Dansby energized by potential of new defense

I may be a minority here, but I love when Dansby does this.

Shows he isn't afraid to back down, and will be a leader on this defense
 
he should be excited, especially with two probowlers like Soliai and Starks taking blockers on infront of him.

I don't mind Dansby saying what he said, I just want him to start making the game changing plays he was brought here to make. If Cryole and his defensive scheme can help him do that then great. If not, Dansby probably won't be in Miami in 2013.

Nolan is probably universally thought of as a better defensive coordinater than Cryole.

I read somewhere that Dansby was out of shape last year due to the lockout and didn't get back to his best shape until the middle of the season. Not sure how accurate that is.

Dansby is starting to remind me of Crowder, he seems like a 'talker'. Last season he was talking about being the best linebacker in the NFL. Not a good sign IMO, especially with absolutely nothing to show to back it up. It sets the wrong example.

He can be a very good linebacker, he can bring the wood & seems able play very well in coverage SOMETIMES. Besides Dansby and his family I seriously doubt there is anyone who considers him the best linebacker in the NFL. Those are empty words & could be the very words that kept him from being in shape last season.

Since this is Cryole first attempt at being a defensive coordinator so of course Nolan would be universally thought of as a better defensive coordinator. As good as Nolan is as a DC, his defenses often struggled to close out games. I'm hoping Croyle can change that.

As for Dansby
Dolphins linebacker Karlos Dansby thought he was maintaining a proper diet as he prepared for the season on his own during the NFL lockout.

"I was eating salads and certain dressings," he told reporters after Sunday's victory over Washington. "I thought I was eating good."

But he wasn't. He said he reported to training camp at 270 pounds, 20 above his listed playing weight. Fifteen weeks since the start of camp, he's finally down to 246 pounds.

"I don't know what the hell kind of dressing he was using," coach Tony Sparano joked Monday.
