Episode 53: Wait, We Had A Game This Weekend? (vs. New England Review)

In a game that ultimately meant nothing for the Dolphins, Miami hosted the New England Patriots on New Year’s Day and played, at least on defense, like their resolution was to mimic teams of yesteryear.

Phinalysis Episode 16: Merry Clinchmas

The Dolphins have clinched a playoff berth for the first time since before Obama took office. Miami will ring in the new year, not by celebrating the end of the season, but by preparing for, in all likelihood, the Pittsburgh Steelers. Travis and Kevin are back to discuss the shootout in Buffalo, a brief preview…
What is the Wide-9 Defense?

As the resident “Defensive Coordinator of Perfectville” I thought it’d be pertinent to start up a series about the Wide-9 and how the Dolphins can look to improve it heading into 2017. So, with that in mind, let’s look at where this defense really comes from. Most NFL teams are playing primarily nickel fronts, either…
Episode 52: Home For The Holidays, Away For The Playoffs (Week 17 vs. New England Preview)

The Miami Dolphins are going to the playoffs! And not just in video game form this year, but for realsies!

Week 16 Review: Playoffs Cometh

Dolphins 34 (10-5) Bills 31 (7-8) OT It’s uncertain which party was more rocking. The team charter back to Miami on Christmas Eve, or my party following the Chiefs victory Christmas night. Popping Champagne and drinking anything with an ounce of alcohol content, the Dolphins first post-season berth in eight years was more jubilant than…
Episode 51: Holiday Buffalo Wings (@Buffalo Bills Preview)

Just in time for the holidays, Sam and Chris preview the big AFC East match-up against the Buffalo Bills on Christmas Eve. If Miami wins, and Denver loses, The ‘Phins are in the playoffs.

Kenny Stills: The Key Component of Adam Gase’s Brilliant Offense

Just one quarter into the 2016 season, Kenny Stills instantly became the most vilified Dolphins player for the brand new season. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill took the shot gun snap on an unusually sun-drenched day at Century Link Field in Seattle. As Earl Thomas broke on what he believed to be a sit down route, Stills…
Week 15 Review: On the Post-Season’s Doorstep Once Again

Playoff Picture Now Crystal Clear for Miami

In anticipation of the worst news Dolphins fans could possibly conceive, the implications of the weekend’s results were largely glossed over. The path to the playoffs for the Dolphins is now down to two teams. Miami only has to be concerned with the out of town scoreboard when it concerns the Denver Broncos. Should Matt…
Week 14 Review: Get Well Soon, #17

Cardinals 23 (5-7-1) Dolphins 26 (8-5) No stranger to disappointment in December, even the most optimistic Dolphins fan feared the worst entering week 14.

Episode 47: Flocked Up In Baltimore

Miami went into Baltimore seeking their seventh win a row, and left there still having only seven wins total, as the Ravens flocked the Dolphins up, 38-6. Defensively, Miami was terrible. Offensively, Miami was terrible. Special teams, however…was terrible. So what went wrong? Did anything go right? And does DeVante Parker have a second career…
Week 13 Review: Winter is Coming

Dolphins 6 (7-5) Ravens 38 (7-5) Like a newly minted 21 year old on a Sunday morning after the late night celebration, the aftermath of the Dolphins performance is best flushed down the toilet.

The Curious Case of Cameron Wake

The Dolphins trailed the Patriots by two touchdowns late in the third quarter in a late October Thursday night affair in Foxboro.

Who stepped up to thwart…
Week 12 Review: That’s Six Straight

49ers 24 (1-10) Dolphins 31 (7-4) Many will cite the Dolphins narrow victory over a one win 49ers team as evidence for the team being a fraud in terms of legitimately contending for the post-season. What they will ignore is the nature of the National Football League. The term any given Sunday isn’t just lip…

There are two prerequisites for developing a long standing reign of dominance in the National Football League. Option number one: employing the combination of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady.

All 22 Review From Cincinnati

The one good thing about Thursday’s game is the early availability of the coach’s tape. That’s the masochist in me speaking, though.
