Per the herald, this year’s pass defense is the worst in franchise history, by a wide margin.
Opposing quarterbacks this year have toasted the Dolphins for 3,908 yards and 31 touchdowns with a (not a typo) 65.6 completion percentage. Those 31 touchdowns are tied with the 1967 Dolphins for most allowed in franchise history. And like the ’67 squad, the mark was set in 14 games.
... “Very difficult,” Brent Grimes said, when asked about the 2015 season. “Nobody likes losing like that.”
Grimes added that the team needs to “put better stuff out there on film.”
That begins with Grimes, who has probably had his worst season as a starter.
He had a nice moment Sunday against the San Diego Chargers, intercepting Philip Rivers. But even then, he was beaten by 5 yards and only came up with the pick because Rivers underthrew the ball.
Grimes has a massive salary cap number last season and will presumably only be back if he agrees to a significant restructure.
But he’s not the only one to blame. The Dolphins have unsuccessfully tried four players at the other corner spot — Brice McCain, Jamar Taylor, Bobby McCain and Tony Lippett.
