The team with the most talent wins. Isn’t that usually right? Isn’t that how it often works?

The Dolphins are so talented they can relegate former first-round pick Charles Harris to the second-string defensive line at the start of the current training camp. They’re so good that Andre Branch, whose salary cap cost of $10 million is the second-highest on the team, is also on the second-team defense along with Harris.
