defense

There is no doubt that we have the talent and we showed up to play against the big boys (Denver, GB) and almost beat them. But this team is not consistent enough. Sometimes I watch this team, mostly after the Chargers game, I thought we had something special going on down there in Miami. I...

Unless teams have studied the dolphins' offense during the preseason games, Patriots and bills game, there are reasons to be concerned. I noticed that opposing defenses are always making the right calls when we run or pass. It it a coincidence? Brian Hartline makes this offense also...

I wonder why? James Walker ‏@JamesWalkerNFL 10m Dolphins DC Kevin Coyle said he doesn't consider suspended DE Dion Jordan and S Reshad Jones in the game plan this wk unless it's necessary.

I really liked the defensive front of Vernon, Starks, Odrick, Mitchell, Wake that started the second half. Locked down the run while also providing great pass rush potential with the look. Did anyone else notice that?

This is just my opinion but based on some facts. Rishard Matthews - Armon Binns will beat him and we keep 6 WR including Thigpen Will Davis & Walt Aikens - They are not good enough and Jalil brown will make this team. Phillip Wheeler - Jelani Jenkins will beat him and we will not keep him as...

I think we really have 2 SS playing in the secondary with Jones and Delmas... They play like LB's and they can hit hard.. We need that safety who will cover the TE and even WR's in a zone defense. I think Michael Thomas has better coverage skills than Jones and also Jones has been unimpressive...

I really believe this defense should be a permanent 3-4 with the personnel we have instead of that hybrid 3-4 and 4-3.. How in the world could we get beat twice by a 3rd string QB and backup TE's moving the chains??? I'm not sure why the run defense got worst year after year and we still...

we should have kept him enough said http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/109052/dan-grazianos-mvp-watch-17 hes also the only defender, just noticed

How can u guys switch so easily from love to hate and hate to love week after week??? The truth is that, we are not a playoffs team and I don't know why you would want the Dolphins to be humiliated like in the playoffs with this O-Line!!!! What I see is high hopes for next year, this team has...

The Run Defense was suppose to be our bread and butter. We are ranked 21st and we give up an average of 122.6 yds per game. This mean that teams are not only taking a lot of time off the clock to keep our so-so offense off the field, but also making our defense vulnerable to play-action passes...

We can blame Sherman all we want but how come Coyle is getting a free pass with his defense? I know that Sherman play calling is terrible and was terrible in the 2nd half of the NE England game. BUT..... But let's not forget that our run defense is also really mediocre at best right now. We...

Another big issue to address is the defense giving up so many 3rd down and longs. This has happened every week. It's gotten to the point where it's almost better for an opposing offense to be in a third and long situation. What gives?

Ellerbe hurt his shoulder. Carroll his ribs. Anyone else? Heard any official reports on these injuries?

I know we won and I'm happy we did... But how in the world did we even let Jimmy Wilson cover the Colts' best receiver on that 3rd and 6 which was the most important play of the game???? We all knew that Luck was going after the weakest link just like he went after Trusnik when Koa Misi was out...

First of all, I'm not a football guru, not a secondary coach, not an expert... But I can notice stuff like when a player is struggling while on the field. I'm not sure why Carroll keeps making this team year after year since he was drafted. He is getting beat by anyone (2ng string, 3rd string...

The dolphins have no one special at the position clemons isn't going to cut it if we want to make the playoffs our secondary is mediocare compared to other teams thoughts?

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000145956/article/free-agency-primer-ranking-the-top-pass-rushers This is from NFL.com and lists all the available DE's in FA. I like they are sorted in groups. Honestly after Johnson, who got tagged, None of them really excite me. iMO we might be better...

I started a thread after the Pats loss about our defense and IMO it is good enough for Miami to win a Super Bowl if we could get our offense at an elite level. My simple point was the D isn't great but good enough. Our problem is we can't score any points to take the pressure off our D. Anyway...

To win a Super Bowl. I don't care what Anyone says they have the ability to keep Miami in every game. What we need is an offense who can score. If we had New England's or Houston's or Denver's or Baltimore's or Cincinnati's or heck most other team's offense Miami would be a top team. This...

This is the first time I'm reading so many negative/non-sense rants on this board. We had a 1-15 season and the forum wasn't like that.. I guess we have a new generation of Dolfans.. We are mad because we lost to the Colts who are more talented than us defensively and offensively.. Remember...
