Part 9/13:
Miami's defense deserves considerable credit for their recent revival. Under the stewardship of defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, the unit has begun playing up to expectations. Defensive standouts like Bradley Chubb and Jordan Brooks have stepped forward, providing leadership and production.
Brooks has emerged as a tackling machine, potentially on pace for over 190 tackles this season, while Chubb has finally been giving the team the pass-rush threat many anticipated, totaling 1.5 sacks and multiple quarterback hits in their latest game. Leadership from these veterans, along with the contributions of Terrell Datson in taking on responsibilities like wearing the "green dot" for communications, has helped foster a sense of trust and cohesion on the field.
