The Miami Dolphins head into their second preseason game this weekend, facing the New York Giants at South Florida’s Hard Rock Stadium, with several position battles ongoing and many players hoping to get the coaches’ attention. The NFL mandates that teams drop their roster size from a preseason limit of 90 players down to the regular season’s limit of 53 players after the third preseason game, giving end-of-roster players just 11 days to make their case for a roster spot
The Dolphins have a veteran pass rusher who seems buried on the depth chart, behind several younger players at a position that lacks depth. Edge rusher Cameron Goode is on the fourth team, according to the Dolphins’ unofficial depth chart, and he has a battle in front of him if he wants to stay with Miami for a fifth season

The South Florida Sun Sentinel’s Chris Perkins took a look at Goode’s situation on Tuesday. In his article, he explained:
Goode, who didn’t get a snap with the starters in Tuesday’s practice and has rarely run with starters the entire offseason, has seemingly had a good training camp. I’ve seen him making plays in practice. Granted, it’s almost always against backups, but he’s been making plays
Yet on the depth chart Goode is listed behind starter Chop Robinson, injured veteran Clelin Ferrell and rookie seventh-round pick Max Llewellyn. On the other side of the defensive line there are edge rushers Josh Uche, Robert Beal Jr. and David Ojabo
“What we’re looking for is someone to kind of take over,” Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley said of the edge rusher position, including backups. “Line up the right way, play the right technique, set edges, have some good pass rushes, and I think we’re still looking for that consistency … big-picture wise, I think just like we keep saying, and you’re going to get bored of it, it’s just who can consistently do the job over and over again.”
That last part, the consistency, might be Goode’s undoing. But he can make plays from time to time
