's essentially what he did here. There is no hope. They know what theyr'e going to do. Lets see how it plays out.
I agree Mulligan, the quality of the staff.. albeit a rookie one, gives ME hope that "proven" methods are being taught and the expectations are being reworked. Sparano has spoken of all the new guys.. guys coming from WINNING programs, guys who KNOW how to believe and work as a team. Now, unlike the last several coaching staffs, I HAVE to believe that Bill has put together a staff he believes will cement his own legacy. There is MUCH at stake here for him.. he can take his legacy up over the top.. or just become another in a long line of losers that couldn't ressurect the Miami Dolphins.
Gee, Armando seems to be a glass half empty sort, doesn't he ?? All the same, he's right...we have all questions right now rather than answers and that's what this time of year is for... That said, my sentiment, like others here, is that we at least have the organization in place (if not the players) to make a change in the direction this franchise has been going...The players will come too...in time... All that said, a big part of being a fan of a team is that hope going into TC that the team will do well...so Armando...shut up !
