Dolphins to win the AFC East

That's right Fin's fans, and it's not me saying it.

NFL.com's Gil Brandt, during a live chat, predicts the Dolphins will win one of the NFL' s toughest divisions. "I think the Dolphins will be in first place in the AFC East come Week 17." He went on to touch on the obvious keys to the Dolphins success including the health of Ronnie Brown and the continued development of Chad Henne.

Too little credit?

The Dolphins acquired perhaps the top two talents in this off-season shuffle in WR Brandon Marshall and LB Carlos Dansby. Henne now has a monster on the outside to open up the field for the other weapons and Dansby, a tackling machine, will be there in the middle to limit the run and help new DT Randy Starks. They used all but one pick (recently signed OL John Jerry) in this years draft to focus on the defense. There are still questions at OLB and FS but the coaching staff feels good about their options in Cameron Wake and Chris Clemons.

Despite these upgrades the majority of football "experts" are going with Brady and the Pats. Still others are being swept up in the hoopla that is Rex Ryan and choosing the upstart Jets as an early favorite to win the division.

Have the Dolphins done enough? Let's hope so.
