Miami Dolphins Discussion: Your Support Of The New Guys Edition

Miami Dolphins Discussion: Your Support Of The New Guys Edition

By now, the entire football world is aware that our Miami Dolphins are yet again entering a rebuild phase under a new regime. The support for the new regime in Miami, General Manager Jon-Eric Sullivan, and Head Coach Jeff Hafley, among actual Phins fans, ranges from positive to skeptical to negative. We each have our own expectations for this team as we enter the first year under this new regime. The new regime will, of course, in an effort to keep their new gigs as long as possible, do their very best to meet the expectations of the majority of...

Memorial Day 2026

Memorial Day 2026

Today brings back one of the major traditions I have here on The Phinsider. Since I have been running the site, I have made this post on Memorial Day each year. Today marks the unofficial start to summer for many in the United States, but this day has so much power and meaning leading to the holiday weekend. I turn The Phinsider away from football for a day, and I ask you to take a minute just to remember the meaning and the heavy price tag that comes with the Memorial Day weekend.

As I say each year, there is...

Dolphins supporting cast – The Splash Zone 5/25/26

Dolphins supporting cast – The Splash Zone 5/25/26

Expectations among national analysts are not high for the Miami Dolphins as many believe they just don’t have enough pieces on the offensive side. The offensive line got reinforced with the selection of Kadyn Proctor, but Patrick Paul and Aaron Brewer are still there. With Proctor at left guard, that’s a pretty solid lineup on the left side and at center with Brewer. Of course, we cannot forget De’Von Achane at running back who has developed into such a threat out of the backfield. While the supporting cast isn’t great, it’s not a bottom of the barrel group as there...

Miami Dolphins Discussion: Why Be A Fan Edition

Miami Dolphins Discussion: Why Be A Fan Edition

We all made it to this point, that of being a fan of the Miami Dolphins, via a different route, either via someone else’s fandom or all on our own. While some of the routes are similar, we all have our own story as to how we found ourselves here. But what of others? That child that you know, or some other person that you have regular contact with, might be getting into the sport of football as a fan. What would you tell them? Some of us are long-suffering fans, but we are still here year in and year...

Will versatile Dolphins rookie Kyle Louis outperform draft position?

Will versatile Dolphins rookie Kyle Louis outperform draft position?

The Miami Dolphins drafted University of Pittsburgh linebacker Kyle Louis in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Although he wasn’t selected until Day 3, plenty of people around the league are already expecting big things from Louis.

According to Bleacher Report, Louis is one of the most likely Day 3 draft picks to make an immediate impact in the league due to his ability to be versatile. He can play close to the line of scrimmage when needed, but also excels in coverage at 6’0” and 220 lb. With Miami’s safety room lacking star power, Louis could find...

Miami Dolphins 2026 “Face Of The Team” According To You

Miami Dolphins 2026 “Face Of The Team” According To You

With nearly everyone who could be considered a possible “face of the franchise” having been fired, cut or traded away (with the exception of De’Von Achane), I asked the following question:

**Who do you believe will emerge as the new “face of the franchise” for our Miami Dolphins this upcoming season? Will it be the new starting quarterback, Malik Willis, or maybe running back De’Von Achane, or new linebacker and assumed future quarterback of the defense, Jacob Rodriguez, or maybe even the new head coach, Jeff Hafley? Maybe it’s someone I haven’t even thought of, so please let us know...

What to expect from Miami’s rookie receivers in 2026

What to expect from Miami’s rookie receivers in 2026

The Miami Dolphins are in a rebuild.

From top to bottom, most of the team’s highest earners were cut or traded this offseason, in an effort to get the team under the salary cap in 2026 and beyond. The effect of those wholesale changes are seen throughout the team, but perhaps nowhere more blatant than wide receiver.

Last season, the team once lined up Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle on the outside. But after trading Waddle to the Denver Broncos and releasing Hill, Miami’s receiver room was left bare. So, general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan’s answer was to draft three wide...

Dolphins HC doesn’t want Malik Willis to “overdo the whole leadership thing”

Dolphins HC doesn’t want Malik Willis to “overdo the whole leadership thing”

It’s no secret that the 2026 Miami Dolphins are going to look much differently than they have in recent years.

For starters, they have hired a new general manager — Jon-Eric Sullivan — who has taken a wrecking ball to the team’s roster in order to rebuild a squad that saw their record go from 11-6 in 2023, to 8-9 in 2024, and down to 7-10 last season. As a result, Mike McDaniel was sent packing in favor of a new head coach — Jeff Hafley. What about the quarterback position? Tua Tagovailoa was given a major payday by former...

Dolphins 90 in 90: Tight end Greg Dulcich looking to build in 2026

Dolphins 90 in 90: Tight end Greg Dulcich looking to build in 2026

Our 90-in-90 series took a two-day break after just two articles had been posted. On Thursday, I had just about finished a look at tight end Jalin Conyers, only to have the Miami Dolphins announce they were waiving the 2025 undrafted free agent signing. It was perfectly timed to throw off my post. Yesterday, I just did not have a chance to post.

Which brings us to today’s look at the Dolphins’ 2026 roster. Each article in the 90-in-90 series is designed to let us get a closer look at one player on the roster, breaking down who he is,...

What can we expect from the Dolphins receivers – The Splash Zone 5/23/26

What can we expect from the Dolphins receivers – The Splash Zone 5/23/26

Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are both gone, meaning there’s going to be several new faces catching passes this season for the Miami Dolphins. It’s hard to expect much from a wide receiver room that lacks some star power, but this Dolphins offense is expected to be run heavy. Someone is going to have to catch some passes though. That could be Malik Washington, who’s a returning vet, or one of the new vets in Jalen Tolbert or Tutu Atwell. There’s also some rookies in Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman Jr. or Chris Bell, whenever he gets healthy.

How many wins for the Dolphins this year – The Splash Zone 5/22/26

How many wins for the Dolphins this year – The Splash Zone 5/22/26

Expectations for the Miami Dolphins are pretty low among fans and analysts. That’s to be expected when a new regime comes in and gets rid of the high-priced players to get the salary cap into balance. They are also focused on getting younger and developing that talent. Some analysts are predicting as low as two wins for the Dolphins this upcoming season while a few others have them around five wins.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
