It'll be difficult. Unlikely. Against most odds. With six games left, the playoff possibilities come into focus and the Dolphins' bad start and significant injuries suggest it's a stretch to see them making it.

The man pictured above went on injured reserve on Wednesday , and he is at the very heart of what the Miami Dolphins are.

Two wins in five days have brought the Miami Dolphins back to the .500 mark. The team has shown promise as they look to make another miracle run at the playoffs.A What makes the last win so impressive is the big story with Ronnie Brown.

Brock Osweiler got his chance last week. Now it's Lex Hilliard's turn. On Nov. 14, Osweiler, who graduated from Flathead High School last year, became the first true freshman to start at quarterback for Arizona State University since Jake Plummer in 1993.

So much of sports is about roles. Nathan Jones, for instance, has great impact in his utility role in the secondary's nickle and dime packages.

All of Ricky Williams' coaches and teammates believe he has the stamina and strength to take on a bigger workload against the Panthers -- even at 32.

It is a beautiful day here today. Sunny. Temps in the high 50s. Great football weather.

Judging by the score, the Miami Dolphins' 30-25 win over the New York Jets last weekend appears to have been an offensive free-for-all. Not quite.

A Probably the most unusual statistic from week sevena TMs play, for me at least, was that only ONE game in the entire schedule was decided by less than seven points, . All other games had a margin of victory greater than seven points.

It's going to be around 90 degrees at kickoff down in Miami and the New Orleans Saints are wearing black jerseys.

Replacing running back Patrick Cobbs, out for the season with a torn knee ligament, on the Dolphins offense could be a combination of 240-pound Lex Hilliard and more Cobbs-sized Kory Sheets.

For the first time since being torched by three elite tight ends in their season-opening three-game losing streak, the well-rested Dolphins will have to deal with another premier tight end: the New Orleans Saints ' Jeremy Shockey .

Miami Dolphins coach Tony Sparano likes to be a man of mystery. His coy nature really comes to the forefront in two instances.

It's been well-documented how much coach Tony Sparano admires Patrick Cobbs. Sparano has spoken at length how, when he was with Dallas, he was always hearing about the exploits of Cobbs both at Tucumseh High School, where Cobbs rushed for 4,729 yards and had 61 touchdowns, and at North Texas, where he finished as the school's all-time leading ...
