The Phinsider
This past week, following the question post for your choice for the offensive breakout player of the upcoming season, I followed it up with the other side of the ball:
Who is your projected Miami Dolphins breakout candidate on defense for the upcoming season, and why?
Below are some of your thoughts and answers-
Finsane1 seems excited to see what the second-year corner might bring this coming season.
Before checking the Article, the Headline had me like, “Marshall, Marshall, Marshall” FinsUp!!!
Dolfanjoe believes that the young DT will break out this year.
Jordon Phillips will rise to fame, Came on so strong last year and will fill what they want, and that is to stop opposing teams running game. Add with what might be a great linebacking corp. and front line, teams may have to turn to the pass all game long. Great receivers and QBs give every team trouble ! But if that is all they can beat you with you can prepare.
phyrmun is ready to see what the Texas Tech linebacker brings to the table.
JRod Sideline to sideline..
JUK wonders why so many are excited about the late-round pick vs. the guy who has shown more thus far.
I find it interesting so many people pick Biggers rather than Grant. Grant is unquestionably a more physically talented player, and he was the better player last year too.
I think it’s down to expectations – because Biggers was a 7th round pick people get excited by the flashes and forgive the patchy consistency, but do the opposite for Grant as a first rounder.
None of this is to say I don’t like Biggers, and I’m intrigued to see what hafley does with him (will he be a big end in 4 man fronts?) but Grant is a much more likely breakout candidate
StanleyDoyle1 believes in both young DTs.
I think both Phillips and Biggers will take the leap.
Phoenix6 is another on the Phillips bandwagon.
Jordan Phillips 2.0 Is Setting Himself Up for More Success…
showing up consistently w ith outstanding work ethic & improved (phenomenal) physique… coupled w ith the energy & seriousness he takes at his position, is going to have h im making a major breakout this season.
PA phinphan believes it’s the third-year pass rusher that needs to step up this coming season.
Chop Robinson needs to be the Dolphins defensive breakout player. If he can consistently set the edge against the run and generate pressure on the QB, the defense could be very successful. They need him to be the tone setter.
Lefty5150 believes it might be Phillips, but is also excited to see what Louis has at this level.
It’s hard to disagree with Phillips here but let’s go out on a limb and say that Kyle Louis makes enough plays to make us all forget about that Van Winkle errr Ginkle fella.
