Miami Dolphins Season Preview: Who Should Start?

The Miami Dolphins have struggled to regain the swagger they once held, having missed the playoffs every year since 2001.

The Dolphins come into the season with a new regime. New head coach Tony Sparano looks to bring glory to a once-proud franchise. Bill Parcells is now pulling the strings behind closed doors, looking to create a big, physical, and hard-working team.

It should not be much of a challenge to improve from last season, as the Dolphins went 1-15. Parcells is credited with turning around the New York Jets' and New England Patriots' struggling franchises.

Here are my predictions for the Miami Dolphins starting offensive and defensive teams...

Quarterback: Chad Pennington

Running Back: Ronnie Brown

Wide Receivers: Ted Ginn Jr. and Ernest Wilford

Tight End: Anthony Fasano

Offensive Guards: Donald Thomas and Justin Smiley

Offensive Tackles: Jake Long and Vernon Carey

Center: Samson Satele

Defensive Ends: Phillip Merling and Kendall Langford

Defensive Tackles: Jason Ferguson and Paul Soliai

Middle Linebacker: Channing Crowder

Outside Linebackers: Joey Porter and Charlie Anderson

Corner Backs: Will Allen and Travis Daniels

Strong Safety: Yeremiah Bell

Free Safety: Jason Allen

Kicker: Dan Carpenter

Punter: Brandon Fields

2008 season record: 5-11

It looks to be another mediocre year for the Miami Dolphins, but I believe in a few years this regime will bring the Dolphins back to the playoffs.
