Dolphins safety Walt Aikens has been thrown into the fire
With the loss of Louis Delmas and an ailing Reshad Jones second year fourth round pick Walt Aikens was thrown into the fire against the Jacksonville Jaguars. With only 14 tackles coming into the season, Aikens is an inexperienced safety and growing pains are to be expected. Starting safety Reshad Jones not only leads the league in tackles (tied with three others including Dolphins linebacker Jelani Jenkins,) but he has yet to miss a tackle this season. If Jones is limited, Aikens needs to step up and help the defense contain offenses on the back end.
