why do we put 9 in the box

[thefranchisedef]

when we blitz? disguise it a little bit.. they know we are going to blitz when we do this.. why dont we play out of our base.. move some people around, and attack them unexpected. When brees, manning, rivers, and brady see us stacked they know whats coming. Paul needs to look at the mike nolans scheme and revise his style. Its not that we arent good enough in the secondary, its our scheme that makes us not good enough. bill belichek proves that year in and out. we've got the talent, now lets use it... i for one cant wait for paul to be gone.. can we please get on the phone with romeo?

Because PP thinks its 1964 and quarterbacks are dumb as bricks. Payton exposed our blitz, Brees exposed our blitz, Brady exposed our blitz, etc etc etc.

Oh and did i mention that we have the worst blitzing Linebackers/Safeties in football? Not sure what happened to Yeremiah Bell... he used to be a great blitzer. Oh and why not send Nate Jones on a blitz every now and again the guy was great at it last year.

I had a post even before the season started bashing our DC - Paul P...But people thought i was on crack..

Yeremiah Bell was a great blitzer during the Saban era. I believe the biggest problem on defense is coaching (DC - Paul P.)

I also believe that Crowder is a great blitzer as well at times but he is not used properly.

We rely/trust too much Taylor and Porter to provide pressure.

I believe the Dolphins defense will go on "Guinness Book of World Records" for the most TD's allowed in the least amount of time (less than 1 minute)

They said it. PP is a bumbling old fool.

Get a real DC, and many of our problems will "magically" disappear.

I would love to blame it on the DC, but with the holes we have on defense...I can not lay it all at his feet. He does need to be more consistent with pressure though. We get teams on the ropes (NO) and then let off the gas.

I don't give a damn what people say about, "oh, just try that against Manning." Manning isn't a god and the pressure from just using JT and Porter isn't cutting it.

Oh...and when was the last time anyone saw Crowder actually put any pressue on the QB when he blitzes. 1 time during preseason doesn't cut it...he telegraphs the blitz and then runs right into a lineman and goes nowhere...

When Saban was our coach. Back then, he was actually a good blitzing ILB. Do you think he just forgot how?

gibril is getting more pressure on the qb than joey porter.. cam wake was getting the most pressure last week.. we need to start wake and have porter come in on 3rd downs.. he's no longer an everydown linebacker..

Yes clearly forgot how to blitz and how to tackle, I dont care what you did in the past with, whatever coach what matters is what you are doing now, and right now he needs to improve, all of our LB need to improve, tackles, blitz better , bend their knees a bit and get some push cause sir, we really need a blitz defense. This QBs are getting way to much time back there is horrible.

or it's because we have the slowest blitzers (ILBs and safeties) in the world and if they don't line up close to the line, the blitz is useless. (though it's been useless anyways).
