BLITZ : Is that why on 3rd down and 13, I see them giving the WR's a 10 yard cushion??? CB S. Madison is over the hill. He's been getting torched very regularly lately as well. I wouldn't consider him very physical at all....
>These defensive players we have here are very physical.. The only part of this defense that lacks aggressiveness is the defensive coordinator..
BLITZ : Wrong. DC J. Bates is the only reason they have any physicality. He's a motivator, and a loud one at that. There is no evidence to prove J. Bates is responsible for the lack of being physical....
>Jim Bates is too afraid to allow Madison or Surtain or Buckley go one on one without help from their safeties and that's why he rarely blitzes..
BLITZ : I can't blame him. Too many weak links back there. DB S. Madison / S B. Marion / DB T. Buckley / DB J. Fletcher / S A. Freeman. None of them are physical enough. The only one worth anything is S. Madison, and even he's very questionable these days.....
>You should all be focusing this thread on Jim Bates instead of on the players..
BLITZ : Why??....He's had our defense near the top of the NFL almost every season he's been here. He's not the problem IMO....
>Miami defensive players are not physical??
BLITZ : No, not physical enough. I'd trade our defense for the Panthers any day of the week....
PHINZ RULE!!!!:fire:

Dolphins rank better in run defense by far too......so much for "physical" huh?

You would trade them huh?
Name the three Panther Linebackers.....quick.

Gee, that sure proved to be a worthless response.....
The Panthers are going to the Super Bowl, and here we are missing the playoffs for the second straight season. It must be something other than NFL ranking that got them there. Maybe it has something to do with the way they play on game day???....
.....huh???
I'm not going to debate with you anymore 126. You have you're opinions, and I have mine. Have a nice day...
PHINZ RULE!!!:fire:

So What if you can't name their linebackers or their d-linemen for that matter. Those unknown have been playing their a$$es off all year and it's paying dividends for them now. On the other hand look at miami, full of big time well known prowbowlers, who couldn't tackle to save their life against Philly, when the offense put up alot of points.
When the defense is taking up two thirds of the salary cap, I expect that they be dominant and play all year not just in September and October. Especially since it's a given that our offense is designed to not make mistakes moreso than score a ton of points. This defense has failed us the last few years and we have a bunch of overpaid pre madonnas on this team that need to be traded or out right released, because they've become more of a liability than an asset.

The Panthers are going to the Super Bowl because they have better QB play, better O-Line Play, and a softer conference than we do.
Come on Blitz......The Fins D IS better than the Panthers.....it just is......Panthers have a more complete team.
