Podcast: Straight talk from a key Dolphins starter on Miami’s run defense issues

Akeem Spence is a pleasure for reporters to cover.

Accessible. Opens. Positive.

No matter the situation, he’s willing to talk.

So it’s no surprise that the Dolphins’ starting defensive tackle took time to join our little podcast this week, as the Dolphins prepare for a must-win game against the Jaguars.

Spence talks his native Panhandle.

He talks Ron Zook.

He talks weightlifting.

And yes, he talks run defense, and how the Dolphins allowed a staggering 220 yards on the ground to the Vikings.
