Marlon Moore for Six

A short time after making Austin Spitler a 1 million dollar back-up LB and securing 3rd string QB Pat Devlin, news has now come to pass that the Dolphins are going to let several of their restricted free agents hit the market come Tuesday.

Perhaps the biggest indication yet that the Dolphins are serious about adding at least one if not more WR’s, the Dolphins declined to tender Marlon Moore.  They have also declined to tender safety Jonathon Amaya, DB Bryan McCann, and ERFA Patrick Brown.

Another declined player, Jeron Mastrud could prove to be an indication that the team is looking for another TE.  Anthony Fasano has yet to be re-signed but there is word that he will be offered an extension.

The Clock is Already Ticking

For many reasons, the 2011 season will go down in franchise history as one of the most dismal ever recorded. Many are predicting the Fins to win no more than two games, and the biggest competition seems to be who will draft first overall and have an opportunity to draft Andrew Luck.

The inability of the defense to put any type of pressure has lead to even mediocre quarterbacks picking the secondary apart and record setting games. After three plus years the offensive line is still, well, “offensive”.  The change from Dan Henning to Brian Daboll as the OC is not even noticeable. The defense, highly ranked last year, has been a door mat even though it is primarily the same group of players. So, what can they do? Plan for next year, and here is how.
