Sean Payton concocted villainous plan to get revenge on Miami Dolphins

Sean Payton concocted villainous plan to get revenge on Miami Dolphins

While it seems like a lifetime ago in the minds of Dolphins fans, Miami’s historic 70-20 victory over the Denver Broncos took place less than three years in the past — September 24th, 2023, to be exact. Since that game, the two teams have gone in opposite directions — with Denver an ankle injury to quarterback Bo Nix away from making last year’s Super Bowl, and Miami beginning yet another rebuild attempt this offseason.

While Dolphins fans have fond memories of that 70 point offensive outburst, at least one person doesn’t recall that day being quite as pleasant for him...

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

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 name players that affected their salary cap, mainly QB Tua Tagovailoa. Plus they’re going through a youth movement. While the Dolphins roster may not impress anyone, there are a handful of players with plenty of potential who could be key players down the line.

Chop Robinson named Dolphins’ most promising ‘building block’

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 less experienced and younger players, hoping to see steps forward from those men.

In an article released on Sunday, Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report named every NFL team’s most promising building block — focusing on players he deems to be “on the cusp of being...

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

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 the 2025 season — Rasul Douglas. Douglas signed a one-year, up to $3.8 million deal with the Washington Commanders on Monday.

Barry Jackson — longtime Dolphins reporter — reported via social media that Sullivan and the rest of the Miami Dolphins’ decision makers made no...

Is De’Von Achane still underrated?

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 all running backs in the NFL. The list was compiled by Jeremy Fowler, but was determined by a league-wide vote of executives, coaches and scouts. De’Von Achane — Miami’s freshly paid back — made the top-10, yet he came in at just #8 overall.

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

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 as a run stopper. Phillips should have another significant season playing alongside Zach Sieler and Kenneth Grant in the middle of the d-line.

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

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

How good with 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 new regime is going to prioritize. Last year’s left guard, Jonah Savaiinaea, is making the transition back to right guard and will get a chance to compete for that spot. If all things go to plan, this offensive line should be better than expected when...

Should Dolphins pursue a veteran wide receiver?

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 Draft — Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell and Kevin Coleman Jr.

However, multiple recognizable names at the position are still available in free agency. Would the Dolphins be interested in bringing in an accomplished veteran to lead the unit and help mentor their young pass catchers...
