The Dolphins’ defense continues to worry:
If you read my articles often then you know just how much I have been calling out Defensive coordinator Josh Boyer, and his one-dimensional way of calling the defense.
But besides Boyer holding the team back, where are the Dolphins’ pass rushers at? Emmanuel Ogbah just got the big bag and he’s been a ghost! Vs the Lions Ogbah had a monster ZERO tackles, ZERO assists, ZERO sacks, and ZERO Tackles for loss.
In other words, Ogbah was out there just doing cardio. And with those stats, I doubt he even broke out a sweat.
But he’s not the only spirit haunting the D-line because Jaelen Phillips decided to be a ghost for Halloween too, Phillips didn’t put up a donut but he did have a whooping 2 tackles.
Two tackles?! Are you kidding me? The Dolphins can’t get any type of pressure and these two ghosts are the main reason why.
The Miami Dolphins secondary is decimated but Kader Kohou has been a pleasant surprise, the rookie has STICKY coverage. Igbonighene has improved, X is X, and Jevon Holland is an absolute stud.
But Josh boyer calling soft coverages and blitzes that get no pressure will only keep this defense getting burned.
But not all is bad, I’d like to shout out Zach Sieler, the most underrated player on the Dolphins roster: Sieler had 3 solo tackles, 1 assist, 3 pressures, 2 batted passes, and 1 sack, did I mention he put up these numbers playing the inside of the line?
Call him Sack Sieler from now on!
