Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland explained Sunday, June 2, why the team replaced LBs Karlos Dansby (Cardinals) and Kevin Burnett (Raiders) with LBs Dannell Ellerbe and Philip Wheeler. ‘Really fell in love with the two players we got. Nothing against Karlos and Kevin. They’re very good players,’ Ireland said. ‘(But) I felt like this gives us a chance to get a little bit faster, a little bit more physical at the point of attack. Like their style of play.’
