New Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was one of the stars of the most recent hiring cycle. From the analysis of his press conferences while in San Francisco, through the content produced by the Dolphins social media team as the hiring was unveiled, through his performance at the Combine in Indianapolis, as he hit the trifecta of Rich Eisen cliches.
But now it is time to truly get to work.
With the NFL’s “legal tampering period” underway, one of the first expected signings reported was the move by McDaniel to bring running back Chase Edmonds to the AFC East:

This move should not come as a surprise. While many of the questions McDaniel fielded during his podium session in Indianapolis dealt with Deebo Samuel — and trying to find the next version of him in free agency and/or the draft — the move to acquire Edmonds comes down to two words.
Efficiency and scheme.
