The Dolphins defense has been subpar the last few weeks, to say the least. Their unit has given up a total of 102 points and 1,351 yards against the Bears, Lions, and Texans. If you average that up, that is 34 points and 450 yards per game over that span.

On Friday when he spoke to the media, defensive end Cameron Wake had a simple solution for the Dolphins recent defensive woes.

“Just do your job,” Wake said. “Plain and simple. Very simple. Whoever you are, whatever your responsibility is, do it. Now that I’ve gotten a chance to watch a lot of plays that didn’t go our way, it’s people taking turns not doing what they’re supposed to do. Once you get that fixed, I think it’ll make things a lot better.”

One of the Dolphins most significant problems this season has been their lack of a pass rush. They have just 11 sacks in eight games, which is 30th in the entire league.

Wake himself is on pace for career lows in sacks as he has just one on the year in six games. But he isn’t worried about recording sacks as he feels like that will come with time.

“Doing your job would probably do a lot to help stopping the run, and I think if we stop the run, then obviously you get more of a chance to rush the passer,” Wake said. “If a team can run the ball downfield and it’s third-and-1 and first down, first down, touchdown, where was the opportunity to get to the quarterback? The first job is to do your job. The second job is to stop the run. Then if you do that, I think that creates pass rush opportunities and then bunches will come.”
