It's Jets Week, and the Miami Dolphins are still searching for their first win of the season. If there's ever a time to beat the New York Jets, this is it!

O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit are joined by Mike Oliva, Chad Van Horn, and The Legendary Sevach to preview Miami's showdown with its longtime AFC East rival. Can Jeff Hafley's Dolphins capitalize on a struggling Jets team, or will the same mistakes that have plagued Miami through five games continue to haunt them?

The crew breaks down what must change coming out of the bye week, including Malik Willis' decision-making, Miami's disastrous special teams play, and the potential return of Caleb Douglas, who could provide a much-needed deep threat for the offense. Plus, Juice shares an unforgettable story about getting absolutely embarrassed by Jets linebacker Mo Lewis as the guys reveal their most hated Jets of all time.

In the Van Horn Law Group Legal Zone, Chad examines the serious questions surrounding Jalen Hurts' reported blood clots and the responsibility NFL teams have to protect their players.

And in an explosive edition of "I Tried to Tell Y'all," Mike Oliva unloads on Dolphins ownership over plans to raise season-ticket prices in 2027 despite the team's winless start and declining attendance. Is Stephen Ross taking the loyalty of Dolphins fans for granted? Meanwhile, Juice explains why he's not giving up on Hafley's rebuild and why Miami's promising young players still offer reason for hope.

The Dolphins need a win. The fans deserve better. And there's no opponent they'd rather beat than the stinkin' Jets!

The Miami Dolphins may have enjoyed a bye week, but their special teams problems aren't going away. After five games of costly penalties, blown coverages and disastrous returns, something has to change. And legendary Dolphins special teams coach Mike Westhoff has some ideas about how to fix it.

On the latest Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and DolphinsTalk's Mike Oliva break down Miami's special teams struggles and react to Westhoff's revealing conversation with longtime Dolphins columnist Dave Hyde.

Juice shares firsthand stories from playing for Westhoff, including the notoriously intense team meetings, the coach's extraordinary attention to detail, and how Westhoff helped convince the Dolphins to draft him. He even recalls asking his former coach for a few special teams plays to help a high school team, only to receive an 80-page game plan!

The guys examine why Miami continues to lose the field-position battle, whether the problems stem from personnel, coaching or scheme, and why a team already struggling to compete simply cannot afford to keep giving opponents such significant advantages.

Should Jeff Hafley consider making a change at special teams coordinator? Can Miami adapt to the NFL's evolving kickoff rules? And what can the Dolphins learn from Westhoff's approach to creating mismatches rather than simply reacting to opponents?

Plus, the crew looks ahead to Jets Week, discusses why Miami's defense deserves some credit despite the 0-5 record, and shares details about the launch of Fish Tank: The Deep End on Patreon.

The Dolphins don't need their special teams to win games for them. They just need them to stop losing games.

The Miami Dolphins are 0-5. But are they actually better than their record suggests?

As the Dolphins enter their much-needed bye week, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chad Van Horn, Chris Perkins, Mike Oliva, and The Legendary Sevach examine whether Jeff Hafley's young team is showing legitimate signs of progress—or simply finding new ways to lose.

Chris Perkins makes a surprising prediction: Miami can win at least five of its final 12 games. But what needs to change for that to happen? The crew debates whether Malik Willis is taking too much blame for Miami's offensive struggles, why the coaching staff must eliminate costly mistakes, and how the Dolphins can finally generate more pressure on opposing quarterbacks.

Despite the disappointing start, there's reason for optimism. From Caden Proctor and Jacob Rodriguez to Chris Johnson and the rest of Miami's promising rookie class, the guys discuss why the foundation of the rebuild may be stronger than the standings suggest.

Plus, the crew examines the controversial Brian Flores scouting memo and the struggles of former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel with the Los Angeles Chargers. In the Van Horn Law Group Legal Zone, Chad breaks down the legal showdown between Hard Rock Bet and DraftKings.

And because it's officially Bye, Bye, Bye Week, *NSYNC founding member Chris Kirkpatrick delivers a surprise message to Juice and the Fish Tank LIVE crew—with a hilarious guarantee about Miami's chances of avoiding another loss!

Five games down. Twelve to go. Is there a reason for Dolphins fans to believe?

The Miami Dolphins are 0-5, Malik Willis is coming off his most disappointing performance of the season, and Dolphins fans are growing increasingly frustrated. But here's the reality: Malik Willis isn't going anywhere.

On this week's Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and DolphinsTalk's Mike Oliva take an honest look at Miami's struggling quarterback, the growing concerns surrounding his decision-making, and why Jeff Hafley and the Dolphins appear committed to giving Willis every opportunity to prove he can be their quarterback of the future.

After five games, Willis has struggled with accuracy, missed open receivers and repeatedly passed up shorter completions in pursuit of big plays. As Juice explains, sometimes the smartest play isn't the spectacular one. It's about being "needy, not greedy" and keeping the chains moving.

The guys debate whether Willis is pressing too hard to prove himself, how Bobby Slowik can help put him in better situations, and whether the upcoming bye week could provide the reset Miami's offense desperately needs.

Plus, Mike explains why Willis's contract shouldn't concern Dolphins fans nearly as much as his performance, why turning to rookie Kyle McCord isn't the answer right now, and why the 2027 NFL Draft may not offer the quarterback solution some fans are hoping for.

And despite the Dolphins' 0-5 record, there ARE reasons for optimism. The guys highlight the development of young players like Ollie Gordon II, Jacob Rodriguez, Kadyn Proctor and Chris Johnson, and discuss why Miami may already be building the foundation for a much brighter future.

They also tackle the importance of continuity in Bobby Slowik's offense, Miami's ongoing special teams problems, and a newly surfaced report concerning former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores.

Five games down. Twelve to go. Malik Willis is still the Dolphins' quarterback. The question is whether he can become the quarterback Miami needs him to be.

🐬 Dolphins fans, what do YOU think? Should Miami stick with Malik Willis through the growing pains, or have you already seen enough?

The Miami Dolphins are 0-4, but two Dolphins legends believe there's more reason for optimism than the record suggests.

In the first-ever Out to Pasture x Fish Tank Crossover, Kim Bokamper and O.J. McDuffie join forces to break down the current state of the Miami Dolphins, the team's promising young talent, and the culture being built under head coach Jeff Hafley and general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan.

Despite four straight losses, Bo and Juice see a team that's improving, competing, and developing the kind of leadership and accountability they believe has been missing in Miami.

In this episode:

Why the Dolphins' 0-4 record doesn't tell the whole story

How Jeff Hafley and his coaching staff are changing the culture in Miami

Why Jacob Rodriguez is drawing comparisons to Zach Thomas

The emergence of young players like Kadyn Proctor, Chris Bell, Chris Johnson, and Ollie Gordon II.

What's holding Malik Willis and his young receivers back—and why O.J. believes better chemistry will come with experience

Why the Dolphins' locker room leadership looks different from previous seasons

How Bo and Juice's experiences playing in the NFL shape their views on Miami's rebuild

Why the upcoming matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals could present an opportunity for the Dolphins' first victory

From stories about playing alongside Dan Marino to the importance of veteran leadership and building a winning culture, Bo and Juice offer the kind of insight that only two former Dolphins players can provide.

Are the Dolphins finally building something sustainable, or is an 0-4 start simply too much to overlook?

The Miami Dolphins are 0-4, but something is starting to change in Miami. Jeff Hafley's defense is showing signs of life, young playmakers are stepping up, and the team is becoming more competitive. But can Malik Willis and the Dolphins offense catch up?

On this episode of Fish Tank LIVE, former Miami Dolphins wide receiver O.J. McDuffie joins Seth Levit, Mike Oliva, and Producer Sevach to break down the Dolphins' ongoing rebuild, their frustrating loss to the Minnesota Vikings, and the biggest questions surrounding Miami's future.

ON THE MENU:

The Defense Is Waking Up! — Chop Robinson, Zach Sieler, Jacob Rodriguez, and Miami's young defenders are showing real promise. Is Jeff Hafley's vision finally coming together?

Malik Willis Under Fire — Four games into the season, some fans are already questioning Miami's quarterback. Is the criticism justified, or are expectations completely out of control?

Hafley Isn't Playing Around — Miami's head coach is demanding accountability and bringing a no-nonsense attitude to this rebuild. Is that exactly what this franchise needs? 

Reinforcements Incoming? — Kenneth Grant and Storm Duck return to practice. What could their eventual return mean for an improving defense?

Trust the Process or Hit the Panic Button? — The Dolphins are winless, but they've faced a brutal early schedule. Are fans overlooking the progress happening right in front of them?

I TRIED TO TELL Y’ALL! — Sevach channels The Fast and the Furious to explain why rebuilding the Dolphins might require a little more patience, while Mike takes aim at the NFL's growing officiating problem.

And, somehow, a Dolphins podcast bowling showdown becomes a very real possibility. Because of course it does.

THE BIG QUESTION: Are the Dolphins finally laying the foundation for something special, or is the offense holding back an otherwise promising rebuild?

Drop your thoughts in the comments! Is Malik Willis getting a fair shake? And what has impressed you most about Miami's young defense?

The Miami Dolphins are 0-4, and Malik Willis is taking plenty of heat from Dolphins fans. But is the quarterback really the biggest problem in Miami?

On this week’s Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and Mike Oliva tackle the growing debate surrounding Willis and whether four games—with a young receiving corps, an inconsistent offensive line and now no De’Von Achane—is nearly enough to determine if he can become Miami’s quarterback of the future.

Nobody is saying Willis has been good enough. But the guys push back on the idea that the Dolphins have already seen enough to move on. They break down the plays that don’t necessarily show up in his stat line, including the spectacular would-be touchdown to Chris Bell, and discuss what Willis has shown with his mobility and ability to escape pressure. As Juice puts it, Willis still has to prove he’s “the guy”—but he deserves the opportunity to do it.

The conversation also turns to the 2027 NFL Draft and why assuming Miami can simply replace Willis with a first-round quarterback may not be nearly as simple as some fans believe. Plus, what could Willis look like next season with more weapons, a healthier roster and Miami finally having resources to continue rebuilding around him?

And there ARE reasons for optimism despite the 0-4 record. Ollie Gordon II is making the most of his opportunity and could form a dangerous one-two punch with Achane in the future, while young players on Jeff Hafley’s defense are beginning to show real signs of development.

Four games. Four losses. But Miami’s first four opponents are a combined 15-1, and this was always supposed to be a developmental season.

Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

With De’Von Achane sidelined, it’s time for the Miami Dolphins’ offensive line to take over.

O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chris Perkins, Mike Oliva, Chad Van Horn and The Legendary Sevach break down what Miami’s offense needs to do without its biggest playmaker as the Dolphins prepare for a difficult road matchup against the Minnesota Vikings and former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores.

Perk explains why the offensive line—with Aaron Brewer, Patrick Paul, Kadyn Proctor and company—may now be the most important unit on the offense. Miami still wants to establish the run, but doing it against Flores’ aggressive, blitz-heavy defense will put the offensive line’s communication and development to the test while also taking pressure off Malik Willis.

The crew also dives into the Brian Flores revenge-game storyline and what his history in Miami could mean for Sunday’s matchup. Plus, Juice explains why Miami’s young receivers will play a critical role in recognizing blitzes and giving Willis answers when Minnesota brings pressure.

Later, Brian Miller of Phin Phanatic joins the Tank to defend his list of the 25 most beloved Dolphins of all time. Dan Marino or Larry Csonka at No. 1? Where should Ricky Williams rank? And is O.J. McDuffie at No. 12 way too low?

Plus, the Van Horn Law Group Legal Zone tackles the NFL’s nearly $15,000 fine for Kyle Juszczyk’s controversial celebration, and “I Tried to Tell Y’all” gets serious as Juice shares his personal experience with concussions during his NFL career.

The Miami Dolphins showed signs of progress against the Kansas City Chiefs, but the biggest story coming out of the game was a devastating one: De’Von Achane is lost for the season.

On the latest Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and Mike Oliva react to the loss of Miami’s most explosive offensive weapon and examine what life without Achane could mean for the Dolphins for the remainder of 2026.

Can Ollie Gordon II step into the RB1 role? How much can Miami ask of Jaylen Wright when he returns? Could Malik Washington become a bigger part of the running game? And with Achane no longer commanding the attention of opposing defenses, how much more difficult does life become for Malik Willis and Miami’s young receiving corps? how-much-will-miami-miss-achane

The guys also discuss some encouraging developments from the loss to Kansas City, including an offensive line beginning to establish a physical identity, signs of second-half improvement from Jeff Hafley’s defense, and impressive flashes from young defenders Jacob Rodriguez and Michael Taaffe. Despite an 0-3 start, are we beginning to see this young Dolphins team take meaningful steps forward? how-much-will-miami-miss-achane

Plus, Juice breaks down the controversial penalty involving Travis Kelce, the crew looks ahead to another difficult matchup against Minnesota, and the Dolphins prepare to find out just how much they can accomplish without the player who had become the centerpiece of their offense.

Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover brings together O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and Mike Oliva each week for an unfiltered conversation about the Miami Dolphins.

Two games into the season, the Miami Dolphins have plenty of issues to sort out—but few are more glaring than a pass rush that simply hasn’t gotten home.

O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chad Van Horn, Mike Oliva, and The Legendary Sevach break down Jeff Hafley’s struggling defensive front and ask what Miami can do to generate pressure with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs coming to town. With Chop Robinson returning to practice, Juice explains why it’s time for the former first-round pick to start making his presence felt—and why pressures can be nearly as valuable as sacks for a secondary that can’t be asked to cover forever.

The crew also examines the bigger challenge facing Hafley: Miami’s defensive front isn’t just struggling to rush the passer—it needs to be better against the run, too. Is this a scheme problem, or does Hafley simply not have enough proven personnel to execute what he wants to do?

Plus, the guys discuss why Dolphins fans may be judging Malik Willis too quickly, the growing pains of Miami’s young receivers, the latest injury news on Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell, the disastrous start for the special teams unit, and which Dolphins rookies have been the biggest surprises through two games.

And in “I Tried to Tell Y’all,” The Legendary Sevach channels Tupac to remind Dolphins fans that if they wanted real change after the old approach failed, they may have to live through the uncomfortable part of a rebuild before they see the results.

The Dolphins knew this season would require patience. But with Mahomes coming to Miami, the defense doesn’t have much time to find some answers.

The Miami Dolphins are 0-2, the losses haven’t been pretty, and frustration is already boiling over. But are the comparisons to the infamous 2019 "Tank for Tua" Dolphins really fair?

O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and DolphinsTalk’s Mike Oliva reunite for another Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover to break down what’s actually happening with this young Dolphins roster — and why it may be way too early to start burning everything down.

The guys examine the biggest differences between this rebuild and 2019, what Malik Willis is really dealing with behind a struggling offensive line and inexperienced receiving corps, and why Miami’s inability to generate a pass rush could be one of the biggest concerns on the entire roster.

They also discuss Jeff Hafley and Bobby Slowik through two games, the disappointing play in the trenches, costly special teams mistakes, whether Austin Jackson’s job should be in jeopardy, and why making declarations about Willis — or already looking ahead to Arch Manning and the 2027 NFL Draft — makes little sense in September.

The Dolphins may not be good right now. Nobody is pretending otherwise. But as Juice puts it: “Everybody just chill the hell out.”

Is this simply a young team going through growing pains, or have you already seen enough to be concerned about the direction of the rebuild?

Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

The Miami Dolphins may have left Las Vegas with a loss, but Week 1 gave us our first real look at what this young team could become.

And despite the final score… there were flashes. Jacob Rodriguez looked comfortable in the middle of the defense. Caleb Douglas continued to make his case. Miami’s young players stepped up in big moments, and Malik Willis showed enough athleticism, toughness and arm talent to make the conversation around his future a LOT more interesting. But this is still a rebuild — and there were plenty of reminders. The pass rush disappeared. The offensive and defensive lines struggled. And Miami’s special teams were anything BUT special, nearly surrendering multiple huge returns and repeatedly putting the Dolphins in terrible situations. So what happens now?

The Dolphins stayed out West, headed to Napa and now prepare for an even tougher Week 2 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. On this episode of Fish Tank LIVE, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, The Legendary Sevach, Mike Oliva and Sun Sentinel columnist Chris Perkins break down:

•What we actually learned from the Week 1 loss to the Raiders

•The impressive debut of Miami’s rookie class

•What Malik Willis showed — and where he still needs to grow

•The Dolphins’ alarming special-teams problems

•Jacob Rodriguez’s impressive first NFL game

•Caleb Douglas and Miami’s young playmakers

•What a REAL NFL rebuild actually looks like

•What improvement should look like from Week 1 to Week 2

•And whether this young Dolphins team can hang with the San Francisco 49ers

This season was never going to be a finished product in September. Week 1 was the baseline. Now we find out whether Miami can start stacking bricks. The bond don’t break.

Just 12 days after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the Miami Dolphins and Oakland Raiders took the field at Pro Player Stadium as the NFL returned to action. What followed was an unforgettable football game played at a moment when sports meant something far beyond the final score.

In Fish Tank Iconic: The Game We Needed, Seth Levit and O.J. McDuffie commemorate the 25th anniversary of September 11 through a Miami Dolphins lens by revisiting that extraordinary afternoon through the firsthand memories of 19 people who lived it. Together, they chronicle the shock of September 11, the NFL's decision to postpone its games, the uncertainty surrounding its return, unprecedented security, an emotional national anthem, and a remarkable game that produced an ending no one could have scripted.

Dolphins quarterback Jay Fiedler, a New York native personally impacted by the attacks, is joined by Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon, the game's two head coaches in Dave Wannstedt and Jon Gruden, Pro Football Hall of Famers Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas, All-Pro cornerback Patrick Surtain, Oronde Gadsden, James McKnight, Todd Wade, Dedric Ward and Trace Armstrong, along with South Florida journalists Greg Cote, Dave Hyde and Mike Mayo, and other members of the Dolphins organization from that time period.

With five seconds remaining, Fiedler dove across the goal line to complete an improbable 80-yard game-winning drive and provide an enduring image of one extraordinary afternoon.

This isn't a story about a football game healing a nation. It's the story of what sports could offer in that moment: something familiar, a reason to come together, and a chance - even if only for a few hours- to feel joy again.

Twenty-five years later, this is Fish Tank Iconic: The Game We Needed.

With Miami preparing for itsseason opener against the Las Vegas Raiders,former Dolphins quarterback Jay Fiedler joins O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chris Perkins and the Fish Tank crew to break down this young Dolphins roster, Malik Willis, Miami’s rookie wide receivers and what to expect as the Jeff Hafley/Jon-Eric Sullivan era officially begins. Jay gives a quarterback’s perspective on Malik Willis, including the challenge ofbuilding trust with a young receiving corps featuring rookies Chris Bell and Caleb Douglas, while O.J. explains why Miami’s receivers may have to prove themselves as blockers before anything else.

But Dolphins vs. Raiders carries some serious history, too.Twenty-five years ago, Fiedler — a native New Yorker — led Miami against theRaiders in one of the most emotional games in franchise history as the NFL returned to action following the September 11 attacks.Jay reflects on that experience, what he remembers from 9/11, the responsibility the Dolphins felt when football returned, and why that game became about much more than football.

The crew also previews Fish Tank Iconic: The Game We Needed, an upcoming audio documentary chronicling that unforgettable Dolphins-Raiders game through the voices of Fiedler, Jason Taylor, Zach Thomas, Dave Wannstedt, Jon Gruden and many more.

The Miami Dolphins told everyone what was coming. Now that the rebuild is actually here, why is everyone so surprised?

O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chris Perkins, Mike Oliva and Chad Van Horn break down Jon-Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley’s aggressive roster overhaul as Miami continues getting younger, churning the bottom of the roster and reshaping the team in their image. Is this simply what a true rebuild looks like—or are the Dolphins making too many changes at once?

The crew digs into the completely revamped quarterback room, the decision to move on from Quinn Ewers, Kyle McCord’s arrival behind Malik Willis and the challenge of getting new quarterbacks ready with the regular season already here. They also identify their biggest concerns entering Week 1, including Miami’s youth, an uncertain pass rush and major questions in the secondary.

Plus, Juice takes everyone back to school with an “I Tried to Tell Y’all” lesson on roster math: addition, subtraction, division, multiplication—and the 53 players left when the equation is finished.

The rebuild is no longer theoretical. This is what it looks like.

The regular season is here, and the Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover is back!

With the Miami Dolphins’ roster undergoing some significant last-minute changes, Mike Oliva, O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit each reveal the one move that caught their attention — and what it could tell us about the direction of the new regime.

Mike weighs in on the release of Tyrel Dodson and what it says about the Dolphins’ confidence in rookie linebacker Jacob Rodriguez. O.J. explains why he raised an eyebrow when the Dolphins moved on from Ethan Bonner. And Seth dives into Miami’s complete overhaul at backup quarterback, including the departure of Quinn Ewers and the addition of Kyle McCord.

The guys also discuss Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan’s early roster philosophy, the influence of Sullivan’s years in Green Bay, Miami’s willingness to move on when players don’t meet the standard, and why the roster churn may not be over yet.

The games finally count. What will this new-look Dolphins roster look like when the regular season begins?

Tua Tagovailoa is coming back to Miami — only this time, he’ll be wearing the wrong colors.

With Tua set to return to Hard Rock Stadium as a member of the Atlanta Falcons, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chad Van Horn, Mike Oliva and The Legendary Sevach debate the question dividing Dolphins fans: Should Tua get booed when he takes the field? The crew looks back at Tua’s complicated relationship with Miami, why emotions surrounding the former Dolphins quarterback remain so strong, and where the line should be drawn between sports fandom and making things personal.

But Tua’s return also raises a much bigger question: Did the Dolphins make the right decision by moving on? With uncertainty behind Malik Willis at quarterback, would Miami actually be better off with Tua still on the roster — especially when the Dolphins are paying him anyway? The guys explain why keeping him may have created exactly the kind of distraction Jeff Hafley and Miami’s new leadership are trying to eliminate.

Then the focus shifts to the Dolphins themselves. After an ugly performance against the Giants, Juice explains what he needs to see from Miami’s roster hopefuls in the preseason finale — more physicality, fewer mental mistakes, better special teams play and, above all, players proving they actually belong on the 53-man roster.

Plus, the latest “I Tried to Tell Y’all” looks at the identity Hafley may be building in Miami. Inspired by Miami HEAT legend Udonis Haslem’s visit to Dolphins headquarters, Seth examines a roster filled with overlooked players, late-round picks and veterans on prove-it deals — from Malik Willis and Aaron Brewer to Zach Sieler and others — and asks whether a team without many traditional superstars can build something around toughness, sacrifice and players who came up the hard way.

Tua is coming back. The preseason is ending. And the new-look Miami Dolphins are about to find out exactly what they have.

The Dolphins may not have won the day against Washington, but O.J. McDuffie and the Fish Tank LIVE crew saw something encouraging: this young Miami team competed physically and refused to get pushed around. The guys break down what they learned from the Commanders joint practice, including another impressive showing from Caleb Douglas, before diving into Miami’s first depth chart and what it could reveal about players like Jacob Rodriguez, Kenneth Grant, Trey Moore and Willie Gay.

Plus, Juice shares a player’s perspective on what that first depth chart really means inside an NFL meeting room—and why where a player is listed can provide plenty of motivation.

The Miami Dolphins’ sweeping organizational transformation now reaches the very top.

With Daniel Sillman assuming a larger leadership role and Tom Garfinkel transitioning from president and CEO to vice chairman, the Dolphins have placed an exclamation point on the beginning of a new era. O.J. McDuffie, Chris Perkins, Mike Oliva and The Legendary Sevach discuss what the change means for the franchise, why Steve Ross deserves credit for embracing such a dramatic overhaul, and whether Sillman’s arrival will finally produce a different approach to football operations. The crew also recognizes Garfinkel’s highly successful tenure overseeing the organization’s business ventures, including the stadium transformation and the growth of major events surrounding the Dolphins.

The conversation then moves to the field, where Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan continue establishing their vision through teaching, competition, accountability and constant roster evaluation. The guys break down Austin Jackson’s latest injury, whether Miami should begin preparing Kadyn Proctor at right tackle, Jacob Rodriguez’s impressive start, the emerging competition at linebacker and the position groups that remain the biggest concerns.

Plus, the panel discusses:

• Why this may be the most comprehensive Dolphins reset in decades
• How Hafley’s hands-on coaching style is connecting with players
• The young defenders pushing established veterans for playing time
• What a successful rebuilding season should actually look like
• Another spirited edition of “I Tried to Tell Y’all”
