On safety Bacarri Rambo: “Well, he’s in the same boat as Donald Butler’s been for us. He’s a veteran player that’s played. He’s going to play some safety for us obviously in some sub packages. It allows us to play Michael (Thomas) at some nickel and dime this week. He’s a guy that’s played at a high level. He’s smart; he’s tough. He’s got some range in high zone, so losing Reshad (Jones), it kind of gives us a guy who has showed range in high thirds and high halves and quarters. It helps to have a guy like that.”
On cornerback Bene Benwikere: “He’s working. He’s working to be a good player for us. He’s a nickel player. As a nickel player, it’s like being a linebacker sometimes but being a defensive back sometimes. It’s a lot more learning for him, so he’s not there yet. He’s working towards being ready. Hopefully in a couple of weeks he can get up and show us what he can do.”
• Joseph said cornerback Chris Culliver is not “totally ready” to play in an NFL game yet.
According to Pro Football Focus, the Dolphins’ Laremy Tunsil has graded out better than all but two NFL guards the past two games, and for the season, he’s 21st overall as a run-blocker among all guards and 46th as a pass-blocker.
Tunsil “is just improving in big strides. Big strides!” Christensen said.
Speaking of the running game, sharp Dolphins observer Chris Kouffman, who has written Dolphins content for Bleacher Report and elsewhere, notes Miami is averaging 6.3 per carry when Marqueis Gray is the one tight end in three receiver sets.
