Miami Dolphins’ 2026 rookie draft class looks poised to reshape the depth chart as many as six first-year players could start Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Is this youth wave a sign of a bold rebuild or a risky gamble? Kyle Crabbs breaks down the rapid ascension of Kadyn Proctor at left guard, Chris Johnson locking down the secondary, and Jacob Rodriguez embracing the Mike linebacker role—all set to play significant snaps under Jeff Hafley’s system. Other hot topics include Aaron Brewer’s advice to Proctor—channeling Roger Saffold’s technique—Michael Taaffe’s push for a key safety spot, and why Jordan Phillips is earning the highest praise from coaches for his grit in the trenches. With Caleb Douglas, and potential difference-makers like Will Kacmarek and DJ Herman also in the mix, the Dolphins’ lineup is set for unpredictable energy and competitive fire.

Everybody knows what the Miami Dolphins lost this offseason. Today, the Dolphins Squad Show flips the conversation and asks a much more interesting question: What if these young Dolphins can actually play? Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber is joined by Dolphins insider Kyle Crabbs and former Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Jeff Zgonina to examine the young players and position groups that could outperform expectations during the 2026 NFL season. Miami enters the season with one of the youngest rosters in football, and general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley have made it clear that youth, development and opportunity are central to the organization’s new direction. The Squad begins by examining what Miami actually has rather than focusing exclusively on what the Dolphins lack. Then the spotlight turns to one of the most fascinating position groups on the roster: wide receiver. Could Malik Washington legitimately emerge as Miami’s leading receiver? Is 6-foot-4 rookie Caleb Douglas ready for a breakout season? What is Chris Bell’s ceiling now that he has returned from ACL surgery? Where does Kevin Coleman Jr. fit after flashing throughout training camp? And can Bobby Slowik use the versatility of this young group to create matchup problems across the formation? GRIES, Kyle and Z also dive into a linebacker room that suddenly looks much more intriguing than expected. Veteran Jordyn Brooks provides the foundation, but Miami made one of its boldest roster decisions by releasing Tyrel Dodson — who recorded 129 tackles last season — and handing major responsibility to rookie Jacob Rodriguez. What did Rodriguez show the Dolphins to win that job? How does Willie Gay Jr.’s hybrid versatility change Hafley’s defense? Can Jackson Woodard translate his turnover-filled preseason into defensive snaps? And where does versatile rookie Kyle Louis fit? Then the Squad selects Miami’s biggest potential breakout players on both sides of the football. Names include Caleb Douglas, Malik Washington, Chris Bell, Jonah Savaiinaea, Chop Robinson, Jacob Rodriguez, Dante Trader Jr., Chris Johnson Jr., Jackson Woodard and Keith Cooper Jr. Finally, attention begins turning toward Week 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders and veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins. Miami’s young linebackers and secondary will immediately face an experienced quarterback capable of identifying mistakes before the snap. National expectations for the Dolphins are extremely low. Now the young players Miami chose have an opportunity to change the conversation. The kids got the jobs. Now we find out if the kids can play. #MiamiDolphins #Dolphins #FinsUp #DolphinsSquadShow #NFL #MalikWashington #CalebDouglas #ChrisBell #JacobRodriguez #ChopRobinson #JeffHafley #MalikWillis \*\*\*\*\* 'LIVE' Miami Dolphins Commentary + Analysis from Miami Dolphins Defensive Tackle Jeff “Z” Zgonina, Locked On Dolphins' Kyle Crabbs and Host Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber.

Miami Dolphins enter captaincy week with leadership questions as Jeff Hafley puts the vote to players—who will step up in a roster full of fresh faces? Kyle Crabbs spotlights likely candidates like Malik Willis, Aaron Brewer, Zach Sieler, and Jordyn Brooks, examining what true veteran presence means for a unit returning only 21 of 53 players. Are the Dolphins destined for four, six, or more captains—with NFL trends seeing teams like the Chargers and Rams naming double digits? Crabbs breaks down Bobby Slowik’s arrival as offensive coordinator, asking if he’s the missing piece or just another wild card after mixed results in Houston. With Miami’s high-variance roster, the spotlight turns to new chemistry between Will Sheppard and Kyle McCord, practice squad churn, and the legacy of “Ray Feinga” 2.0—Ethan Bonner. Will this young squad surprise the league, or are the Dolphins headed for another season of uncertainty? 00:00 Team Captain Selection Discussion 04:02 Discussing veteran leadership choices 10:37 Bobby Slowik's Overlooked Role 11:47 Analyzing offensive strategies in football 17:16 Bobby Slowik's unique opportunity 20:26 Ray Feinga's NFL career journey 22:47 Ethan Bonner joins Dolphins' practice squad 25:09 Comparing Wease and Sheppard Image Credit: Sam Navarro - IMAGN Images Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

The Miami Dolphins’ preseason is over — and general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan immediately went to work reshaping the football team. Following Miami’s preseason finale against Atlanta, the Dolphins finalized their initial 53-man roster and then unleashed another extraordinary wave of transactions, including seven successful waiver claims, eight new additions to the active roster and 26 total transactions in one day. Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber is joined by Dolphins insider Kyle Crabbs and former Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Jeff Zgonina to break down one of the most eventful roster weekends in recent franchise history. The show begins with what Miami actually learned from its 17-12 preseason loss to Atlanta. Jeff Hafley again protected most of his starters, Miami finished the preseason 0-3 and scored only one offensive touchdown all preseason — yet several young players continued to emerge, including Chris Bell, Jackson Woodard, Keith Cooper Jr. and Dante Trader Jr. Then the Squad dives into Sullivan’s massive roster overhaul. Miami claimed quarterback Brady Cook, tight end Justin Joly, offensive linemen Chukwuebuka Godrick and Jarrett Kingston, defensive backs Marcellas Dial Jr., Reese Taylor and Julius Wood, while also signing veteran defensive end Malik Herring. The Dolphins also completely rebuilt the quarterback room behind Malik Willis. Quinn Ewers was traded to Jacksonville, Kyle McCord was acquired from Green Bay, Brady Cook was claimed from the Jets and Mark Gronowski returned on the practice squad. Kyle breaks down what McCord brings after leading college football with 4,779 passing yards at Syracuse in 2024 and producing 446 yards and four touchdowns during this preseason. One of Miami’s biggest surprises came at linebacker. Veteran Tyrel Dodson — who recorded 129 tackles last season — was released after Miami determined rookie Jacob Rodriguez had won the competition. Willie Gay Jr. remains because of his valuable hybrid ability, while young linebackers Jackson Woodard and Kyle Louis also survived Miami’s roster overhaul. The Squad examines Miami’s youth movement, with players including Chris Bell, Caleb Douglas, Kevin Coleman Jr., Jackson Woodard, Keith Cooper Jr., Dante Trader Jr. and Chris Johnson all emerging from training camp as members of one of the NFL’s youngest rosters. GRIES, Kyle and Z also break down Miami’s new offensive-line depth, secondary additions, the injuries to Trey Moore and Kenneth Grant, the Jarquez Hunter/Tutu Atwell trade sequence, Bradley Pinion’s shaky preseason and where Sullivan may still look to upgrade the roster. Finally, the focus turns to the most important evaluation of Miami’s entire 2026 season: Malik Willis. Sullivan believes Miami has enough talent around Willis to properly determine whether he can become the Dolphins’ long-term quarterback. Now that roster construction is largely complete and Week 1 approaches, there are no more preseason excuses. The new Miami Dolphins are taking shape. Now they have to play. #MiamiDolphins #Dolphins #FinsUp #DolphinsSquadShow #NFL #MalikWillis #JeffHafley #JonEricSullivan #KyleCrabbs #DolphinsNews #DolphinsRoster \*\*\*\*\* 'LIVE' Miami Dolphins Commentary + Analysis from Miami Dolphins Defensive Tackle Jeff “Z” Zgonina, Locked On Dolphins' Kyle Crabbs and Host Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber.

Miami Dolphins shake up their 53-man roster, claiming a staggering seven players off waivers and flipping 15% of their lineup overnight. Can newcomers like Justin Joly and Brady Cook ignite fresh competition and boost Miami’s playoff hopes, or is this a sign of deeper roster concerns? Kyle Crabbs spotlights the team’s bold acquisitions—ranging from tight end Justin Joly to athletic quarterback Brady Cook and toolsy tackle Chu Godrick—and breaks down why the Dolphins’ front office is relentlessly churning in search of hidden gems. Kyle Crabbs digs into the impact of these dramatic changes on Miami’s offensive and defensive depth charts, weighs risk vs. reward among the newbies, and analyzes candid remarks from GM John Eric Sullivan on roster honesty and developmental priorities. Key talking points include the fate of outgoing players like Clelin Ferrell and AJ Green, the strategic vision for the Dolphins heading into the 2026 NFL season, and the likelihood these pickups can become long-term contributors. 00:00 Analyzing Dolphins' draft decisions 05:15 Evaluating Dolphins' quarterback options 08:14 Discussing player signings and evaluations 10:25 FanDuel college football excitement 13:46 Roster depth and positions update 16:57 Evaluating Waiver Wire Additions 22:40 Discussing the Dolphins' 53-man roster 24:44 Constructive criticism for Dolphins roster Image Credit: Sam Navarro - IMAGN Images Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Miami Dolphins eye bold roster shakeup as Kyle Crabbs identifies prime waiver wire and vested veteran targets. Can Miami outmaneuver rivals for impact players like Will Levis, Cole Wisniewski, and Darrian Kinnard to strengthen key positions ahead of the season? Kyle Crabbs breaks down the Dolphins’ strategy navigating the waiver wire with the 11th pick, spotlighting promising names at quarterback, offensive line, edge rusher, and defensive back. He examines the trade-offs, including likely cuts for newcomers and the ripple effects on depth at wide receiver, tight end, and linebacker.

Miami Dolphins shock fans with their youngest 53-man roster in years—could this youth movement fuel a bold new era, or spell growing pains ahead? Seven wide receivers make the cut, while the quarterback room is overhauled with Malik Willis and new arrival Kyle McCord, prompting questions about depth and competition under center. Kyle Crabbs breaks down surprise roster moves, including the departures of Jarquez Hunter and Tyrel Dodson, as well as key additions like DJ Herman at fullback and AJ Henning at receiver. The defense showcases fresh faces with Chop Robinson, Josh Uche, and Keith Cooper, while only three safeties remain on board. With discussion around possible waiver claims, the Dolphins’ roster churn isn’t over yet.

The Miami Dolphins’ preseason is officially over following a 17-12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, and now the real decisions begin. Miami finished the preseason 0-3 while playing its established starters sparingly, including sitting Malik Willis and most of the first team for the final two games. Jeff Hafley has consistently emphasized health, evaluation and the value of Miami’s physical training camp and joint practices — but now the question becomes whether that approach has prepared the Dolphins for Week 1. Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber and former Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Jeff Zgonina break down everything that happened against Atlanta and what it means for the roster. The Dolphins failed to score a touchdown Friday, with Riley Patterson accounting for all 12 points, but Miami’s defense created three takeaways. Rookie wide receiver Chris Bell finally made his NFL debut after ACL rehab, Jackson Woodard continued his breakout summer with another fumble recovery, and several young players made final arguments for roster spots. The show also examines the unusually heavy preseason usage of veterans Tyrel Dodson and Willie Gay Jr., Jacob Rodriguez’s injury, the loss of Trey Moore to ankle surgery, and the growing questions surrounding Miami’s depth. Then GRIES brings in Kyle Crabbs’ latest 53-man roster projections, including the possibility that Miami still adds an outside quarterback, offensive lineman, edge defender and even a new punter after leaguewide cuts. Who makes the receiver room? How does the Jarquez Hunter trade impact De’Von Achane, Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II? Did Jackson Woodard force his way onto the roster? Is Chris Bell ready for a real role? And just how much roster churn could Jon-Eric Sullivan create before Week 1? Finally, the Squad turns the page from preseason football to the real Miami Dolphins — Malik Willis, the starting offensive line, De’Von Achane, Caleb Douglas, Malik Washington and the group Jeff Hafley has largely protected throughout August. The evaluations are almost over. Now we find out whether Miami is actually ready. #MiamiDolphins #Dolphins #FinsUp #DolphinsSquadShow #NFL #NFLPreseason #JeffHafley #MalikWillis #ChrisBell #DolphinsNews \*\*\*\*\* 'LIVE' Miami Dolphins Commentary + Analysis from Miami Dolphins Defensive Tackle Jeff “Z” Zgonina, Locked On Dolphins' Kyle Crabbs and Host Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber.

The Miami Dolphins are entering the final stage of training camp with major roster decisions looming, key injuries piling up and one final preseason opportunity for players fighting to make Jeff Hafley’s first 53-man roster. Host Jim “Gries” Grieshaber is joined by Locked On Dolphins host and Dolphins insider Kyle Crabbs, former Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Jeff “Z” Zgonina, newcomer Wes Goldberg of Locked On Dolphins Hits and the Squad to examine where Miami stands following its 26-3 preseason loss to the New York Giants. The Dolphins managed just 102 total yards and three first downs against New York, but the bigger concern coming out of the weekend is the state of Miami’s roster and several important injuries. Rookie linebacker Trey Moore is headed for ankle surgery after emerging as one of Miami’s most versatile young defenders, while defensive tackle Kenneth Grant remains week-to-week. The Squad also examines the latest on Zach Sieler, Jordyn Brooks and Tyrel Dodson. There are positives. Kyle breaks down several players who helped themselves against New York, including Jackson Woodard, Josh Priebe, Kevin Coleman Jr., Keith Cooper Jr. and Alex Austin. The crew also discusses the emergence of Dante Trader Jr. and Chris Johnson, Chop Robinson’s impressive summer, and Malik Willis’ overall progress despite a difficult Tuesday practice. Then the focus turns to the biggest question of the week: Who actually makes the Dolphins’ final 53? Miami still has major decisions at backup quarterback, wide receiver, offensive-line depth, safety, cornerback and throughout the front seven. The Dolphins have already begun churning the bottom of the roster, claiming wide receiver Ryan Miller from the New York Giants while waiving Tahj Washington and adding new players as Jon-Eric Sullivan prepares for leaguewide roster cuts. Kyle identifies the players sitting closest to the roster bubble, while Z explains what an NFL player fighting for one of the final jobs can actually do in his final preseason opportunity to force a coaching staff to keep him. Finally, the Squad previews Friday’s preseason finale against the Atlanta Falcons, including whether Miami’s starters should play, the unresolved QB2 competition between Quinn Ewers and Cam Miller, the potential preseason debut of Chris Bell, and the final roster battles Jeff Hafley needs resolved. Plus, former Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa returns to Miami as his competition with Michael Penix Jr. continues in Atlanta. It’s a loaded edition of the Dolphins Squad Show as Miami moves one step closer to Week 1. #MiamiDolphins #Dolphins #FinsUp #DolphinsSquadShow #NFL #NFLPreseason #JeffHafley #MalikWillis #TreyMoore #ChrisBell \*\*\*\*\* 'LIVE' Miami Dolphins Commentary + Analysis from Miami Dolphins Defensive Tackle Jeff “Z” Zgonina, Locked On Dolphins' Kyle Crabbs and Host Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber.

The Miami Dolphins' second preseason game delivered far more questions than answers as the New York Giants dominated Miami 26-3 at Hard Rock Stadium. With Malik Willis and most of Miami's established starters held out, the Dolphins used the afternoon to evaluate the players battling for roster spots — and the results were alarming. Miami finished with only 102 total yards, three first downs and 50 rushing yards, converted just 2-of-11 third downs, committed eight penalties for 59 yards and turned the football over twice. New York controlled possession for more than 40 minutes and outgained Miami 390-102. Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber is joined by Locked On Dolphins host Kyle Crabbs and former Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Jeff Zgonina to break down what the performance actually means for Jeff Hafley's roster. The crew discusses Miami's troubling depth behind the starting offensive line, the unresolved backup quarterback situation following Quinn Ewers' injury, Cam Miller and Mark Gronowski's performances, Jaylen Wright's fumble, the lack of offensive production and another afternoon with limited pass-rush impact. There were a few positives. Rookie wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. produced Miami's biggest offensive play with a 30-yard reception, while Jackson Woodard recovered a fumble and Cam Riley led Miami with 10 tackles. The Squad also examines the injuries to Trey Moore and Ollie Gordon II, why Moore's status could be particularly significant, and whether Miami may need to aggressively attack the waiver wire when NFL roster cuts begin. And after Miami elected to sit virtually its entire starting unit for its first home preseason game, GRIES, Kyle and Z debate whether modern NFL teams have gone too far in replacing preseason game action with controlled joint practices — and whether paying fans are getting a fair product. It's the immediate Dolphins Squad Show reaction to a forgettable afternoon in Miami. #MiamiDolphins #Dolphins #FinsUp #NFL #DolphinsSquadShow #Miami #NFLPreseason #Giants \*\*\*\*\* 'LIVE' Miami Dolphins Commentary + Analysis from Miami Dolphins Defensive Tackle Jeff “Z” Zgonina, Locked On Dolphins' Kyle Crabbs and Host Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber.
