They did a nice job filling the weaknesses on defense...there should be optimism about the 2021 defense.
Re-watch the last game of the season against the Bills when we needed to win to get in the playoffs.
Our defense last year was good, not great.
It was very opportunistic, but the strength came from our starting CBs and our scheme.
We needed help on the front seven and thankfully, we ignored those who wanted an all offensive agency and draft... and went out and got the help we needed.
I'm VERY optimistic about this year's defense even though I think we need one more true pass rusher.
Nuff' Said.
Exactly. Get us into the top 10 scoring offense and then with that defense with the addition of Holland and Phillips it's lights out time.Another thing to consider. Miami's offense will be better, perhaps dramatically better. That will help the defense as well.
The Dolphins had a lot of three and outs last year, putting added pressure on the D.

Also it is very hard to repeat a high peak season.OP wants the hype to come from last season's D, which is why there's a link to a video. This year's defense IMHO is going to be more consistent based on the offseason FA and draft you refer to.
Yes, but I’d like some depth in that area. Top flight depth. This game on defense is all about pass rushing to help our Dbacks. I am not sold on our new draftee until he does it on the NFL level. We also drafted Dion Jordan and Charles Harris and that didn’t work out.
If it wasn’t for the defense we wouldn’t have been able to even talk about playoffsRe-watch the last game of the season against the Bills when we needed to win to get in the playoffs.

You are not the only one.Am I the only one still very disappointed with the linebacking corp? I know you can't rebuild everything in a year or two but damn I miss having an impact LB on the team. A smart, tough player like Zach, that will lay someone out and is always in the right place, etc. Just a real leader on the field.
And don’t forget McKinney stuffing the run at a high level:)I can’t wait to see what Phillips and Holland add to that already stifling defense. Round it out by going and grabbing Ingrahm. We could have the #1 D in the league.
