Miami Dolphins’ offensive struggles are hurting the defense

here's the thing, the offenses problem is they can't do jack in the redzone. And even with the offenses struggles, it is not their fault that....

1.Cam Wake is dropping into coverage 18 times a game
2.Reshad Jones bites on every playfake
3.When Vontae is hurt, we decide to put Nolan Carroll on the other team's number 1 WR because our CBs play sides instead of shadowing a man
4.Our DL can't get any pressure
5.We don't blitz anymore
6.We can't cover TEs worth a darn
7.We can't create turnovers
8.Our CBs give the opposing WRs 10 yard cushions

The offense is hurting a lot of things, including my life span, but the defense isn't one of them. Vontae, Misi, and Clemmons being hurt is an issue as is Dansby battling nagging injuries, but the biggest issue is Mike Nolan being outcoached.... actually, our entire staff is being outcoached. I don't know if Nolan just lost touch, the team is making mistakes, or Sparano pulled a McDaniels and said stop blitzing, but Nolan is not calling the D the same way he did last year.
 
You can't blame the offense for the defense. The defense was bad on the first drive, after the offense had scored a touchdown, before the defense was on the field too long, and before the ball was turned over.

The defense can't get pressure, can't cover, can't stop the run, and can't stop anyone on 3rd and 4th down.
