Something we really need to fix - DC

[Orlando Dolfan]

Whoever the DC is, we have got to stop this trend. Last years defense by quarter - Total points allowed.

1st quarter Rank 7th
2nd quarter Rank 6th
3rd quarter Rank 5th
4th quarter Rank 27th

With the game on the line, proper adjustments must be made. I read that the Dolphins in 2011 were the 3rd to last in the league when it came to winning the game when leading in the 4th quarter.

We have started to fix it by letting Nolan go to Atlanta.

Anyone from NY, the Ravens or San Fran we could get?

Robert Nunn would intrigue me as a DC (Giants' DL coach), but i don't know if there is any connection between him and the guys we have running the show.

If we played the 4th quarter like the other 3.we could have been a top 10 defense.I just hope the guy we bring in can keep the pedal to the medal all four quarters

Coaching has to be partly to blame, but lack of a consistent pass rush I think is the real issue. Got to be able to continually disrupt the quarterback. Miami is close on defense, but this isn't a great unit yet.

This really doesn't matter if a lot of the points given up were 4th quarter, come-from-behind winning scores.
