What's new
Offense: No offensive unit was criticized more during the last two seasons than the wideouts. And now, no unit has higher expectations. The Dolphins' passing game is expected to make a huge leap, primarily as a result of the Marshall acquisition. Marshall should provide the aggressive punch and yards-after-catch the Dolphins have lacked.
Marshall's presence also gives young quarterback Chad Henne the opportunity to flourish. Coordinator Dan Henning still can find ways to make Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams effective on the ground, but he'll have more flexibility with play-calling with Marshall in the mix.
Breakout player
Brian Hartline, WR: Hartline was a rookie on a struggling passing team, but that didn't keep him from showing his potential early. He was responsible for four of the team's six biggest pass plays, and his growth should continue with Marshall the focus of opponents' coverage schemes.
