A few things that stand out from Pro Football Focus' analysis of the Dolphins-Bills debacle and a couple other items:
### PFF gave an unspeakably bad grade to right guard Jamil Douglas (a minus 8.9). Can't remember seeing a grade that poor for an individual performance in a Dolphins game. He allowed six QB hurries and two hits. And PFF says his run blocking was even worse.
The other guard, Dallas Thomas, was given a minus 2.9 and allowed three hurries. The Dolphins' guard play has been consistently substandard through three games. What else is new?
### The gruesome numbers on the Dolphins pass defense: As poor as the defensive backs were, the linebackers were also atrocious in coverage. Kelvin Sheppard allowed the one pass thrown against him to be caught for 24 yards. Koa Misi, beaten by Charles Clay, allowed 3 of 4 to be caught for 53 yards....
Among cornerbacks, Brice McCain allowed 6 of 10 to be caught for 100 yards, Jamar Taylor 3 of 4 for 49 yards (that includes the Chris Hogan TD where Walt Aikens was out of position), Brent Grimes 3 of 3 for 14 yards and Zack Bowman 1 for 1 for 12 yards.
PFF graded Brice McCain and Olivier Vernon worst among defensive players.

You just have to laugh at this point and our idiotic leader is still clueless as ever.

Really. How is it possible for Suh to be consistently double and triple teamed and NOT ONE of the other guys on the D Line can make a play? Did Wake all of a sudden become a bum in the off season? I dont think so. What about Vernon - in a contract season he all of a sudden has turned into a guy who cant remember how to play football. Holy bad timing.
I dont believe any of that. We are plain and simple getting out coached on both sides of the ball.dolphin25 likes this. -

At least with Douglas, he get's a free pass being a 4th drafted rookie. Dallas Thomas in his 3rd year as player who has gotten meaningful playing time, he's just as bad as the day he first made an appearance.
What in the world is this staff seeing to even keep him on the roster? He's a guy that should be the 2nd option off the bench at G.dolphin25 likes this. -

We're as bad on defense as I can ever remember. Jason allen, Reggie howard, Jamar fletcher, these guys looked like locked down CBs over mccain. Aikens giving up big plays left and right and his position requirement is almost literally "don't give up the big play". ....****

Word is they're going to convert Jordan Phillips to a Middle Linebacker, Coyle seems to think he'll have more value there so it's going to take some time before we see Phillips. Look for him to be the starter at MLB by 2018 thought...Can't wait....Meanwhile Tony Lippet switching to QB looks promising as well.
