I think it's going to be fun."

Dolphins | Mike Nolan wants attacking defense

Sat, 29 May 2010 04:22:37 -0700

Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Mike Nolan said he wants his unit to have an aggressive mentality this upcoming season, according to Jeff Darlington, of the Miami Herald. "I would like to think we're offensive - not defensive,'' Nolan said. Nolan doesn't want his players protecting their end of the football field, which requires a defensive mentality. He wants big plays and suffocating pressure from all areas of the field. "On defense, when Mike talks about being offensive, he talks about setting the pace and dictating to the offense more as opposed to the other way around,'' head coach Tony Sparano said. "So becoming offensive on defense is something that our kids are learning right now."

Tim Graham, of ESPN.com, reports Denver Broncos LB Elvis Dumervil was not thrilled to see former defensive coordinator Mike Nolan leave for the Miami Dolphins this offseason. Dumervil credited Nolan for his stellar 2009 campaign. "It was great playing with him," Dumervil said. "I only got to play with him one year, but I had fun, I probably had one of my best years. I felt I was productive throughout my career before Nolan, but being able to move to linebacker enhanced my durability and allowed me to be more effective down the stretch."
