Ranking the Dolphins roster – The Splash Zone 7/7/26

Hopes are not high for the Miami Dolphins as no one seems to believe in this team at the moment. A recent article from ESPN ranking the rosters of all the teams in the league has the Dolphins sitting at the bottom of the list. The Dolphins had to make several decisions on some big […]

FIFA World Cup 2026: USA Vs. Belgium Live Thread

Chop Robinson named Dolphins’ most promising ‘building block’

The Miami Dolphins are prioritizing younger and cheaper players this offseason — as evidenced by the team’s mass exodus of talent, including quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, pass rusher Bradley Chubb, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and more… While the old-heads have been shipped out, Miami has retained the services of many […]

Dolphins had zero interest in re-signing top cornerback from last year

The Miami Dolphins are under new leadership after hiring new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and new head coach Jeff Hafley. They’re also in the midst of their latest rebuild attempt — prioritizing younger (and cheaper) players over pricey, older options. For those reasons, the team reportedly had no interest in re-signing their top cornerback from […]

Is De’Von Achane still underrated?

The National Football League is smack-dab in the middle of the summer lull period. The Miami Dolphins won’t have their full team together until training camp starts on July 28th, but in the meantime, there is still plenty to talk about regarding our favorite South Florida football team. On Monday, ESPN released an article ranking […]

A breakout season for Jordan Phillips – The Splash Zone 7/6/26

So many players on the Miami Dolphins roster are going to have plenty of opportunities to show their worth. Jordan Phillips appeared in all every game last season and made 16 starts as a rookie along the defensive line. While he did not record a sack, he did have 34 tackles and was used more […]

Dolphins Fans On 2026 Expectations For TE Greg Dulcich

In a recent ESPN article identifying each NFL team’s surprise player of the offseason, the Miami Dolphins’ selection was tight end Greg Dulcich. The choice highlights the rapport he has already built with the new starting quarterback, Malik Willis, during their offseason workouts. I then asked the following question: What are your expectations for Greg […]

Phinsider Open Live Thread: Happy 4th Of July Edition

I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful 4th of July holiday with friends and family. Due to the fact that this evening’s thread was likely to be dead or at least nearly dead with everyone out and about celebrating the 4th of July holiday, I figured a random live thread would do just fine for one […]

How good will the Dolphins offensive line be – The Splash Zone 7/4/26

The Miami Dolphins offense is going to go through a little change, and the offensive line might look a little different this upcoming season. The team invested a first round pick on Kadyn Proctor this year and he should slide right into the left guard spot. Proctor is big and athletic, which is something this […]

Should Dolphins pursue a veteran wide receiver?

The Miami Dolphins’ wide receiver room will look vastly different in 2026 than it has in recent memory. Veterans Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are no longer on the roster. The organization replaced them with free agents Tutu Atwell and Jalen Tolbert, while also drafting three receivers in the middle rounds of the 2026 NFL […]

Miami Dolphins Discussion: How To Handle Malik Willis Edition

By signing Malik Willis to a $67.5 million contract, with $45 million guaranteed, the Miami Dolphins have clearly signaled that the new regime intends for him to be the undisputed starter for the 2026-2027 NFL season. Replacing Tua Tagovailoa with Willis marks a major transition that will undoubtedly require a significant shift in the team’s […]

Sports Illustrated ranks Dolphins uniforms top-10 for entire NFL

The Miami Dolphins may not put forth an exciting product for fans during the 2026 season, but at least they’ll be dressed for success while you’re watching them try. This week, Sports Illustrated released their rankings of the best uniforms in the entire National Football League, and the Dolphins cracked the top-10 — coming in […]

Pathway to a winning season for 2026 Miami Dolphins

Let’s be real for a second. No one expects the Miami Dolphins to experience much success during the first season of new head coach Jeff Hafley’s tenure with the organization. After all, the franchise is in the beginning stages of yet another rebuild attempt after parting ways with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, wide receivers Jaylen Waddle […]

Dolphin players with the most to prove – The Splash Zone 7/2/26

With an entirely revamped roster, there will be several players on the Miami Dolphins who will need to step up if they want to be part of the team moving forward. Chop Robinson is one of those players who needs to show he belongs. He had a disappointing second season after finishing his rookie season […]

Dolphins most interesting games – The Splash Zone 7/1/26

The Miami Dolphins enter the 2026 season with little expectations as a new regime has entered town and gutted the roster. The team did need to go through some changes and hopefully with some time, they can get back to their winning ways. But looking ahead to this upcoming season, there are a few games […]

Miami Dolphins Discussion: 2026 NFL Schedule Edition

As the Miami Dolphins enter another season under a new regime and navigate significant roster changes, there is a palpable sense of uncertainty surrounding the team.

Last week, a devastating earthquake hit the country of Venezuela, leaving tens of thousands of people missing and a confirmed death toll of over 1,700 people at the time of this writing.

ESPN gives Dolphins high praise in offseason report cards

With just over two months left until the start of next season, the NFL offseason is nearly complete. Free agency and the draft have passed, post-June 1st cuts and trades have largely been completed, and teams are looking forward to Week 1 of the 2026 season. The Miami Dolphins, of course, are one of those […]

Evaluating Jeff Hafley in year 1 – The Splash Zone 6/30/26

Between fans and analysts, there isn’t much hope for the Miami Dolphins this upcoming season after gutting their roster to get younger. This season should be all about laying the foundation under new head coach Jeff Hafley. This team isn’t going to win much, probably. But wins shouldn’t be what we judge Hafley and the […]

Miami Dolphins Discussion: The Greg Dulcich Edition

This time of year, NFL analysts often scramble for storylines during the offseason’s news drought. ESPN, as a dominant force in sports media—particularly following their increased control over the NFL Network—is no exception to this trend. One of those recent storylines on ESPN was who has been the biggest surprise for individual NFL teams this […]

Kadyn Proctor and Chris Johnson impressing Dolphins coaching staff and teammates

The Miami Dolphins had two first round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft — Jon-Eric Sullivan’s first as the team’s new general manager. Offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor was taken with the 12th overall pick, while cornerback Chris Johnson was nabbed with the 27th selection after Miami traded up with the San Francisco 49ers. ESPN’s Marcel […]

Jordyn Brooks has shocking praise for Dolphins rookie linebacker Jacob Rodriguez

The Dolphins rostered the NFL’s leading tackler last season in Jordyn Brooks. The former first round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft had a staggering 183 combined tackles while leading Miami’s defensive unit. His work speaks for himself, however it was the veteran who had some very strong praise for a Dolphins rookie who plays […]

Big expectations for Chris Johnson – The Splash Zone 6/29/26

After being selected in the first round of this year’s NFL Draft, Kadyn Proctor and Chris Johnson are expected to be immediate starters. Proctor should slide right into the left guard spot while Johnson might just be the Miami Dolphins top cornerback. There are high expectations for Johnson, considering what Jeff Hafley outlined what the […]
