There is a huge disconnect going on with the Miami Dolphins. Only one side can be right. Can the other side be that wrong?
The Dolphins are acting like what you'd expect of a 10-win playoff team that thinks it got better. There is palpable confidence, a collective strut. With free agency and the draft past and training camp ahead, coach Adam Gase “has talked a little bit about feeling that swagger,” as defensive coordinator Matt Burke put it recently.
Gamblers, though, are not feeling swagger for the Dolphins, but rather seeing a stagger – a fast fall.
