Another Dolphins Podcast

The Miami Dolphins are halfway through a two-game road trip to begin the 2023 NFL season, and next up is a divisional battle with the New England Patriots. Two road wins against AFC opponents could help the Dolphins create some early-season separation in the standings. Nothing is ever that simple when coach Bill Belichick and the Patriots are involved.

However, this isn't your parent's Patriots team led by Tom Brady and Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is undefeated when facing New England. After throwing for more than 400 yards last week, will coach Mike McDaniel decide to take to the air or lean more on Raheem Mostert and the rushing attack?

Teams expect to be healthy early in the season, but that's not the case for the Patriots. Two of the team's linemen missed two days of practice with a concussion, and cornerback Jonathan Jones, who was not on the injury report Wednesday, was not seen at training on Friday. While coach McDaniel said he wants to run the football more, it could be bombs away against a weakened New England secondary.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for more than 400 yards as the team's offense scored 36 points against the Chargers last week. Los Angeles responded to each punch before the Dolphins' defense put the game away for good on the final drive. New England's offense isn't nearly as explosive, will Miami choose to run the football and slow the game down against a divisional rival limited by injuries?

The Dolphins had little issue scoring points in Week 1, but keep in mind, they scored 30 points against the Patriots just once since 2019 — it involved two defensive touchdowns. Will coach Bill Belichick have a plan to slow Miami's passing attack, or will it be business as usual en route to a 2-0 record to begin the year?

The Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots are preparing for a Sunday Night Football showdown with plenty on the line for two AFC East rivals. Despite it only being Week 2, the Patriots are dealing with a handful of notable injuries on each side of the ball. Five offensive linemen were listed on the report. Cornerback Jonathan Jones has missed back-to-back days of practice, could a big Tyreek Hill game be coming?

Offensive linemen Trent Brown and Sidy Sow have missed practice this week with concussions, and center David Andrews has been limited with a hamstring injury. Additionally, guards Cole Strange and Mike Onwenu were limited by leg injuries. Miami has a chance to pounce on a weakened New England offensive line after getting to Chargers' quarterback Justin Herbert for three sacks in Week 1.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for more than 400 yards against the Chargers following months of coach Mike McDaniel saying that the team would run the football more. The New England Patriots are a unique matchup for the Dolphins after they split the season series in 2022.

That said, Tagovailoa is undefeated in his career against coach Bill Belichick and the Patriots. Will Miami take flight on Sunday Night Football or switch their identity in order to pounce on New England? We hit everything from Kendall Lamm's strong performance on Sunday to if coach McDaniel found his 'Deebo Samuel' in Erik Ezukanma.

It's hard not to overreact to Week 1 of the NFL season — really hard. That said, Sunday's win over the Chargers was the first opportunity to see how Miami's roster has come together. The Dolphins earned a back-and-fourth road win, but who was holding the team back and who was pulling them forward?

Miami's offense has come together nicely despite new faces in new places in the trenches and out wide.

Looking at the defensive side of the football, should we have concerns regarding the run defense, or is the unit still working to understand Vic Fangio's defensive system?

Players highlighted in this podcast include Kendall Lamm, River Cracraft, Braxton Berrios, Emmanuel Ogbah, David Long Jr., and Connor Williams.

We understand how impactful quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and Tyreek Hill are, but who are the unsung heroes from Week 1?

The Dolphins put up 36 points with some clutch performances from Braxton Berrios and River Cracraft. Berrios looks to be the slot receiver coach Mike McDaniel has been searching for. Cracraft's versatility and ability to block is something to watch moving forward.

Of course, it wouldn't be right if we ignored Kendall Lamm and the offensive line keeping Tagovailoa clean for four quarters.

We're not trying to get too down on players after just one game, but there were a handful of concerning performances from Miami's 36-34 win over the Chargers. The Dolphins turned the ball over twice, and the defense was gashed for more than 200 yards — are these one-time problems or signs of things to come?

Tune in for thoughts about Emmanuel Ogbah and David Long Jr. being MIA in Week 1. We highlight concerns around Connor Williams and his ability to snap the football.

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins offense scored 36 points over the weekend and we take a look at how they toppled the Los Angeles Chargers. Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack were virtually invisible, did Austin Jackson figure something out this offseason, or was the line's success built by the scheme?

On the defensive side of the football, Jevon Holland was on the field for 80 days and was a consistent presence at safety for the Dolphins. We also take a look at Bradley Chubb, Jaelan Phillips, and the team's pass rush — will this group actually live up to expectations?

Aaron Rodgers played 75 seconds with the New York Jets before a torn Achilles derailed his first season outside of Green Bay. Zach Wilson took over at quarterback — and will remain the team's starter — as the Jets rallied back late and upset the Buffalo Bills 22-16 on Monday Night Football. New York certainly earned the gutsy win but expectations have certainly changed after the unfortunate injury to Rodgers.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen struggled to get much of anything going, turning the ball over four times in the loss. Buffalo is projected to win the AFC East — how much does that change if Allen continues to be reckless with the football?

It's only Week 1 but Monday's game will be felt for the remainder of the season — How does that impact the Miami Dolphins moving forward?

Tua Tagovailoa was virtually invincible with over 450 passing yards and three touchdowns as the Miami Dolphins dropped a 36-34 statement win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Tagovailoa's featured two turnovers inside the five-yard line — it didn't matter. The former first-round pick connected to Tyreek Hill for two touchdowns against a Chargers defense that refused to double the first-team All-Pro receiver.

The Dolphins had issues defensively but answered the call late, sacking quarterback Justin Herbert twice on the game's final drive to secure the win. Vic Fangio's defense surrendered six yards per carry on the ground — was that by design or a reason to be concerned moving forward? That said, the defense saved the day after Jason Sanders missed an extra point to put the Dolphins up three points with less than two minutes remaining.
