SITE: Dolphins Training Center, Davie, FL

CAMP OBJECTIVES: The Dolphins are widely expected to make a run at the AFC East title and a playoff berth this season, but that doesn't mean there aren't a significant number of question marks as the team begins camp. At quarterback, Daunte Culpepper (Vikings) comes off a major knee injury, is learning a brand new system under coordinator Mike Mularkey, and is bound to be rusty to boot. His backup, Joey Harrington (Lions) is also learning a new system and has struggled as an NFL starter. With Ricky Williams out for the year, second-year-pro Ronnie Brown will have to prove that he can thrive as the full-time ball carrier. The offensive line also has a few new faces that will vie for starting jobs, including guard Bennie Anderson (Bills), tackle L.J. Shelton (Browns), and tackle Mike Pearson (Jaguars). On defense, head coach Nick Saban has revamped the secondary, disposing of the likes of Sam Madison and Tebucky Jones and bringing in reinforcements such as first-round draft choice Jason Allen (Tennessee) and cornerbacks Will Allen (Giants) and Andre' Goodman (Lions). Establishing the depth chart in that area will be important for the Fins.
