DAVIE, Fla. -- With the Miami Dolphins desperate to make a game-clinching stop in the closing minutes, defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh moved around from snap to snap, even sliding his 305-pound frame to end for one play.The final series, I was all over the field, Suh said.That he was, flushing quarterback Colin Kaepernick out of the pocket on the last play Sunday and then running him down from behind 2 yards short of the goal line as time expired to give Miami a 31-24 victory.Suhs a four-time Pro Bowl tackle who almost always gets double-teamed, so the Dolphins are doing what they can to free him up. And hes doing what he can to make the strategy work.Along with his normal left tackle position, he lined up at right end and even middle linebacker against the 49ers. Typically impassive, Suh grins when talking about how the Dolphins are making the most of his talents.Within the scheme, within the situation, we find the right time to switch, Suh said. I dont really want to give you the ins and outs of why I do it. But yes, I have opportunities where I can put myself in a particular place.It comes from the trust and confidence your coaches have with you, and them agreeing and seeing the things that you can do.Left unsaid is that it wasnt that way last year, Suhs first with Miami, when the team went 6-10 and his impact went largely unnoticed. Suh clearly relishes his revised role under first-year head coach Adam Gase and new defensive coordinator Vance Joseph.Vance is one of those great coaches that allows his players to find ways to be successful, Suh said. He gives us freedom within the scheme.On the final series last week, for example, Suh said he came up with the idea of lining opposite left tackle Joe Staley on one play.There was a conversation on the sideline, and I was allowed to go and do that, he said.Joseph said hes receptive to such suggestions because Suhs a consummate pro who understands the game. The Dolphins plan for rushing the passer is based on Suh because hes always the focus of the opponents blocking scheme, Joseph said.Every week, we try to do one thing different for him just to get him off the double-teams, Joseph said. Its usually on pass rush downs. He enjoys it, obviously, and it helps us win.Suhs unit hasnt been dominant, ranking 20th in yards allowed and 30th against the run. The Dolphins gave up a season-high 475 yards against the woeful 49ers.But the bottom line is that Miami (7-4) has six consecutive victories heading into Sundays game at Baltimore.Unfortunately this is the NFL, and were going to have bad times, Suh said. Were going to give up plays. We want to be able to squash it and get an answer to the problem very quickly. Communication is key, and obviously its up to us as players to go out there and implement.Suh made the video highlights with his victory-clinching play last week, but often his contribution is difficult to measure as he draws two and even three blockers. His 51 tackles and five sacks may look like modest totals, but he ranks in the top three in both categories among interior defensive linemen.Joseph rates Suhs impact comparable to flashier defenders, such as Denvers four-time Pro Bowl linebacker Von Miller.He has been a dominant force for us inside -- run and pass game alike, Joseph said. Hes not going to have Von Millers numbers, but for us, hes Von Miller. Hes that important to us.The coaching staff also praises Suhs relentless effort, which was evident on the final play last week.When you get double-teamed all game, Im sure thats got to be frustrating, Gase said. And he never wavers.Thats the case wherever Suh lines up.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL.---Follow Steven Wine on Twitter: http://twitter.com/Steve-Wine.

GWS chairman Tony Shepherd says the Giants are two years ahead of schedule, but will need to make finals forever to satisfy the Sydney sporting public.The AFLs youngest club will play their first final in their fifth year, when they face cross-town rivals Sydney in Saturdays qualifier at ANZ Stadium, the same venue and opponent for the Giants very first game in 2012.Were ahead of where we expected, Shepherd told AAP at the Giants headquarters in Olympic Park on the eve of the game.I would have said when we got into the competition five yeas ago, 2017 in the finals and 2018, but maybe top four if everything goes well, and everything has gone well.Shepherd recognises GWS will need to match the consistency of the Swans, who have made finals 14 of the last 15 years, if the Giants are to command their share of a Sydney market crowded by four football codes.Weve had early success but weve got to stay in the finals forever, frankkly, if were going to win, because Sydney likes winners - we dont want losers in Sydney, Shepherd said.ddddddddddddI think it will take us and the AFL working together at the community level 20 years to put down deep roots.It took the Swans 30 years to put down deep roots, and theyve done a great job, no argument there.Because theyve been the ice breaker, it will take us a little less.Shepherd has watched his club grow from humble origins when their administration was based in two rooms at a local RSL club.Then we moved into demountables at Blacktown and we thought wed arrived and they were pretty basic, Shepherd recalled.We didnt have a full-time training oval, we had to travel around western sydney getting training done and then we moved into this (Olympic Park HQ) and this is nirvana really.
