Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle is under fire. And I admit, I'm one of the people aiming at him.

But it is all professional, folks. It is not personal.

I blogged what I blogged after Sunday's game -- namely, that he needs to be fired. And I showed up at Coyle's presser today so that he could see me and if he wanted to discuss, complain, whatever, he'd have that opportunity. But Coyle instead conducted his presser in a professional manner and everyone continues about their business.

This is everything he said during the availability:

(On what is going on with the defensive front) –“I don’t think we’ve had a tremendous amount of opportunity in terms of the pressure and the sacks. We’ve missed some opportunities. We’ve seen teams that are throwing the ball very quickly. We’ve seen teams a couple times yesterday that had seven-man-protections that make it very difficult to get there. We’ve just got to keep working at it. We have guys that we believe are excellent pass rushers and they’re going to keep on pushing and hopefully that’ll take care of itself as we move forward. We’re disappointed but yet our guys are working hard.”

(On how healthy DE Cameron Wake is) –“I can’t give you a percentage as to where he’s at. I’m not a doctor and I’m not sure what that would be. I don’t think we necessarily have to have Cam playing 50 snaps per game at this point. I think we need our guys as fresh as they possibly can be. When the opportunity comes to rush the passer certainly we want Cam in there. We look at it from a week to week standpoint. Each team is different. We didn’t anticipate this last team throwing the ball a whole lot. As they had come out in their first game, they only threw the ball 19 times. We were a little bit surprised when they came out and threw it five times in a row to open up the game with that thought in mind. The Jets threw it 58 times yesterday so it’s one extreme to the next. We’ll have to see. I think Cam is getting healthier and we hope that he’ll be back in his top form real soon.”

(On if he could have imagined that this defense would be ranked near the bottom in almost every category) –“No. I couldn’t imagine that but that’s the reality of what it is and that’s my job. I take responsibility for that. It’s on my shoulders. It’s my job to make sure we are playing winning defense and I’ve got to get that done. I’m disappointed, but I’m mostly disappointed in myself. I’ve got to do a better job getting those guys in the right spots and I’m going to do everything I can to accomplish that."

(On what makes him think that this team can do it after last year’s late struggles) –“I don’t think it has anything to do with last season. I think we’ve got a different team. We’re playing new opponents. I’m worried about how we’re going to perform here come Sunday in London. I know we’ve got to get better and it’s my job to ensure that we will."

(On how to fix these issues) –“We’ve got to try to make sure that everyone is on the same page. That’s something that we’ve been emphasizing since the end of last season. We’ve got to simplify some things, we’ll do that. It’s been real frustrating up to this point."

(On what the identity of the defense is) –“I don’t think we’ve shown our identity yet to be quite honest with you. We’ve been playing on our heels a little bit throughout the past three games. We haven’t just been able to go out and attack. I think that’s something that we need to address as we move forward. Eliminate the thinking and just let guys to just go out there and play football. Hopefully that will show what our guys are capable of doing as we move forward."

(On if CB Brice McCain was giving cushion to the receiver was by design or his own style) –“Like I’ve said to you all before, I really don’t want to talk about individual players. We’ve got to be better in all areas. We’ve got to do a better job in the rush. We’ve got to do a better job in the coverage. I thought yesterday the run defense was better. The numbers get a little bit skewed and I’ll take the blame at the end of the game for trying to make something happen. When they had the ball late and I called the pressure and we kind of got caught in the pressure and the ball wound back and went for that long touchdown run. But it was something I was trying to call to make something happen at the end of the game. Trying to knock the ball off them and t just didn’t work. Sometimes that happens. At the same time, that was a pretty good running football team. They had a couple toss crack sweeps that got outside of us. For the most part, I think we did a decent job there. Overall we just have to play better in all areas."

(On if CB Bobby McCain would get more snaps) –“We’re going to consider everything. We are going to meet tonight and tomorrow as we game plan. Again, every team is different. You go from one week to the next, you’ve got to determine what the Jets are doing and how our personnel fit best as we try to deploy them for the game. We’re going to consider everybody and try to come up with the best matchups we can get."

(On where CB Bobby McCain is at right now) –“Bobby has been playing predominately on special teams. He did some good things in preseason for us and we’ll see how things go as we move along. He’s been active for the games. We’re always looking for roles for players to assume and we’ll see if he’s up to speed this week."

(On if running a 5-2 defense helped him last year) –“In the big picture at times it could help but it distracts from some of the other things you’re doing. We have to weigh it out and determine if that’s something that we feel as we go forward would help us with where we are at right now. It’s not always better the more you do. We can certainly attest to that. That is one of the reasons we’ve kind of backed off on some of that stuff here in the offseason."

(On how DT Ndamukong Suh played) –“I thought he played better yesterday. He was more disruptive inside, and I think he’s getting more comfortable as we continue."
