    That's pretty funny.

    On the other hand Armando isn't necessarily right.

    We know that what happened was a miscommunication between players. What we don't know is the nature of that miscommunication. Both Sparano and Yeremiah Bell were very clear that it was just a miscommunication, not people not knowing their defensive assignments or making mental errors. They have a defensive call and they know their places within that defense, they have to communicate with one another to apply that defense to the formation they're seeing from the offense. That didn't happen. As a result, 30 yard TD on 4th & 11.

    The defense looked bad on that entire drive. It was obvious to me that we will struggle against the hurry up 2 minute offense because there isn't time to be creative. I can see opponents trying to exploit this.

    Well away from here
    How is that different from any other team though? Any time there is a no huddle the defense tends to struggle. It isn't just us.

    Careful. Just cause you're a guru, doesn't mean you're allowed to affect the "Love The Dolphins By Hating Everything They Do" narrative that has been going on since cuts.:lol:

    Initially I was thinking the same thing, but I heard on the radio today that it wasn't the fact that the Bills hurry up was throwing us off, but it was more that our defensive scheme changed to a prevent type style. Not sure if this is exactly what happened, but it sounds like a possibility.

    That's what I was saying. I figured they just switched to a softer coverage, which I couldn't understand why. They had been shutting them down the entire day.

    I think it was just their base coverage that they implemented in situations like the one that happened in Buffalo yesterday.

    It was 4th and 11 and Culver bit on the underneath route and Parrish blew right past him.

    The did give up plays on that drive, but very rarely are you going to hold an NFL offense down every drive for an entire game. And that's not the worst thing thing if you bend but don't break.

    They eventually bowed up, turning a 2nd and 1 from the MIA 20 into a 4th and 11 on the MIA 31, thanks to a stuff of Spiller and a clutch sack from Misi. Drive should have been dead. In the future, it'll be dead unless it's Andre Johnson beat-moding us.

    That is my point. The hurry up caused us to be less creative and thus back to a vanilla base defense which made us look pretty average. I'm going to watch the game again soon and watch that drive closely. For all those who mentioned it I understand it was fourth down and we had stopped them at least until Culver blew the coverage.

    Don't get me wrong I think the defense played very well. We swarmed to the football which is something we rarely did last season. I was very impressed with Nolan's scheme with our personnel. I was merely expressing one of my concerns. That drive came from nowhere and they were in hurry up. No coincidence IMO.

    Love this...not just for how it ended and set the tone on this game and very well could be one we look back on and say...for the season.

    But I love the 6 up on the line, but what looks like chaos is really a 4 man rush, against 5 DL as 2 Miami D guys fake and break back - one to the right flat, one to the middle, - and Misi just kills the LT & LG allowing Dansby to come way off the edge with a full head of steam.

    Talk about taking an ILB and mixing it up to the point that he is basically an edge rusher with no other responsiblity but seek and destroy.

    And Cam ran a stunt to the inside, the blockers just lost track of Dansby as they were concerned with Wake.

    Bell should have called timeout when he saw Culver moving up.

    In a way, I'm glad it happened. We still won the game and now the defense can get their communication straight so it doesn't happen again.

    I looked at the highlights again and I'm 90% certain that Culver was meant to move up to cover the underneath zone while Sapp was supposed to cover the deep zone. The miscommunication there was, Sapp instead got it wrong and played the underneath outside zone. That's how I saw it anyway.

    That's what I saw when looking at the play live. After seeing the replay, to me, that's not how a 3 deep zone goes. Culver was the Safety on that play and underneath is not where I would put my Safety in a zone like that. FWIW

    Actually no, being a safety doesn't necessarily mean you don't have help behind you.
