Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald is reporting that Alonso does not want to move outside. As Salguero puts it Alonso views the interior as his position. In 2016 Alonso had his best statistical season since his rookie campaign. He had 115 tackles to lead the team and two interceptions. One of which was a game winning pick-six. Add four passes defensed and pressure on the QB and Alonso impressed.
Salguero points out that Alonso has never played in back-to-back seasons with the same defensive system. With the departure of Vance Joseph to Denver as their new HC and the promotion of Matt Burke to DC the Dolphins defensive system isn’t expected to change.
