    One evolving story that hasn't been discussed much recently is how the Dolphins have done an outstanding job in the last two games defending marquee tight ends. This appears to have been accomplished through a combination of double coverage and changing up coverage assignments.

    This is huge as one looks forward to a crucial Week 11 game against Antonio Gates and the Chargers.

    Very quietly indeed.

    Oddly enough, I didn't see much from Gresham or Eifert and gang.

    Agreed with Gates around the corner this is indeed pleasing.

    I don't think that shutting down Eifert and Gresham is anything to be proud of. Combined for 2013 they have 56 receptions for 591 yards and 1 touchdown.

    Agree 100% about Gronkowski though. He shredded the Jets when they played NE and he was held to a modest 2 for 27 during Miami's game.
