Bradley Chubb emerging as ‘another coach’ in second season with defense

[DKphin]

After what linebacker Bradley Chubb called a challenging start to his Dolphins career due to new surroundings and injury, he is poised to emerge as an impact player – and a coach on the field.

Very very talented player, like Von Miller esque type movement and explosiveness coming out of college, but for some reason hasn’t put it all together

I don’t need him to be a coach....I want him to be the player he needs to be

I think he's gonna have a huge season.

I hope his first step is quicker than what we saw last year. He was ok and the pass rush improved overall once he got here, but his quickness off the ball was very meh and really surprised me.

Came to say this - he's too young to be pulling the "coach" thing.

He looked slow last year - hope that was because of an injury he no longer has.

10 sacks minimum bro - let's go.

Painfully slow with lots of critical missed tackles. Never been more upset with Grier in my life. Chubb needs to play MUCH better this year or we threw away another first round pick and stupid amount of cash. Hopefully last year was an aberration.

No excuses for Chubb with a full camp and Vic as DC.

I think that’s quite a reductive way of looking at things.

A big part of the impact we saw from Tyreek and Armstead was their roles as leaders and culture setters.

If Chubb can have a similar impact of the defense that’s a good thing.

Chubb was a fantastic acquisition and the “coach” thing shows his commitment to learning and leading - this is very very good news - he and Jaelen are gonna be special!!! Enjoy!!!

that's all good and dandy but HE needs to focus on playing better. The other stuff will come if he plays well.

Overall this is a positive statement for him wanting to "coach" his teammates. Outside of Tindall there really isn't anyone he could really coach. I would prefer he led by example, put in extra time on the field and film room and show the younger guys commitment, nutrition and lifestyle needed to be an elite pro.

This is his 2nd tour of duty w/ Fangio.
