DAVIE, Fla. - Ndamukong Suh concedes he can play better, which doesn’t help Joe Philbin or Kevin Coyle.
For the first time in his six-year career, Suh remains without a sack four games into the season. The Miami Dolphins newcomer has only one quarterback hurry, and his unit ranks last in the NFL in both sacks and run defense.
Such dismal production contributed to last week’s firing of head coach Philbin and defensive coordinator Coyle. Management is hoping the shake-up will jump-start Suh and his teammates.
“I don’t think anybody has played up to their level,” Suh said Wednesday, speaking publicly for the first time since the coaching changes.
