The Same Old Dolphins Show

Welp. Tua Tagovailoa is on IR with another concussion.

While this represents a significant blow to the hopes Miami Dolphins fans had for this season, there are still 15 games to play and everything the team wants is still there in front of them to have...if they can figure out a way to win without their QB 1.

Aaron the Brain is back for a solo episode discussing how the Dolphins might manage to win without Tua. Then he looks at the Dolphins' upcoming matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, who look to be a bit better than a lot of folks expected them to be.

Once again, the Miami Dolphins came into the national spotlight with a chance to change the narrative around themselves. On Thursday night, rather than change the narratives, they reinforced just about every negative narrative surrounding them. The Buffalo Bills came into Hard Rock Stadium and were more or less gifted the game. The Dolphins were sloppy and inconsistent. The quarterback made poor decisions. The head coach made poor decisions. The team looked flat out unprepared. And then, with the game having mostly slipped away, Tua Tagovailoa took matters into his own hands, scrambling for a first down and initiating contact with Bills safety Damar Hamlin. The result was the quarterback lying on the ground, going into the familiar fencing position that we have all come to recognize as a sign of a concussion. Tua left the game, along with Jeff Wilson, Robert Jones, and Terron Armstead, who all suffered from injuries as well.

It was a disaster rolled into a nightmare, but it is the unfortunate reality. Where does the team go from here? Aaron and Josh discuss on another episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com.

It wasn’t pretty. In fact, there were large stretches where it was downright ugly, but the Miami Dolphins dug deep and pulled out a 20-17 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in their 2024 season opener at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

After a slow start, Miami’s offense began to look like itself in the second half, with significant contributions from the usual suspects, namely Tua Tagovailoa, Devon Achane, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle. But there were other contributions as well, including some late tough runs by Jeff Wilson. There was also Alec Ingold running up the middle from the off-set I-formation to great success in short yardage situations, a testament both to Coach McDaniel and the offensive line.

On the defensive side of the ball, Calais Campbell made an impact, as did Emmanuel Ogbah, and Jaelan Phillips. Of course, the biggest and most impactful play of the game came courtesy of Jevon Holland, who punched the ball out of the arms of Travis Etienne on a play that seemed destined to be a dagger in the Dolphins’ hopes of victory. Instead, it resulted in a game-changing turnover that propelled the Dolphins’ to a 4th quarter comeback victory.Of course, there are plenty of things to break down and worry about, including predictably worrying performances by the interior offensive and defensive lines. Jordan Power and Jalen Ramsey had moments that were worrying. But the fact remains that, despite playing a not-so-great game overall, the Miami Dolphins find themselves 1-0 and looking ahead to a huge divisional matchup with the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night.

At long last, we have arrived.

The offseason, the questions, the speculation, and the nonsense are behind us and we are finally – FINALLY – ready for meaningful regular season football!

The Dolphins enter Week 1 with some injury questions, the biggest of which surrounds Jalen Ramsey. Meanwhile, their opponents, the Jacksonville Jaguars are as healthy as can be. Will the Dolphins' explosive offense come out guns blazing in Week 1? Will Anthony Weaver's defense be prepared to slow down the Jaguars' offensive weapons?

With Josh (as listeners to yesterday's DolphinsTalk Staff Roundtable will remember) recovers from a brutal cold that has claimed his vocal chords, Aaron is joined today by Mike to preview the game and break it all down. It's the first GAME PREVIEW EPISODE of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com and it's gonna be a fun one!

Now that the Dolphins' preseason is behind us and the team's 53-man roster is beginning to take shape, the eyes of every Dolfan are shifting towards the regular season to come. It is a season of opportunity, with the Buffalo Bills rebuilding on offense and the Jets and Patriots still with a number of question marks of their own. The Dolphins, who have taken a step back in some ways themselves, are still positioned to make a serious run at the AFC East. Can they finally win the division, host a playoff game, and/or maybe even win one? Aaron and Josh discuss all of this and much more on a season preview episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com!

The Miami Dolphins received some very good news on Monday; Jaelan Phillips is being activated off the PUP list. This provides a huge lift to the team's new look defense. While it's not a certainty that he'll be ready to go for the season opener, it does indicate that he's going to be back in action much sooner than some had previously thought. In other news, Odell Beckham is considered "week-to-week." What exactly does that mean? Aaron and Josh are back to discuss both players plus they'll look back at the Dolphins' preseason opener and the mixed bag of performances that were both encouraging and discouraging.
