Here's why I don't see that changing. We don't have competent blitzing LB's. We employ off the ball 4-3 backers. An offense knows the only real threat to the QB comes from our DE's and Suh. That's about it.

I also still have a suspicion about our run defense. Although we held the Chargers to a low Y/c, they only had 14 rush attempts and were using very basic run calls to barely keep tabs on respecting the run game.

The most frustrating thing I watched that game was our LBS blitzing and being immediately swallowed up, not even getting close to the QB. And yet we kept doing it constantly. It literally never worked.

Granted I know our LBS suck in coverage too, but at least they are a body taking up some space when dropping into coverage. Blitzing the LBS we have is basically just playing a man down.

I was surprised at the lack of commitment to the run by LA...especially since Lynn buttered his bread with the running game as an assistant. Some games last year were like that...regular season vs Pittsburgh comes to mind. It will be interesting to see if stout run d holds up...

Not only that but it seems as their timing was totally wrong. The blitz wasn't coming right at the snap. It seems everyone that tried blitzing got a late start on it and everyone in California could see it was coming. We might as well not blitz and just drop everyone. Defenses used to blitz Marino with only 3 guys because they knew he'd get rid of the ball so fast so they'd just drop 8 into coverage and try to block the throwing lanes. Lots of time it didn't work but sometimes it did and blitzing was a waste of time anyway.

Ozzy rules!!
 
I'd like to see something on Xavien Howard on how he has improved and if indeed he has the potential to be our 1cb down the line
 
The most consistent defender to get off last on the snap for DL, was . . .

Examples are posted in VIP.
 
Here's a missed call by the refs at the end of the 3rd qtr, 1:09, 2&10. Illegal man downfield and pass interference. Lineman are allowed to be one yard beyond the LOS and obviously can't engage before the pass is released. The center violates both rules. Pretty blatant foul IMO. The result is a 16 yard gain.

All finished. There ya have it ladies & gentlemen, your defensive chart for wk 1 Dolphins @ Chargers.



Thanks for your patience and gonna ask for a little more so I can sort thru this mess and figure how to best present it to you and comply to all the requests I can. I'll start a new thread for the week one defensive breakdown, but feel free to ask more in this one for any questions and requests.
 
Halfway there. 1st & 2nd quarter complete.


Um great job. How the hell do you have time to do all that. No way you could be full time employed and have a family. If you are. You have one special wife. Thanks for the analysis

Ummm.... will you remain married after all this?? You better devote lots of date nights to make up for all this time ;)
 
As I chart the Dolphins defense, I was curious as to what the fans here want to know from a game to game basis before I post a season long thread on it.

What kind of information do you want to see?

I'll leave it as a blank slate for the time being or can add suggestions later if needed. I'll try and comply to any and all requests if possible.

The floor is yours.

SOS I'll appreciate any analysis you provide. One request, and I'm sure you'll honor it, is to present the analysis with an open and unbiased mind. The film and the clips won't lie. Thank you.
