DAVIE — There isn’t a cornerback in the NFL who has played more than 53 snaps and is worse this season than Xavien Howard, according to Pro Football Focus.
Howard is rated as the worst cornerback in the NFL, ranked 115th, with a rating of 33.3.
In pass coverage, Howard is ranked 115th; in run support, 79th.
Howard had a particularly rough game on Monday night in Carolina. According to Pro Football Focus, Howard was targeted seven times, allowing five receptions for 87 yards and three touchdowns.
According to a review in this weeks’ “The Tape Don’t Lie” Howard was directly responsible for two touchdowns, one by tight end Ed Dickson and one by receiver Devin Funchess.
Howard was also called for a pass interference in the end zone.
Well, in a game we played TERRIBLY, it came down to the final play.
A game we had 4 turnovers and 17 penalties, came down to the last play.
We lost our 2nd string QB, no RT, our OG's BOTH got hurt, we had the refs take away a TD AND a Safety........
Our coach keeps this mash unit in the game despite all that. That is why you HAVE TO get him some players. He will get wins, but gotta have players.
Oh, BTW, anyone notice the poor Oline not getting murked by stunts and blitzes anymore?
Anyone notice Damien Williams knocking out defensive ends pass blocking?
As for the TO's, 1st INT, DVP was tripped. Not called.
3rd INT, DVP drops pass in BOTH hands. That's not on Jay.
#2, that was all Jay's fault. Terrible throw.
And Tampa missed the FG.
Holding, on Suh? These refs should be fired for this game.
The review of the Safety......they reviewed it and STILL got it wrong. Atrocious call.
The TD to Fasano, called PI.
Should have been 5-5 with a shot still. But, maybe this actually benefits us and helps us in the draft. We'll see.
17 penalties*, 4 TO's, multiple injuries, a TD and Safety taken away from us, lost on the last play of the game. That's almost impossible.
2 INT's were on Cutler, not 1. He should've never thrown that pass in the first place. But Jay doesn't give a #%@^ so I'm glad he got knocked out, AGAIN.
Matt Moore brought the team back in it, but you give the credit to Gase. My god man, your bias is leaking through your eyeballs. Without Moore, that game is a blowout. 3 picks in 1 half, unacceptable. And the coach keeps running him out there to get killed, I wonder why. There's probably 10 million reasons......
Btw, this defense gets paid upfront and they did nothing. Suh, Wake? Harris? Branch? Where's the pass rush? Fitzpatrick punked the Dolphins, not even Jameis. They lost at home to a 3-6 team. But get the coach some players.
Nah, get me a coach that doesn't keep calling WR screens for no gain, and that values linemen over overpaying fat turds like Julius Thomas and a retired QB who smokes in the huddle.
Tell ya what Finnns, I’ll be a nice guy, I want you to tell me who all needs to be on the team next year. As in, who do you keep? Factor in money, age, experience, usefulness, all that.
So, Ju’Wan James, injured back to back years, approx. 18 mil next year, do you keep him?
Landry, heart and soul, but limited WR in that he can’t go deep or be the big go-to WR like Julio, OBJ etc. Have to pay him big contract, you keep him?
You want Matt Moore back next year?
So Cutler and Tannehill are out.
Pouncey? Bushrod? Do you want to keep Tunsil? (Keep him, because he’s cheap at least, and can improve…..)
Stills has to stay, he just signed. DVP, do you keep him?
Drake and D-Will are cheap, so keep them, or do you want them out?
We all agree Julius has to go, do you keep Fasano?
So, you keep Moore, Stills, Tunsil, maybe the RB duo, who else are you keeping? The players already on the team, who are you keeping?
Defense, you keeping Suh at 28 mil? Wake at his age, starting to slow down. We just re-signed Branch, like Stills, so he kinda has to stay. Harris is a rookie, easy keep at least. Philips, Godchaux?
You keep Timmons, or Kiko? We get Rake back next year, even tho he blew his knee the first play of his career, he’s young and cheap.
Reshad? TJ McDonald we signed for 4 years, so he should stay. Tank is a rookie, easy keep. How about Howard? You keepin him?
Kicker/Punter/Long Snapper
Who are you keeping out of that part of the group? Suh, Philips, Branch, Harris, Rake, Tank, TJ, Reshad? Howard? Anyone else?
Name the players you want kept off this 53 man roster, every single name. Show them to me, and then I will go from there.
Basically the only guys I want to keep are Landry, Stills, McMillan, Tank, Suh, and Harris as the jury is still out. Everything else can go, firesale!
Serious, if you start hypin Dion Jordan, I'll kick the **** out of you.
He didn't go get "his guys" and include Cutler. No. He got Julius, that is it. Julius Thomas, no one else.
Tannehill was hurt. If he's healthy, there is no Cutler. Get that thru your head.
He got ONE player that was "his", Julius Thomas. (They tried to get CJ Anderson, remember that? )
I have zero clue what Grier does.
My point is, you expect Gase to flip the entire roster in 18 months. That's a stupid expectation. Even if he had full control, he couldn't/shouldn't do that.
I don't care about Baum or Grier, bottom line, they have to get better players. Period.
Maxwell fits in Seattle, not Miami.
Ajayi worst Oline here, best (or 2nd best) in Philly. Of course he can look good there. You think Zeke would be good here in Miami? Or Richard Sherman playin off coverage?
They need to cut dead weight and build inside out.
OG, OG, C, DE, DT, LB, TE
I try to trade down 1-2 times and get 1-2 extra picks. Add another CB and LB.
Flip/cut Wake, Kiko, Pouncey, Julius.
I keep James and Landry.
Try to restructure Suh/Tannehill.
Spend SOME money on an extra CB + DE. Maybe even TE.
Take a flier on any RB, maybe a young UDFA to go with Drake/D-Will. Worry about a bellcow in 2019.
Again, even if we did ALL of this, still another year from cutting all dead weight. Maybe Reshad goes, maybe Suh, maybe we give up on DVP or Tunsil (in 2019, not '1
Kiko Alonso allowed 10 of 11 passes thrown against him to be caught for 138 yards in Sunday’s loss to Tampa Bay. For the season, Alonso has permitted completions on 48 of 59 passes for 523 yards and three touchdowns. Those 48 completions are second-most among all 4-3 outside linebackers.
Lawrence Timmons has allowed 29 of 39 passes thrown against him to be caught for 244 yards and two touchdowns, with a 107.2 passer rating in his coverage area.
Mike Hull, who played early in the season when Timmons went AWOL and was suspended for a game, has allowed all nine throws against him to be caught for 91 yards.
