On today's episode of The Daily Hunt:

We take a look at DE Taco Charlton and what he's meant to the Dolphins since being claimed off waivers in week 3.  Through 4 games with Miami, Charlton has recorded 16 tackles and 3 sacks.  

A few weeks ago, Dolphins' defensive line coach Marion Hobby was asked what he though of Charlton, here's what he said.

“He’s big, he’s long, he’s athletic. I’ll tell you what, he’s really a smart player, has a really good football IQ. To come in here that early that week and get prepared to go back to Dallas – he had a couple of mental errors, he (was) feeling his way out, but I like the grasp that he’s taken, the seriousness of it. Playing last week, he got a little bit more comfortable, because he’s learning what to do and what’s expected of him. I think he’s going to continue to grow. He’s a good, natural football player.”\

No one knows whether or not Taco Charlton can sustain this success, but for a team that was in dire need of help on the defensive line, Miami is very thankful for the 24-year old pass-rusher.
