The Dolphins went from 1-15 to 11-5 so 6-10 isn't surprising at all. It's not even like they were that terrible at 0-16, they had a few fourth Q leads and definitely have the talent to compete. It's not like they were blown out every single Sunday. Dare I say 8-8.

You're getting way too ahead of yourself if you believe 8-8. Maybe in the 2010-2011 season if everything clicks but they still have a little dilemna at quarterback and a defense that needs to step up if they want any shot at more than 4 wins.

Stafford has looked good, but he's a rookie and I'm not expecting much this year. The only other rookie that has caught my eye would be Aaron Brown. Looks like he could be a threat to take it the distance very often, especially if we can get him in some open space.

what round was Brown drafted in?

and btw, my fellow Bills fans have already ended this thread.

I loved him at TCU, I hope he kicks ass for Detroit. Totally underrated.

The only reason he got those 2 TDs were because of #42. On the first play, he took one of the worst angles I have ever seen. So out of place. And the 2nd TD he gets juked out of his shoes.

Aaron Brown looks good though.

It seems like this is turning into a "what are notable rookies on your team doing" thread, so here's my report on Colts rookies:

Donald Brown - Drawn a lot of comparisons to Maurice Jones-Drew, he's breaking tackles well and runs with some power. He makes a cut and goes. He and Addai should be good compliments to each other. The OL hasn't given him as many chances to actually run as you would like.

Fili Moala - He's improving but he hasn't looked very good so far. Gets too tall and pushed out of the play, which was a criticism at USC I believe. He's playing like he thinks he's still bigger and stronger than everybody. He's playing like a rookie. It's to be expected.

Austin Collie - Will probably be the WR3, in the slot. He reminds a lot of people of Brandon Stokely in his hey day.

Terrance Taylor - Hasn't done anything to distinguish himself, but hasn't sucked either. Will probably make the team.

Curtis Painter - Has shown significant improvement in each preseason game. I would much prefer him to Sorgi as the QB2. Rolls out too much and still skips passes in front of the receiver sometimes, but has also thrown some bullets into small windows, sometimes on the run.

Pat McAfee - Looks like Scifres on occasion. Not all his punts are bombs but he can really get it up in the air. He is an upgrade and worth the price paid to get him.

Browns CB Coye Francies told me at SJSU that Stroughter was the best WR he had ever covered, or try to cover in his yr. at Oregon St.
