i like that they see Deion Calhoun sticking on the OL.

I really like the running back depth chart. 4 backs plus a fullback. Let's play some power football for once goddammit.

Agreed. Establish a tough identity - get rid of the pussified finesse offense. And, take pressure off the QB.

I hope Flores can do something with the D-line. That looks like a significant area of weakness again.

Let's hope Flores can scheme some sacks out of this bunch, maybe by using the LBs and the DBs more?

Yeah, at this point any pressure we generate will have to be schemed. We just don't have the horses in the front 7 yet. The good news: keep in mind that the Patriots aren't loaded with stud front 7 guys or top pass rushers either...they give up a ton of yards, but are always near the top in fewest points allowed. I don't think we'll be at that level this season, but it is an interesting thing to consider.

I just can't wait till next offseason...really looking forward to seeing how we use all the draft picks and cap space.

Creative pressure can make up for a lot of holes on defense. I hope that's how it translates to our new D philosophy.

Sounded like the D had their way with the O in goal line situations yesterday.

Fan better be ready to give Flores at least another year or two to get the team that he wants because there is no way he will get Miami into the playoffs this year IMO
