Tackling.
I read the players said during the bye that they went back to the baiscs and focused on tackling. And it really showed the past Sunday. They stopped Chargers a couple of times on 3rd and short because of tackling. They kept them on 2nd and long. Even Dick went out said in his post game that he's really happy with the team tackling.
They really need that in Miami. We know Pennington is not going to beat you deep. A lot of short/underneath stuff that he can complete accurately. Just come up and make a sure tackle and we'll be fine. We also know Brown and Williams are going to run a lot. Again tackle well when you have a chance, just don't do the stupid whiffs like in Arizona.
I know it's easier said than done, but I really believe if our defense can tackle as well as they did like last Sunday, the Dolphins can be easily contained. Against the Cardinals and Chargers, defending against big plays is a top priority. Against the Dolphins we should have everything in front of you without much trouble. Just don't over commit/pursue.
