 Miami Dolphins
Miami Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano has stated publicly that the team will design its defensive system around the players he has.

why the knock on the wsize of JT? He has obviously proven it doesn't matter as he produces double digit sacks every year and is a top notch run defender. I think a lot of teams could use his ability and he is not just all of a sudden not going to be able to play next year - he will remain a top DE for another 2 years minimum.

plantar fascia is a completey unique experience for anyone experiences it. So your speculation is ridiculous. He could suffer from it or be just fine.

JT had great years in Miami, but it's time to build for the future and a guy that has maybe 2 more years left at his best is not what they need. Going to a 3-4 defense will mean younger, faster guys with lights out potential. It's sad because he was such a great player on some very mediocre Dolphins teams.
