The Miami Dolphins They received a hard blow at the beginning of this week, after the team coach, Mike McDaniel, confirmed that the Kader Kohou cornerback will not be able to play in the next season of the NFL for an injury in one of his knees.
“It will enter the reserve of injured,” said McDaniel, in statements collected by The Palm Beach Post.
The fact that the cornerback position is the weakest for the southern Florida set and without a doubt Kohou was the most viable alternative for the combined in that position.
“I was shattered until I talked to Kader and honestly he made me feel a little better, simply because of his mentality,” McDaniel added.
Now, Miami will need the newcomer veteran Mike Hilton to fill the immense vacancy. As for the external cornerback position, the newly acquired Jack Jones and Storm Duck, in addition to Cam Smith and Kendall Sheffield, are emerging as the main options to appear in the titular alignment.
Jones is characterized by being quite athletic and aggressive, but allowed many touchdowns and failed several cups in the last season.
For his part, Smith has not yet been able to meet the expectations that arrived after his selection as a second round of the draft.
Meanwhile, Duck played quite well in the previous campaign, which he arrived as a rookie who was not selected in the draw.
Sheffield, in turn, is clearly seen as a low profile option.
Other available parts
Similarly, Dolphins also have Ethan Bonner, Jason Marshall, Isaiah Johnson and Cornell Armstrong as alternatives for cornerback post.
McDaniel said the opportunities will arrive for cornerbacks that show consistency and in which it can depend. The instructor also indicated that the mental part is so important, or perhaps more, than physics.
The Dolphins High Command, looking for the claim after a disappointing previous tournament, could also choose to sign another experience with experience from the market and an alternative can be Rasul Douglas.
