So after some really terrible seasons, the Miami Dolphins have reintroduced themselves back into the National Football league. They haven't been in the playoffs with a winning season since 2001 and in that time they lost to the Baltimore Ravens in the wild card round. It was almost like the Dolphins received their own type of curse like the Cubs and RedSox face in baseball.

Since the days of Don Shula and Dan Marino, the Miami Dolphins have gone through so many changes to players, coaching staff, and even front office staff. It just seemed like they couldn't catch a break. After the last two years of huge loses for the team, they made significant changes in the 2008 season to bounce back the organization.

The Dolphins added one of the toughest and smartest football minds as their GM which happens to be Bill Parcels. He turned the organization around with changes to the coaching staff, adding Tony Sparano and picking up players around the league that made the teams short game the winning game. The Dolphin organization traded for Chad Pennington, who has had trouble with injuries in the past but still remained to be a quarterback that made smart decisions with limited mistakes on the playing field.

With all the new additions to the lineup one thing that turned the loses to wins was the change in play calling. The Dolphins brought out its new Wildcat formation with two of the top and most frightening guys in the backfield, Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown. They have both been known for confusing the defense and making big running plays. Converting first downs and putting points on the board has become a standard for the Miami Dolphins. Joey Porter and the rest of the outstanding defense definitely give the opposing team a lot of trouble when it's their time to have the ball.

As the season winds down, whether the Dolphins take it all the way or not there is one thing for sure, they finally rediscovered themselves and brought life back to South Florida fans. I'm sure all the fans hope that they get back to those Don Shula and Dan Marino days with some really historical wins and playoff runs.
