Miami’s Brian Flores on the Defensive Line: We wanted to bring in good players

The Miami Dolphins allowed 135 yards per game on the ground in 2019 — the sixth-worst mark in the league. In 2018, they allowed 145 yards per game on the ground, the league’s second-worst mark.

2019 also featured the worst pass rush in the league, averaging 1.4 sacks per game. Things weren’t better in 2018 as the Dolphins averaged just under two sacks a game, the league’s third-worst total.

In order to rebuild the trenches, Miami signed Shaq Lawson and Emmanuel Ogbah to multi-year deals, but also drafted Raekwon Davis (pick 56), Jason Strowbridge (pick 154) and Curtis Weaver (pick 164).
