On today's episode of The Daily Hunt: 

Charles Harris played just 12 snaps for the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Since signing Taco Charlton, Harris has seen his snap count consistently drop week-by-week for the Dolphins. 

On the other hand, Charlton played 95 percent of Miami's snaps on Sunday and has two sacks to go with 12 tackles since joining the Miami Dolphins. 

Either way, the Dolphins are still in dire need of help on defense as they're allowing 440 yards per game, 15 more than any other team in the NFL. Meanwhile, they are allowing 36 points per game, worst in the NFL.

“It’s sick because you work so hard in practice each and every day with ‘Coach Flo’ (Head Coach Brian Flores) and (Defensive Line) Coach (Marion) Hobby and ‘Coach P.G.’ (Defensive Coordinator Patrick Graham)," defensive linemen Davon Godchaux said. "When you can’t come out with a win, it’s sick. At the end of the day, you have to keep going. I’m a fighter. I’ve been fighting all of my life so I’m not going to quit now.”

With the bye week out of the way, the Dolphins are headed to Buffalo on Sunday to face the AFC's second-best team with a record of 4-1.
