Miami's offensive line has been a pleasant surprise every week. Right tackle Austin Jackson deserves love after struggling early in his career.Defensively, we spotlight Andrew Van Ginkel, who leads the team with four sacks, and DeShon Elliot, who is arguably Miami's most underated free agent signing through five weeks. The Dolphins don't feature a playoff-ready defense, but defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has the unit headed in the right direction.Another Dolphins Podcast is hosted by Joshua Houtz (@Houtz) and Jake Mendel (@JMendel94) with Marek Brave (@MBrave13) joining as a guest host.
