Secondary Improvements?

Expect Cullver back, Rambo on ST maybe. Im not sure what to make of Benwikere situation. They may not be overaly impressed wih him.
Need the secondary ready this week though more of a challenge than the Bills game for sure.

I dont think Culliver is ready but once him and Howard are back, that should help our secondary tremendously!
I hope your wrong about Culliver, especially with the news of Howard yesterday not being close to a retun.
I think these guys would have to look amazing in practice to get a shot in a game. Or the incumbents would have to have a terrible game to get replaced. sort of what happened to Maxwell earlier in the year.
If Rambo plays it will be special teams only. Probably a bigger likelihood he's inactive. Benwikere was inactive for the first two weeks he was with the team so I don't see this staff in any rush to get Rambo out on the field. Culliver knows the plays...been with the team for over a month I believe so short of actually playing and getting his conditioning up he's ready. I would expect Benwikere to make his debut this week as well, this will be his 4th week with the team.
Benewikere is the CB that intrigues me. The guy was drafted in 2014, and I believe the Panthers made a mistake cutting him. Many people forget he broke his leg 10 1/2 months ago (Dec. 13, 2015). Is it really that surprising that we was out of game shape versus Julio Jones for the third game of the season?
Should get better with Culliver and Howard healthy. Really hoping Culliver is ready or at least close... Bene may be ready to play. Hope he looks solid he did originally with Carolina.. will he be in the slot? Where he supposedly excels? Can he take snaps away from McCain or Thomas? Same for Rambo really... can he be more of a force than Thomas? He definitely won't be as familiar with our defense as the others which won't help his cause

I didn't know he broke his leg honestly

The Dolphins don’t necessarily feel that way. They are confident Chris Culliver will add team drills to his practice regimen this week, perhaps as early as today, and he will be ready to play either against the Jets on Sunday or at San Diego the following Sunday, barring a setback.
They will tell you they expect rookie second-round pick Xavien Howard back eventually. (Yeah, they may say that but eventually looks to be the middle of November).

Lets get those balls deep!!
I also heard that the falcon were running him against deep routes every play then attacking him with Julio when he got winded.

Still worried about our Run D quite a bit. They figured it out for 2 weeks, but I need to see that it is the new standard and not a flash in the pan. Nothing worse than getting gashed in the run game.

Sorry to say thay but Bobby M. is getting toasted a lot even though he plays hard and gives his 100% on every play. WE need a slot corner that can make a difference on 3rd downs.
I'm just not sure what the thinking is with him exactly from the staff yet, guess will see how practice goes this week and Jet game. If I recall they said they would work him at boundary before the slot although that might have been before Thomas had to move to safety- maybe he is worked in at nickel.
