The Miami Dolphins’ sweeping organizational transformation now reaches the very top.

With Daniel Sillman assuming a larger leadership role and Tom Garfinkel transitioning from president and CEO to vice chairman, the Dolphins have placed an exclamation point on the beginning of a new era. O.J. McDuffie, Chris Perkins, Mike Oliva and The Legendary Sevach discuss what the change means for the franchise, why Steve Ross deserves credit for embracing such a dramatic overhaul, and whether Sillman’s arrival will finally produce a different approach to football operations. The crew also recognizes Garfinkel’s highly successful tenure overseeing the organization’s business ventures, including the stadium transformation and the growth of major events surrounding the Dolphins.

The conversation then moves to the field, where Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan continue establishing their vision through teaching, competition, accountability and constant roster evaluation. The guys break down Austin Jackson’s latest injury, whether Miami should begin preparing Kadyn Proctor at right tackle, Jacob Rodriguez’s impressive start, the emerging competition at linebacker and the position groups that remain the biggest concerns.

Plus, the panel discusses:

• Why this may be the most comprehensive Dolphins reset in decades
• How Hafley’s hands-on coaching style is connecting with players
• The young defenders pushing established veterans for playing time
• What a successful rebuilding season should actually look like
• Another spirited edition of “I Tried to Tell Y’all”

Chris Perkins made a bold case in a recent Sun-Sentinel column: the Miami Dolphins may already have the foundation of their next great leadership trio. On this episode of Fish Tank LIVE, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chris Perkins, Chad Van Horn, and The Legendary Sevach dive into the debate—and not everyone is convinced.

Can De'Von Achane, Aaron Brewer, and Jordyn Brooks become the type of leaders who change the trajectory of a franchise in the way Dan Marino, Jason Taylor, and Zach Thomas did? Or is it simply too early to compare this group to the Dolphins icons who defined previous eras?

The crew also discusses:

• ESPN ranking the Dolphins' roster among the NFL's weakest
• Whether De'Von Achane deserves more respect as one of the league's elite running backs
• Why Aaron Brewer has quietly become one of the team's most important voices
• Jeff Hafley's impact on the culture and accountability of the organization
• O.J.'s unforgettable training camp stories from Rolling Hills
• Another spirited edition of "I Tried to Tell Y'all"

The Miami Dolphins have already rewarded De'Von Achane and Aaron Brewer with new contracts, but one foundational piece is still waiting...

Should Jordyn Brooks be next?

On this Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk crossover, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, and Mike Oliva debate whether the Dolphins should give Brooks a contract extension now, wait until later, or potentially explore other options.

Brooks was arguably Miami's best defensive player in 2025, but with a new regime in place, a youth movement underway, and three linebackers drafted this year, is committing long-term money the right move?

The guys discuss Brooks' value on and off the field, the impact he has on a young defense, salary cap implications, trade rumors, and whether the Dolphins can afford to let one of their leaders walk.

Should Miami pay Jordyn Brooks now... or be patient?

Former Miami Dolphins captain and five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Terron Armstead dives into The Fish Tank with O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit for an honest conversation about football, leadership, injuries, retirement, and his transition into the media world.

Armstead opens up about launching The Set, the realities of building a podcast from scratch, and the challenges of moving from the locker room to the media side of the game. He also shares his perspective on Mike McDaniel’s leadership style, the Dolphins' explosive 2023 season, and why injuries—not schemes—ultimately derailed a team that once looked like a Super Bowl contender.

Most powerfully, Armstead reveals the physical toll of a 12-year NFL career, including learning before the 2024 season that his knee would eventually need to be replaced. Rather than walk away, he made a decision to finish on his own terms, relying on experience, preparation, and mental toughness to battle through one final season.
