More from Dolphins News
Speaking with 120sports.com, Thomas told the hosting duo that last years defense was vanilla and that other teams knew it was vanilla. He also said that the defense was “hand-cuffed” by not being allowed to make changes or calls at the line. This is something that has been a problem since the arrival of Joe Philbin so it’s not a surprise.
The Dolphins of course fired Philbin and defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle after week four of the season so it might be safe to assume that the Dolphins could have turned it around and allowed the team to play more freely the remaining 12 weeks.
