rt working with the team’s players when the offseason program got underway last week and he’s made a strong early impression on some of the team’s players.Running back Kenyan Drake appeared on SiriusXM NFL Radio and discussed how Flores has connected with the team in their first days together. Drake said he liked the “complete transparency” and “complete honesty” that the coach has shown in the early going and noted that he’s not alone when it comes to positive feelings about the new coach.“It’s interesting just to see how everybody’s already responded to it http://www.thedolphinslockerroom.com/authentic-albert-wilson-jersey ,” Drake said. “It hasn’t been necessarily him saying much, because he didn’t necessarily say much. He just kind of has this air about him where people are already ready to run through a wall for him.”How that translates to the on-field product remains to be seen Womens Daniel Kilgore Jersey , but the chances of that product being good can only be helped if players continue to buy into everything that Flores is selling. The Miami Dolphins have downplayed the injury to Xavien Howard, a knee issue that will cause him to miss today’s game against the New England Patriots. Howard has been described as “week-to-week” as he deals with the injury Josh Sitton Jersey , though the Dolphins have not provided any details on the exact issue, other than saying it occurred on Howard’s second interception of last week’s win over the Buffalo Bills.According to a report from the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport http://www.thedolphinslockerroom.com/authentic-kalen-ballage-jersey , Howard has a meniscus injury which required surgery this week. Rapoport added that the arthroscopic procedure, which trimmed his meniscus to clean up the injury Womens Jason Sanders Jersey , is so minor that Howard could be available next week when the Dolphins travel to visit the Minnesota Vikings.Howard currently leads the NFL with seven interceptions this season and has become a shutdown cornerback for the Dolphins. He is having a Pro Bowl season and his absence on Sunday against the Patriots and Tom Brady will be difficult for Miami to overcome. However, the report from Rapoport seems to indicate Howard has a chance at being back by next week.
