DAVIE, Fla. -- One of the interesting debates surrounding the Miami Dolphins last year was how much blame -- if any -- should Ndamukong Suh get for the Dolphins finishing as the NFL’s 30th-ranked run defense?
On one end, it takes 11 players to stop the run, and Suh played well in 2016. He was Miami’s most dominant defensive player from Week 1 through Week 17, making his fifth Pro Bowl. He registered 72 tackles, five sacks and played in all 16 games.
On the other end, the Dolphins signed Suh to a $114 million contract to plug the middle and stuff the run, and that hasn’t happened as other players around Suh haven’t stepped up.
