Around SBN: Falcons Unable To Even Get A Pittance For Joe Horn Bar-right-arrows



ESPN ST Rankings

18. Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins have two reliable players handling their kicking duties in P Brandon Fields and PK Jay Feely. Fields is a steady performer, while Feely was an upgrade from the previously struggling Olindo Mare. Feely missed only two of his 23 attempts in 2007. The Dolphins must improve their coverage units, and with new head coach Tony Sparano emphasizing the kicking game, this area should have marked improvement. Ted Ginn Jr. showed he can handle both the punt- and kick-return duties and flashed speed in the open field. Miami lost some valuable core special-teams players in the offseason, but two athletes who will continue to be excellent on coverage units are Jason Allen and Edmond Miles.

I'm actually surprised that ESPN emphasized that we "should have marked improvement." It seems like all the other rankings were completely based off of last season.

In college, that guy blocked so many kicks! Weaker competition but still, he had about as many blocked kicks in his college career as some guys have sacks.
