Another Dolphins Podcast

Edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips suffered a season-ending Achilles injury against the New York Jets, which is where we begin the podcast. Episode 2 of In Season Hard Knocks highlights Phillips before his season came to an end. While it was a hard watch, HBO continues to deliver with its story-telling ability. The Miami Dolphins, led by Vic Fangio, are turning up the heat with one of the league's best defenses — who is the best player on the unit? We run through some options — highlighting both the top-end talent and depth constructed by general manager Chris Grier. The Dolphins continue their playoff push, but who could've guessed the defense could push the offense out of the spotlight?

Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Christian Wilkins leads the team with 6.5 sacks but safety Jevon Holland is the glue keeping the defense together. We walk through the rest of Miami's defense, highlighting the top-end players helping the Dolphins hold first place in the AFC East. We turn the question to you — who is the best player on the Miami Dolphins? Would you lean Jalen Ramsey, or is one of the emerging players ready to steal the title?

The Miami Dolphins feature one of the league's best defenses with just six games left in the 2023 season. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio wasted little time shuffling the deck until the team fit his vision — but who is the best player on the unit? Is it three-time first-team All-Pro Jalen Ramsey? He's played just four games this year but already leads the team with three interceptions. Keep in mind that he's making the players around him better, too.

The Miami Dolphins suffered a brutal blow in the fourth quarter of the Black Friday win over the New York Jets as linebacker Jaelan Phillips tore his Achilles and will be forced to miss the remainder of the 2023 season. HBO's Hard Knocks had cameras at the game and featured plenty of Phillips in Episode 2, ending with his injury. It's a tough episode to watch, especially knowing the result, but we see and hear plenty of positive things about this team — and how it'll stick through Phillips as he battles back from the injury.

Friday's Black Friday win against the New York Jets was a tale of two halves as a flurry of interceptions late in the first half warped a 10-0 Miami lead to 17-6 after Jevon Holland's 99-yard touchdown in the closing minutes of the second quarter. Jake and Josh start with another stout defensive performance from a unit that's allowed more than 21 points just once since Week 5. Despite throwing two interceptions, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa played well against the Jets, throwing for 243 yards and a touchdown. Miami's passing attack raised some eyebrows — should there be concern that receivers not named Waddle and Hill combined for a total of 27 receiving yards? We wrap the show with thoughts on the brutal injury Jaelan Phillips suffered early in the fourth quarter. Another Dolphins Podcast is hosted by Joshua Houtz (@Houtz) and Jake Mendel (@JMendel94).

News broke Saturday morning that, after three tackles for a loss and two quarterback hits, Jaelan Phillips tore his Achilles and will miss the remainder of the season. When meeting with the media, coach Mike McDaniel mentioned that franchise left Terron Armstead is considered week-to-week with a quad injury. Jake and Josh discuss the injuries and look at possible solutions moving forward.

It wasn't always pretty but the Miami Dolphins offense totaled 395 total yards on Black Friday against the New York Jets. Quarterback Tua Tagovaolia's two interceptions jump off the stat sheet, but it wasn't necessarily a bad day. The Dolphins finished the day 11/16 on third down while averaging 4.5 yards per carry. We'd like to see Miami win the turnover battle, but it may not be possible with how fast decisions are made in Mike McDaniel's offense. The Dolphins lost the turnover battle to the New York Jets and Las Vegas Raiders over the last two weeks.

The New York Jets struggle to get much of anything going offensively, so they let quarterback Tim Boyle throw the ball 38 times in his first start replacing Zach Wilson at quarterback. The Dolphins took advantage of New York's struggling offense, allowing just one touchdown while intercepting Boyle twice. Miami found success against the ground game, too, holding Breece Hall to just seven carries for 25 yards in Miami's 34-13 win. Was this game more about Vic Fangio and the defense, or about the New York Jets and their inability to find the end zone?

The Miami Dolphins improved to 8-3 on the season with a big-time 34-13 win over the New York Jets on Friday. Improving to 3-3 on the road, the Dolphins are one step closer to securing the AFC East Crown with just six games left in the regular season. The Dolphins scored 14 points in the second and fourth quarters but it wasn't always smooth sailing for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and Miami's offense. The offense has now turned the ball over six times in the last two games but Vic Fagnio's defense continues to be a stabilizing force. We quickly run through key plays and takeaways from the win: Jevon Holland's 99-yard interception return Limiting Breece Hall to 49 yards Sacking Tim Boyle 7 times Turnover struggles continue for the Dolphins Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson Jr.'s role stabilizing the offense Another Dolphins Podcast is hosted by Joshua Houtz (@Houtz) and Jake Mendel (@JMendel94).

The Miami Dolphins took care of business with a 20-13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders but the seven-point win left plenty to be desired as the offense turned the ball over three times. It's a quick turnaround for Miami with a Black Friday game against the New York Jets (4-6) looming. The Jets decided to bench Zach Wilson for veteran quarterback Tim Boyle and while it seems like a good matchup, the Dolphins haven't won a road game since Sept. 17, a 24-17 win over New England. Divisional matchups are usually tough and Friday's game will test if Miami's offense can avoid mistakes and win the turnover battle against one of the NFL's worst offenses. The Jets have lost three straight games but if Sunday's game was any indication, the Dolphins haven't found their second-half rhythm just yet.

Zach Wilson led the New York Jets to a 4-6 record, but it's now Tim Boyle time. The Jets announced the benching of Wilson in favor of Boyle, 29, who's thrown three touchdowns and nine interceptions throughout his five-year career. On top of that, New York's offense line is one of the league's worst and has allowed an average of six sacks over the last three games. Miami's offense has struggled, but the defense allowed more than 21 points once since Week 5. Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb could have a field day in Friday's matchup — would you consider it among the weekend's best Black Friday deals?

Only ten teams have a worse turnover ratio than Miami's -4, but this week's Black Friday game against Tim Boyle and the New York Jets is a chance to change the tone. The Dolphins forced three turnovers against the Las Vegas Raiders, but the offense also turned the ball over three times. Miami won four of its last six games — that can change to five of the last seven if the turnover battle is won. Can quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins offense go into New York and play four clean quarters against one of the league's toughest defenses?

Only the Baltimore Ravens average more rushing yards per game than the Miami Dolphins but recent injuries could jeopardize the team's ground assault. The Dolphins announced on Tuesday that Salvon Ahmed would be placed on injured reserve. Raheem Mostert played 55/70 snaps last Sunday but Miami will need another answer at the position. De'Von Achane "should" play Friday and Jeff Wilson Jr., despite being a healthy scratch last week, is another option the Dolphins could lean on down the stretch — will it be enough to reach the finish line?

The first episode of Hard Knocks debuted last night, and if you're like me, it exceeded all expectations. From Head Coach Mike McDaniel and Linebackers' Coach Anthony Campanile addressing the team to Tua Tagovailoa's cornrows and aspirations to be Santa. There was even a wedding and a very unfortunate nacho incident. Episode one had everything, but most importantly, it lets us know what to expect from this series moving forward. Join me as I recap this week's episode of HBO Max's Hard Knocks. #FinsUp Another Dolphins Podcast is hosted by Joshua Houtz (@Houtz) and Jake Mendel (@JMendel94). Houtz is Hans Solo for this episode!

The Miami Dolphins trail just the Baltimore Ravens in rushing yards per game but are suddenly dealing with a handful of injuries at the position. After playing 20 snaps and scoring a touchdown Sunday, the Dolphins announced that running back Salvon Ahmed would be placed on injured reserve with a foot injury. On top of that, rookie De'Von Achane played just four snaps before leaving the game with a knee injury. It sounds like coach Mike McDaniel decided to play it safe with Achane, but we'll have to wait and see how safe. Jeff Wilson Jr. was a healthy scratch last week but will likely have a large role in the coming weeks. Another Dolphins Podcast is hosted by Joshua Houtz (@Houtz) and Jake Mendel (@JMendel94).

The Miami Dolphins overcame three turnovers and remained perfect at Hard Rock Stadium with a 20-13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. It wasn't a clean performance for the offense, but Miami's defense came to play, and three-time All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey stole the show the way with two interceptions in the win. Jaelan Phillips, who also secured an interception, and Christian Wilkins led the charge up front by holding running back Josh Jacobs to 39 yards on 14 carries. On the other side of the ball, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa became the first player to throw for over 300 yards against Las Vegas this season in the seven-point victory. Tyreek Hill continues his pace towards 2,000 yards, but is there reason to worry about coach Mike McDaniel's offense ten games into the season?

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa became the first player to throw for 300 passing yards against the Las Vegas Raiders this year, ending Sunday with 325 yards and two touchdowns. That said, it wasn't always smooth sailing for Tagovailoa and the offense. Miami's quarterback threw an interception and fumbled the ball away early in the first half. On top of that, tight end Julian Hill also lost a fumble to the Raiders' defense. Although a consistent 70-point average isn't expected for Miami throughout the season, are current offensive struggles a phase of growth or a cause for genuine concern?

The Miami Dolphins traded Hunter Long and a third-round draft pick for cornerback Jalen Ramsey and he's becoming the rising tide lifting every metaphorical ship on defense. Ramsey missed the season's first seven games but since returning, he's allowed just four receptions for 41 yards in coverage — along with three interceptions. We expected Ramsey to be great with the Dolphins, but we didn't think the three-time first-team All-Pro would return to form this quickly.

The Miami Dolphins return to action this weekend after a Week 10 bye and will play the Las Vegas Raiders at home. Being 6-3 and undefeated at Hard Rock Stadium, the Dolphins are 13.5-point favorites against the 4-5 Raiders. De'Von Achane is healthy and back in the lineup to play a Las Vegas defense allowing 1.93 rushing yards before contact, the highest rate in the league. Does that signal success for Achane, or could Miami's other tailbacks steal the show? Defensively, the Dolphins are healthy and must slow down the talented duo of wide receiver Davante Adams and running back Josh Jacobs, who are responsible for generating most of Vegas' success on offense. Could this be a statement game for Vic Fangio's defense? Another Dolphins Podcast is hosted by Joshua Houtz (@Houtz) and Jake Mendel (@JMendel94).
