Well, in a nutshell, the Dolphins FO seems like they have no clue as to what division they belong.
The AFC East is comprised of 4 teams, 3 who play BIG BOY football, want to push you around, are built around their O and D Lines, and solid secondaries, aminly to attempt to stop the biggest bully, the Patriots. Save the patsies, the Bills and jets are wart covered, but use their aggressive nature to build a lead, then come after you.
However, the weakling in the bunch, our Miami Dolphins heeded not the advice of many who were concerned the Fins were timid, had no push at the LOS (either offensively nor ...surprisingly... defensively), have short corners, no depth back there, no LB depth of any consequence, and worse no depth in the Offensive line. For the past 4 years, they were coached by a timid, spineless HC, a too cute for his haircut OC, a DC that ruined a good unit, and captained by a QB that isn't ready for prime time till the game is already out of hand. This manifests itself most significantly against TEAMS IN HIS OWN DIVISION, the mean old bullies situated in the Northeastern part of the US. To save him any embarrassment, I'll call him "Captain Trash-stats."
Quite simply, no one in the front office has apparently paid any attention to the acquisitions garnered by the Dolphins division mates. perhaps they should have. It isn't just about the Pats, who will be kings as long as Brady, Gronk, and the best HC and staff in the NFL make the Northeast their home. If only the Dolphins could conquer the OTHER 2 teams in the division, win 3 of those 4, a 10 win season would be possible. You'd carry THAT attitude to games with teams like the Colts, Giants, Cowboys, Ravens.
Ross stays in NY, oblivious to all that's happened to his play toy. Tannenbaum has succeeded eviscerating 2 teams in the same division. Unfortunately one is US, with help from a clueless owner, a spineless Hickey, and the worst recognition of HOW IT IS in the AFC East.
