It's NOT The Same Old Dolphins — But It Will Feel Like It, Soon

Kyle Crabbs — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 18:00:00 GMT

Miami Dolphins face crucial offseason spending decisions as 2027 looms. Can they maintain their draft-and-develop identity while meeting the NFL’s cash spending floor? Kyle Crabbs examines Miami’s salary cap reality, highlighting just 35% of next year’s cap committed and why significant free agency moves—including potential splash contracts—are all but inevitable.

Key discussion points include contract extension possibilities for Patrick Paul, the market value of players like Sam LaPorta, Parker Washington, and Tuli Tuipulotu, and the strategic risk of overspending versus prudent roster building. Insights on the CBA’s minimum cash spend rules, lessons from the Green Bay Packers, and the delicate balance of signing character-questioned stars like Puka Nacua or Rashee Rice make this must-listen analysis for fans anticipating how Miami’s front office will shape the future. Will the Dolphins spend wisely, or be forced into big-money deals just to meet the league’s financial benchmarks before 2030?

DOLPHINS SQUAD SHOW: Winless Dolphins Must Turn the Corner: What Has to Change Against the Jets?

Wes Goldberg, kyle crabbs, Jeff Zgonina, Jim Gries Grieshaber — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 17:28:37 GMT

The bye week is over, and the Miami Dolphins are turning their attention to the New York Jets and their first AFC East game of the season. On today’s Dolphins Squad Show, GRIES, Kyle Crabbs, Jeff Zgonina and Wes Goldberg break down what Miami needs to improve now: generating pressure and sacks, getting off the field on third down, forcing turnovers, protecting the football, creating explosive plays and eliminating drive-killing penalties.

We also discuss Jeff Hafley’s self-scout and his comments about revisiting plays from training camp that the Dolphins have not yet used in game plans. What could change on defense? What can the offense clean up? And what must Miami do to make the work from the bye week show up against the Jets?

Plus, we preview the first division matchup, track the latest injury and practice news, revisit the Dolphins–Jets rivalry, and close with the strangest NFL story of the week: the NFC East going two straight weeks without a win, including a 27–27 overtime tie between the Giants and Commanders.

The Dolphins' Bye Week Report Card Is In… And It's Not Pretty! | Nothing to Hyde

DolphinsTalk.com Podcast Network — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 16:37:00 GMT

The Miami Dolphins are 0-5 and heading into their bye week, which means it's time to hand out some grades! And on this episode of Nothing to Hyde, award-winning columnist Dave Hyde and former Dolphins defender Kim Bokamper aren't exactly grading on the same curve. Malik Willis gets a D+ from Dave, while Bo gives him a C. But the quarterback is hardly the only player under the microscope as the guys evaluate Miami's first five games and look ahead to what needs to change. From the surprising emergence of Ollie Gordon and Jacob Rodriguez to the development of the Dolphins' young offensive line and secondary, Dave and Bo examine what's working, what's disappointing, and where there's still reason for optimism.

The Dolphins Have a Special Teams Problem...And It's Getting Worse | Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover

O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 21:38:00 GMT

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.

Dive in with O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and Mike Oliva!

DOLPHINS SQUAD SHOW: Dolphins Defense Under the Microscope: What Has to Change After the 0–5 Start?

Jeff Zgonina, kyle crabbs, Jim Gries Grieshaber — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 14:20:00 GMT

The Dolphins are back from their bye week, and the biggest question is waiting on the defensive side of the ball: Miami has recorded four sacks through five games—and every one of them came against Minnesota. The Dolphins had zero sacks in each of their other four games. Was the Vikings performance a blueprint for the pass rush, or a one-week exception?

GRIES, Kyle Crabbs, Jeff Zgonina and Wes Goldberg break down the defense from the front to the secondary: Chop Robinson, Josh Uche, Zach Sieler, Kenneth Grant, the young defensive backs, third-down execution, communication and the questions Jeff Hafley and his staff have to answer after their bye-week self-scout.

We also look at Miami’s first five games as a whole, what the team can build on, where the coaching and personnel have to improve, the latest health and roster notes, the AFC East after Week 6, the Jets’ loss to New England, Buffalo’s win over Las Vegas, and the biggest stories from around the NFL. The Dolphins head to New York next—and we’ll be back with another show in two days.

The Miami Dolphins' Biggest Needs Through Six Weeks—And Who Could Change Their Fate?

Kyle Crabbs — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 12:00:00 GMT

Miami Dolphins face a pivotal stretch as several players—including Malik Willis, Josh Uche, and JuJu Brents—battle to secure their long-term starting jobs. Can emerging talents like Trey Moore and Michael Taaffe improve enough to shift the team’s needs hierarchy, or will key positions such as edge defender, right tackle, and cornerback remain critical weak spots as the season unfolds?

Kyle Crabbs takes listeners inside his film-based scoring system, exposing underperforming starters and highlighting the Dolphins’ pressing roster holes. Insights include Zach Sieler’s resurgence at B-gap defensive tackle, Chris Bell’s rollercoaster at wide receiver, and the challenges at quarterback with Willis under scrutiny. Plus, discussion of Mike McDaniel's struggles as Chargers OC and Jaylen Waddle’s surprising production in Denver put Miami’s offseason decisions in perspective. Don’t miss this fast-paced assessment of Miami Dolphins’ long-term roster outlook and remaining season storylines.

If The Dolphins Get the #1 Pick… QB or Jeremiah Smith?! | NFL Draft Debate

Battered Fans — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 13:31:00 GMT

If the Miami Dolphins land the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, should they automatically select a quarterback? Or should they seriously consider Jeremiah Smith?

The Dolphins' disappointing 2026 season has fans thinking about the future, and one of the biggest questions is what Miami should do if it finds itself picking first overall.

On this episode of Battered Phins Fans, we're debating one of the most interesting possibilities for the Dolphins' rebuild: selecting a potential franchise quarterback or taking Ohio State superstar wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, a prospect with the talent to become one of the NFL's most dangerous offensive weapons.

The Dolphins have major decisions ahead, and the next draft could help determine the direction of the organization for years to come.

QUARTERBACK OR JEREMIAH SMITH?

Let us know in the comments: If Miami owns the No. 1 overall pick, who are YOU drafting?

Subscribe to Battered Phins Fans for Dolphins news, NFL Draft debates, reactions, and analysis throughout the 2026 season.
