The Miami Dolphins announced Mike McDaniel as the 14th head coach in franchise history in early February. Since then, McDaniel has critiqued the team’s roster as he builds a group that can run his offense, one inspired by San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan — who McDaniel spent nine seasons working with.
The Dolphins acquired a handful of players who worked with McDaniel in San Francisco, including Raheem Mostert, Trent Sherfield and Mohamed Sanu.
While Mostert didn’t play in Miami’s first preseason game, Sanu and Sherfield were both active and made an obvious impact on offense.
