[h=3]3) Miami Dolphins[/h] Whenever a defense adds arguably the most destructive defensive tackle in the NFL, the unit has an opportunity to field one of the best D-lines in the game. Thus, the Dolphins deserve a spot on this list after adding Ndamukong Suh, the crown jewel of free agency, this offseason. The sixth-year pro absolutely obliterates blocking schemes at the point of attack, creating chaos with his unique skills as a run stopper and pass rusher. Suh has 36 career sacks in five seasons (including 8.5 in 2014) and creates one-on-one opportunities for edge rushers by commanding double teams on the inside. With Cameron Wake and Olivier Vernon previously wreaking havoc off the edges without an All-Pro presence on the interior (the duo combined for 38 sacks over the past two seasons), the addition of Suh makes the Dolphins' pass rush frightening.
Miami also stands to benefit from the addition of Jordan Phillips to the rotation. The team's second-round pick is one of the most naturally gifted defensive tackles in the 2015 class, but questions about his work ethic and motor led to a slide down the charts on draft day. If he brings the effort and energy consistently, Phillips could join Suh to spark a much-improved defensive line.

Not even a mention of Fede in the article.
 
Good picks by Brooks. I love the Fins D-line. He is right about Washington's moves too.

The talk leading up to the opener will be RGIII and his play/antics. However, blocking their D-line and running with their receivers will be key.
 
Like what?

Beating on the 2nd team of a pretty crappy OL? Let him do something when it matters before praise comes in.

An up and coming player that could add to the success of the D line along with Shelby. I was just saying as it could seem like this part of the article was rubber stamped with a lot things we already know.
