PBP: One factor in Dolphins’ resurgence: Players-only meetings in October

[Perfect72]

A lot has changed for the Dolphins since their 1-4 start, which could have easily been 0-5 if not for some nice breaks in the Cleveland game, and one of the differences is the defensive players taking more ownership.


Miami linebacker Jelani Jenkins said the defense started holding players-only film sessions in October, fostering accountability and a sharper commitment to the overall game plan.

“I think it’s a real, real trust in the system,” Jenkins said. “All 11 guys are on the same page, and we’re doing a lot better job communicating and the players working the system throughout the week and bringing everyone together and having players-only meetings and stuff like that. We’re working the game plan and trying to get in the mind of the defensive coordinator, so once we get on the field, we’re all locked into why he’s calling what he’s calling.

Not nearly enough love for this individual effort at the goal line.

I've always said Mitchell was a solid player. Good to have him back.

HOLDING was the appropriate term. Where was the flag on that play?

didnt really think about it at the time but definite flag ridiculous. Seemed refs and NFL needed San Diego to win. (stadium issues maybe?)
