Mike McDaniel has locker room lab work unveiled

-

MIAMI GARDENS — Once in a while, I bow to the thoughts of Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel. Wednesday, the primary day media was allowed within the locker room, was a type of days.

I’m at all times fascinated by the Dolphins’ locker room seating association. It’s distinctive. McDaniel places thought into it.

“I’ve a good time with it simply because it’s nuanced,” McDaniel mentioned.

Most NFL locker rooms seat defensive linemen with defensive linemen, huge receivers with huge receivers, and so forth. Consequently, gamers by no means get to know their different teammates, particularly these on the opposite aspect of the ball. McDaniel does it in a different way. He mixes everybody in response to who he thinks can be fascinating mixtures. He encourages gamers who usually wouldn’t socialize with one another to bond. 

In 2023, for instance, fullback Alec Ingold, who grew up in Inexperienced Bay, was seated subsequent to cornerback Xavien Howard and huge receiver Jaylen Waddle, a pair of Houston natives who gave him an schooling on music in addition to rising up of their metropolis.

McDaniel referenced a time a participant acquired right into a “aggressive argument” with somebody on the opposite aspect of the ball.

“In April,” McDaniel mentioned, “they’re locker mates.”

I requested Dolphins veteran exterior linebacker Bradley Chubb why he thinks his locker is subsequent to veteran proper guard James Daniels. Throughout from them are third-year working again De’Von Achane and rookie left guard Jonah Savaiinaea, and, down from them a couple of lockers, veteran proper guard Larry Borom.

“To be trustworthy, I’ve been questioning the identical factor, bro,” Chubb mentioned. “I actually don’t know. However you get to develop nearer with guys that you just don’t often discuss to.

“Me and James have been cool. I get to sit down throughout from Achane. Jonah’s coming alongside; I get an opportunity to mess with him and be cool with him. I’m nonetheless attempting to get Larry to be my buddy. However it’s been going clean.”
