A six-pack of Dolphins notes on a Thursday:
u25aa At times, it looks like middle linebacker Raekwon McMillan has been a step slow this season. But the problem, defensive coordinator Matt Burke said, is actually the opposite.
“Sometimes, he’s too fast in a reactionary sense,” Burke said Thursday. “He reacts to things too quick and gets himself out of position. I’ve talked to him about slowing down.
“He overreacts [at times] to play action. He sees a run and runs 100 miles per hour and [the runner] cuts back and he overruns things.”
So Burke and linebackers coach Frank Bush have tried to get McMillan to “slow down in his head and give him half a step in diagnosing,” Burke said.
