I am so tired of see Bell stumbling, falling, being caught out of position and showing up two seconds after the play is over. How we keep this elderly boob on the roster year after year I am sure I have no idea. The points this guy has cost us is staggering.

I'd be interested in seeing Clemons & Jones at Safety at this point.

If by interesting you mean 10 times worse I agree wholeheartedly.

The good news is that the upcoming draft is very deep at Safety and by the looks of it we should be picking early. These guys are horrible.

I can care less at this point. Get a good GM and build us a team. Safety is just one postion of a long list of many that we need upgraded

More like in 40 years. I am beyond depressed with this team.

Nope. I'd be interested to see Jones move to Yeremiah's SS spot & Clemons regain his FS spot and see how they work together.

It was Chad Henne's fault...He's the reason this team sucks so badly...

Yeremiah Bell had a bad day but he's the best performer in the backfield this year, by far and away.

Whenever an opposing player eludes everyone else, it's Bell who runs him down and saves the TD. Small consolation, but we would be worse off without him.

He's not a Cornerback and should never have to cover Vincent Jackson by himself after Sean Smith hands Jackson (and the result of the play) off like he did today. If that was a mistake, shame on Smith; if it was by design, then shame on Nolan.

Why is Chad Henne the only player on this team that it's not okay to place blame on? For as many excuses as people make for Henne the same number of excuses could be made for anyone on this team. Vontae Davis is out with an injury. Carrol and Jones are more of a liability than anything in the secondary. The pass rush is non-existant outside of Cam Wake which constantly exposes the secondary. The defensive line can't get any penetration. All of these things are true, yet no one leaps to defend Yeremiah Bell. You know why? Because even though these things are true it doesn't change the fact that he's not playing well. Just like despite all the excuses you can come up with for Chad Henne, he's not playing well. And when it all boils down to it that's all that matters.

So seriously, tell me, why is Chad Henne the only player on this team that it's not okay to place blame on? I really want to know the answer.

No, you would not want that as Jones is awful as a FS, he would be just as out of position at SS as he simply is not a sound, fundamental player.

So it's not Yeremiah Bell's fault he blew his cover 2 deep zone assignment?

Reshad Jones is the human equivalent of a traffic cone. All he does is wear a uniform and ensure that he is one of eleven guys so we can field a legal Defense. Beyond that, he's useless.

The Dolphins don't have a single safety on the team who could start for most of the better teams in the NFL. Ireland has done a terrible job in selecting talent for the overall roster and the safety positions are where he has done much of his worst work.

Ummmmmm.......Yerimiah Bell was horrendous today. Stupid pass interference on a un-catchable ball on a big 3rd down. Got burned like toast on the VJ touchdown. Rashad Jones had to run over from the other side of the field to try to help Bell. Yerimiah has been a great player, a captain for us, for years, but the dude is ****ing done. He sucked out there today, and has all season. He hasnt done ****.

Clemons sucks too. Hes all over the field opposite of where the action actually is. Plus hes a SS playing FS, since Irish wouldnt know a true Free Safety if it bit him in the ass(see Gibril Wilson).

Don't forget his ****ty ball skills...on the Floyd illegal touching penalty, Smith could've easily had an INT
