The Dolphin Churn


With the latest turn of events since the final cuts, we now have 20 new players on the team since last years final cuts. Does this seem excessive to you or are we still in the rebuilding phase of the 3 year project? I know we were just 1-15 just 3 short years ago, but i thought we had a good necleus last year, we just happended to be bitten by the injury bug, imho.

Of the 20 new players, 9 are offense and the other 11 on the defense side of the ball. I can understand the turn rate on the defense with our trouble last year, but that is almost half of that unit being replaced. Is that something to worry about. I think so. Will these guys take time to get used to each other, do we have the time to let this happen?

We now have (10) Rookies and (10) 2nd year players on the team. That is pretty young...
