Chad Henne swears he has confidence, playmakers but does anyone believe him?

The situation the Miami Dolphins (0-2) find themselves in is unprecedented. The once loyal fan base has grown completely disinterested due to being subjected to years of football irrelevance and there is close to no confidence in any of the four power positions in a professional football franchise (owner, GM, head coach and QB). Not to mention little job security aside from Stephen Ross.

Chad Henne, however, still has faith that the Dolphins can salvage the 2011 season that seems destined to be a disaster.

"We expect to win and we will in these next couple of weeks," Henne said with Joe Rose on WQAM in Miami. 

Not so fast, Henne. 

The Dolphins are about to embark on a three game road trip and yes, this Sunday's date with the Browns certainly seems winnable but has this team shown anything that makes anyone believe that they can beat the Chargers in San Diego and show up for a prime time contest with the Jets in New York after their bye week?

That would leave them at 1-4 through the first five games and if Greg Cote's sources are correct, they'd also have an interim head coach.

Henne also said the team has "a lot of playmakers, a lot of great players."

Great. Where are they?

Time to show up.

Otherwise Tony Sparano will be unemployed, Henne will be bound to hold a clipboard the rest of his career and GM Jeff Ireland will rejoin his pal Bill Parcells on ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown to tell the millions watching exactly how to build a winning NFL franchise.... 20 years ago.
