Where is the reset button?
I get it. Tannehill really didn't play well the past 2 weeks but this is the same guy that made great strides against N.E. Stop with the Henne comparisons because we all know he is better than Henne. However...
Going into this year we were excited about the defense. It was to be figured they would be the one constant. Truth be told, the secondary sucks and bad. Grimes aside (who is a free agent) the entire secondary needs replaced. Taylor and Davis made zero impact on this team and you can blame Ireland but that is another topic. I don't want to hear about how Jones is a good player. He sucks. Clemons is his twin brother in the realm of sucking and Nolan Carroll is the equivalent of a gay prostitute on the field when it comes to allowing completions to his man, he repeatedly gets ass raped. Jimmy Wilson only knows how to hold and get molested each game too. He is a backup at best.
Then we move onto linebacker. Phillip Wheeler was a tremendous signing by Ireland. The guy was amazing..ly bad at getting beaten. I have no clue what we saw in this guy from Oakland. What he made 100 tackles last year? Big f'in deal. Someone had to constantly make tackles on that sorry team. He should be cut in the offseason. I don't care the dead weight cap ramifications. Koa Misi? When is the last time this guy made a significant play? Ellerbe? I didn't think he was too bad this year and one could argue he was an upgrade over Burnett. Worth the money? Not sure. When guys like Trusnik were out on the field due to injuries, the linebacker corp was equally as bad and this guy has no business being on the field. Makes you wonder.
Then you have the front 4. They are quite the enigma. At times they are dominant. Odrick, Vernon and Wake getting push into the backfield and sacking the qb. Then, when they are needed the most to hide our glaring secondary issues, they completely disappear. So what the ****? Add Starks and Soliai who are supposed to stuff the run and at times get qb pressure and they allow the bills to just run all over the defense and at times so did the Jets. Absolutely pathetic display of effort by the supposed strength of this dolphins team. ****ing embarassing.
Then we have Dion Jordan. The next goddamn Lawrence Taylor for the dolphins or that is what it appeared when we drafted him. Some said he needed time to progress and others said he would come on middle of the season. Well what in the hell did the kid do. For the first half of the season, he never played except for situational downs. What's the point? Was his injury that damn bad that he couldn't play for half a year? Awesome contributions for such a high pick. Nobody to this point even knows what he can do and for all purposes next year will be his first year in the league, IF the dolphins actually know how to coach this kid up.
I honestly think that much of the demise of this team this year falls squarely on Philbin and the coaching staff. I am not a fan of Ireland but one could argue that we were competitive at times but when it mattered, the team was repeatedly flat. That 100% falls on the staff. This team showed zero heart and drive in the last 2 games of the year with so much on the line. The question becomes if you can trust a coach that can't get his players to play hard when it really matters. I have a huge problem with that.
