Some serious Dolphins love from PFT

His number 1 takeaway from the early game was the dominance of our D (totally justified, in my opinion).

1. Miami's defense has been reborn. The decision to jettison Joey Porter andJason Taylor looks great. Cameron Wake has been flying off the edge, cornerback Vontae Davis looks like a Pro Bowler at cornerback, and Karlos Dansby has been a huge difference maker at linebacker.

Defensive coordinator Mike Nolan may have been the biggest offseason acquisition. Miami won in Minnesota despite two back-breaking fumbles by Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown. It shouldn't have been as close as the 14-10 score suggested.

Later in the article, we come up again when he discusses the Vikings (and whether they should be pushing the panic button yet).

Incidentally, Vikings fans should step off the ledge. Adrian Peterson looked strong, and Favre wasn't that far off despite his three picks. They lost to two quality teams.

It feels good to be getting some credit. Let's prove him right again next week!

That's the best part

Crowder and IAF haven’t even played a down.

Gonna take a fortnight at least to get this herd down to St. Louis on Mississippi. This glen's gonna be tough to traverse, and that river's got to be 50, 60 meters wide. And God knows how many fathoms. To hell with parliamentary procedure. We've got to wrangle up some cattles!

i think Ap is contained better with Crowder in

Agreed, Crowder would have helped immensely.

Complete?

Meh.. he’s done well, and should still rotate and Crowder on passing downs. We can’t underestimate Crowder’s impact on the run game from the inside.

Hopefully the chem. between dobbins and dansby remain the same with Crowder and IAF in there..

But who cares about the media…when people buy into what the media presents they get lazy..content…..and we’re hungry and humble. HOOOOOOOOOOOOWL!!!

NOOOOOOO

PFT saying this makes me question whether it’s all true!

"The first thing I do when I get out of bed and feel the jolt in my knees is think of Roy Winston. On the second step, my calcified Adam's apple starts bobbing, and I think of Carl Eller. A few more steps in the dark and it's Willie Lanier. By the time I get to the bathroom, I'm flashing back to Dick Butkus and Ray Nitschke. And when the light finally comes on, I just hope that somewhere in the darkness they're thinking of me, too" - Larry Csonka.
