First off let me state I am not a knee jerk kinda guy when it comes to the phins . I will however scream at the TV and claim to want to cut guys on the spot during games. I have been a Dolphins fan since I was about 7 years old and my family would take yearly trips from NY to FLA.
I think the Dolphins are not as bad as many believe. I think we are a stud OL away on offense and a play maker away on defense. I don't know if that guy is a CB or a pass rushing LB that are a premium in a 3-4 or what. We need to get some young blood on Def. and if that means benching Jeff Zgonina and playing Fred Evans and Roth more so be it. I think T. Tillman is a an okay back-up but he can't seem to make plays on the ball in the air. Y. Bell or Allen should be ready to start I can live w/ short term growing pains for a play maker in the secondary. I also think we need to fully commit to the 3-4 or 4-3. People who complain about ZT blitzing are correct. He is not a pass rusher. He does have some success as a delayed blitz guy after the blockers have committed. But I too have noticed that he gets blown-up as a pass rusher by backs and OL. He is a great MLB in a 4-3 but not a pass rusher. As far as the OL goes Phil Simms said it best last year . He stated we don't have one guy that we can hang our hat on and say that we can always run behind him, or he won't break down in pass pro. I thought he was correct last year and still think he's correct.
