After forcing 30 turnovers last season MIA has none through 2 games only DAL can share this dubious stat though DAL has a win.
 
No coincidence the Dolphins are 0-2 and lost the turnover battle both games. It's time for the defense to step up and help turn the game around with some turnovers.

Its a disturbing stat. However, they have played against 2 pretty efficient offenses.
 
Our D is Swiss Cheese!

I am so disgusted by our defense, that I am biting my ****ing lip as I write this... First off, where the **** is our defense???Yes, Our ****ing defense? Does Paul Pasqualoni has Olividotti syndrome and does our defense plan on showing up for the regular season? Secondly, our linebacker and safety play is simply PATHETIC!!Our pass rush? That's just funny! Ol' pretty boy should just retire and go to Hollywood since this league is all about,what have you done for me lately...and Joey "the invisible man" Porter!! I just don't get why Cam doesn't get any reps? After the first two games.... it wouldn't hurt!! The only two guys that I will give the high five to after the first two games would be Kendall Langford and Philip Merling they seem to be the only two on D that have shown up!! All the other turds better just shut their mouths....especially you CHANNING"THE MOUTH BUT DON'T BACK IT UP" Crowder!!
 
I'm more confused by the lack of production when Taylor and Porter have been on the field together (this is the second try at this). I think our DBs won't get many picks even with good pressure on the QBs. Will Allen doesn't grab many, Smith and Davis are rooks showing promise, Gibril Wilson is more of a run support safety which only leaves Y. Bell.

If anything, I would expect the LBs to start popping some fumbles.

True but Gibril Wilson should of had MIA's first takeaway...:boohoo: MIA's players are never around the ball except sean smith. Nobody goes for the the INT. MIA is never in position to intercept tips. MIA only intercepts if the ball comes straight to them and when they get an INT they don't know how to run it back (guess they're just excited they got the ball)

One of the INT's in this game from last year should have been ran back for a TD:http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80bf4e1d
 
Paul Pasqueloni needs to bring the heat more. JT has lost a step and Joey gets double teamed. I'd rather get beat because we blitzed and didn't get to the QB than because we let the Qb sit in the pocket all day and pick us apart(which is exactly what we've done so far this season.

That's odd, because as I recall the game winning touchdown was scored on a play that we blitzed...
 
We run a vanilla scheme and don't disguise coverages or blitzes... this is a recipe for disaster.

Saban ran the best D we have seen in years when he was here... it's no coincidence that we almost had 50 sacks in each of his two years here.

When did we have a turnover against Indy? You cant really count the hail mary at the end of the game as losing the turnover battle since the game was already practically over
 
The reason why we have no turnovers is because we haven't put a lot of pressure on the qb.
 
Manning was getting the ball off very quickly. They knew that we were going to be coming and they adjusted. However against Atlanta the pass rush wasnt there. I think we saw some semblance of a pass rush against Indy, Peyton was just getting the ball out quick. Like he always does.
