Locked On Dolphins Hit - Quick Takes on the Miami Dolphins

Miami Dolphins position battles are coming into focus, with Trey Moore and several young players making strong cases for major roles. The Dolphins depth chart could feature rookie starters at linebacker while a young group of wide receivers emerges as the foundation of Miami’s revamped offense.

Wes Goldberg breaks down why Moore appears positioned to start, how Miami is using his versatility and why Jacob Rodriguez could join him in the Week 1 lineup. Plus, Kevin Coleman Jr., Chris Bell, Caleb Douglas and Malik Washington are separating themselves in a crowded Dolphins receiver battle. Is Miami’s youth movement officially taking over?

Miami Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley revealed his philosophy ahead of the Dolphins’ joint practice with the New York Giants, and it tells us plenty about how he plans to build this team. Instead of trying to outscheme the Giants, Hafley wants Dolphins players tested one-on-one on technique, fundamentals and talent.

Wes Goldberg explains why Hafley’s comments matter for a young, unproven Miami roster and how the joint practice can help determine which players belong. From blocking elite pass rushers to covering top receivers without schematic help, Miami is prioritizing development over winning practice—and giving young Dolphins an opportunity to prove themselves.

Miami Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley is making the team’s new offensive identity clear: “No block, no rock.” The Dolphins have built a bigger, more physical wide receiver room, and Hafley expects his receivers to help establish Miami’s running game if they want the football. Wes Goldberg explains how GM Jon-Eric Sullivan’s roster construction matches Hafley’s philosophy and what it could mean for Miami’s offense. Plus, we have Dolphins injury updates on Kenneth Grant and Zach Sieler, Zeek Biggers returns to practice and Miami adds defensive tackle Cam Rice as the defensive front works its way toward Week 1.

Miami Dolphins future power rankings have Miami at No. 31 in the NFL, according to ESPN, including the league’s worst non-quarterback roster. But are ESPN’s projections overlooking the upside of the Dolphins’ rebuild under GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley?

Wes Goldberg breaks down why Miami’s current roster could represent its floor rather than its future. With De’Von Achane, Aaron Brewer and Jordyn Brooks providing veteran building blocks, the Dolphins now need their young talent to emerge. And whether the rebuild succeeds immediately or Miami lands another premium draft pick, there are reasons to believe the future could improve quickly.

Malik Willis electrified the Miami Dolphins' preseason opener with a commanding performance leading a 93-yard touchdown drive, showcasing poise, organization, and a deep connection with rookie receiver Caleb Douglas. Willis' ability to extend plays with his legs drew attention, especially his red zone scramble that resulted in a critical horse collar penalty for the Washington Commanders. Is Miami's offense finally coming into focus around its new starting quarterback?

Quarterback depth remains a glaring concern as Quinn Ewers struggled, hampered by a groin injury, and backup options Cam Miller and Gronowski faltered—combining for a dismal 4 of 19 and three interceptions. With potential trade rumors swirling around names like Anthony Richardson and JJ McCarthy, the Dolphins face a crucial decision: can they find a reliable backup to secure their offense before opening day, or risk unraveling if Willis is sidelined?
