I was talking to an astute NFL personnel man late Tuesday afternoon when the conversation turned to Sunday’s game between the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. And he made the point that Bill Belichick’s team must be unhappy the Dolphins will be without defensive ends William Hayes and Andre Branch on Sunday.
And it took me a minute to figure out what he was saying but it eventually started to make sense because his logic was impeccable.
His point was the Dolphins the first two games and much of the third game this season have been sticking to new defensive line coach Kris Kocurek’s plan of shuttling linemen in and out of the game.
