Kirk Barton and Drew Atchison may be the surprise that the Miami Dolphins are looking for although I am thinking that Sparano is looking for a gradual improvement over the years instead of a total victory in the Super Bowl. Kirk Barton and Drew Atchison are good players and they have the potential to help the Dolphins. At least Kirk Barton once to get started since he once lived in South Florida and has been a lifetime Dolphin Fan. Kirk Barton still has emotional ties to South Florida in the form of family and friends. One of the friends of Kirk Burton is Ted Ginn Jr. who is a former Ohio State University Teammate. Ted Ginn Jr. is currently a wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins. It appears that there is plenty of motive to celebrate but it is still premature to do so.
While I am not surprised about the changes in the roster, we must remember that the Arizona Cardinals defeated the San Francisco 49ers with Fitzgerald going strong. The Arizona Cardinals also won by throwing the ball and running it with the clock continually ticking or as it is said in their website: “Bleeding The Clock”. What the Miami Dolphins have to do and it has been repeated many times is to use teamwork. The Miami Dolphins have a good offense and defense which was not used in their opening game against the New York Jets. The Miami Dolphins must work together instead of each player playing a different game. The Miami Dolphins must put the Arizona Cardinals on the defensive and if possible maintain possession of the ball and the game. The Miami Dolphins must play a Physical Game and not underestimate the opposition. The Miami Dolphins must also take advantage and “bleed the clock” if all goes wrong. The Miami Dolphins must win this game otherwise any changes in the roster will be worth nothing.
