I know I'm probably biased, but I was reading this article in the USA Today by Skip Wood where he goes over Miami's entire depth chart, and somehow  (with the exception of the secondary), it didn’t sound all that bad. Do you agree? 

Quarterback: With the Trent Green experiment having gone terribly awry — as the Daunte Culpepper tango did a year earlier — the Dolphins are looking at a three-way competition for the starting job in what should be the primary focus in camp. Look for veteran Josh McCown to have an early edge, followed by second-year man John Beck and the possible long-term answer, rookie Chad Henne from Michigan.

Running back: They are coming off injuries, but Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams are expected to be at or at least near full strength come camp. Brown is entering his fourth season and was having a breakout 2007 before tearing a knee ligament. Williams — despite his many off-field foibles — remains a credible threat.

Wide receiver: Chris Chambers was shipped to San Diego during the 2007 season, so the heavy lifting for 2008 probably will fall to Ted Ginn Jr. and Ernest Wilford, who arrived as a free agent from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Finding depth will be pivotal.

Tight end: David Martin was unimpressive last season, though he was hampered by spotty quarterback play. Anthony Fasano arrived from the Dallas Cowboys in a trade and should get a chance to start.

Offensive line: This unit is as important as anything to new football CEO Bill Parcells, and the Dolphins look as though they'll make him happy. Jake Long was the first pick in the draft, and he'll play left tackle, freeing Vernon Carey to slide to right tackle. Samson Satele was the first Miami rookie to start 16 games at center a year ago. Free agent Justin Smiley will start at one guard spot.

Defensive line: Jason Taylor remains one of the game's premier pass rushers, but whether he remains a Dolphin is uncertain. He'll also probably be a linebacker in Parcells' 3-4 look. Newcomer Jason Ferguson is the likely nose tackle. Rookie end Phillip Merling was a nice draft pick, and Vonnie Holliday's best days probably are behind him. End Matt Roth should start and provide energy.

Linebacker: It's hard to believe Zach Thomas is gone, but gone he is. Joey Porter returns, and he had a strong second half of the season after being hobbled by an injury. Also back is Channing Crowder, and new blood has arrived in the form of Akin Ayodele and Reggie Torbor.

Secondary: Will Allen is set at one corner; he's the only guy in the defensive backfield who started all 16 games a year ago. Improvement is expected from Travis Daniels. There's a bit of a logjam at safety, with Yeremiah Bell the leader. Jason Allen, a 2006 first-rounder, needs to start making an impact.

Special teams: Everything is pretty much set. Reliable kicker Jay Feely returns, as does punter Brandon Fields. Ginn was solid as a returner last season but didn't strike fear into opponents — a — la the Chicago Bears' Devin Hester. Look for the Dolphins to put an increased emphasis on across-the-board special-teams play.

Coaching staff: In short, an overhaul. Gone is Cam Cameron, replaced by Tony Sparano, who's in his first major head coaching position. He spent the last five years with the Dallas Cowboys, primarily overseeing the O-line. Well-traveled Dan Henning is the new offensive coordinator, and Paul Pasqualoni takes over the defense.

Outlook: Let's see. New football czar, new general manager, new coach and new coordinators. A 1-15 record last season. All that talk about how, in today's NFL, franchises can go from awful to solid in the span of one season? Not here. Not now. Things probably will get considerably better, but only after a year or two.
