These are the very unofficial Dolphins statistics after 8 games. I
have the following comments:

1. Dan Marino is on his way to another 4000+ yard season and I don't
see any reason that he can't make it.

2. Higgs was on pace for a 1000 yard season through the Colts game,
but I don't think he'll make it now.

3. Tony Paige leads the receivers in receptions, Mark Duper leads the
receivers in yards and TDs, and Tony Martin leads in yards per catch.

3. Bryan Cox leads the defense in tackles and has 10 sacks - tying the
record for sacks by a Dolphin linebacker for a season (which was set
by Charlie Bowser back in 1984), and we're only half done.

4. After a slow start, Marco Coleman now has 4 sacks in the last 2
games and Jeff Cross finally got his first sack of the season.

5. This year, the Dolphins have 10 interceptions at the half way
point.  During all of last year, the Dolphins had 12.  Already ahead
of last year's interception totals are Vestee Jackson 2 (0-last year),
JB Brown 2 (1 last year), Jarvis Williams 2 (1 last year) and Bryan
Cox 1 (0 last year).
