Miami Dolphins: My whirlwind weekend with the L...
The trade winds are blowing hard in Miami. On Friday evening, I (Matt Cannata) reported that the Miami Dolphins were making just about everyone on their team available and that Laremy Tunsil was included in that. On Saturday morning, Tony Pauline confirmed this. Then, all hell broke loose. What exactly went down? Why did we mention his name? And is the truth as black and white as it seems? I take you through my whirlwind weekend with a look behind the scenes of how this all went down. I also give an update on Jadeveon Clowney. Hint: It's not looking good for Miami. Why? I get into this and more. I also touch briefly on the trade rumors surrounding Kiko Alonso, Kenny Stills, and others on the team. Join me on this edition of Phinsider Daily!

Here’s what’s in store for this episode of Phinsider Daily, and make sure you follow me on Twitter @ASuttonPFN! I’ll interview one of the sharpest minds on the Brian Flores defense: Inside the Pylon’s Mark Schofield. Call me old fashioned, but as NFL fans collectively catch their breath before the regular season, let’s take stock in the man the Dolphins hired and why.  ~ How does the “front 6”, sometimes employing smaller players in “LB areas” of the field, function to be effective against the run? ~ How does Flores’ scheme use deception to create pressure? ~ How close is the Miami defense to having the personnel that Flores is used to working with?

Miami Dolphins: More questions than answers com...
The Miami Dolphins defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars, but coming out of the game, there are still more questions than answers. More specifically, around who the starting quarterback will be. While the “dress rehearsal” will help push the finishing touches on the roster, it also created many tough decisions for the Dolphins front office and coaching staff. While Ryan Fitzpatrick struggled, Josh Rosen shined. While the running back groups stumbled, Patrick Laird broke through. And Sam Eguavoen is making a case not only to make the roster, but to also be in the starting lineup. We address all of this and more on this week's edition of Phinsider Radio. Be sure to also check out this week’s episodes of Phinsider Daily, our individual spin-off shows: Monday: Josh Houtz takes a gander at the depth chart ahead of the dress rehearsal with the Jacksonville Jaguars (while holding his newborn daughter) Tuesday: A-A-Ron Sutton talks the quarterback quandary and whether Kiko Alonso is on the roster bubble with Kevin Nogle Wednesday: Matthew Cannata dissects the Jakeem Grant extension, Brian Flores and Kenny Stills, and more Thursday: Houtz previews the Jacksonville Jaguars preseason game Follow Matthew (@CannataPFN), Houtz (@Houtz), and Sutton (@ASuttonPFN) on Twitter!

Phinsider Daily: A Preview of the Miami Dolphin...
On today’s episode of Phinsider Daily, I break down the Dolphins Week 3 match-up vs their interstate rival the Jacksonville Jaguars.   With so much riding on tonight’s dress rehearsal, which players will seize the moment and prove their worth on the 53-man roster?  Can Josh Rosen close the gap between Ryan Fitzpatrick, or has a decision already been made internally? How will the rest of the offense perform, and which of these players could be on the chopping black with 53-man roster cuts on the horizon? We then turn our attention to the defense, and try to narrow down which player’s stock is up, and which is down.  How will the linebackers shape up, with key injuries to Kiko Alonso and Raekwon McMillan.  And what can we expect from the secondary heading into the regular season All of this and much more, on this episode of Phinsider Daily.

Miami Dolphins: Jakeem Grant signs extension, B...
Today on Phinsider Daily, Matt Cannata takes a quick look at the long-term extension that Jakeem Grant just signed with the Miami Dolphins. What might they have in mind for Grant moving forward and why was he a priority even though he is fourth or fifth on the depth chart? Cannata looks at several possibilities.  He also looks at Brian Flores and the messages he is trying to send. He's sent quite a few in camp already, with Kenny Stills being the latest victim. In fact, he played 7-8 Jay Z consecutive songs at Tuesday's practice. This drama comes on the heels of Stills calling out Jay Z and his new social reform efforts with the NFL. What does it all mean, and is Stills nearing his end in Miami? We also look at the infamous quarterback competition between Josh Rosen and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Who's going to come out on top? Flores may have left a few clues in his press conferences this week, but won't commit to a starter until at least Friday.

Phinsider Daily: A look at the Miami Dolphins’ ...
On today’s episode of Phinsider Daily, I am joined by newborn daughter to break down the Dolphins’ third depth chart, ahead of their week 3 dress rehearsal with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Why did Brian Flores name Ryan Fitzpatrick the starting quarterback, moments after giving praise to Josh Rosen-for how well he performed vs Tampa Bay?  How will the QB position play out in 2019, and what can we expect from Rosen when given his opportunity? We then take a look at the rest of Miami’s offense, and predict how it might look ahead of the 2019 regular season.  Who will start at right tackle? How will the Dolphins’ receiving core shape up, and which players are on the bubble? Lastly, we take a look at the Dolphins’ defense and wonder if this is the best unit on the roster?  How will the secondary look if Reshad Jones and T.J McDonald are not healthy?  And what can we expect from the linebackers, once Kiko Alonso and Raekwon McMillan return from injury.

Miami Dolphins OL exposed by the Buccaneers; Tr...
On this edition of Phinsider Daily, Matt Cannata gives a rundown of Monday's joint practice between the Miami Dolphins and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Dolphins were exposed in several areas, with the offensive line being whipped around throughout the practice. What did Brian Flores have to say about it and is this something that we can expect to continue once the regular season begins? It looks dicey, to say the least. Cannata also gives his take on the inquiries to Washington Redskins tackle Trent Williams and Houston Texans DE/LB Jadeveon Clowney. What are the details behind the trade, why are both of these trades difficult to pull off, and what does it mean for the future of the Dolphins? We can get some clues based on the actions they are taking now, even if a trade isn't completed for either player. Tune into this edition of Phinsider Daily for the latest on your Miami Dolphins!

Will Josh Rosen get a chance with the first team? Can Preston Williams continue to impress? We then turn our attention to the Jadeveon Clowney rumors.  Is Miami interested in the premier pass rusher?  Or is it all just smoke and mirrors?  How will he fit in Brian Flores’ defense? Lastly, we break down the newest depth chart.  And tell you who to keep an eye on as the second week of preseason begins. All of this and much more, on this episode of Phinsider Daily.

Miami Dolphins: Preston Williams is looking to ...
Join Matt Cannata on today's edition of Phinsider Daily as he looks at the upcoming joint practices against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What can we expect from these joint practices, how will they help the Dolphins, and what key things are we looking to get out of it? Hint: It has to do with both the offensive and defensive line. We'll also continue to keep our eye on the quarterback competition in Miami. While Josh Rosen had a great performance against the Atlanta Falcons, he has not earned the title of starting quarterback just yet (and nor should he). He'll need another week of strong practices. With the likelihood that he will be named the starter for Thursday, he'll then need to come out against a starting defense and show that he continue his momentum. At this point, it's his job to lose (even though he's not in the lead just yet). Can he take the reigns and get to where he needs to be, or will the pressure be too much for him to handle at this stage of him learning the offense? This week's practices will help figure that out, as well as the game on Thursday. For Fitzpatrick, it's a chance for him to go against his former team in a comfortable environment. He knows some of the players on defense so while the coaches and schemes may have changed, he still knows their weaknesses. This is a great opportunity for him to show that he can be the starting quarterback, and he'll get his fair chance at doing so.

On this edition of Phinsider Daily, Matt Cannata (@CannataPFN) takes a look at the Miami Dolphins opening preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday evening. What can we expect from new head coach Brian Flores in his first game as the man in charge? How about both coordinators who are also in this position for the first time. How will they handle the role of calling plays and running their respective units throughout the game? Cannata looks at various positions and what questions still remain. He circles through the quarterbacks, running backs, linebackers, and more. With just a few weeks left until Week 1, these position battles will start sorting themselves out, but others will require a hard decision. What decisions might Flores make?

Today on Phinsider Daily, Matt Cannata talks about the Miami Dolphins offense. On Sunday, several offensive coaches spoke to the media and had some revealing thoughts. Where do the running backs stand right now? Based on what we heard, it sounds like the starting role is Kalen Ballage's to lose. What does that mean for guys like Kenyan Drake and Mark Walton? It doesn't sound promising. At the wide receiver spot, what can we expect? Will it be guys zeroing in one or two positions, or will offensive coordinator Chad O'Shea take the multi-position approach? If so, what will it mean for guys like DeVante Parker, Kenny Stills, Jakeem Grant, and Albert Wilson? Cannata takes a look at that and gives his thoughts on what may lie ahead. Finally, we look at the tight ends and the offensive line group. Some revealing chatter about rookie Michael Deiter, as well as some high praise for one tight end that all but ensures him a lock to make the team.
