The Dolphins have continued their strong play under coach Slip, getting out to a 7-3 start. The team is right in the thick of the surprisingly competitive AFC playoff race as well as fighting for the lead in the AFC with the Patriots. While the team's defense has not played as well as they have in previous seasons, this Dolphins squad appears to be the most well balanced of coach Slip's Dolphins squads. Offensively, the team is currently 12th in points scored and near (or in) the t...

Through 7 games of the season, the Dolphins currently possess a 5-2 record and are tied for the division lead in the resurgent AFC East. Despite a noticable increase in overall success in their division, the Dolphins have gotten out to a 4-0 record against their division rivals, including a sweep of the New York Jets. The team's defense has taken a notable step back so far in the season, particularly in yardage allowed, but remain in the top 10 in least points allowed per game. To help...

In this edition of Dolphins player profiles, we discuss longtime Dolphin CB Xavien Howard. Howard played his college ball at Baylor before being drafted by the Dolphins with their 2nd round pick in the 2016 NFL draft. Since being drafted, Howard quickly worked his way to the top of the team's depth chart. Despite some contract disputes and unhappiness, Howard and the team have overcome those issues to make Howard one of the longest tenured Dolphins on the team. Within coach Slip's ...

Here are the season 3 predictions by MSR.

The Dolphins were fairly quiet this offseason in stark contrast to their activity last season. The major exception to that of course being the blockbuster trade that brought superstar DB Jamal Adams to Miami in exchange for Miami's 2 current 1st round picks as well as LB Jerome Baker. While it was a steep price, the team firmly believes the addition of a defensive playmaker like Adams can help take the defense to even greater heights. In free agency, the team did not make a single sign...

The Dolphins had a solid showing in the playoffs this year, making it to the AFC Conference Championship game. In the wildcard round the Dolphins took down the Chargers in a wild comeback victory that came down to the final play of the game, 35-31. The team's inconsistent play in the wildcard round is best exemplified by QB Tua Tagovailoa's statline, finishing 19-21 with 349 yards, 3 TDs and his only 2 incompletions being interceptions including a pick-6. Jaylen Waddle shined, goin...

The Dolphins finished the regular season 13-4, good enough to win the AFC East and secure the #2 seed in the playoffs. The team's offense, while still average in most categories, was improved from last season. This was particularly true for the rushing attack, where HB Ronald Jones ran for 1,144 yards and 20 TDs behind a much improved offensive line. WR Jaylen Waddle took a step forward in his 2nd season, racking up 1,105 receiving yards and 14 TDs on 63 catches, with a kick return TD ...

Through 10 games of the regular season, the Dolphins stand at 7-3 and are currently 1st place in the AFC East ahead of the 2nd place Jets. The strength of the team remains its defense, which is in the top 10 in yardage and points rankings, including #1 in passing yards and #4 in points allowed. While the rushing defense is a relative weakness coming in ranked #10 in the league, that still represents a major improvement from last season. The other notable difference on defense has been the ...

In this edition of player profiles, we are focusing on 2nd year passrusher Jaelan Phillips. Following an unconventional college football career ending at the University of Miami, Phillips was selected by none other than the Miami Dolphins in the 1st round of the 2021 NFL draft. Phillips rewarded that decision with a strong rookie season, playing in every game and recording 45 tackles and an impressive 8 sacks. So far in his 2nd season, Phillips only seems to have grown as a passrusher, alr...

The Broncos are sitting at 2-6 at week 8 of the MSR 32 season. We started off extremely slow going 0-6 to start the season. A multitude of issues were occurring and have been addressed the previous two games. 1. Rookie QB Wallner was struggling at the new under center pro style offense, drastically different than his spread college days at Texas A&M. The scrambler was struggling with his drop back mechanics and pocket presence. The slightest pressure would get him flustered. Alot of exper...[ Continue reading ]
