Dolphins/Chiefs Preview

The Phins got the Chiefs tonight, a game that will run on ESPN. Trent gets the start against his former mates, much to the dismay of the growing number of Lemonheads.

I'll be watching:

1) The quarterbacks. Trent Green didn't make any friends in his first outing, and Cleo won the world over and is now making a late push for a 2008 presidential nomination with his five-completion performance against the Jags.

2) The offensive line. Rex Hadnot and Vernon Carey are all but locks for starting spots, but I still want to see how they'll perform the rest of the preseason. If these guys suck ass, we're in some serious trouble.

3) Chris "Fu$&ing" Chambers.

4) Ronnie "Fu#%ing" Brown.

5) The battle between rookie Reagan Mauia and Cory Schlesinger. I know the idea of handing off to the fullback is a CRAZY idea, but I'd like to see these two get some opportunities in short-yardage situations, especially third-downs.

6) Basically the entire offensive unit.

7) Can the secondary keep up with Canton-bound Eddie Kennison and Rod Gardner? These guys are young, can fly and put up big numbers. (Note: None of these statements are true.)

I'll probably take in the first half. Expect some comments tonight.

Late addition: ESPN.com has a story up about tonight's game and (surprise, surprise) Green's return to KC. Did you know Trent Green used to play for the Chiefs, a team located in Kansas City? That's what the "KC" stands for.
