Hey all, It's hard to believe it's time for another game, it seems as if we just got done with Jacksonville. Check back to this thread today and certainly during game time for updates, opinions and game discussion!
What do you expect from this game? Do we need to see anything more from Henne and Marshall, or the offense at all? I think the most important aspect of this game is what the defense can do, particularly the secondary. Matt Ryan and the Atlanta offense are very good, and very efficient. We did not do well controlling Tony Gonzalez last year Week 1. Our linebackers will have to prove that they can cover, and Sean Smith and Vontae Davis need to show us they are ready to be NFL starters.
By the way, don't forget the all new MDBW will be coming next month!!!!
Here is the Miami Dolphins Gameday Guide (which I will provide in all home game threads this season):
