Miami Dolphins 2025 Offseason State Of The Union

[@danielcosta6238]

Thanks for a great season of coverage, Kyle!

[@gregarmstrong6798]

This team actually exceeded my expectations. I thought they’d go 5-12 after last year’s finish. Then again, it turned out that they did play the easiest schedule of all. That said, they still finished sub-.500.

[@illfcreds]

Really, really appreciate Kyle's self-awareness that he was satisfied with the OL in the offseason despite the fact that many other Fins fans (many of them annoyingly) were sounding the alarm on the OL. I really appreciate the bluntness of Kyle all around.

[@mikemonahan8968]

While Grier has had a few finds in the draft, he also has some real busts. Channing Tindall, Cam Smith, Noah Ignobie, all undeniable busts. Can we trust Grier to not draft another of his son's roomates this year with a top pick? I'm tired of the Michael Diter and Hunter Long picks...only to see grier bail himself out with a free agent or UDFA that fills the role instead. The Dolphins are not good at NFL level talent evaluation. We don't seem to mind if a guy only played a limited number of snaps in college due to injury, we just roll the dice and the fans pay the price. Health and availablity MUST become part of the talent evaluation process for draft picks. If other teams have passed on a guy, Grier jumps in....even if HEALTH is the reason. I'm so done with his bad judgement.

[@timothy4667]

Well said. Not only did he draft some busts (and I like to include him picking Charles Harris over TJ Watt as one of the biggest mistakes there), but other things he did with draft picks could have been done with much better results. In 2021, we could have traded down to #12 (as we did) and stayed there to pick Micah Parsons and kept the 2022 1st rounder that we used to move from 12 back up to 6. I really like Waddle, but I think it's undeniable that Parsons has been the better player so far. And, if we had him (and TJ Watt 🙂) we wouldn't have needed to trade another 1st for Chubb, who then cost $20M/yr which could have been used otherwise.

[@dolphinmanjared]

Great show Kyle. Couldn’t agree anymore with anymore on needing young hungry guys who want to win a championship. Guys like tyreek can go if they want to think and act way he did Chubb should stay, he sounded like a leader.

[@danmorgan7775]

If we can get a 3rd for Hill to make up for the comp we missed out on for Wilkins I would do that all day. This roster needs quality young depth badly. If there isn't a player they have a top 10 grade on at a premium position at pick 13 I think trading down also makes sense.

[@roguebossa]

Fix the offensive guard position DECISIVELY on both sides, a good run game is essential to establish the pass game. It's just about as simple as that, do that and watch the difference.

[@shadowheart3034]

That only surface level issues, we need more then just guards

[@Ballaholic17]

@shadowheart3034 Yep. We had better guards the previous 2 years. Same result. They took advantage of a weak schedule last year with 9 home games, and no Thursday nighters to win 11 games. Big deal. There's definitely more underlying issues like preparation, culture, attitude, and accountability that you see with this team. It goes beyond X's and O's or Jimmy's and Joe's. There are teams doing more with less than we have here. The lack of problem solving, like fixing the same mistakes and player development, has led to much of the same over the last 20+ games.

[@trollwayy5981]

Good te too, gunnar helm

[@joec8942]

😂😢🤦‍♂️

[@tabray9567]

Good analysis

[@richradgoski1956]

The cost control discussion is key

[@tabray9567]

Kyle, earlier this year you had a commentary about Belichick and his style of coaching. You felt at the time that his style was out of step with today’s players. Today you talk about the lack of accountability with the Dolphins. Do you believe that there needs to be a blend of the old and the new style of coaching is necessary to get the best out of teams today?

[@LockedOnDolphins]

@@tabray9567 I do think too much of anything is probably a bad thing, yes. There’s a balance depending on your players and their personalities that should be aspired for and the hands off approach clearly got taken advantage of this year

[@joec8942]

We had that guy but we ran him out of town for an incompetent gm and sensitive noodle armed no read often injured choke artist mediocre quarterback.

[@corydg____]

1 more disappointing season to go before we blow it all up lol let’s get it

[@gmvigne]

Yo Kyle is that a Delaware top? I thought I was the only Blue Hens-Fins fan. 🎉🎉

[@sportsguy1997]

Do you know what time the presser starts?

[@osceolaseminole5596]

Probably after a lunch where he and McDaniel can chuckle and laugh about our concern over the O-Line.

[@jaredabern1616]

10 wants to take care of his family he should probably stop dropping touchdowns

[@UlisesS-t4l]

And... assaulting local charter captains, breaking gold digging snow bunnies' legs and being an A$$ to cops. 🤪

[@CastroJordan]

Right.. he’s lowering his price. His value is way down in the league. I don’t think 10 cares about anybody but 10.

[@UlisesS-t4l]

Let me try this again...the censorship machine deleted my comment yesterday. He should also try not to assault local boat captains, gold digging bunnies, and stop being a jerk to cops. I might as well add fire safety to the list as well.

[@JacobAaron97]

“If this team regresses again next year” Stephen Ross will probably extend them both 😂😂

[@donjohnson3195]

That trade ended up being a Bad Move... Could've had J.Chase smh...

[@hippiekennyg]

where is this bradley chubb interview at? This the second or third credible source ive heard mention bradley chubb speaking on the lack of accountability within this orginization, but i cant seem to find video or actual reports on an interview. If i remember correctly, barry jackson even said that chubb more or less called tyreek out directly, wtf am i missing here?

[@indade]

just like last offseason, i'll wait to see if the Dolphins fix their trenches, if they don't i'll have my answer for how the season will likely end.

[@bubblewrap4793]

Kyle can you in depth why Tyreek did not get thousand yards? I mean was it really injuries, targets or he lst a step?

[@LockedOnDolphins]

@@bubblewrap4793 well for starters I’d imagine he’d have gotten 1000 yards if he chose to play the second half when he needed 40 to get there and Miami was losing the whole time

[@ThePerfectSeason1972]

Exactly!

[@ThePerfectSeason1972]

We could have won this game, if we didn’t quit !

[@bubblewrap4793]

​@LockedOnDolphins except he wasn't even targeted enough to get another 40 yards.

[@danmorgan7775]

I guess he didn't have a contract incentive for reaching 1000 yards to provide the needed motivation to play.

[@joec8942]

Can you remember the last time reek caught a deep ball in stride? Neither can reek.

[@mrphim13]

After having watched that completely embarrassing pc, its hard to see us win more than 3 games next year

[@joec8942]

Fingers crossed

[@donjohnson3195]

Anyone, who wasn't Biased, knew the 2023 Season was Fraudulent... They beat All Bad Teams, Lost to the Good Teams.... How in the World, was that called a Good Season Smh...

[@IGOTGAMEAJ]

What Championship NFL organization has Race Tracks going around their stadium or Tennis Courts on the field. This organization has not won anything in over 50 years.Tua was 2 years old when Miami won their last playoff game

[@UlisesS-t4l]

I have hinted before that Ross makes so much $$$ with his other entertainment avenues tied to the stadium, that he may not be too hurt when the Phins don't do well. I can't think of any other reason as to why he cares so little what the fan base supports. Some fans disagree with me, but if he really is trying to win a title and be competitive, then he may not be as smart an NFL business man as some think.

[@dominicsofield393]

O & D line is where the game is won & lost. No matter what star players you have. Control the line of scrimmage, you win championships. That’s what Miami should focus on, winning Championships, not just winning games.

[@Ballaholic17]

My prediction in Jan 2026: The Miami Dolphins have parted ways with GM Chris Grier after a 6-11 season. According to Ian Rappaport, the Miami Dolphins are expected to hire Kyle Crabbs as their new General Manager.

[@UlisesS-t4l]

Lol, you might be on to something. Kyle is knowledgeable as heck. Could probably venture into roster planning and advance scouting in the nfl for sure. I would like to see a GM that has a strong, proven background in working with the cap and attracting talent.

[@mikesterner2145]

Why put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

[@mikegray7850]

Throw your hat into the ring Kyle. See if the Dolphins have any openings.

[@Ballaholic17]

@mikesterner2145 Great question. 🤷‍♂️

[@milton1448]

The rot starts from the top down. Until that is acknowledged, little will change.

[@MickRac10]

The record the last couple years, 11-6 in 2023, is as deceiving as the Broncos record this year. The Broncos were 1-7 vs teams over .500. all their wins came against bad teams. This is the illusion of success now in the NFL, minus some really good teams like the chiefs, ravens, eagles....the fins wins in 23 and 24 were all against teams under .500, excluding the Cowboys and Rams, and the Rams I believe were 1 game under at the time. In fact, the dolphins schedule last year included some of the worst teams in the league. When we evaluate the team, we should take all factors into account. Ross can look at the surface value of wins and in his mind, like Grier, blame injuries for the 8-9 record this year, but it's false. The team and roster hasn't been as strong as some would say. The coaching has been awful. After 3 years of McDaniel and Grier team up, those two saying this year was inexcusable, well, they are responsible for most of it for roster decisions and coaching and saying they're gonna fix it it now is ludicrous. They're the ones that screwed it up, so why would we think they can fix it. And why would we think McDaniel can be a head coach to young talent? He can't change his personality. Or Grier for that matter. They are both pushovers. It's a toxic, enabling relationship between Ross, Grier and McDaniel. 2025 is already a failure.

[@RiversideTrain-xv1gp]

What's the definition of insanity? Being a Dolphins fan and knowing that they actually kept this trash bin of management and coaches.

[@joec8942]

Mids qb that can’t throw outside the numbers either.

[@Thebxghooligan]

Everyone is acting like we’re the worst team in the league we went to the playoffs the last two seasons an offseason of a couple of roster changes we’ll be back

[@UlisesS-t4l]

All I know is that Huizenga (may he rest in peace) wanted to make the Dolphins a winner again, but he could not duplicate his Florida Marlins success. Mostly because he did not hit the lotto on a GM like he had in Dave Donbrowski on the baseball side. After Mr. H sold the Marlins, Jeffrey Loria destroyed that organization. Ross is our NFL Jeffrey Loria. The sucking will be lingering and painful.

[@Vegeta-4101]

Honestly after Ross announced that both Grier and McDaniel would be back my expectations for next year are at best 6-11. I'd rather being surprised than disappointed.

[@Fuckdafedsmane]

Ok douglie

[@fcapriles03]

Don’t know why we act the like the world is over. Big IF Tua stays healthy we are in the playoffs. That foundation is still there and if we get better in the offseason and McDaniel cleans up the operation we will be playoff bound again.

[@dundeedolphin]

Fair points. I think the answer is the tone deafness of the Ross press release.

[@faynierbarley1040]

Playoffs with Tua equals dolphins getting blown OUT

[@seanquinn4787]

​@@faynierbarley1040 this.

[@UlisesS-t4l]

Stephen Ross believes every word you just posted, hence why he is staying the course. (you know...nothing to see here)...However about 70% of the fan base probably disagrees, and rightfully so. Time will tell.

[@dundeedolphin]

@@UlisesS-t4l You can't know the percentage. Just saying. 👍🏻

[@davebarros9029]

Grier and McDaniel should be on the hot seat next season and changes should be made. This team is flawed

[@jameseverett2300]

Ross

[@andrewbrown3070]

Tyreek saying he needs to do what's best for his family is ridiculous. He got paid already, and got his deal reworked prior to 2024 so there was more guaranteed money for him going forward. His family is just fine!! His play is what wasn't fine and I will say that wasn't all his fault. The guy is a hell of a WR but is a narcissist with a 2 cent head. I get it he's frustrated but there are alot of people frustrated and now he left his coaches and team mates hanging an having to answer questions about his comments cause of his inability to be a grown up. He never should of had that Captain C on his jersey. There are people out there that will just make excuses for him that he is just trolling everyone and the jokes on us but this crap is getting old. Not to mention he posts his face on the body of Antonio Brown on his account like its a joke I guess?? Why in the hell would you want to make a post about having anything to do with that guy... are you trying to hurt your potential trade value or any destination you would potentially like to go?? Hes just stupid and can't help it. Go Dolphins!

[@barrywilliams6596]

The headline should read : Miami Dolphins 2025 Dumpster Fire Incoming

Absolutely Nothing will happen, with this Incompetent Owner... He's the Problem ‼️ PS I'd much rather keep Tyreek and Lose The Fragile QB, ANY DAY

[@Omega_419]

Jullian Hill is one of the worst players to ever wear the jersey. He gets a bad wrap because he creates it.

[@ThePerfectSeason1972]

In the books, let’s be hopeful, prosperous and positive, we’re going to the Super Bowl with Tua 2025 !

[@dioncooper2844]

Coach needs to grow up, not try to be one of the guys. Long shopping list. 2 guards 2 TE #2WR, Defense. DT, NT, 2 Safety's LB keep Dodson, CB would be a good start.

@@salromeri192 The list of missed opportunities in the Ross/Grier ear is long and distinguished. From coaches on down. We pass on and discard people and the rest of the league buffs them up into shiny jewels.💎

I think McDaniel is the bigger problem (Grier not much better)....McDaniel doesn't have a backbone.

[@stevekamitsis1327]

This team had a good coach, but Ross and Grier fired him, he's now coaches for the vikings, but will soon be a head coach again with new England.

[@stevekamitsis1327]

My last comment is that no real changes this year, well dread through another disastrous year, we were told long ago to move on from Tua, guys he is not worth what he is being paid, Grier taking Tua who is a square peg and Grier is trying to put Tua in a round hole, guys just doesn't work.

[@stevekamitsis1327]

Grier should have been gone long ago and McDonald's should be on runway to be gone, but the biggest disastrous award will go to Ross, shame on you for keeping these 2 clowns, Ross has devastated this once proud franchise and cares less about the enduring fans.
