Dolphins player describes the nightmare of planning for Khalil Mack
One can understand why the Dolphins are nervous. Their offensive line has struggled in pass protection of late. Right tackle Ja'wuan James, who will have to deal with Mack during the game, has been among the primary culprits. He'll likely be getting a lot of help from tight ends and running backs trying to slow the Bears star down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOYIM9UI8m4&t=3s It's little wonder Miami even referenced the hot weather expected for the game as another advantage they can use. If they're able to sustain some drives, the heat will eventually sap the Chicago pass rush in the 4th quarter. It has some merit. In two home games this year, the Dolphins have scored 31 combined points in the final quarter. Then again the Bears have allowed just 17 points in the 4th over the past three games. So something will have to give. Since Mack is known for his late-game success, it stands to reason the Dolphins made need to count on more than the weather to help them in this one."Definitely a game changer. A scheme wrecker. It's easy to kind of just look at him and try to key on him because he shows up so much, and so often. When a guy is that disruptive, you have to accommodate more than just one body to him, because it's hard to try to contain him with even two guys ... let alone one person, it's almost impossible."
The respect didn't stop there. Drake continued: "As we've seen over the last few weeks, he can go in and be a game changer. A play or two and he changes the trajectory of a game. So he's definitely somebody that's on our radar that we have to make sure we always keep accountable."
