Choosing an offensive lineman as a top 10 pick in the NFL draft is hardly an exact science. While the Miami Dolphins probably would send their sympathies to other teams that had linemen that were more bust than boom, they won't be apologizing for the success of Jake Lon ...

Everyone knows that the Miami Dolphins are 6-4 and are currently riding a four-game winning streak. Everyone also knows that they’re approaching a pivotal AFC East matchup against the New England Patriots that could determine their postseason destiny. It’s also fairly c ...

While many people will argue that the Dolphins and Patriots are far different, the truth is that the numbers show an amazing amount of similarities between the two. It's fitting as the two AFC East rivals, both 6-4, prepare to face off for the second time this season. ...

The Miami Dolphins' Ronnie Brown fumbled Sunday for the first time since 2006, killing a drive that seemed destined to produce points. The offensive line was uncharacteristically deficient in pass protection, and Chad Pennington was strangely unaware, leading to a costl ...

On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins play one of the worst teams in the National Football League – the Oakland Raiders. Dysfunctional doesn’t even begin to describe the Raiders' situation this season. On paper, this game should be a no-brainer. Miami (5-4) has won three strai ...

Other than turnovers, the great equalizer in football is field position. That's an area the Miami Dolphins, who have been far better than average on offense and defense, are getting killed at this season. Miami is giving up 28 yards per kick return, a full 3.0 yards wor ...

Many Dolphins fans will look at Sunday's 21-19 victory over the Seattle Seahawks and say they were outplayed or didn't deserve to win. Maybe so. But when you're coming off a 1-15 season, you will take a win any way you can get it. Let's not forget that this is the NFL. ...

One common thread that virtually all contending teams possess is the ability to win ugly games against teams that they should handle easily. Remember how many times the New England Patriots had to scramble from behind to win late against subpar opposition during their S ...

In the college ranks, USC Trojans head coach Pete Carroll is renowned for his intense practices, but there's no West Coast bias when it comes to hardcore workouts. At the NFL level, Miami is bringing the pain day in and day out. It starts with head coach Tony Sparano, a ...

Jason Allen was a first-round pick gone wrong who had switched from corner to safety and back again and had fallen so far that he couldn’t even make the starting lineup in an already godawful Miami secondary. Tyrone Culver was a late-round pick who was bounced from Gree ...

Sometimes it isn't about how many plays you make; rather, it's about when you make them. Miami Dolphins cornerback Will Allen can speak for that. He only has two interceptions this season, but his latest was a huge one that resulted in a 32-yard return for a touchdown. ...

Just nine games into the 2008 season, it’s clear that the Miami Dolphins have turned over a new leaf. Though still last in the AFC East with a 4-4 mark, the South Florida faithful can now dare to whisper the “P” word without being laughed into oblivion. Fresh off an imp ...

Chad Pennington has given the Miami Dolphins offensive respect at the quarterback position this season. Pennington, who was named the NFL’s Offensive Player of the Week after last Sunday's 25-16 upset over Buffalo, has settled things under center for Miami for the first ...

As far as Miami's wide receiver position goes, all the hype the past two seasons has been over 2007 first-round pick Ted Ginn Jr., especially after his 175-yard game against Buffalo last week. But one game doesn't make a No. 1 receiver. In reality, third-year man Greg C ...

On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins will attempt to even their record at 4-4, but they will have their work cut out for them as they travel to Denver to face a 4-3 Broncos squad that’s coming off a bye week and is chomping at the bit to break a two-game losing streak. Still, ...

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a Ted Ginn Jr. sighting. The 2007 first-round pick has been ripped, along with the team for picking him so early, and he seemed to be headed down the road to the Bust Hall of Shame. But Ginn Jr. saved some face in a great game against the B ...

When it wasn’t Ted Ginn, it was Joey Porter. When it wasn’t Joey Porter, it was Chad Pennington. When it wasn’t Chad Pennington, it was the Miami Dolphins’ secondary. Wait a second -- is it possible to mention Miami’s secondary and the word “playmaker” in the same brea ...

Sometimes dominant and sometimes horrible, the 2-4 Miami Dolphins have been quite inconsistent this season. They'll find out what they're really made of this weekend against AFC East rival Buffalo, which leads the division at 5-1. The game represents a crossroad for the ...

There are 101 topics of discussion as the Miami Dolphins head into Week 8 of the NFL season. There’s the release of former starting safety Chris Crocker. There’s the rumors and innuendo surrounding rookie quarterback Chad Henne. There’s the lingering rib injury affectin ...

The race to the playoffs starts this Sunday for the Miami Dolphins, who host the AFC East-leading Buffalo Bills in a game that is a must-win if the former wants a shot at the postseason. The 2-4 Dolphins trail the 5-1 Bills by three games in the division, and a loss on ...
