The only DC who's bold enough to ignore conventional wisdom. When you have a blue print for beating a team you stick to it. Its a copy-cat league for a reason. You have 2 back-back game video on how to beat Denver and you went zone ? Common !!!!!

I have been saying this for quite a while now, this team is very susceptible to the run. They are mostly because of the linebacking situation but also because "KEVIN COYLE: THE CONTRARIAN" would rather go with lighter NT than big 350lbs "space eater" we're accustomed to. Yes lighter guys are quicker but they do get easily dominated by bigger and more physical OLine man. You saw it yesterday, we saw it against KC and Buffalo and by God we are going to see it against the Patsies.

You wanna know why ?
1-lets be honest here Earl Mitchell is good and fast but not physical enough. In plain term, he is not a true Nose guard.
2-His co star Randy Starks is old and exactly the same thing. So just like our WRs, our DTs are two peas in a pod. Randy plays better when he is paired with a bigger body ala Paul soliai. Remember the Randy starks to NT a couple years ago ? That wasn't good.
3- The team needs true run stuffing MLB, a true big physical NT and and ditch the stupid zone corner scheme and play man... perhaps a new DC .

All is not lost am still confident the team would make the playoffs, I said 10-6 from the get go. Go Phins!
 
Except for the part we don't have the cb's to play that style.
 
The worst part is Miami didn't adjust or abort the plan after halftime. They kept doing it, even though Denver wasn't punting and constantly scoring TDS.

The man who has "Football Guru" listed under his name on a message board says the NFL defensive coordinator isn't "the sharpest knife in the drawer?"

Let's be real for a second. Kevin Coyle could cut his brain in quarters, put those through a blender, drink it, **** it out, put it back in his skull and would still know more football than you.

Thank you for giving me my first (and surely best) laugh of the day! Hilarious.
 
Fisi, I agree with you on the scheme for the game should have been man coverage with a lot of pressure....and we did the opposite. However, who do we get to handle the man coverage? Grimes is a zone guy, and a very good one. We are playing to his strengths when we play zone. Taylor is still learning and I think would have been toasted in a lot of man coverage and our linebackers are not very good in man coverage either.

While I spent the entire game yelling at the TV screen about "where is the pressure", in hindsight, I think Coyle tried to game plan to the strengths or our defense. The issue in my mind was one of players fitting the scheme vs. the scheme fitting what was needed to beat Manning.

Coyle's defense has kept us in a lot of ballgames through 11 weeks. But our inability to make key stops in games (Lions final drive, Packers final drive, Any 2nd half drive by the broncos last week) is a major problem that likely will not be addressed without new players being added.
 
I don't understand the OP. Coyle is the "contrarian" but the post is actually about our personnel and not the DC?

If you are complaining about playing zone in the middle, I guess its because you dont understand that Jimmy Wilson, Jamar Taylor, Walt Aikens, and some practice squad guy was what we put on the field.
 
Blue print? If it is about the blue print then Denver would lose every game left on their schedule, right? Denver beat us so now we should lose our last 5 games as long as the teams we're playing us follow that blue print.....smh
 
Coyle does not make the decision on who to sign and who to let walk. I was disappointed with the zone too but, I think having lost DB's and LB's for the game (and season) makes his job that much harder. This team is at least one good draft away from being a 'real' contender

you killed me! funny **** yo!
 
stop with this insanity! gee whiz people, we wouldnt be having these stupid discussions about how bad coyle is and his terrible game plans, when at the end of the day OUR PLAYERS ON DEFENSE FLAT OUT SUCKED. stop blaming coaches for guys not tackling, getting manhandled at the LOS, poor coverage techniques, etc etc. All basic fundamentals of football we blew out of our asses, not the coaches fault. If we had simply tackled better, we would have won..simple as that
