Jeff Hafley on what he loved most about Jacob Rodriguez’s 18-tackle game

Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley praised rookie linebacker Jacob Rodriguez for his on-field communication and pre-snap adjustments during an 18-tackle performance against the Minnesota Vikings. Despite Miami's 15-10 loss on Sunday, Hafley highlighted how effectively the rookie relayed critical instructions late into the play clock while holding Minnesota to five field goals.

Rodriguez's 18 tackles set a franchise rookie single-game record and brought his season total to 46, ranking second across the NFL. Zach Sieler added two sacks, while Chop Robinson and Josh Uche recorded one each as the Dolphins dropped to 0-4.
