Andrew Van Ginkel Primed For Big Game From Defensive Line
12 months agoMiami Dolphins linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel is likely to see dozens of snaps lined up as defensive end against a sack-prone Washington Commanders team in Week 13. Van Ginkel has been a dynamic player who has split time between outside linebacker and inside linebacker. He made four sacks as a defensive end earlier this season when starting DE Jaelan Phillips missed time. Phillips (Achilles) was placed on the IR last week, so Van Ginkel will likely return to the defensive line. He routinely lined up for over 40 snaps from the line and as many as 61 during Phillips' earlier absence. Rushing the Commanders from the line will give him a lot of sack opportunities against the team that is allowing the second-most sacks this season.
