Dolphins' Taco Charlton: Sacks in consecutive weeks

[DKphin]

Charlton finished Miami's 30-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday with six tackles (four solo) and a sack.

Charlton was able to bring the opposing quarterback down for a sack Sunday, giving the third-year pro a sack in each of his first two games of 2019. Not on the field for the season's first two contests, Charlton has seen his role with the Dolphins increase over the past two weeks, playing 48 snaps in Week 4 after logging 30 snaps the previous week. Still yet to make a real impression in his NFL career, the 24-year-old defensive end is definitely trending in the right direction

Nice pick up, no downside. Hope he keeps it up because if so we struck gold

Dallas was a coverage sack but this week he smoked the tackle.

Dallas was a coverage sack but this week he smoked the tackle.

Once he got past the tackle, his speed getting to Rivers was impressive.

It was a tight end he got past, not a tackle

At least we finally have someone that can do that :/

Taco looks comfortable playing in the hybrid role Miami has used him in. After a pedestrian career, so far, perhaps his new role in Miami is the perfect fit?

Sorry was watching on my phone and assumed. Small screen.

When can Van Ginkel and Nkemdiche return? I'm all about seeing guys this year.

 

[WCUPUNK]

Taco the only player on the roster that has any pass rush ability at this point, even it is just being able to beat a TE. i think it is safe to completely right off Charles Harris, which kind of sucks because he is an amazing guy.

 

[Phinatic8u]

He's been a solid pickup.

I see him being around for awhile.

 

[Michael Scott]

Should stick as depth at minimum, but definitely has the talent to be a player. Seems very hungry to prove the doubters wrong, and our defensive coaches have raved about him.

At least we found a Charles Harris replacement. He can be let go at the end of the season. There is nothing there.

Absolutely great point. But, I gotta say, he did look decent doing it. Maybe he's finally learning how to use his frame? Fingers crossed. DE beating a TE 1v1 isn't really news, as @RobertHorry so correctly points out. But, this did look a bit like it might be a baby step towards something bigger.

When a 1st round draft pick is released on their rookie deal how does it work when they are claimed on waivers? Is he on a 1 year deal or did we pick up the rest of his rookie deal without the guaranteed money (this would be his 3rd year and we’d have him under contract next year as well)?

OTOH, Quiinn, who we gave away for a 4th? has been terrific for Dallas .

Considering our bounty of picks, would rather have him now than what we got for him!
