2013 NFL Preview - Miami Dolphins
Does sophomore Ryan Tannehill may take the Dolphins ahead?
Began a series of preview of the 2013 season by the NFL New England Patriots. Today, we continue our tour of the AFC East, to talk about another team quite well known in Brazil, the Miami Dolphins.
For a few years now, the Miami Dolphins became a laughing stock and derision around the NFL, and to some extent with some justice. Not just for being a bad team, such as the Browns is so persistent, but always seem to take the wrong decisions and make the mistakes that everyone loves to point. Moreover, this perception becomes stronger when we look at the lack of recent success of the team: the last time the Dolphins been to the playoffs was in 2008, and even then it was largely because the Patriots played one full season without Tom Brady. Then the Miami franchise turned an easy target for criticism, and has since received.
This does not make the criticisms are totally fair or deserved. The Dolphins have avoided that bottomless pit in which teams like Browns and Jaguars still struggle to escape, and has managed to maintain some reasonably competent teams since 2008, often flirting with 8-8. The big problem was that management team always seemed to be changing the goals and focus, and wanting to grab more than you should: First made ​​headlight going after Jim Harbaugh, the coach was talking about what the team lacked, and was rejected. Then he spoke too of Peyton Manning, the savior of the team, and was also empty handed. Matt Flynn idem.
Será que Ryan Tannehill e Lamar Miller conseguem levar o Dolphins aos playoffs?
