You told me I was throwing the team under the bus?

I don’t know why I’m defending the Dolphins, but you guys are being WAAAAY too hard on them. I believe you had 3/4 of your secondary as Rookies because Clemons started. That’s going up against pretty much the same offense as the 2007 Patriots, which was pretty good. You can’t expect a team that went 1-15 two years ago to have elite players are every position. That’s what Parcells was brought in for. I’m sure the pass rush will be addressed in this next draft. Wake is gaining experience and will be VERY good. A lot of your current players have experience and will teach the younger players. The Phins will get a D-Line player with their first pick next year and he’ll be a stud. You guys are getting younger and getting deeper. You should be excited.

The issue isn’t with the secondary. It’s what you said. They weren’t penetrating into the backfield which gave one of the best QBs of all time (or a successful scheme player. Whichever you want) enormous amounts of time to throw to two of the best receivers in the game. And you expect the Pats offense to be shut down? Of course not.

Last year wasn’t a fluke, but it went better than it should have for the Dolphins. The team’s still a work in progress and will be great for years to come, but that progress continues for another year or two. Be patient. You have a good core and you will build from there.

At the Pulpit, we have a saying I’m sure you know. In Bill we trust. You should pick it up too. In Bill [Parcells] we trust. He knows what he’s doing. You build a team up from trench positions first, players who will be involved in every play (CBs, linemen) and then you get players who take the team to the next level (WRs, depth). The extra players are useless if your core is weak. You’re almost done building your core players and the depth will come in the next two years. Wait for it.
