Finally, something to be excited about.
So camp has started and as expected, my prior pessimism is being overtaken by excitement about the upcoming football season. No, I don't expect the Dolphin's to be Super Bowl contenders. Nor do I have any fanciful playoff ambitions.
The fact is, I love the football season and can't wait to watch some games. Honestly there is not much better than football Sunday with a few cold ones. Add in some friends and/or family and I'm in heaven.
The expectations of years past are not there and because of it I may enjoy this year a bit more. We obviously have a team that is rebuilding. That aside I'm looking forward to seeing our new players. I want to see how Porter fits in with the Defense. Is that side going to dominate with Porter giving Taylor more freedom? How will Trent Green hold up behind a very shaky Offensive line? Will he be able to get the ball down field and open up some room for Ronnie Brown and Lorenzo Booker? Will Ronnie carry the load and have a breakout season?
I'm looking forward to seeing the development of Lorenzo Booker, Ted Ginn Jr, and John Beck. I also am looking for a good season from last years first round pick Jason Allen who should have a better year being able to focus on one position.
So there is a lot to look forward to and a lot of questions to be answered. I'm just glad we'll have some Miami Dolphin's football to look forward to very soon!
