Three players on Saturday gave fans a showcase of the team’s speed on defense. First, Jerome Baker, who made a handful of plays in this practice, ran around the edge on an outside running play. He won the foot race and stayed tight in the formation to scrape the block and make the play for a loss. A few plays later, rookie Channing Tindall burst up the middle and tagged Salvon Ahmed back in the backfield. Finally, Jevon Holland came from deep to cap off a short pass to Cedrick Wilson Jr. Again, no live tackle, but given Holland’s superb highlight reel, he might have added another hit to that tape. That’s probably why McDaniel is thrilled to have Holland on his side. “I like having him especially on the team I’m on and not the team I’m playing with,” McDaniel said. “It was cool. I didn’t know much about him before I studied our tape here and his game as a rookie was very impressive. The way he’s been diligent in his approach to his craft, he’s serious about continuing to play his game in the next level and that as an impact player is something the Dolphins team depends on – all of us.”
