CANTON, Ohio – When Nick Saban was asked Monday night if there had been any new revelations about his Miami Dolphins after a 27-24 loss to the Bears in the Hall of Fame game, he paused. Then he stared at his podium for a few seconds, finally rubbing his hand over his face.
Maybe he was collecting his thoughts. Or making a mental list. Whatever he was doing, he gave off the vibe of a frustrated parent who had learned his eldest child had dented the family car.
The preseason opener for both teams exposed some of Miami's dings – imperfections that Saban already knew were there. The real problem was that the first quarter (i.e., the really important 15 minutes) punctuated a reality that can only be fully grasped away from the practice field: The 2005 Miami Dolphins are probably going to suffer many of the same problems as the 2004 Miami Dolphins.
