Joe Philbin: 'Next season is vital for Jamar Taylor, Will Davis'

Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin has declared that the 2015 season will be a make-or-break year for cornerbacks Will Davis and Jamar Taylor.

Both players joined the club in the 2013 Draft, but have struggled to make an impact with the AFC East outfit due to a lack of form and injuries over the past two seasons.

Philbin believes that the next campaign will determine their futures at the club and the league as a whole.

"This is year three," Philbin told reporters. "Neither one played any meaningful time their first year. Last year both of them contributed somewhat and both ended up on injured reserve.

"They should have enough experience. You know the drill. You've been around. You've been in the system. Coverages haven't changed a lot. It's an important year for them."

Taylor has recorded 34 tackles in his NFL career, while Davis has mustered only 17.
