Though his signing may have flown under the national radar, Richard Marshall has already made an impact on the Dolphins defense, emerging as one of the unit’s early leaders.
The first-year Dolphins cornerback joined The Finsiders to talk about defensive adjustments and how pace can affect production.
After a lackluster performance in the preseason opener, Marshall said defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle told the first-team defense in meetings that they need to “play with their hair on fire.”
“I don’t know what the problem was and why we weren’t getting to the ball fast, but the second group definitely showed what we want our defense to be,” Marshall said.
Two things are always paramount when your talking about the defensive line for the Miami Dolphins: your numbers against the run and how may times you can either sack or pressure the opposing quarterback. The run defense in 2011 was stellar, holding opponents to 95.6 yards per game, which ranked third in the NFL. The Dolphins were also third in the league holding teams to 3.71 yards per carry!
