Where’s the Pass Rush? Hafley, Chop & the Dolphins’ Defensive Problems | Fish Tank LIVE
Two games into the season, the Miami Dolphins have plenty of issues to sort out—but few are more glaring than a pass rush that simply hasn’t gotten home.
O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chad Van Horn, Mike Oliva, and The Legendary Sevach break down Jeff Hafley’s struggling defensive front and ask what Miami can do to generate pressure with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs coming to town. With Chop Robinson returning to practice, Juice explains why it’s time for the former first-round pick to start making his presence felt—and why pressures can be nearly as valuable as sacks for a secondary that can’t be asked to cover forever.
The crew also examines the bigger challenge facing Hafley: Miami’s defensive front isn’t just struggling to rush the passer—it needs to be better against the run, too. Is this a scheme problem, or does Hafley simply not have enough proven personnel to execute what he wants to do?
Plus, the guys discuss why Dolphins fans may be judging Malik Willis too quickly, the growing pains of Miami’s young receivers, the latest injury news on Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell, the disastrous start for the special teams unit, and which Dolphins rookies have been the biggest surprises through two games.
And in “I Tried to Tell Y’all,” The Legendary Sevach channels Tupac to remind Dolphins fans that if they wanted real change after the old approach failed, they may have to live through the uncomfortable part of a rebuild before they see the results.
The Dolphins knew this season would require patience. But with Mahomes coming to Miami, the defense doesn’t have much time to find some answers.
