So I posted a fanshot about a week ago about my Bold Predictions for the Season. I really enjoyed writing it, so I decided to start doing it weekly but better. I decided to find some evidence to support my bold and crazy predictions, some stats,videos, examples, etc. I know before I might have went overboard a little bit with some of the predictions, so this time Im going to make predictions within reason. Anyways lets begin this journey of predictions, I hope you all enjoy and I appreciate any feedback.

1. Chad Henne will not only have his second 400 yard passing game of the season but will also have a career day in which he will pass over 417 yards and at least 3 touchdowns.

In 2010 The Houston Texans were not just bad in pass defense, they were atrocious. They were dead last in the league, giving up an average of 267.5 yards per game, that is a whopping 4,280 yards for the year through the air. They also allowed an average of 26.7 points per game which accumulates to 427 points on the season. So pretty much Houston's Defense made any quarterback that faced them look like a pro bowl QB. Our Offense in now an aggressive, attack first offense with alot of speed and talent. Our new offense reminds that of a New Orlean Saints offense, which last year averaged 277.6 yards per game. I believe Henne is starting to become more confident, and develop chemistry with his receivers, tight ends and running backs which will result in Chunk Yardage/Big Plays. Our last advantage and reason why I believe Henne will have a career day is Jason Allen, no need to say more. But I will, Allen as we all know was horrible against well pretty much anybody, especially quick or speedy receivers; so we should see pretty favorable matchups if he has to cover Hartline, Bess, Bush, or Gates.

2. Reggie Bush will have his Miami Dolphin breakout game, accumulating 150 + all purpose yards against this Texan Defense.

As I mentioned previously Henne is developing chemistry with his offense, and considering Bush is probably our X-Factor I believe he has a huge day, especially with his work ethic. I don't really have any stats to back that up except the ones previously stated but I do have this (cross fingers and hope this works)

3.The Dolphins beat the Texans (so this one isn't really Bold)

As I stated the Dolphins Offense is going to put up big numbers. And I think there is no way that our Defense is going to put up another game of lackluster, and embarassing play as we did last week especially the very next week. I believe that our Offense will shine this week and our Defense will hold enough that we will get the victory.

Well I think the answer is obvious, Any team can beat any team on any given sunday, and in fact Im going to go off subject and make two bold predictions The Lions get the upset of the week over the Jets, and Buffalo gets its first win of the season against the struggling bears. Now onto business, Yes we can beat the Ravens, and this is why we will.

1. The Dolphins have yet to lose on the road(4-0), I know its in baltimore where the ravens are 3-0 but I still believe this an advantage for us.

2. Sean Smith and Vontae Davis will shutdown Balitmore's receivers and/or limit the big plays. It feels great to be able to look on the field and see that the Dangerous Duo at Cornerbacks are back together. You gotta love the determination and confidence "The Davis Danger Zone" has, after allowing Ochocinco to catch I think it was 2 passes, Davis said that it was a waking call for him and he refused to allow him to make anymore catches. Ever since Jason Allen  got exposed in the Jets game I have been worried about this secondary, now that he is benched in favor of Smith I feel confident. Smith is going to be fighting this week to prove his worth so that makes this duo even more dangerous.

3.Cameron Wake will get at least 1 sack and enough hurries to frighten Joe Flacco into making costly mistakes.

4. As Matty already stated the ravens have allowed 330 passing yards per game in their last 3 games,  So I believe Chad Henne and this offense will capitalize on this and have success through the air.

5. This one goes with number 4, but thought it was important enough to deserve its own number. Brandon Marshall will have his breakout game. Idk if any of you heard during last weeks game, but the announcers were talking about how Marshall looked up his stats and seen that he was ranked 61st in yards after catch, and how he wants to prove that he is a better receiver then that.  If you also noticed he then became almost a transformed player, every time he got the ball he stiff armed the defenders and really fought for the extra yardage and was also a few times a shoe lace away from making a huge gain and possible touchdown. So I believe with Marshall playing with this chip on his shoulder that this weeks game is and will be the perfect place to prove just how great Marshall is and get us the win.

These are my five reasons, what do you guys think? comments much appreciated, and hopefully good enough for at least one rec?

1.Home Field Advantage- Its not only at home, but our first home game of the season, and the fact that we have won 2 straight games will pump up us fans even more and give us a huge home field advantage.

2. Orange Jerseys- We are undefeated in our orange jerseys (3-0)

3. Revis is Out- Revis Island will be officially extinct this week, Darelle Revis injured his hamstring in week 2 against the Patriots and will not play against the Dolphins this week. So Antonio Cromartie will most likely go against Brandon Marshall which should be good considering that the two faced each other before and twice last year Marshall had 18 catches against Cromartie and the Chargers secondary.

4.Jake Long vs Mike Devito- So we all probably know by now not only is Jake Long a beast up front and one of the best if not the best Left Tackle in the NFL but also last week manhandled Jared Allen who is a consistent pro bowler. Devito is not on the same page as Allen, maybe not even the same chapter so Jake Long should be dominant as usual.

5. The Henne-Marshall Connection- In the first week we seen Marshall have 8 catches in his dolphin debut, and in the previous game against the Vikings Marshall caught a beautiful 46yard catch from Henne. We are starting to see this duo form a connection and I believe with Revis being out that this tandem comes to life.

6.Cameron Wake and Koa Misi Vs Jets Offensive Line- So we know that the Jets OLine is good for rushing yards but when they pass which they will need to alot I don't believe they will be able to handle both Wake and Misi, they both are explosive,powerful determined and just amazing pass rushers. Cameron Wake is just an overall beast and should have at least two sacks this week, I love this defensive tandem.

7. Vontae Davis and Jason Allen Vs Jets WRs- I personally am falling in love with Davis as a player, he is quick, powerful, stays with any WR he matches up against, is a hard hitter and has great hands. Brett Farve even mentioned that he was pretty much scared to throw it towards him because of how talented he is. And Jason Allen somehow went from a bust to a dominant CB and made this Secondary one of the best in the league thus far.

8. Karlos Dansby- I don't need to say much about him, he is a leader, he is always around the ball, breaks up passes, had that amazing sack against the Bills in week one, had the Game saving tackle last week and just seems to always make plays when this team needs it.

9. R&R Express- So earlier I mentioned about how Jake Long is going to dominante Devito, well now I wanna give props to the rest of the O-Line. Did anybody see how well rookie John Jerry did against that Aggressive d-line? Or Incognito? or Berger? or Carey? they dominated one of the best D-Lines in the NFL and managed to open holes for the R&R Express. This week we have a simiilar task but maybe a little easier, and as long as Ricky and Ronnie hold onto the ball Im sure we can have a great day running the ball.

10. Sanchez Will Make Mistakes- I believe with Strength of our team being the defense that Nolan will dial up some plays that will consistenly pressure Sanchez and will have many great side effects, for example I expect there to be at least 4 sacks on Sanchez; as well as at least one interception whether its by Davis, Allen, or Dansby, or whoever else steps up. This will get into Sanchez's head and cause many incomplete passes and/or interceptions. We only allowed 2 touchdowns this far and both have been within the redzone. One was the result of miscommunication and the other a fumble by Ricky Williams.

Summary

Ok, so by now you have seen a million of these posts, free agency, trades, draft, etc. So I figured I would take a turn and put my opinion out there. I was on espn and came across this story and my mind began to wander to how the dolphins could take advantage of this need.

http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcsouth/post/_/id/8420/panthers-may-have-trouble-finding-no-2-wr

Ok, so we have all heard about possibly getting Anquan Boldin for a third round pick, and that Greg Camarillo is the odd man out of our Wrs, he has one of the most consistent hands in the NFL, so I thought, trade our 3rd round pick and Akin Ayodele and get Boldin. Then Trade Cam 2 the Panthers for hopefully a 3rd or 4th round pick, then we addressed our Wr problem 4 now.

Release Reggie Torbor, and JP(we already know hes gone)

And then sign Dansby, sign either  Gary Brackett( the colts wont franchise him ), Larry Foote or Scott Fujita ( this addresses our LB problem)

Release Gibril Wilson

Sign Antrel Rolle

Trade down and get Dan Williams, draft Morgan Burnett, Carlton Mitchell, Ryan Matthews, Pat Angerer, Kavell Conner, and Andrew Quarless.

So yeah, I think if we can make these changes then we will be a playoff contender.

Seriously can U imagine Dansby, Brackett, Rolle, Wake, Dan Williams, along with Smith and Davis as our D?  Plus Nolan as the D coordinator, wow that would be a sick team.

And then on the Offensive side,  Henne having Boldin 2 throw 2 and then Ricky, Ronnie and Ryan  running the ball. As well as  Hartline and Bess as receiver, I think we would be the team 2 beat in the Afc, I know it wont happen, but just let a few of these happen and Ill be happy. Anyways wut do U guys think?

Ok, so I would love to see Eric Berry slip to us, but realistically that probably won't happen, so I wanna focus on three other safeties  we can get probably in the second or third round.

Nate Allen- Height: 6-2  Weight: 206   40 Yd: 4.50

Strengths: Ball Hawk, Smooth Motion, Great Instincts, Tough, Consistent Tackler, Great Motor, Closes Fast

So, I personally think we should get Burnett, but what do you guys think?

(since my last post wasn't that good, figured id step it up a notch,lol)

 LT was released by the Chargers!!!
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/football/nfl/02/22/tomlinson.ap/index.html

Ok, I know he is old and everything, but  I got six reasons why we should sign him.

1) Ricky Williams is going to retire after this year

2) Were not sure what is going to happen with Ronnie Brown, He is coming back from a season ending injury and should be back to a 100 %, but what if he isn't? and his contract expires next year since there is like 2 weeks to reach an agreement and prevent this from becoming an uncapped year.

3) Our O-Line is one of the most Beastly lines in the NFL,  so we can make LT into a pro bowler for one or 2 more seasons possibly

4) We are on our way to being a playoff contender

5) He will help mend the bleeding in the questionable Runningback position on our team

6) He would help bring leadership to the younger Rbs especially if we draft Spiller or another Rb this year

Does anybody else think that he would look good in a Dolphins uniform?

Just let me know what you think, Opinions much appreciated.

So since we are discussing possibilities in the draft and free agency I figured I would cast my opinion on someone I think we should draft.

I think we should go D most of the draft but I think in the second round we should pick Arrelious Benn from Ilinois. He has good speed and good hands, and can return and break tackles. It's just my opinion on him, you guys know more, what do you think?  btw here is some highlights of him, I think he could be a real playmaker for us.

Ok, So the hot topic now a days is who will replace Paul Pasqualoni as the Dolphins Coordinator,  right now I think the favorite is Al Groh. But I just wanted to see what you guys think about Pepper Johnson becoming the new D-coordinator. He's been coaching on the Pats since 2000,  As first the Inside linebackers coach from 2001-2003, then was moved to defensive line coach in 2004. So he is part of the Belicheck tree, but also has that Parcells connection. Johnson was drafted and played for the Giants when Parcells was coaching them in 86. So he has that Parcells connection that you need 2 work on the coaching staff here, and has been pretty successful thus far, So what do you guys think of that idea? I know the Giants want him as there new D-coordinator too, but I think if Parcells called him up and asked if he wanted 2 work 4 the Dolphins then I'm sure he would love 2 join his old coach here in Miami, but then again just a thought.

Ok, so obviously most of us agree that Wide Receiver is probably our most glaring need. So I looked up what receivers will be free agents next year and decided to post some recievers I'd like 2 see the phins go after, so here it is, let me know what you think.

OBVIOUS EYE CATCHERS

1.Vincent Jackson- San Diego seems to like him too much to let him go, I think they will franchise him or extend his contract.

2. Brandon Marshall- Due to his off the field issues I don't think parcells will pick him up, but would love to see henne to marshall

3. Hines Ward- Can't imagine Ward in any place but Pittsburgh, but maybe porter can convince him to come?

LESS-KNOWN POSSIBILITIES

Jason Avant

Steve Breaston

Antonio Bryant

Lee Evans-Imagine Evans getting signed by us and have that welker effect on the bills, lol.that would be great.

Michael Jenkins

Kevin Walter

Brian Finneran

Mark Clayton

I know the second group isn't exactly a group of true number one receivers, but they all are better receivers then anyone currently on our roster. And have enough talent to give Henne some weapons, I really hope we get one or more of these recievers. I think we should get two or three free agent receivers and then draft someone like Dez Bryant. We could probably get Jason Avant and/or  Steve Breaston for cheap. Would love to get Mark Clayton and Steve Breaston and then either Lee Evans or Brian Finneran or Kevin Walter. Just wanted to post that and see what you guys thought, anyone else agree?

So the last two games it looked like wildcat has been sleeping,  The Saints were able to shut it down because of their talent but th jets???? How did we let the Jets shut us down without there best D lineman on the field??? Our O-line played terrible this past week.  The Jets held us to 54, yes only 54 yards, which drops us down  from number 1 to number 4 in rushing yards.  To be honest the way our rushing game has been playing these past two weeks the pats game scares me out of my mind.  I honestly believe we have the best runningback duo in the NFL with Ricky  and Ronnie and we got Louisaka Polite who is just a beast of a fullback.  If our line can get back into gear and be the line that has been destroying teams since the Atlanta game then we can pull off an upset against New England.   But still the thing that scares me is that the strength of our team is the rushing attack which you can tell when we play back to back poor rushing games and still are ranked 4th in rushing. So this is a callout  to the O-line Wake Up so the  R&R Express can roll into town and through New England the way we did against the Colts. The stat that comforts me the most is that New England is ranked 15th against the run and I know we can run it down their throat as long as our O-Line shows up. And for some reason no matter how good New England is we always make it close.   Now what I hope for is that we sign Chambers, which would give us an advantage in my opinion cause Chambers is a Pats Killer, along with JT.  Now if the dolphins will be smart they will put Wake in on the opposite side of JT and watch the sacks pile up, Brady still has nightmares about Jason Taylor so even if he doesnt get through he still will be worried  and then wake will come in with a huge day.  Anyways I'm going to take a leap of faith and say Ginn makes at least one huge play on special teams and makes The Patsies Special Teams look stupid.
