"The Dolphins linebacker corps is a nightmare right now. Channing Crowder left Sunday's game -- as in bugged out and was nowhere to be found afterward. He went home and is out for the season finale against Pittsburgh because of a foot injury, according to a source. The club is concerned he has a midfoot injury that could mean a lisfranc, which is serious business. More will be known today." http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolphins_in_depth/2009/12/miamis-biggest-problem-on-defense-lbs.html
if we got some good ILB's and pressed the issue of tackling people instead of just trying to run into them and hope they fall over, we should have a tougher defense next year. im sick of seeing our defender bounce off of people. the coaches need to tell these dummies wrap their arms around people and drag them down. stop trying to just knock them over.
Well it shouldn't be hard to improve. They were terrible this year. When your two leading tacklers are your safeties that's ridiculous. Crowder may recover next year, he may not I'm not sure. Draft one and sign one.
while i agree, no one was complaining when ZT did the exact same thing .... it used to frustrate me to no end. i have to believe it is a matter of not getting hurt and extending your career ... as i can't remember a good tackling LB on this team in the last decade. I'm still not sold that CC makes a difference in this LB corps .... but then again - does any of them.
