Miami Dolphins team report: LB hasn't changed much

If you think Dolphins linebacker Cameron Wake has changed his ways after one successful season in the NFL, the former CFL star can easily prove otherwise: He's still driving around his 2003 Acura TL with nearly 100,000 miles on it.

Wake's lifestyle is still simple ? and his work ethic is still relentless.

That's a good thing, considering the challenges Wake must face aren't over yet.

Coach Tony Sparano said he expects Wake to face a very different amount of attention from defensive units this year. More chipping from running backs.More doubled-up protection. More midweek plans to combat his ability. Wake, though, will treat these challenges the same way he has treated the rest. As a result, don't expect a different conclusion, either.

Notes: On the team's first depth chart of the regular season, WR Brian Hartline is listed as the No. 2 starting receiver ? providing clarity to any questions whether he would be demoted in favor of another player. Sparano had maintained through training camp that it wasn't a guarantee that he'd have the job. But it appears the team will go with last year's plan: Davone Bess will work in the slot with Hartline on the outside.
