These are the final rankings from PFF on our Dolphins D.
Soliai- #10 of all DT's and NT's.
Langford- #5 of 3-4 DE's.
Starks- #10.
McDaniel- #13
Dansby- #12 of all ILB's
Crowder- #17, all based on vs the run.
Wake- #4 of 3-4 OLB CORRECTION
Misi- #7.
Bell- #8 of all S's.
Clemons- #61
S Smith- #8 of all CB's
Davis- #14.
Fields- #2 Punter in the league. Had to add that in.
With all the moves, youth, and adapting to Nolan, these guys were FRAKIN FANTASTIC!
Ross better get out his check book and re-sign Soliai and McD, and we have Odrick, Edds, Jones, and Carrol who will add to this D.
Just wait 'tll THIS YEAR!!!

Reshad Jones was also remarkably effective, that cat can ball,.
dolfan7171, gunn34, eric and 2 others like this. -

How can that dude run a 4.34, and not show that sort of range?
I like CC, but he is a work in progress -
How does Misi get #7 OLB and how does Bell get #8 S? Neither one were exactly spectacular this season. Not enough so to be considered top 10 in the league at their position. What exactly goes into the equation that calculates these ranks? I can believe Wake and Davis and Langford, and even the rest of the guys to a lesser extent, but the rankings for Misi and Bell just seem highly inflated for players that didn't do anything to warrant it.

I refer to Nolan, who said that Misi did a lot of the dirty work which does not show in stats.dolfan7171 and gunn34 like this. -
im hoping reshad jones steps up and steals the starting job from clemons. jones seems like a hell of a play maker and maybe just needs to learn where to be and why so he is more often in the right position to take advantage of the skills we all saw flash.
i remember at the end of one game he came in and made 4 huge plays back to back. -
clemons seems like to soft of a push over to play safety. bobbling catches and letting recievers take the ball from him and missing some tackles. but he was an upgrade over gibril wilson and did make some nice plays (i think he made the goal line hit on rothlisberger to knock the ball out that THE REFS TOOK AWAY).
just look at the how much davis and smith jumped up in the rankings. 8th and 14th. werent they both in the bottom 5 last year? and we all knew a lot of that was because of no help from wilson. -
I'm surprised Smith is ahead of Davis in the CB position.
Soliai was a beast this year and will only get better. Ireland needs to lock him up fast.
McDaniels was a difference maker when he was in there all year too. How many times did we hear he tackled someone for a loss or batted down a ball?
Dansby I thought would have been higher.
Misi played really well for a newby. I hope Edds plays as well this year. -
This year, both will break out. JMO. -

SMITH couldn't even start for the team yet he's the
8th best corner in the NFL...THEY MUST HAVE FORGOT ABOUT THE 6 DROPPED INTERCEPTIONS
8TH best corner in the NFL MY BACKSIDE

Here's a detailed explanation of PFF's grading. It should give everyone a much better understanding of what they do and why they are a respected source of information.
