Dolphins' potential upgrades on defense: Justin Simmons, Gregory Rousseau
DAVIE, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins defense attacked offenses with a confusing, blitz-happy and man-heavy scheme throughout the 2020 season. But the lasting memory for that unit is its Week 17 loss in Buffalo when Bills quarterback Josh Allen and the starters played only the first half, yet the Bills put up 56 points.
Despite spending parts of the season with the No. 1 scoring defense, the Dolphins aren't a finished product. While still the strongest part of a young team, Miami's defense can use that Week 17 blowout as fuel to avoid complacency and add more sideline-to-sideline playmaking speed and elite pass rush.
