A six-pack of Dolphins notes on a Tuesday:
u25aa During his introductory press conference as Dolphins head coach, Brian Flores made clear he wants to play multiple defenses that change looks and try to get other teams off balance, as the Patriots have.
New general manager Chris Grier fully supports that — it’s clear they agree on many things philosophically — but admits it will be more challenging to put together a roster with front seven defenders who can play in a 4-3 or 3-4.
The Dolphins have played primarily a 4-3 in recent years. Playing a 3-4 would require Miami to add outside linebackers who can rush the quarterback.
