DAVIE (CBSMiami/AP) — Some might say that the Miami Dolphins have an embarrassment of riches on its defensive line.
Ndamukong Suh jokingly says he hopes the Dolphins let him start this year.
In truth, they expect him to spend little time on the sideline.
The Dolphins have five defensive tackles, but only one has a $114 million contract. Coach Joe Philbin wants to make the most of the team’s investment in Suh, beginning with the season opener Sunday at Washington.
“When you study his background, it’s impressive the amount of snaps he has played,” Philbin said.
