Smalls and Kelly dissect the Patriots' roster, particularly focusing on rookie quarterback Drake May, who brings both athleticism and raw talent to the field.
Their consensus is that effective game planning against a rookie quarterback is crucial. Bringing pressure, maintaining disciplined gap assignments, and neutralizing tight end Hunter Henry’s influence in the passing game could be keys for the Dolphins’ defense.
