Miami Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley warned that fans recording and posting team practice videos on social media creates a strategic disadvantage for the organization. Hafley cited a specific incident during his time as the Green Bay defensive coordinator, when the Philadelphia Eagles identified his team's pass-pressure packages through fan-recorded training camp footage.
