A few days before the Dolphins played the Jets last week, coach Tony Sparano walked into a meeting room at the team's facility, where the defensive backs were breaking down game tape.
He had a message for four of them. Partly, a thank you. Partly, an acknowledgement.
''There have been a lot of changes around here,'' Sparano told them. ``But one of the few things that has been consistent has been you four guys. That's a credit to you.''
He was talking about how Yeremiah Bell, Renaldo Hill, Will Allen and Andre' Goodman have managed to endure together Miami's mass makeover in 2008. Impressive? Sure.
Renaldo Hill still sucks though.
