08:06 AM ET 07.10 | Other than in 2007, Miami didn't have much worrying to do when it came to the strong safety position. Dolphins coaches penciled in Yeremiah Bell, made sure during training camp that he could still play, put Bell's name in pen, then moved on to something else. ... Now, after Bell responded to a cold, just-business cut from the Dolphins by coolly signing with the Jets, the question returns in addition to the annual question about free safety. And Reshad Jones might be the answer to either. ... "I think I'm progressing each year," Jones said. "Last year, I got my feet wet as far as being on the field and getting game reps. Now, I think I'm ready to take off and be one of the elite safeties in the game."

He may have meant the Dolphins' game. Then, he may be on to something.

Maybe they're onto something though. Eli called himself elite and he won another SB to prove it. Maybe by calling himself elite, Jones and the Fins will go 8-8.

LOL. You could be right, but I think after getting his feet wet last year, Jones should be prepared to get his pants wet this year when he sees Tim Tebow barreling toward him full speed.

If they go 8-8 they would finish higher than the the J-E-T-S.
