The Miami Dolphins added plenty of new faces to the defensive line room this offseason as the team had to find a way to replace Christian Wilkins and Andrew Van Ginkel. Plus,
there is still no time line on when Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips will be fully healthy after the season ending injuries they sustained late in the year.
Which is why the defensive line has been a popular position to mock to the Dolphins in the first round. Defensive tackle has been the most common position mocked to the Dolphins as Byron Murphy II and Johnny Newton are the two big names, but there is not guarantee either of them are on the board when Miami selects at #21.
It’s January 14th, 2012. We’re at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. With 14 seconds to play, down three, and facing a third down, the 49ers need a score to keep their playoff hopes alive – without needing to roll the dice in overtime.
The Saints meanwhile can end this here with a takeaway and head to the NFC Championship Game themselves. To understand how we got here and to appreciate everything this moment represents, we need to rewind.
