Charles Harris

The Dolphins thus far have wasted a first round draft pick on Harris and sometimes all a player needs is a change of scenery. In the case of Harris it’s the change in coaching staff that might make the difference.

Flores holds his players accountable and Harris needs someone who will do that. He has talent but he simply can’t break onto the field because he is inconsistent. That should change and if this new regime decides to move to a 3-4 defense, Harris should find it much more satisfying as an outside linebacker.

In reality this year could be Harris’ final with the Dolphins so he is going to need to show what he can do and if we assume that the coaching is about to get better under Flores and his defensive coaches then we have to assume that Harris should benefit from those changes.
