NT Raekwon Davis
Raekwon Davis developing into a stout nose tackle would be a massive development for this defense. If Miami can capture the Jacksonville performance in a bottle and have Davis play that way each week, they’d be well on their way. He was a force against opposing centers and stuffed up the A-gaps on multiple occasions with this 2-gap technique:

See how Davis locks out the block and stays square before allowing the back to declare his intentions before discarding the offensive lineman and uncovering in the A-gap? That kind of play will free up a lot of extra value for Miami’s other defensive linemen. It wasn’t just a one-time thing, either.
