New Dolphins HC Jeff Hafley Sets Tone At Line of Scrimmage, Doing So Unconventionally | FOX Sports

One look late in practice had Pro Bowler Brian Burns and second-year pro Abdul Carter at edge, with Kayvon Thibodeaux as an interior rusher and rookie linebacker Arvell Reese standing directly over the A-gap as another potential rusher.
