Which SINGLE specific aspect of play, if improved, would have the biggest impact?

I'm talking about one specific area that the Dolphins have show weakness on the field that if you could fix, would have the biggest impact...

While run blocking and pass protection as well as red zone execution are huge issues, to me, the biggest issue is covering opponent Tight Ends. If our LBs could cover tight ends over the middle, I honestly believe we'd be looking at a 2-1 record right now.

Secondary , al though u could say oline, linebackers, TE

I still think Houston beats us as well as NE

We need more fist pumping.

Reshad Jones going to the bench would benefit us the most.

 

[Coach_Rob]

pass rush. pass rush would fix alot of problems that we are having right now. where the heck are the exotic blitzes?

Ya know, I meant to specifically state to spare me the predictable "more fist pumping" or "less fist pumping" comments, but forgot. Clearly that was my mistake.

That's a really good point. Our Pass Rush is NON-EXISTENT right now. Another fact that makes me think that our Defense is costing us more than our offense.

i believe the biggest impact on the team for all of us to severely lower our expectations.

Columbo gets axed

Clearly a mistake on your part.

And there's no way we can run "exotic" blitzes right now with our DBs. It would be an instant 6 for the other team. We can't cover in our base defense how do you expect Nolan Carroll to lock someone down for more than 2 seconds so we can get to the QB? Maybe if we get Vontae healthy and back on the field along with Chris Clemons we would have a shot at something like that but not now, not with this defensive backfield.

I agree that pressure on the QB would be the single largest impact. I would be surprised if we weren't last in QB pressures so far.

I don't know about pressures, but we are currently 29th in sacks. Then again, Buffalo is LAST in sacks...

yeah but Buffalo's defense has forced 9 turnovers while ours has only forced 2.

Stop missing field goals. We make all of our field goals and we might be 2-1
