Look at some of the bigger upsets... look at what has worked against the Patriots. Getting after the quarterback. Do you think it's a coincidence that round 1 had a HUGE number of pass-rushers? How do you protect yourself from that?
You can't *just* copy in the NFL. That'll leave you in catch-up mode forever. Teams have seen that pass rushing is the way to beat some of the great teams and everyone is beefing up their pass-rush. If you want to win, you need to think one step ahead and realize that -- and get some protection.
Granted, a good quarterback is a very big piece and something the Dolphins don't have right now. I'm still hopeful Henne will step up, but he's running out of chances.
Very nice post, and I agree. Only thing I'd add is I'd like Henne to step up, but I'd also like to get a Vet QB to compete with him.
