The Linc - Brian Rolle Faces His Childhood Team

They’re on pace to record one of the 10-highest offensive yardage totals in NFL History. And they’re ranked 16th this year in scoring. How is this even possible? Because turnovers destroyed this team.

NFL: Immokalee grad Rolle to suit up Sunday against Dolphins, his childhood favorite team " Naples Daily News
Brian Rolle grew up cheering for the Dolphins, admiring players like Zach Thomas, an undersized linebacker who played for the Dolphins from 1996-2007 and again in 2010. He said that even though the Dolphins are now his competition, he still roots for the squad, except of course when he’s playing against them. "I grew up loving the Dolphins," Rolle said. ".. Zach Thomas was a guy I really looked up to. He wasn’t the biggest guy but he had great character and is a great person."

The great thing about Rolle having to deal with the doubters is he will play with a chip on his shoulder for the rest of his career. I just don’t see him ever becoming a prima donna. For some reason, when I picture other players on lounging on vacation in the tropics during the off-season, I see Rolle training with minimal equipment in a dingy basement with leaky pipes, Clubber Lang style.
