Jonnu Smith situation ‘still fluid’ - The Splash Zone 6/17/25

Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.

No one is quite sure where TE Jonnu Smith will be playing this upcoming season, but it seems like he and the Miami Dolphins are still in the process of working it out. Smith would like a long term deal after setting franchise records in his first season with the Dolphins and Mike McDaniel really doesn’t want to lose a key offensive piece. With a month until training camp, there is...

Dolphins Fans Sound Off On Mike McDaniel

Dolphins Fans Sound Off On Mike McDaniel

We have now witnessed Mike McDaniel as the head coach of our Miami Dolphins for three full seasons. As we approach his fourth season at the helm, I asked the following question:

What do you think of Mike McDaniel as the head coach of our Miami Dolphins? Do you believe he will be the long-term solution for this team in that role? Do you see him growing into the job, or is he doomed like so many others before him? Should Miami continue to support him as he develops, or should they have already cut their losses and moved on?...

Is Tua Tagovailoa the Miami Dolphins’ ‘make or break’ player?

Is Tua Tagovailoa the Miami Dolphins’ ‘make or break’ player?

Pro Football Focus released a video on X this morning taking a look at the 2025 “make or break” player for each NFL team. When it came to the Miami Dolphins, the focus fell squarely on quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who is entering his sixth year in the league. Miami selected Tagovailoa with the fifth-overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, then signed him to a contract extension last year.

Trevor Sikkema and Dalton Wasserman discussed Tagovailoa just over an hour into their show. Wasserman has a scheduled article discussing his selection of Tagovailoa, and all 31 other players, but as...

Tua Tagovailoa one of NFL’s deadliest deep ball passers

Tua Tagovailoa one of NFL’s deadliest deep ball passers

According to Pro Football Focus, Tagovailoa of the Miami Dolphins is third highest graded quarterback on throws 20+ yards down the field in the last three seasons.

Since being drafted by the Miami Dolphins fifth overall in the 2020 NFL Draft, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been one of the National Football League’s most polarizing players. Whether it’s the national media, local media, opposing fanbases or even supporters of the Miami Dolphins, everyone seems to want to give their two-cents in regards to the 27-year-old’s ability to be a franchise player in South Florida.

One constant criticism hurled at Tagovailoa early...

What Nick Westbrook-Ikhine brings to Dolphins offense - The Splash Zone 6/16/25

What Nick Westbrook-Ikhine brings to Dolphins offense - The Splash Zone 6/16/25

Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.

The Miami Dolphins offense struggled as a whole last year and the team made some moves this offseason to hopefully remedy some of those issues. One of the main issues the team had was no size at the wide receiver room, which made third downs and red zone opportunities a bit more challenging. The Dolphins signed WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, who brings a different set of skills to the receiver room as...

Jaylen Waddle: ‘Lucky for me...same quarterback, same head coach, OC and run it back’

Jaylen Waddle: ‘Lucky for me...same quarterback, same head coach, OC and run it back’

The 2024 season did not go as planned for the Miami Dolphins and wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. The wide out is looking to rebound in 2025.

The 2024 season did not pan out as anyone in the Miami Dolphins organization hoped. The team struggled to score with an offense that never seemed to be in rhythm. Wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, who opened his career with three-straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons, saw his individual stats drop as Miami struggled to move the ball. He finished the 2024 season with just 744 yards on 58 receptions with two touchdowns, all well below his...

Your Miami Dolphins 2025 Best Case Scenario

Your Miami Dolphins 2025 Best Case Scenario

With the start of training camp set to start in less than two months, I asked the following question this week:

What do you see as the best-case scenario for this team as composed for the upcoming season? Will this be a year of progression, regression, or will they remain where they were last season (aka not nearly good enough given the money spent)?

Below are some of your thoughts and answers-

burstingfire believes that it can go all wrong, or it will be okay if Tua can manage to stay healthy.

Best case scenario IMO is Tua stays...

Will Cam Smith put it together - The Splash Zone 6/14/25

Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.

After being selected as a second round pick in 2023, CB Cam Smith faces a very important season ahead of him. Through his first two seasons with the Miami Dolphins, Smith really hasn’t done anything. When Vic Fangio was the defensive coordinator in 2023, he didn’t trot Smith out on the field a ton and this past season, Smith was dealing with injuries. GM Chris Grier made it known this offseason...

Predicting the 2025 Miami Dolphins’ 53-man roster after minicamp

Predicting the 2025 Miami Dolphins’ 53-man roster after minicamp

The Miami Dolphins have closed their 2025 offseason training program. We predict the 53-man roster as the team heads into the break.

The Miami Dolphins wrapped up their 2025 offseason training program on Thursday with the final day of their mandatory minicamp. The players now head into the break with holiday plans and individual workouts on their minds. Among the coaches and front office personnel, the break is a time to get some rest, while also starting to think about how they will assemble the final 53-man roster for the regular season.

Training camp opens at the end of July...

Phinsider Question Of The Day: NFL Expansion Edition

Phinsider Question Of The Day: NFL Expansion Edition

The question is not whether the NFL will expand again, but when. The league's commissioner, Roger Goodell, has been discussing potential expansion with the media for several years now. It seems that the owners are only interested in expansion if it translates to more money in their pockets. There are, of course, arguments against expansion. The most commonly cited argument is that it would dilute the talent across the league. The league already struggles to find enough quality quarterbacks to start at the NFL level for every team. Another argument is the potential travel issues that could arise for teams...
