Don’t be insulted. I probably laugh at more comments on here than I should, just as you probably dismiss my negativity as “Get off my lawn” nonsense. In other words, I’m on the right side of the image above, and I’m firmly planted there until this team gives me a reason to feel otherwise. Signing this guy or that guy does nothing for me at this point. Whoever comes on board right now has an awful lot of work to do to learn how we do things here. Whether you think RB Jaylen Wright has an empty space between his ears, or that our offense is excessively complicated, he couldn’t really contribute because Mike McDaniel didn’t trust him. On the defensive side, yes, we signed veteran Rasul Douglas and his own words basically said I’m just running around not really sure what I’m doing because it’s really different from what I’ve done.
I can start with TE Darren Waller who I said from “GO” was a joke. Well, he’s getting some practice in now, 2 freaking weeks before the season starts but we’re expecting him to perform like he did in 2020 because he will be reunited with then Tight Ends Coach and now Offensive Coordinator Frank Smith. I choose to look at the fact that he quit on his team last season, retired, and somehow we thought he’d be just as good as Jonnu Smith was last season, who gave us 88 catches for 884 yards and 8 TD’s. Jonnu worked hard for his yards, many of his receptions were close to the line of scrimmage and the fact that he had a 10.0 YPC average is more of a testament of how hard he had to work more than Tua throwing him open downfield. I could literally see Waller catching one of these short passes, getting blown up and then maybe deciding he’s better off retired after all. So now we have TE Greg Dulcich (Ooh, Aah!) and fans are excited. After catching 33 passes his rookie year, Dulcich has fallen off the map. 13 receptions over the last 3 years for 81 yards. We’re saved!!! Or maybe Tanner Conner who is the king of offseason hype will be our savior! Perhaps the offensive penalty king TE Julian Hill will be the phoenix that rises from the ashes. Just don’t bet on it, ANY of it!
The other big BUZZ is rookie 5th RD pick Jason Marshall Jr. now playing the nickel spot after about 4 or 5 other guys, almost all of them no longer with the team in any capacity. Oh there’s hype, the kid is really showing man, he’s gonna be great. Uh huh, sure he is. He’s really an outside guy who has never played inside, it’s not going to be easy for him to make that transition, just as Rasul Douglas, despite being a long tenured vet will have his issues learning our scheme. I have seen comments here such as “Our rookies are doing great!” In preseason? In practice? Temper that enthusiasm until we see live regular season game action. We do catch a break with QB Daniel Jones starting instead of QB Anthony Richardson due to injury. If our front 7 can harass him we should be able to stifle their offense. The thing that worries me a little is Daniel Jones can run, he’s a good athlete, not as big and strong as Richardson, but maybe a better athlete who has some wheels and if we don’t stay disciplined around the pocket, he can chew up some yards on the ground if there’s space in front of him.
Now it’s not all bad, as long as our offensive line does their job. Also, a huge must, we must have RB De’Von Achane healthy for game 1. I like what I’ve seen from RB Ollie Gordon, but we don’t really want to see him and Jamycal Hasty all game long, that might be a problem. The front 7, as long as our rookies play well, and they will be leaned on because they make up a good amount of the rotation on the D-line with Kenneth Grant starting at LDE, backed up by Zeek Biggers, and then Jordan Phillips at NT behind Benito Jones, so that’s half of the D-line rotation with 1 starting. Our OLB and ILB units are a strength of this team. The safeties remain to be seen, although there’s a lot of hype of S Minkah Fitzpatrick, although SS Iffy Melifonwu has not looked good so far, but again, you have to wait until the regular season starts to see what we have. S Minkah Fitzpatrick has the pedigree to a great player, and hopefully the trade from the Steelers lit a fire under him to return to his former All Pro level of play. We can only hope.
As far as Tua, he doesn’t worry me until he worries me, which is if the O-line is playing poorly, or we’re playing a really good team. I expect Tua to play well against the Colts and WR’s Hill,Waddle and (Malik) Washington, and to a lesser extent, WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Tahj Washington all relatively healthy. The TE’s, who knows, I don’t expect to see anything good there at all, but maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised. BTW, the article title was a rhetorical question, you guys are mostly hopeless homers that eat up the positivity faster than Joey Chestnut inhales Nathan’s Hot Dogs, and you know it, and you’re proud of it too! I also can’t believe the absurd amount of hype over these Rivalry Uniforms that apparently will be worn ONCE during a 17 game season. At least when we debut those silly dark uniforms, it’ll be in the evening so we don’t die of the heat.
GO DOLPHINS!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
Analysis: Justin Herbert Vs Tua tagovailoa
In summary, Justin Herbert has produced higher raw passing numbers and demonstrated more mobility, while Tua Tagovailoa has shown slightly better efficiency and completion percentage. Each player possesses unique strengths and has continued to develop since entering the league together
I probably wouldn’t take either Herbert or Tua, but if I had to make the choice between the two, I’d give a slight nod to Herbert.
“Tomato (“to-MAY-to”), Tomato” (“to-MAH-to”)!
Herbert has a slight edge due to being the healthier player.
Even though Tua is better 🙂

I received the info about the odds on the colts game from Joel Schad but looks like he deleted his tweet now
not very reliable I guess
Joe is usually reliable. Maybe he just read it the opposite and realized he F’ed up. Shit happens
Do you guys really pay attention to the odds for our games? I’m not a gambler, so I never think twice about the odds. Are these entities who set odds actually accurate?
not really – I’m not a gambler either
thought the prospect of a 180 was interesting but turned out. Or to be accurate
anyone watch the freshman Cal QB last weekend l?
people are saying really good things about him
Didn’t watch but heard about him, big Hawaiian kid. He had a nice first game against a decent team. He is a red shirt freshman so he would be draft eligible after the 2026 season, 2027 draft.
Piggy, here you go. Another Hawaiian lefty. lol
He has a slight side arm throwing motion much like John Mateer of Oklahoma.

Herd, yeah, I’m that guy. I tried to copy and paste my 9-8 but when I do it the emoji’s pop up jumbo sized making the post too big.
BBM,
I liked what I saw from Saunders. He just looked comfortable.
I agree
I also agree with Ryder. If they need ST’s help, they will call up Colbert. If they need backup safety help they will call up Saunders.
I didn’t realize the Vikings have back to back overseas games, week 4 in Dublin vs the Steelers and week 5 in London vs the Browns. They are the away team in both games, so, basically, they get 2 away games on a neutral field.
I’m sure they will just stay over there
BBM,
Sorry, I usually turn the volume off when I watch those videos. I have no idea what he said. I watch them to see stuff from the All22. I use them to look at every guy.
Makes sense
Randy, I like our safety depth now and going into next year. Though, I am not against drafting one next year. Especially when 3 of the top 4 safeties on the roster are 1yr rentals.
Unless Caleb Downs falls in our lap, I’m targeting one in the 3rd round like Amari Farrell or Bud Clark. Also, if Dillon Thieneman falls to us in the 2nd round I would take him.
Actually, if somehow we are picking in the later half of the 1st round, I would take Dillon Thieneman there. He’s a good sized safety, 6′ and 207, who runs in the 4.3’s and a really solid tackler.
Alain Poupart who covered the Dolphins for SI all offseason and TC predicted 8-9. Though he did predict a week 3 upset road win at Buffalo. The deputy editor at SI predicted 10-7.

Global Raid Crushes Streameast’s Illegal Sports Streaming Empire
Last updated 2 hours ago
On September 3, 2025, a global sting operation led by the Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE), backed by major sports leagues like the NFL and NBA, shut down Streameast, the world’s largest illegal sports streaming platform. Egyptian authorities arrested two key operators and seized 80 unauthorized domains that had drawn 1.6 billion visits, disrupting piracy networks and protecting billions in revenue just before major sports seasons.
Damn!
X in his prime couldn’t cover Tyreek🤣
they’re predicting the game and talking about how the Colts upgraded their secondary
profootballfocus
The veteran tight end, who unretired after being acquired in a trade with the New York Giants, has yet to have a full practice despite the Dolphins still only talking about getting info football shape and “ramping up,” and now head coach Mike McDaniel has told the media that Waller will not take part in the first practice of Week 1.
The Dolphins will have to release an injury report — technically, it’s a “player participation report” — after practice late Wednesday afternoon and we’ll get some sort of an indication as to whether Waller is dealing with some kind of physical issue.
In the meantime, the situation continues to be, well, bizarre. There’s simply no other way to put it.
“We’re being very intentional with how we practice with Darren to do right by the Dolphins and do right by him,” McDaniel said Wednesday. “We have not pressed the threshold of three days consecutive intentionally. And tomorrow’s practice is third down, followed by the red zone emphasis. So it was intentional for him. You won’t see him today, but that’s not because of a setback.”
I’m sorry, but he is getting paid several million which is more than half the roster who has to bust their ass in practice every practice. This babying shit is ridiculous.
You’re paying him, so run his dick in the dirt. That’s how you “do right by the team and do right by him”.
When he does practice, he probably wears a red no contact jersey. SMH

three days until the opening game, and I still have to say, what the fuck is up with Darren Waller? It’s been nine weeks since we signed him? Fuck me isn’t that enough time for someone to get into football shape?
seems like a colossal fuck up to me
No idea what his deal is but I never thought he was the key to our season. I think Malik W is going to be our 3rd receiver just not in a TE type of way like Jonnu was last year. I expect the RBs to be involved in the passing game too.

Dolphins first injury report of the season is here:
DNP
Ethan Bonner (hamstring)
Darren Waller (hip)
Jaylen Wright (knee)
LIMITED
De’Von Achane (calf)
Ashtyn Davis (calf)
Dee Eskridge (concussion)
Tyreek Hill (oblique/calf)
Austin Jackson (toe)
Ah… so it’s a HIP that’s keeping Waller away… interesting…
I really don’t understand what we’re trying to do at the TE position this season regarding the rostered players we have in-house.
Couldn’t we up the ante to the Stealers* in the Ramsey/Jonnu for Minkah trade to come away with TE Darnell Washington as well? *shoulder shrug*
Maybe something like a ’26 5th rounder?
All I know is that Jonnu Smith saved us last season from becoming something like 5-12. And if the O-Line isn’t fixed this season (we all hope it IS fixed!), we’re going to see more 2-deep Safeties… without the help of Jonnu.
And Waller (who sucked at blocking WAY worse than Mike Gesicki in his prime) is going to be our #1 TE… IF he ever gets healthy? BAD
And this is why we should trade for Michael Mayer, ASAP.
They really have no reason to trade him right now. Hes going into his third year, and he’s probably the best backup TE in the league since Likely is injured .
Waller collecting a check
all of them are, even the coaches are getting paid🤪

I don’t get what we are doing at TE either
it’s really my only complaint this offseason
I’m down to rooting for UDFA to somehow make an impact
we don’t really need a receiving TE in this O, but MM obviously wants one, since he signed a couple and has 2 on the active roster
in the off season, you don’t have to distinguish injuries so they didn’t on waller. MM threw us for a loop the whole time. When talking about Waller, he was always injured and they weren’t really protecting him against not playing for a year.
Tahj Washington changed his number to 84, this is what I thought of, when I read it
https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fm.media-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2F9142cz7Y9EL.jpg&tbnid=HDzaAkhR2v9VkMe&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FTopps-Washington-Minnesota-Football-Michigan%2Fdp%2FB0B985GZ14&docid=pczuKdMLF4KObM&w=1851&h=2560&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm4%2F2&kgs=4272864d94a14616&shem=isst#vhid=HDzaAkhR2v9VkM&vssid=_EHG5aNbFI5asqtsPkt-yqAE_45
and I still have that football trading card, somewhere
Just caught a couple of minutes of Mike McDaniel on WQAM and it was a couple of minutes too much. Can’t stand the way he speaks. I hope I can stand the way he coaches this season or off with his head!
Even reading his quotes in articles is annoying.
I had my FF draft last night. I was actually worse than Grier. I was not sharp and it was probably my worst draft in a long time.

Special Teams and Intangibles
Special teams often tilt Week 1 contests. Jason Sanders remains a reliable kicker, capable of hitting long field goals under pressure. Field position battles, punt coverage, and hidden yardage could decide a close game, especially when defenses settle in.

What Tua Said About Tyreek, Facing X, Waller, and the Offense
Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa is ready for his fifth consecutive season-opening start

As far as Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is concerned, the issue of his relationship with Tyreek Hill really isn’t an issue anymore.
After saying early in training camp that there was work to be done and then stating later that it still was a work in progress, Tagovailoa said Wednesday there’s really no reason to even bring up the subject.
“I would say it’s good,” Tagovailoa said of the relationship during his weekly press conference. “I think for what it was earlier in the summer, was just that. And I think people might have blown it out of proportion to where now, I mean, we’ve worked on it and I think that conversation is dead now.
“I think once people see Tyreek score on Sunday, everyone will forget about that. So we’re in a good spot, and we’ve been in a good spot for some time as well. So I’m really happy with that, and pleased with that, and I’m very pleased with how our guys are operating now in all rooms, tight ends, running backs, receivers, O-line, all of that.”
TUA ON OTHER TOPICS
Tua touched on several other topics during his weekly media session, and here were the highlights:
On facing the Colts after missing the game last season when he was on IR because of his concussion: “Yeah, I would say it’s always a struggle when you’re not able to be out there with your guys. You work tirelessly with them, with getting the timing right, the footwork, progressions, spots with those guys, and just can’t do anything to help but cheer them on or have communication with them on the sideline. So, I’ve said it many times, but I really can’t be putting the team in that situation.”
On his confidence level in the offense for the regular season opener: “Well, only time will tell when we get to play on Sunday. So we know what the expectations are for our team. We know what the standard is for our team as a unit, right? Special teams, offense and defense. We got to go show that you don’t just talk about that. Yeah, sure, you want to talk about it with within the team, but we got to go show that for the talk. And we just got to go show it.”
On how much more challenging it is to face a team in its first game with a new defensive coordinator: “Yeah, it’s always tough, because I think we are a nuance to teams where they might show one thing against us, but never show it again against another team, and then that’s how other teams build off of OK, if this team found success against the Dolphins, then maybe we can try that, but add to it, so I would say it’s week to week is always going to be a challenge. But you go off of the base and fundamentals of what their defensive structure is, and then you go from there, and you build off of that.”
On facing former Dolphins CB Xavien Howard: “I think that’d be cool. I got a lot of respect for my dawg. He was really the last of the Mohicans. He was the OG when I got in here. And so I got a lot of respect for him. And, I mean, I think he was the longest Dolphin that I can remember since being here.”
On what would make a successful season: “To win it. I mean, that’s a successful season every time. We’re trying to win it all. If not, I don’t know why we’re playing football.”
On the rapport he’s been able to build with Darren Waller: “I think the cool thing about D-Wall is he’s been staying locked in mentally. When we were on the road, he’d come and ask me questions, like, ‘Hey, I seen you work this route with this guy. Why did you why did you throw it this way? Or why did you throw it that way? Or what are you seeing, or what are you looking at?’ I think he’s been really locked in throughout the past couple of weeks, and then we’ve had some reps with him as well. So we’ll see.”
On being elected as a team captain again: “Yeah, it means a lot. I say that because I think my leadership for myself — and you know how I’ve grown as a person as well — has changed over the years, with how I look at things within the team, with how I interact with guys, all of that. I think it’s changed and it’s grown. And I think as the season goes on, that’s not to say too for the guys that also got mentioned as captains it’s an honor for us to be named by our teammates, by coaches as well, to be named captain. And you can’t take that lightly. There’s a lot of guys that wanted to be captains on this team but didn’t get voted. So we don’t take that lightly, but we can definitely carry that into the season, because it’s going to take us players to get this ball moving.”
How Hill Is Showing Commitment to His Teammates
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill wasn’t named as a captain.

Hill’s antics at the end of last season left a sour taste in everyone’s mouth, and Hill even admitted he didn’t deserve to be a captain anymore in an interview earlier this offseason. However, the Dolphins still need the star receiver to buy in this season.
And if you’re willing to take coach Mike McDaniel’s assessment at face value, it seems like Hill is doing what he can.
“What can be said about any of our leaders and how they’re communicating expectations, and then how people are more invested toward each other,” McDaniel said during his press conference Wednesday. “You can exemplify that by Tyreek Hill’s ownership of his job and his commitment to his teammates.
“So, as we kind of forecasted, that extra investment helps guys be a little more connected, specifically the way they need to be. So, yeah, there’s been a lot of growth across the board.”
Hill seemingly is showing that commitment while working back from an oblique injury he suffered during training camp. He’s been working in different practice periods since the team is trying to make sure he’s prepared and healthy for Week 1 against the Colts. Repairing Relationships
One of the more played-out storylines from Miami’s preseason was Hill’s relationship with Tua Tagovailoa.
The Dolphins’ quarterback gave a pretty candid response about the strain Hill’s comments from the end of last season put on the receiver’s relationships with everyone on the team. McDaniel believes he’s seen growth from Hill and throughout the Dolphins’ locker room.
“The standard is that you focus on that day and practice means something different to our guys now,” McDaniel said. “I think it’s more meaningful. There’s a closer intensity to that of a game, which is the whole point. And I think there, there’s been growth from Tyreek and Tua to you know, our center with a rookie guard or a new person on our team, or you can talk to [Tyrel Dodson], and Jordan Brooks.
“There’s a lot of connectivity in that in a team sport where 11 people are in charge of one result, it’s super important that they’re connected. And all the things that they’ve done, I think, have been positive.”
McDaniel’s reference to a renewed standard likely is related to his comments at the end of the season about several players repeatedly getting fined for tardiness and about the general perception that the team has a bad culture.
Hill has become the poster child for that, but every player or coach who’s been asked about Hill this offseason has commented on his renewed commitment to the team.
McDaniel went on to mention that Hill has stayed engaged with the offense and Tua while he’s been rehabbing his oblique injury, noting that Tua set the standard for what injury preparation can look like when he returned from his concussion against the Cardinals and Bills last season.
Obviously, all of this sounds good. Tyreek needed to recommit to the team this offseason, and it seems like the team’s new captains are taking accountability more seriously than last year’s group.
Will this version of Hill and his relationship with Tua hold up for the entire 2025 season? It’ll be impossible to know until the team meets some adversity. For now, Hill seems to be on the right track.
MM:
“I’m really excited about the whole voting process this year in general because each team is unique to its own, and this team I think was much more unified and the focus on those six guys were very clear so they were resounding vote-getters,” McDaniel said, via PFT’s Mike Florio. “I think it speaks to the team, I think [they] knew the assignment a little bit more and were focused on giving the keys of captainship to those that had earned it each and every day. And that’s what it speaks to me the most, is a football team that knows who they want to be led by.”
McDaniel added he was happy with the number of captains and that those six players (Tua Tagovailoa, Aaron Brewer, Alec Ingold, Jordyn Brooks, Zach Sieler, Bradley Chubb) stood out from the rest. The Dolphins coach declined to mention Hill by name but did briefly address the five-time All-Pro’s omission.
“I think it’s more about the guys that we picked and less about the guys that we didn’t because there are a lot of guys exemplifying tremendous leadership qualities that aren’t a captain on this football team,” continued McDaniel. “I think it’s more of a focus on who is and not who isn’t.”

Having Waller on the 53 really fucks things up.
With him not being ready, that leaves us with just Julian Hill and Tanner Conner at TE. Yeah, they can bring up Rucci from the PS.
BUT, we only have 2 RB’s available for game 1. Yeah, they can bring up Jeff Wilson from the PS.
BUT, Minkah is healthy but the rest of the safety group have been dealing with injuries. We should be ok, though.
BUT, 2/5 of our OL (the right side) are dealing with injuries. We have healthy depth though that is not saying much. So, as far as bodies we should be good there also.
So, it looks like it comes down to needing to bring up a TE and a RB for the game.
BUT, you can only bring up 2 players from the PS each game. One of them has to be a kicker.
Do you go TE or RB for the other?
kicker will e one spot
Yeah, thought I said that. lol
Do you go TE or RB for the other spot?
RB, Ingold can play some TE too
we suck in 12/22 (running) personnel anyways, so Ingold would be available
I’ve never seen Ingold play TE. Maybe some HB.
we have enough skilled players, Waller is a WR anyways, his snaps can go to NWI
Waller will be needed 2nd half of season
Alain’s episode 553 has a good take on nickel CB, Dante says, based on Weaver’s position less secondary presser comment, Minkah and Iffy also can play it, so it will be based on who the slot WR is
6 DBs could look something like Minkah, Iffy, Duck, Rasul, Marshall + any 1 of Jones, Brents, Campbell, Davis Trader
wonder what Marshall does, if Minkah or Iffy are playing slot?
does he stay off the field and another S comes in?
we have options for sucky play, hopefully those replacing sucky aren’t too sucky
M – Waller will soon be following in Cooper’s steps
Think he just needs the Hand to go fix his ailments
I was kind of thinking the same thing… natty Raiders pulling the retirement deal. But… do you think maybe we trade for Amari Cooper next year when he un-retires?!! LOL
YA CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!!! LOL 😆
It just may happen if Chris Grier is retained as our GM after this season.
Oh hell….I’m about to bust out the tired old “WTF is an HB” debate now! 🥊
Dak gets spit on and not a single Dallas OL did a thing.
maybe didn’t see it
LOL, great start for the Eagles
What team do I hate more?
Dallas, but after the spitting incident Im rooting for Cowboys
you gotta be some kind of stupid or arrogant
I’d like to see a rule change on kicks and punts, penalties like holding, when there’s a fair catch or touchback, should be waived off
For the kicking team, the fly guy, that runs OB on his own or doesn’t get back inbounds quickly, should also be waived off under same circumstances
Eagles had a guy move before the kickoff, and it was a touchback, it should be waived off too
I am NOT a fan of this whole somebody riding a dolphin when they talk about us. And now….i gotta hear some fat dude saying it chafes his thighs. I don’t understand this World anymore.
Unfortunately, I know exactly what you speak of LOL
The sport is still the same for the most part. The media has exploded into a bastion of nonsense.
CD Lamb with 3 drops that have killed his team
PROVE IT….USA Today’s Sports headline: With 3/4 page picture of MM in rolled up sweats, tennis shoes, no socks…….
…..lol. Wish I could figure out how to post it!
This is not the picture in the my paper version….lol
Mike McDaniel, Miami Dolphins
His redemption story following personal trials and tribulations as he climbed the coaching ladder, quirky personality and ability to generate some serious offense produced ample good feels during his first three seasons in South Florida, the first two ending in postseason berths. And yet the Fins are fast approaching the 25th anniversary of their most recent playoff win, and have too often come up small in big spots under McDaniel. Throw in a widespread perception that this team is soft and that McDaniel doesn’t hold his players sufficiently accountable, and you start to see what seems to be the writing on the wall. Owner Stephen Ross certainly left his mark on it in January, when he issued McDaniel and GM Chris Grier the dreaded vote of confidence wrapped around an unmistakable message, saying in a statement that read in part: “(C)ontinuity in leadership is not to be confused with an acceptance that status quo is good enough. We will take a hard look at where we have fallen short and make the necessary changes to deliver our ultimate goal of building and sustaining a winning team that competes for championships.”
is x any different than Rasul Douglas?
both are past their prime, but they’re both ball hawkish. So you gotta be careful
