Giants DC Martindale 'sleeping like a baby' ahead of Dolphins game: 'Every two hours I wake up and cry'

Miami's offense is keeping opposing defensive coordinators up at night. Literally.

Ahead of a Week 5 matchup with the most feared attack in the league, New York Giants DC Don "Wink" Martindale gave personal insight into how difficult it is to plan for Mike McDaniel's Dolphins.

"My wife called me last night before she went to bed. She said she was worried about me. She said, 'Are you getting any sleep?'" Martindale told reporters on Thursday. "I said, 'Yeah, I'm sleeping like a baby. Every two hours I wake up and cry and go to the bathroom and try to go back and get some more sleep.'

"It's unbelievable, but that's where this league's heading with some of the other scores. The points have been up pretty high. I told our staff because we're all old enough to remember the Greatest Show on Turf, this is like that, 2023, supersonic. I mean, they are fast, faster than that. ... It's not even turf there. It's grass, and they're still faster."

It's hard to blame Martindale for leaking his late-night bladder patterns to the press. The Dolphins have made DCs from Los Angeles to Foxborough look silly this season.

After dumping 70 points on the Broncos, Miami had DC Vance Joseph spiraling and defending his employment. Ahead of their Week 4 matchup with the Fins, Bills coach and defensive play-caller Sean McDermott joked about adding Usain Bolt to attempt to replicate the Dolphins' speed. (Whatever Buffalo concocted worked: Miami was held to a season-low 20 points and 20 first downs in its first loss of the season.)

How does Martindale see the Dolphins' offense ahead of Sunday? Look to the racetrack. Not Talladega. Your local Grand Prix.

"It's tough to do, even though you think you can mimic it," Martindale said of replicating Miami's speed
