Dolphins

Dolphins DL Calais Campbell expressed his excitement about signing with the Dolphins in hopes of returning to the Super Bowl for the first time since his rookie season. Campbell believes in the team’s talent on both offense and defense to make this goal a reality.

“That’s a big reason why I signed here, because I feel like there’s a really good opportunity here,” Campbell said via PFT. “Very talented team all over the field, both offense and defense. When you go through the roster of who you have and see so many people that I feel like we can play together and build that team chemistry you need — we’ll be a force to be reckoned with. I really like the coaching staff. I mean, Anthony Weaver is a guy I’m very familiar with, [have] a lot of respect for, and he’s a big reason I really believe in this team. I know the kind of work ethic he has and just the kind of man he is, and I really think this defense is going to be a top — I don’t want to go too crazy, but it’s going to be a really good defense.”

Jets

Jets DT Quinnen Williams is focused on improving as a pass rusher in the upcoming season and has been working on techniques on both sides of the line.

“My main area of focus has just been getting a bigger bag when it comes down to pass rushing,” Williams said, via Caroline Hendershot of the team’s site. “I feel like I do some things good in pass rush but just getting a bigger bag and more tools that I can use on Sundays. That was really my main goal. I’ve been working on right side pass rushing and left side pass rushing so that I can be like a Swiss Army Knife.”

Regarding comparisons, with Aaron Donald retiring, Williams hasn’t thought much about being the top defensive tackle in the NFL and praises other talented interior linemen like the Giants’ Dexter Lawrence, Justin Madubuike of the Ravens, and the Chiefs’ Chris Jones.

“I never thought about that,” Williams said. “I know I get that question a lot and a lot of people see it on social media, but I think there’s a lot of unbelievable guys. You got Dexter Lawrence over there at the Giants, you got [Justin] Madubuike, you got Chris Jones who has been a phenomenal player for the last five years. So, I’m just trying to be the best player I can be and just win football games for the New York Jets. I learned from each and every one of these guys, each and every one of the defensive tackles, especially in my position, and just try to emulate what they do.”

Williams is excited about the additions of DL Javon Kinlaw and LB Haason Reddick to the Jets’ defense.

“It’s been unbelievable,” Williams said. “You got guys like Kinlaw coming from San Fran with the same exact scheme as here. He’s an unbelievable guy that I’ve been watching since he beat up on Alabama at South Carolina. I’ve been keeping up with his career and the great things he’s done. You got Haason Reddick, an unbelievable, MVP-caliber type of edge rusher, defensive player of the year coming over from the Eagles. You got a lot of guys that have just been coming in and I’m super excited for the organization, the team itself, to add some unbelievable people and players.”

Patriots

Patriots DE Keion White shared his thoughts on transitioning from HC Bill Belichick to HC Jerod Mayo, noting a change in coaching style with less cursing. 

“We don’t got Bill cursing us out every play anymore, but it’s still pretty similar,” White said, via Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. “I miss it. I like Bill. He’s my type of coach, like a hard-ass. I like that. I respond well to things like that. But Mayo’s done a pretty good job, too. It’s all different. Mayo’s doing a really good job of staying true to himself, not trying to fill somebody else’s shoes, but create his own path, and I really respect that.”
