Assani,
A few points
1. Isolating pass defense is sort of silly. Run D and Pass D are highly correlated and if a team has a bad Run D than the other team runs a lot so they need to counter it by putting in more run defenders which opens up the passing game.

BTW I just kinda glossed over this, but....
The Dolphins had the #6 ranked pass D last year. This year, taking away the Pats game I believe they are #3 or #4.
If their bad rush D opened up things for opponents to pass so much then why weren't more teams doing it?
There is absolutely no way that you can honestly think that the Dolphins suck at pass D. Its just not true.
