To me the main concern for the Dolphins going into Training camp should be the secondary. Stopping th run should not be a problem for us having such elite LB and DE as we have i think were doing great in that department better then we have in many years. To me our biggest issue has to be the secondary and how teams are going to attack us on that front.

With the first half of football are teams that like to spread there offense we might have a big issue when it comes to defending them. We have Atlanta, Indianapolis, San Diego, New England and New Orleans all scheduled in the first half of the season and capable of isolating with a spread pass attack, the secondary must be a priority this training camp. Our two safeties Gibril Wilson and Yeremiah Bell, they maybe tackling machines but are they really ball hawks, there able too support the run great, but we need them to stop passes from being thrown in their general area.

The cornerback position is also a concern Will Allen is great and a strong defender, i am not at all concerned with him defending that side. Now to his other side, who is going to be there Eric Green, reports on him so far have not been great getting beat to often when there playing in street clothes really. The two rookies which are monsters at CB, Vontae Davis and Sean Smith are making headlines but are they going to be ready by the time the regular season comes around. They have elite wide receivers that there going to have too cover, Randy Moss,Terrell Owens, Lee Evans, Joey Galloway(old but reliable), Wes Welker. These are guys who all have over a 1000 receiving yards with the exception of Galloway, and are very dangerous if not covered. So are main concern should be the secondary.

I am sure that are boys in the defense of line and our linebackers are going to help with pressuring the quarterback and putting him on his ass every chance they get, but most of these teams have Qb that can pick apart a defense in a split second with any chance given. I am praying that Jason Taylor has a great year, Matt Roth steps it up a notch and produces more sacks, plus he is great on the run. Also Joey Porter repeating his miraculous show last year with all those sacks. That are defensive line stays strong and healthy. I love are secondary, don't get me wrong Wilson/Bell might just be the best safety duo in the league, our two new pick draftees look like monster cb and are going to dominate the league when they get to par. Just concerning my interest and I'm wondering what everybody thinks about our secondary going into Training Camp. So what do you guys think are we good at secondary or should they be working on our secondary hard in training camp? 

 

I will be going to training camp on sunday and monday so i will keep you guys posted on all the different things the dolphins are trying out .

Nice Post, great pictures

Gotta get some rush (especially up the middle from D-Line, ILB, and S) AS WELL AS step into the passing lanes and knock receivers off of their routes at the line.
I hope to see an aggressive defense that allows CBs to jam their man at the line and not have to stay 10-15 yards off with the Safeties back from the LOS another 20 yards.
Chris Clemons “holding out” worries me.
Gibril Wilson’s tendency to get beat deep worries me.
I feel better about facing big receivers than when we had smurfs at CB.
I am curious how long it takes for the rookies to get acclimated to the speed and skill of the NFL.
I also wonder if they will “hit the wall” or keep improving…

Abandoned the Draft Sean Smith at #25 Bandwagon to Join the Draft Sean Smith at #61 Bandwagon and get Vontae Davis and a 5th Rounder. Trio > me.

i think at first we may struggle..but i believe as the games go on we will see our secondary become oneof the strong points of our D..the fo really focused on the secondary this off season.. and they brought wilson in becuase he is a ball hawk.. so if he keeps that up i think we will be pleasnatly surprised at how well our secondary is.

and dont worry clemans will sign. he would stupid not to.

common sence says if you put a stick in it and stirr if it stinks.. stop.. toss the stick and just walk away.

Striker strikes,

good post bud, I have one thing I’d like to disagree with you on,

Stopping th run should not be a problem for us having such elite LB and DE as we have i think were doing great in that department better then we have in many years.
In 06 we had an awesome front seven, we were 4th in yards against, and 5th in points allowed, which is miraculous considering our offense had a very hard time moving the ball when they weren’t turning it over, lol, IMO that was the best D we have ever fielded.

Note to editor; “These are guys who all have over a 1000 rushing yards” you might want to edit this to rec yards.

Nicely done, I agree with your take on the DBs, and I think the potential is there for a great front seven, I’ll be looking forward to your camp review.

stopping the run is MY concern

I feel like we really approved our secondary… Stopping the pass is what i feel like we are strong at. Stopping the run might well be the issue.. BUT i love the chemistry of this team…. it’s something like i haven’t expierenced in years with this team… Maybe i’m drunk right now but GO PHINSSSSS

I agree wholeheartly

the run support scares me, Ferguson is a year older, and Porter and Taylor aren’t known for their run stopping skills. Channing and Ayodele have to come up big as well as Merling/Langford/Roth. If we can get the other teams in 3rd with 5+ yards to go I think we will be in good shape. Then we can mix it up with pass rushing and different looks to throw of the offense.
