DOLPHINS: Here Come the Sour Grapes

What's the old expression about "winners keep quiet, losers hold  
press conferences?"

Rex runs a thug defense just like his Dad did. The Dolphins kept his  
old man from a perfect season; the 2009 Dolphins just exposed
the Jet defense for the rest of the league.

The best part of beating the thug defense is that Dan Henning uses 2  
TEs to offset the blitz. I'm not real smart but if you're the DC for
the other team, do you REALLY want them using 2 TEs in the Wildcat?

That's walking into a left hook....
