Nfl Scouting Combine 2019: Why Dolphins’ Brian Flores Will Yield Defensive Play-calling

[mrbunglez]

INDIANAPOLIS — Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores called defensive plays for the Super Bowl-winning New England Patriots but will yield that responsibility to incoming defensive coordinator Patrick Graham.

This will allow Flores to focus on his role as leader of the team. And Flores trusts Graham to handle the assignment.

“I’m very confident in his ability as a play-caller,” Flores said Wednesday at the NFL Scouting Combine. “But it’s a collaborative effort. It really is. You know. Having done it for a year, I know it’s not just one person making the call. You’re getting thoughts, comments, help, really, that’s the word, from various people. Whether it’s the corners coach, the safeties coach, the head coach. So it’s definitely a collaborative effort.”

Just as he stated in the comment, it's a collaborative effort that includes position coaches as well as the head coach. So, I'm sure Flores will be giving input to the calls, or at least checking off on them.
Much different than Gase totally ignoring the game at times when the defense was on the field.

Im so happy to hear this!

Last thing I wanted was another coach with his head buried in his playsheet half the game. (And when I say half, I'me being generous.)

Flores wants to be the HC.....Gase wanted to be the OC

He won't be far if helps needed, just down the sideline a bit.

That's the difference. Off to a great start already, know your place.

He certainly paid a lot of attention to that bench!
