Summary
Miami Dolphins’ defense sparks concern after a shaky Week 1 showing against the Las Vegas Raiders. Can this unit turn things around, or will missed assignments and underwhelming performances linger into the season?

Key topics include the impact of rookie injuries, issues with block deconstruction, and questions about personnel groupings as the Dolphins prepare for a tough matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. Player development, defensive rotation tweaks, and the need for improvement at the point of attack take center stage. With rookies like Chris Johnson and Jason Marshall showing potential, is Miami’s defense on the verge of a turnaround, or are bigger changes needed?
