...REALLY?!?!
I have really learned to HATE Tim Graham, he is constantly trying to wreck the Dolphins. And I think he is a Pats fan, even though he started off in the (Miami) Herald...

It was a slow news day apparently...
As I commented on ESPN.com yesterday, its a worthless stat. It has no real relevance. Nnamdi Asomugha was the 4th worst tackler on that chart. I’m sure no one would want him on their team.
I like reading Tim Graham. He points out some interesting stats, especially at this time of the year
A couple of things about this article.
First, poor defensive teams are usually poor tackling teams and the Phins were a poor tackling team last year. Mike Nolan will improve on that.
Second, if a team is poor tackling, the YAC numbers are going to be inflated, because tackles are missed.
Asomugha might have been the worst tackler on that chart, but that is fine. I don’t want my CB’s to be great tacklers. That defeats their purpose. They are suppose to “prevent” the WR from “catching” the ball, not “tackling” the WR after he “catches” the ball. Deion Sanders is arguably one of the best CB’s to ever play in the NFL and he couldn’t tackle anyone. But he prevented guys from catching the ball so he didn’t have to tackle anybody. That is a CB’s primary responsibility.
Let's get offensive this offseason!

You also have to understand that if you put
no pressure on the QB and the receivers have 4-6 seconds to juke the CB, then the DBs will look bad. We had no LBers and no pressure all year. Nobody can cover an NFL receiver indefinitely.
Now that we have Dansby, and we shore up our OLB issue, look for the statistics for our 2 CBs to improve drastically next year.
Dolphins and Gators baby!
we didnt have "no" pressure
we had inconsistent pressure, cuz we were among the top 5 sacking teams in the nfl, but it was some plays there is insane pressure, some plays, the qb could have finished a nap before getting sacked
