Will this defense be able to be dominant with our current players
We are lacking in a lot of positions on defense. Our secondary is not looking good right now. We are replacing sam madison with will allen. Will Allen is definately not on the level of madison. He is a decent player but should not be the number 1 cornerback. Another concern I have is that we are also replacing Lance Shulters with Deke Cooper. Again Cooper is not as good as a player as Lance. This worries me that we are replacing our defensive secondary players with less talented guys. To be fair, these signings were good for depth. There is a lot of offseason left to address these positions. There are still some quality players in free agency who could fill into these positions nicely. Both Ty Law and Charles Woodson would be quality signings if they came at a reasonable price. I can't imagine they could get anywhere near the asking demands of Arrington. Another to address these positions is through the draft. The draft has some very talented secondary players....
Onto another subject on the defense. We need another linebacker on the team. We have 2 quality players already at the position. We need to get one more good linebacker. The past few years that last spot of the linebacker position has hurt us. When Seau has gone down the past 2 years our defense has suffered tremendously. We need to get a guy who can fill that position and play somewhere near the level Seau did with us and not getting hurt.
With all this being said, our defense is not in a terrible situation. It may sound that way by the way I talked about it. It will be important for the dolphins organization to focus on fixing these areas of the defense. The defense has many pieces to the puzzle already. We just need to find those other parts. If we can find those last parts this could be one of the best defenses in the league. There are many talented players to address these problems. It would not be smart to pass up the opportunity.
