Despite the fact that the start of the regular season is still about five months away, yesterday’s schedule announcement was met with plenty of enthusiasm and excitement. While many things will change for the Dolphins and the 13 teams they’ll face this year between now and September, there are still some definite storylines to examine. Below we do just that, beginning with the opener at Houston:
Week 1 at Houston: The Dolphins open the Joe Philbin era on the road with a chance to remove the goose egg from their all-time record vs.
Dolphins wide receiver Clyde Gates has started a BIM campaign through his twitter account (@EdmondGates). The BIM trademark means “Believe In Miami” and “Believe In Me” as the Dolphins second-year wide receiver/kick returner uses the slogans to raise team morale and unity. Gates has designed a line of T-shirts with the BIM logo which he has given to his teammates, including cornerback Vontae Davis (pictured with Gates).
The first thing that comes to mind when talking the cornerback position is playmakers! Guys that can truly change the way a offense attacks a defense. When you have a dominant player at this position, it makes an offense take notice of where that person lines up each and every play. It sometimes limits your offensive schemes and alters where and when to attack, unless you have a receiver that can match up with an equal skill set!
