Number 1: Life Without De’Von Achane | Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover
The Miami Dolphins showed signs of progress against the Kansas City Chiefs, but the biggest story coming out of the game was a devastating one: De’Von Achane is lost for the season. On the latest Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and Mike Oliva react to the loss of Miami’s most explosive offensive weapon and examine what life without Achane could mean for the Dolphins for the remainder of 2026. Can Ollie Gordon II step into the RB1 role? How much can Miami ask of Jaylen Wright when he returns? Could Malik Washington become a bigger part of the running game? And with Achane no longer commanding the attention of opposing defenses, how much more difficult does life become for Malik Willis and Miami’s young receiving corps? how-much-will-miami-miss-achane The guys also discuss some encouraging developments from the loss to Kansas City, including an offensive line beginning to establish a physical identity, signs of second-half improvement from Jeff Hafley’s defense, and impressive flashes from young defenders Jacob Rodriguez and Michael Taaffe. Despite an 0-3 start, are we beginning to see this young Dolphins team take meaningful steps forward? how-much-will-miami-miss-achane Plus, Juice breaks down the controversial penalty involving Travis Kelce, the crew looks ahead to another difficult matchup against Minnesota, and the Dolphins prepare to find out just how much they can accomplish without the player who had become the centerpiece of their offense.

Number 2: Where’s the Pass Rush? Hafley, Chop & the Dolphins’ Defensive Problems | Fish Tank LIVE
Two games into the season, the Miami Dolphins have plenty of issues to sort out—but few are more glaring than a pass rush that simply hasn’t gotten home. O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chad Van Horn, Mike Oliva, and The Legendary Sevach break down Jeff Hafley’s struggling defensive front and ask what Miami can do to generate pressure with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs coming to town. With Chop Robinson returning to practice, Juice explains why it’s time for the former first-round pick to start making his presence felt—and why pressures can be nearly as valuable as sacks for a secondary that can’t be asked to cover forever. The crew also examines the bigger challenge facing Hafley: Miami’s defensive front isn’t just struggling to rush the passer—it needs to be better against the run, too. Is this a scheme problem, or does Hafley simply not have enough proven personnel to execute what he wants to do? Plus, the guys discuss why Dolphins fans may be judging Malik Willis too quickly, the growing pains of Miami’s young receivers, the latest injury news on Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell, the disastrous start for the special teams unit, and which Dolphins rookies have been the biggest surprises through two games. And in “I Tried to Tell Y’all,” The Legendary Sevach channels Tupac to remind Dolphins fans that if they wanted real change after the old approach failed, they may have to live through the uncomfortable part of a rebuild before they see the results. The Dolphins knew this season would require patience. But with Mahomes coming to Miami, the defense doesn’t have much time to find some answers. Edited by Sevach Melton.

Number 3: Don’t Panic Yet: Dolphins Rookies SHINE Before Huge 49ers Test | Fish Tank LIVE
The Miami Dolphins may have left Las Vegas with a loss, but Week 1 gave us our first real look at what this young team could become. And despite the final score… there were flashes. Jacob Rodriguez looked comfortable in the middle of the defense. Caleb Douglas continued to make his case. Miami’s young players stepped up in big moments, and Malik Willis showed enough athleticism, toughness and arm talent to make the conversation around his future a LOT more interesting. But this is still a rebuild — and there were plenty of reminders. The pass rush disappeared. The offensive and defensive lines struggled. And Miami’s special teams were anything BUT special, nearly surrendering multiple huge returns and repeatedly putting the Dolphins in terrible situations. So what happens now? The Dolphins stayed out West, headed to Napa and now prepare for an even tougher Week 2 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. On this episode of Fish Tank LIVE, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, The Legendary Sevach, Mike Oliva and Sun Sentinel columnist Chris Perkins break down: •What we actually learned from the Week 1 loss to the Raiders •The impressive debut of Miami’s rookie class •What Malik Willis showed — and where he still needs to grow •The Dolphins’ alarming special-teams problems •Jacob Rodriguez’s impressive first NFL game •Caleb Douglas and Miami’s young playmakers •What a REAL NFL rebuild actually looks like •What improvement should look like from Week 1 to Week 2 •And whether this young Dolphins team can hang with the San Francisco 49ers This season was never going to be a finished product in September. Week 1 was the baseline. Now we find out whether Miami can start stacking bricks. The bond don’t break. #MiamiDolphins #Dolphins #FinsUp Edited by Sevach Melton.

Number 5: The Dolphins Told Us This Was Coming…So Why Is Everyone Freaking Out?
The Miami Dolphins told everyone what was coming. Now that the rebuild is actually here, why is everyone so surprised? O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chris Perkins, Mike Oliva and Chad Van Horn break down Jon-Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley’s aggressive roster overhaul as Miami continues getting younger, churning the bottom of the roster and reshaping the team in their image. Is this simply what a true rebuild looks like—or are the Dolphins making too many changes at once? The crew digs into the completely revamped quarterback room, the decision to move on from Quinn Ewers, Kyle McCord’s arrival behind Malik Willis and the challenge of getting new quarterbacks ready with the regular season already here. They also identify their biggest concerns entering Week 1, including Miami’s youth, an uncertain pass rush and major questions in the secondary. Plus, Juice takes everyone back to school with an “I Tried to Tell Y’all” lesson on roster math: addition, subtraction, division, multiplication—and the 53 players left when the equation is finished. The rebuild is no longer theoretical. This is what it looks like. Edited by Sevach Melton. Theme song created and performed by The Honorable SoLo D.
