Are the Dolphins going to win just one lousy game this year?
The answer is NO!
The Miami Dolphin's roster looks something like this:
Quarterback
They brought in John Beck last season and this year they drafted Chad Henne from Michigan and signed Josh McCown from the Raiders.
Starter at the beginning of the season: Josh McCown
Starter half way through the season: John Beck, because they want him to grow as an NFL QB.
Half back
They traded second year pro Lorenzo Booker to the Eagles on the day of the NFL draft. They have Ronnie Brown who is still a stud, Ricky Williams who will be a decent number two RB, and Patrick Cobbs as the third string runner.
Starter at the beginning of the season: Ronnie Brown
Starter half way through the season: Ronnie Brown, because he gives the best ability each week of the season.
Full back
Reagan Mauia a sixth round pick a year ago and will be the frontrunner for this position. He played in every game last year, but only ran the ball four times. They picked up Boomer Grigsby from the Kansas City Chiefs.
Starter at the beginning of the season: Reagan Mauia
Starter half way through the season: Reagan Mauia, just because he was on the team last season.
Wide receiver
They lost veteran Marty Booker to the Chicago Bears. They still have last year’s overall ninth pick Ted Ginn Jr., underachieving third-year receiver Derek Hagan, and young veteran free-agent signee Ernest Wilford.
Beyond those three are two journeymen in Greg Camarillo and David Kircus. They brought in Karl Dorell who was the head coach of UCLA to be the WR coach this year. He coached Rod Smith and Ed McCaffrey in Denver.
Starters at the beginning of the season: Ted Ginn Jr. and Ernest Wilford, that will give them the combination of speed and size.
Starters half way through the season: Ted Ginn Jr. and Derek Hagan. Ernest Wilford is not fast enough and we have seen that in his years in Jacksonville.
Tight end
David Martin played in 15 games a year ago and scored only two touchdowns. They traded with Dallas to get former second round pick Anthony Fasano.
Starter at the beginning of the season: Anthony Fasano, because he played under Parcells in Dallas.
Starter half way through the season: Anthony Fasano, he will surprise people and prove he is worthy to start.
Offensive line
First pick overall Jake Long will start LT, free-agent Justin Smiley from the 49ers will start LG. Center Samson Satele will be solid. Look for rookie T Shawn Murphy to move to RG. Finally at RT will be Vernon Carey, a former first round pick.
Starters at the beginning of the season: Same as above.

You do realize that they will be doing a 3-4? Also, my money's on Goodman to start at corner next to Will Allen and all reports are that Bell is a lock a safety (and stays there unless he gets injured again).
