They were high on Long, Merling (strong at point of attack), Henne (suspected by this time next year he will be the Dolphins starting QB but I think it was made before Pennys extention). Didn't mention Langford whom I think had a pretty decent rookie year. Mentioned that when you hire BP you hire a plan and that will echo.

"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

Donald Thomas will be a starting guard in this league. I actually think that Langford is already good.

Agreed, to be honest I think Langford had a better rookie season than even Merling. He played the run a little better than Merling did.

Did I miss something?!?!

Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin

I have not heard of any extension of Pennington's contract.:confused2:

Last I heard about that was when Sparano hinted that he wanted Chad to be with Miami long-term, whether that be coach or player. I haven't heard anything about him and Miami agreeing to an extension though.

That just gets me even more excited about this year! That good a draft with another on the way? How could you not be excited?

Looks like Belichick is in panic mode a little to me with all the FA activity. He better start worrying about there line because the Dolphins are gonna be BIG-TIME pressuring Brady! Just imagine JP and Wake (though I'm not writing off Roth) coming at him from both sides with Merling and Langford collapsing the pocket! Wes better watch going across the middle now too with Bell and Wilson sitting back there waiting to take someone's head off...

just not forget we had the 1st overall pick last year and drafted 1st in every other round, this time we almost pick last in every round, so ireland really has to work his magic this time

Don't forget the 2nd rounder we got from Washington?
I think the trifecta have a definite plan for the draft and don't use the baloons with a dart board that used to be used.
