Jordyn Brooks joins David Long Jr. with the Dolphins hoping the duo can make a big impact for the defense
Despite making the playoffs for a second straight season under coach Mike McDaniel in 2024, the Miami Dolphins are still looking for their first playoff win since 2000. The quest for that victory starts with training camp.
Long’s best plays came against the run. He’s a quality gap shooter and intelligent player who will keep the Dolphins’ run defense sound in the middle. Long’s work in coverage needs to improve this coming season, though.Brooks is one of Miami’s biggest signings from this offseason. The former Seahawks linebacker was brought in to replace Jerome Baker, who the team cut this offseason.
Tindall barely saw the field last season and is heading into Year 3 with almost zero total playing time. With that said, the Dolphins are expected to roll out Brooks and Long as their starting linebackers. While those players have the skills to be solid coverage options, they’ve been mostly inconsistent in that area so far.
For starters, Brooks’ film in coverage is much better than his stats and PFF grades suggest. His speed and quickness allow him to prevent big gains when he gives up receptions, and there’s clearly a high ceiling to how he sees the game.
