For the last two years, Dolphins fans have watched a defense that made a ton of plays and came up big in big moments. They had the corners that could survive on an island and the ability to make opposing quarterbacks uncomfortable from whistle to whistle. We see glimpses of that defense occasionally, but not nearly often enough.
Just like McDaniel is receiving most fans’ ire, Josh Boyer is getting a lot of blame for these struggles. Josh Boyer may not be a top-10 defensive coordinator in this league, but he is working with far too many reserve/practice squad-level players each week.
