Miami Dolphins are #2 in the NFL for sacks

And we have given up the most points in the NFL in the 4th quarter. Is there a point here?.
 
This is what is so head scratching. They have the ability but find a way to f**k it up.
 
The sacks are meaningless....

For the season, QB's still average an 88.3 QB rating against Miami's defense...

And you don't want to see what the 4th quarter QB rating is against Miami's defense....:lol:
 
The key is consistent pressure, not just sack totals.

If they get a sack and then aren't around the QB for the next 15 plays, allowing him all day to throw, then it doesn't matter.

Look at what consistent QB pressure did late in the game yesterday. Buffalo's pass rush stepped it up (although they had to blitz) late in the game. Henne was hit or had the ball deflected on those INT's yesterday. Henne had people pressuring causing those INT's.

I would much rather have 1 sack and good pressure on 20 pass plays than having 4 sacks and pressure on just 3 other pass plays.

A pass rusher doesn't need 2 sacks to have a great game. Not when he is missing in action on the other 60 plays. You're a lot better off having a guy get just one sack but he is all around the field causing problems for the offense during the game.

It's all about a consistent pass rush.. not sack totals.
 
12 of them against the bills... also that hides the complete lack of pressure this team has in crucial moments...

Exactly we can put up 400 yards in passing and almost 200 in rushing and have the greatest defense. If we do not finish on 4th quarter we might as well not even show up at the stadium. All I got to say is I hope this team run a whole **** load this off season and build some damn endurance.
 
I guess it doesnt really matter how good we are getting sacks.. we are 5-6.. Sure, we get 4 sacks a game, but then give up 1st downs consistently
