Blog to return next week as Fins 2013 season begins July 21

Some people like a long vacation, especially after 100+ posts from July to January.

And yes, while I agree that some time off is needed, and welcomed, SEVEN freaking months is just way too long.

But alas, the hiatus ends in TEN days, folks.

Ten days until the Miami Dolphins officially open the 2013 season in Davie, FL with an 8 am scheduled practice.

Ten days until we really get to see just how much Ryan Tannehill has improved, and if the kid is ready to lead this team back to January.

Ten days until we get to see Mike Wallace go deep, Lamar Miller break away, Dannell Ellerbe be a force, and Brent Grimes be a ball hog.

Ten days until this much anticipated season begins to take shape.

I'll be doing my part to get us all ready, as I will be returning on a regular basis beginning sometime in the middle of next week with all new posts, analysis, predictions, and live practice updates.

It's been way too long since the last time we saw the Miami Dolphins on the field in a meaningful setting, seven months to be exact.  As the offseason draws to a close, however, I must admit it went by rather quick.

Lets hope the next 10 days goes by even quicker.

See you next week!
