The Miami Dolphins should change their name to the “Olphins” until they can find the “D” in “defense.” Once again, it seemed as if the defense was absent this week.

Yes, the defense came away with three turnovers. However, they were all in the first half, and none led to points. Those turnovers did not stop Andrew Luck and the Colts’ offense from carving up the defense for 455 yards.

It looked like it was 7-on-7 drills the way the Colts moved the football with ease. Every time the Dolphins scored, the Colts were allowed to march right down the field and answer. When the Dolphins were up by 10 points, the defense answered by allowing Luck to lead his team right down the field for an easy score.

In a tie game, the defense needed a stop, but instead, it allowed the Colts to make into field goal range in just three plays. The defense could not stop them from cruising down the field.

Too many times it seems the linebackers and defensive linemen were out of position. The wide-9 defense that Burke employs seems to leave far too many holes in coverage and far too many open run lanes.

It is time for Adam Gase to make a decision and move on from Burke. Gase will likely enter next season on the hot seat, and his defense falling flat is not something he can afford. He will need to find a quality defensive coordinator if they want to be successful.
