The Miami Dolphins really couldn’t find a way to start or finish the season in 2009. The team had high hopes with Chad Pennington at the helm but it was quickly evident that Pennington would not be the key to their success. The team lost the first three games of the season and had nowhere to go but up.

The team did go up after those few games, winning 7 out of their next 10 games. The team looked as if it may even have playoff hopes heading into the home stretch. Unfortunately the Dolphins went on to suffer losses in their last 3 games and their playoff hopes were crushed.

The good news is that people are talking about the Dolphins as a contender once again. The team found out last season that Henne could be a productive quarterback and that Ricky Williams still had more than a little gas left in the tank. With Ronnie Brown back it looks as though they have a very dynamic rushing attack.

The passing game looks like it will be better than ever as well. The Dolphins have not had a true number one receiver in years and years, but with the acquisition of Brandon Marshall they have a guy that they can look to on every down. Marshall will catch the attention of defenses and should open up the passing attack in all directions.

The Dolphins showed that they had what it takes to win games last year. The only question is whether or not they can find consistency this year. The way the Dolphins start this season will be crucial.
