The Dolphins are just that...pathetic.  Let's break down the issues:

1- Top 5 defense? 

   Yeah right.  In YPG allowed by defenses, the Dolphins are ranked 23.   

2- Vontae Davis, Sean Smith, Kevin Burnett, Karlos Dansby, Rashad Jones and the rest of the pass defenders were supposed to improve our defense -- especially against tight ends.  

No way.  Our pass defense is ranked 27.

3- Brandon Marshall, Hartline, Bess, and Henne were going to turn it around.

We fell flat and stand ranked 25 in passing yards per game.

4- The silver lining will be our pro-bowl kicker, Dan Carpenter?

The Dolphins are ranked 19 for field goal percentage.

Pathetic season.  Andrew Luck can only fix one of those things, maybe.  We need a leader on defense and trade brandon marshall for  a solid cornerback or safety.
