From best to worst, how would you rate the team? I know at this point any unit at the top is because the other units are even worst but since we're trying to figure out what's wrong with the team I'll give it a try
1-D-line They have done better playing the run, not so good rushing the passer but the other units are worst

Ok, I've been trying to come up with a unit that deserves to be second on merit and I can't come up with one.
Parker has made some nice catches but when the unit has ONE TD in 3 games.....
The LB's have done better vs the run but in the passing game they have suck
Corner? I feel Tank did ok for his first game out there. Had 5 tackles and one PD which is better than Maxwell was doing while facing two lesser QB's
Safeties, nothing good there either.
O-line? has been garbage
QB? Do I even need to go there?
RB?Ajayi playing hard as always but the o-line has not helped him at all
ST's? Our punter has been horrible. Not getting much on returns and the cover teams have been so so
Coaching? The team has looked not ready to play. Mistakes everywhere. Penalties even after a timeout.

Every unit for the most part could be the weakest link at this point.

Ozzy rules!!

Wake has been Wake. He is a HOFer in my book.

Poor Parkey can't even get an attempt at a FG these last 2 weeks

Denney no bad snaps that I have seen

Cheerleaders still in good form

Can you beat 4 ? (ok 3 you said The kicker first)
 
Defense is ranked 6th in PPG despite having their throats slit by our offense with the time of possession. They get a positive grdae in my book.
 
I say blow it up we have no pass rush at all...wake is old and can't bend turn the corner like he used to with the speed. The oline has 3 first round picks and one of them needs a new hip. Our quarterback is coming back from an ACL surgery and still waiting for his break out year. But I do like Tannehills toughness and desire. X Howard isn't the corner we thought he was Maxwell is a joke Reshad got paid and went on vacation. Still don't have a tightened or guards worth a damn. And Suh just doesn't make enough of an impact to justify paying him 20 million a year. blow it up"
 
Ja'Wuan James has been our best o-lineman by far. Bushrod has been awful. Steen and Davis have both been subpar and Tunsil has been mediocre so far. Our weak guard spots are killing our o-line.

He's the only huge positive for me on offense (James). He has been spectacular. I am starting to think Tunsil is a better player at guard right now and I wonder if we should target LT in the offseason. Hopefully he improves throughout the season, which is possible if not expected.

I don't have issues with Ajayi, Parker, Landry, Stills because of the playcalling, quarterback, and offensive line. They've all played hard and made the most out of severely limited opportunities. Julius Thomas on the other hand has no business in the NFL. He's clearly out of shape and the athleticism that made him is completely gone. I'd give Grey a go from here on out.

While our secondary sucks, pass rush is below average, and we still have a special teamer out there at linebacker.....gotta credit the defense overall for keeping the team in the game. They've been on the field an incredible amount of time to have only given up 19, 20, 20 in three games. That's enough for any decent offense to be 3-0.

I am excited to see Tank hopefully for the rest of the season. Maxwell and Verner are washed up trash. This kid competed out there today. Made a few small mistakes and hung in there. Almost made a huge pick on a great break on the ball in the redzone. I thought he was phenomenal in the preseason.

Lose against Tennessee and we have to commit to extensively playing our young guys that have potential to start. Harris, Tank, Asiata, Grey, Anthony, Godchaux/Taylor, and I'd even get Smith in there at FS before McDonald gets back.
 
Man, it looks like this is a major rebuild.

Have to wonder what the team would look like with Ryan Tannehill. Jay Cutler has been well below average and you've got to get better quarterback play to win in this league.

The whole blame isn't on Cutler, but that is such a critical position and Miami has downgraded big-time there.
