Outlook: Safety, Can Yeremiah Bell get some help?
[picappgallerysingle id="6637670"]Well the Gibril Wilson experiement didn’t really work out, neither did trying to get a high profile free agent this offseason.
So the Dolphins enter the 2010 season with one of their most glaring holes right next to maybe their defense’s best player.
Yeremiah Bell has been a stud over the past two seasons, recording over 100 tackles each year. Last year his team-leading 114 tackles, along with three picks, earned Bell his first ever Pro Bowl nod.
Look for Bell to again be very busy back there, especially with what looks to be a rotating position next to him. That is unless somebody steps up dramatically this preseason.
Chris Clemons looks to have the poll position in the race so far, that is unless “Deer” can avoid looking like one in headlights on deep plays over the middle. “Deer” by the way is his nickname for his blazing speed growing up.
Tyrone Culver puts up the best fight for Clemons’ spot, he was one of just a few players in the NFL to pick off Drew Bress last year. But his contributions were mostly on special teams.
Behind them, there’s a slew of players that haven’t stepped on the field on a Sunday yet. Rookies Reshad Jones, Jonathon Amaya, Ross Weaver and returning practice squad player Nate Ness round out a group of youngsters that Dolphins brass hopes to get some kind of contribution from.
Despite Bell’s strong play as of late, if he doesn’t get help at the other safety spot the passing game could once again be Miami’s weak spot on defense.
