Around SBN: Tiger Woods, Tony Romo Grouped Together At Pebble Beach

In just 15 hrs the anticipation will be over

The anticipation that started when last season ended with the dolphins having a 1-15 record. Yet we all had hope because we had Bill Parcells was sitting in the sky box evaluating everything just waiting to pounce on this Dolphins team mold it into a fresh new team that we all have been wanting for so many years.

Everybody here (myself included) had no expectations from this team in 2008 because we are in "rebuilding mode" and we either traded or released all of the older players that we had grown to love and depend on through the years, and inserted  promising youth in their places. 5-11 or 6-10 is basically what everyone was expecting anything else is icing on the cake because we are "rebuilding".

Then the first game Preseason rolls around and it was better than I expected on Defense, but exactly what I expected on Offense. We Insert Chad Penny into the Offense in the second Preseason game and all of a sudden we have a very efficient Offense throughout the rest of Preseason. Not great but efficient. But efficient enough when combined with the way our defense played ( ranked 2nd in total defense) throughout the preseason I start to second guess my original thoughts of 5-11 or 6-10.

Now Im feeling 8-8 or 9-7 (with the possibility of a playoff berth) is actually realistic. Maybe Im just a homer (like every other year) but I feel this team really has the potential to do a lot of damage this year. Who would've thought that we would have any hope for this year after trading / releasing ZT and JT.

But tomorrow after the game we should have a good indicator of how good this team really is and if preseason was just  "preseason".

What do you guys think? .Are we gonna kick ass and take names this year or are we just gonna just be happy with 5-11 or 6-10 because we are "rebuilding".

This game

will be a great gauge of where our team stands IMO.

I’ve read a lot of articles about NY but I think they greatly improved themselves this offseason on the lines and with Pace and Favre regardless of what Gholston does or doesnt do this year.

Favre is very capable when he has players around him and he has quite a few weapons and a lot of options on this team.

I’ll take a 1 point win but I hope we embarrass them.

Chomping at the bit

I’m just waiting for my sports bar to open so I can go……I’m like a fart in a skillet right now! I really feel good about today. But more importantly, I feel good about this year, and years too come. If we stumble, or come out of the blocks good, regardless, we are onto something “new” for our beloved Dolphins.

For those about too Rock….
I salute you!!!!

GO DOLPHINS!!!!
