http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d80f2566f&template=without-video-with-comments&confirm=true Miami has been the still water amid the splashing waves throughout the rest of the division. But the Dolphins got things rolling during the 2008 season by making the Wildcat formation an NFL staple and rallying from a 1-15 mark in 2007 to claiming the AFC East title and a playoff berth in 2008. So, technically, everyone else is catching up. Now there is T.O. There is always change in the NFL, but this is a division that witnessed Miami and New England win 11 games, New York nine and Buffalo seven. It was the best division, top to bottom, in the AFC, so not much was wrong. Yet, unlike a relatively dormant NFC South, where teams posted the best win-loss record in the league, the AFC East has been trying to upgrade with bold moves that could generate results or set a franchise back for years to come.
that dormant NFC South features a team that has been completely ripped apart in Tampa, a team that was strapped with huge salaries to pay between Gross and Peppers in Carolina, a team that will likely do most of its building through the draft in Atlanta, and then you've got the Saints, who seem to be stuck in neutral. If they can't muster a top defense in the next few years, they are a waste of offensive firepower.
