Jersey , Fla. (AP) ¡ª The Miami Dolphins¡® run defense is stuck in reverse,
perhaps taking the season with it.Poor tackling, botched assignments and a
manhandling up front doomed the Dolphins on Sunday, when the Detroit Lions ran
for 248 yards to win 32-21.It was Detroit¡¯s biggest total in 21 years, and the
second bad game in a row for the Dolphins¡¯ run defense. They allowed 164 yards
rushing a week earlier but still somehow managed to beat the Chicago Bears in
overtime.¡°We have a lot of work to do,¡± defensive end Cameron Wake said. ¡°I¡¯m
not panicking yet.¡±Lions rookie Kerryon Johnson rushed for 158 yards on 19
carries, including a 71-yard draw play where he was untouched until tackled.
LeGarrette Blount added 50 yards on 10 carries, and both repeatedly broke
tackles as the Lions averaged 7.1 per rush.¡°Johnson, LeGarrette, they¡¯re big
backs

Jersey ,¡± Miami defensive tackle Akeem Spence said. ¡°With those guys, you
have to tackle in committee. One guy can¡¯t bring them down. You need two, three
guys. That¡¯s on the defense. We just have to be better.¡±With the loss, the
Dolphins (4-3) fell out of first place in the AFC East. Linebacker Raekwon
McMillan acknowledged they played on their heels.¡°We fell back on our
attack-type mentality,¡± he said.That meant the front seven was dominated, with
the line surge so tepid Miami had not one tackle for a loss.The issue extended
beyond running plays. Matt Stafford had plenty of time to throw and went 18 for
22 for 217 yards and two scores, with just one sack.¡°We couldn¡¯t stop them,¡±
Miami coach Adam Gase said. ¡°That¡¯s just what it was. They were executing better
than us, and we just didn¡¯t do enough to affect the quarterback. It didn¡¯t seem
like he got out of rhythm.¡°That was really the No. 1 thing we were talking about
all week. That guy, if you give him time and he doesn¡¯t feel the pressure up
front and we¡¯re not tight enough in
coverage
Reshad Jones
Jersey , you¡¯re going to have problems.¡±The Lions scored on seven of nine
possessions. They punted once and ran out the clock once.And they sustained
drives while converting only twice on third down. The Lions gobbled up yards in
such large chunks they earned 21 first downs on first- and second-down
plays.¡°I¡¯m pretty sure there weren¡¯t too many third-and-longs out there,¡± Wake
said.Miami¡¯s performance was reminiscent of a loss last November at Carolina,
when the Panthers racked up 294 yards rushing. The Dolphins won only two more
games the rest of the season.In this instance, solutions need to come quickly.
The Dolphins play Thursday at the Houston Texans (4-3), who earned their fourth
consecutive victory Sunday by winning at Jacksonville.¡°Usually I say you¡¯ve got
about 24 hours to pat yourself on the back or lick your wounds,¡± Wake said. ¡°Now
you¡¯ve got about 30 minutes.¡±
