The Dolphins brought back rookie Anthony Toribio to the practice squad and will dramatically increase Starks' snaps at the nose this week. Starks played defensive tackle in the 4-3 at Tennessee, but he needs to get accustomed to the quicker collisions as the nose in a 3-4. Second-year nose tackle Paul Soliai is expected back Wednesday after serving a one-game suspension for a violation of an undisclosed team rule.
Dolphins coach Tony Sparano blamed a lack of fundamentals, particularly shoddy tackling, for his team's defensive collapse over the past two games. Miami has allowed 842 yards in those games, its high over a two-game period since 2004.

Soddy tackling has been a BIG problem so far.That and lack of execution.It only takes one player not doing his job for a play to break down.
Many of those yards were made after a Dolphin player missed the initial tackle -

NO matter how you spell it, I wish he were here. JT too. I still believe they would have helped our young defensive players.CrunchTime likes this.

Maybe Zach (Zack) could teach the other defensive players how to make tackles.
