Miami, Florida – The news of the Miami Dolphins cutting cornerback Xavien Howard has sparked a strong reaction from fellow cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Ramsey took to social media to express his thoughts on the situation, suggesting that former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio hindered their potential as a duo last season.
Ramsey, in a post on social media, praised Howard as the greatest cornerback in Dolphins history. He also expressed his frustration with how he and Howard were utilized during their time together, stating, “I won’t ever forgive dude for not utilizing our full skillset!”
While Ramsey did not explicitly name Fangio in his post, many believe he was referring to the former Dolphins defensive coordinator. Fangio, who spent just one year in Miami before moving on to become the Eagles’ defensive coordinator, faced criticism from some players for his coaching methods.
Despite Fangio’s previous success as a defensive coach in the NFL, his tenure in Miami did not yield the desired results. There have been indications that some defensive players on the Dolphins roster were not entirely pleased with how Fangio approached coaching. Ramsey, for one, seems relieved that Fangio is no longer with the team.
The fallout from Howard’s release and Ramsey’s comments adds an intriguing layer to the dynamics within the Dolphins’ defensive unit. It raises questions about how coaching decisions can impact player performance and team chemistry.
As the Dolphins navigate through this transition period, it will be interesting to see how the team adjusts under new defensive leadership. The departure of Howard and the lingering sentiments from Ramsey underscore the importance of effective communication and collaboration between players and coaches in maximizing team performance.
