DOLPHINS SQUAD SHOW: Dolphins Defense Under the Microscope: What Has to Change After the 0–5 Start?

The Dolphins are back from their bye week, and the biggest question is waiting on the defensive side of the ball: Miami has recorded four sacks through five games—and every one of them came against Minnesota. The Dolphins had zero sacks in each of their other four games. Was the Vikings performance a blueprint for the pass rush, or a one-week exception? GRIES, Kyle Crabbs, Jeff Zgonina and Wes Goldberg break down the defense from the front to the secondary: Chop Robinson, Josh Uche, Zach Sieler, Kenneth Grant, the young defensive backs, third-down execution, communication and the questions Jeff Hafley and his staff have to answer after their bye-week self-scout. We also look at Miami’s first five games as a whole, what the team can build on, where the coaching and personnel have to improve, the latest health and roster notes, the AFC East after Week 6, the Jets’ loss to New England, Buffalo’s win over Las Vegas, and the biggest stories from around the NFL. The Dolphins head to New York next—and we’ll be back with another show in two days.
