Van Noy on McAfee Show

The one thing KVN mentioned that I find interesting is how the team is young and the guys love football. It starts to paint a picture of why we picked guys like Brandon Jones and Kindley. They love football. It’s obvious just by watching them play that they leave everything out on the field. Regardless of our final record, this season has been great to see. I really can’t remember seeing players and coaches have such a positive relationship in Miami.
 
This team has some serious character these days. Much love to Coach Flo really changing the culture in Miami. How many times did we go through these culture changes that amounted to garbage over the years? Great interview.
 
KVN is my favourite Dolphin win a Super Bowl and he’ll my favourite of all time
 
And how bout some love for the way general manager Chris Grier engineered this team. He helped purge the malcontents and dead weight by replacing them with people who love the game of football and give 100% every time they play.

After two decades of being in the darkness, we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Best part is we have room to improve the roster in the future while this year we have been so far ahead of schedule IMO, not to mention we are building a beautiful practice facility near the stadium. Sunny days are definitely ahead for us.

Plus another multi high pick draft.

There's no reason we can't draft a minimum 2 (maybe 3 or 4) upgrade starters. Add 2 or 3 mid tier FAs and , with Flo at the helm, we should immediately be a top level team.
 
I’m trying to just enjoy the ride this year because after another offseason in which Miami has 4 picks in the Top 50-55 spots along with Free Agency, the expectations for this team taking the next step are going to be huge. That’s when losses start to hurt so much much more.

The culture change becomes easier for the coaching staff to implement, when you get the right players as leaders to build around. This is a key part of the equation that is not so easy for us just watching the players playing the games, to see what differentiates natural leadership. It wasn't an accident or just good luck that players like Kyle Van Noy, Byron Jones (Dolphins nominee for the Walter Payton award), O-line captain, Ted Karras and Special Teams captain, Clayton Fejedelem were key free agent acquisitions - they all provide leadership. Together with veterans like Fitz and Bobby McCain, Coach Flo appears to have consciously set about strengthening team leadership.
In addition, Tua Tagovailoa while still a rookie with natural talent, also appears to have the temperament and potential leadership attributes to build for the future.
Maybe it's not just a coincidence that Coach Flo, GM Chris Grier and Asst GM Marvin Allen all originally came from the New England Patriots, a team that built success and a strong team culture. Yes, Grier came from the Bill Parcells era, while Flo and Marvin Allen were taught by Bill Belichick, but it could be strongly argued that Parcells helped to develop Belichick and he knew something about leadership and building team culture.
