"MIAMI GARDENS - Miami Dolphins second-year left tackle Patrick Paul is a tall man with a tall task ahead of him in Sunday's matchup with the Cleveland Browns. The 6-foot-7, 326-pound Dolphins lineman will have the primary responsibility of blocking elite Browns defensive end Myles Garrett. "As competitors, you want players on your team that look for the competitive challenge of attacking some of the league's best," Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said."
"Paul, late in his rookie season, was inserted into Miami's late-season win at Cleveland last year and had to block Garrett when veteran Terron Armstead exited the game at halftime. "He was able to play against him last year and knows all the problems that he can present," McDaniel said. Garrett is a six-time Pro Bowl selection and 2023 Defensive Player of the Year."
Patrick Paul, a 6-foot-7, 326-pound second-year left tackle, will have primary responsibility for blocking elite defensive end Myles Garrett. Paul has been a full-time starter this season and gained experience facing Garrett late in his rookie year when Terron Armstead exited a game at halftime. Garrett is a six-time Pro Bowl selection and the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year, with four sacks in six games this season and 106½ career sacks. The Dolphins plan to distribute the task across the unit when necessary, using chips, receiver bumps, route design, and quarterback timing to neutralize Garrett's pass rush.
