If the Miami Dolphins defense wants to hold opposing offenses in check this season, it will likely have to be the front seven that does it. With a thin and inexperienced group of cornerbacks, Miami will have to try to get to the Quarterback. So far in training camp, the group of defensive linemen and linebackers has turned heads. “Just the energy everybody brought from the d-line to the outside linebackers to the linebackers, everybody brings the same energy. So if one person has the energy, everybody is going to adapt to it. And then when you’ve got the front seven doing their job, it’s easy for the backend,” said linebacker Chop RobinsonLinebacker Chop Robinson is poised for a breakout year two, Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb are back from injury and first-round pick Kenneth Grant hopes to make an immediate impact inside the line alongside Zach Sieler. If those scenarios come to fruition, the team should be in good shape. Sieler is coming off back-to-back 10-sack seasons and is looking for a new contract while still grinding at practice.”This is how I choose to handle, but I hope the message that it puts out is at the end of the day, we’re going to play football. Now obviously that stuff is very important. That stuff is very important to me; the respect and the money that family gets and makes from this game, we give it all on the line every single day. I’m going to continue to do that every day, but to be able to go out there and work, despite everything, I think I’m trying to show that you can go out there and play your best ball and still work through stuff without having to compartmentalize things,” Sieler said.
