Phinsider Radio: The Miami Dolphins are 3-0 to ...
We are now three weeks into the season and the Miami Dolphins are still perfect. Even more impressive, is the two game lead the team has on the rest of the AFC East. On this week’s episode, MC$$$, Sutton, and Houtz break down the five plays that influenced Sunday’s game, and ultimately led to a Miami Dolphins’ victory over the Oakland Raiders. Here are some of the things we discuss in this week’s episode:The Dolphins inability to stop Jordy Nelson in Reshad Jones' absence. Miami’s 4th down stop at the goal line early in the game and how Vincent Taylor and Davon Godchaux have helped transition the run defense post-Ndamukong Suh. Xavien Howard currently leads the NFL in interceptions, and completely erased Amari Cooper on Sunday. Is he a top-5 CB in the NFL? Is he the best shutdown corner since the Patrick Surtain/Sam Madison days? We discuss Albert Wilson and how he’s slowly becoming a star in Miami. Was his TD pass to Jakeem Grant the greatest trick play since the Wildcat was unleashed back in 2008? Is Albert Wilson the best back-up QB on the roster? Lastly we discuss the Albert Wilson 74-yard catch and run that put a fork in Oakland. Did Albert Wilson and Jakeem Grant “just become best friends” as they high-fived on the way to the end zone? The Dolphins are now a perfect 3-0 as they look ahead to their matchup in Foxboro. But first, we need to recap the game against the Raiders. Learn more about your ad choices.

Phinsider Radio: Previewing the upcoming game b...
The Miami Dolphins come back to Hard Rock Stadium equipped with an AFC East divisional road game in their pocket and a 2-0 record. The Dolphins must resist the urge to get comfortable and look forward to a Week 4 matchup with the New England Patriots: the 0-2 Oakland Raiders are at their door step. Despite the perceived caricature of the Oakland Raiders, they hung with the Los Angeles Rams for 3 quarters and took the Denver Broncos down to the wire. This is the National Football League, ladies and gentleman. This is a league based on parity and the Dolphins should only expect to be in another scrap this Sunday. Let’s focus on the here-and-now and decipher just how the Dolphins favor against the Raiders on both sides of the ball, and we’ll even give the special teams some props. Matthew Cannata, Josh Houtz, and Aaron Sutton bring all the information to you. Tune in and we’ll give you the keys to victory. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Miami Dolphins are fresh off a bizarro world victory over the Tennessee Titans in the longest game in NFL history.

Houtz, MC$, and myself will break down both sides of the ball and key match-ups to look for. Sam Darnold’s first professional pass might get brought up somehow! What do you think the game plan is going into Sunday for the Dolphins? 2-0? We’ll have to take care of a division rival on the road. Let’s get it done!

Phinsider Radio: Talking fantasy w/ Matt Harmon...
This week on Phinsider Radio, we are joined by Matt Harmon of Yahoo Fantasy Football. Harmon discusses his transition from the NFL Network to Yahoo, talks about which Dolphins players to watch out for this fantasy season, talks the tight end position and how tough it is in fantasy, and gives us his a player who he thinks will bust and one who he thinks will have a breakout season. Whether you’re a casual or die-hard fantasy football player, this is one interview you don’t want to miss. After the interview, we take you around the NFL and lead into a conversation about Cleveland Browns Head Coach Hue Jackson. We saw him on Hard Knocks argue with his coaches about players sitting on the sideline. We saw his quotes this past week that made many people scratch their head. Is Jackson in over his head and is he making the right decision to start Tyrod Taylor? We dive into those details and give our thoughts. One of the biggest questions this past week has been about DeVante Parker. Is it time for the Miami Dolphins to move on from him or should they continue to try to find his potential? All of us disagree on which direction to take. Tune in to hear our thoughts and leave yours below. Finally, we recap the week’s events and preview this week’s game against the Carolina Panthers. Who will we be watching and what players do we think will see an increased role? It’s preseason, so it’s hard to give a true evaluation, but there are things we can take away from each practice and game. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Football. Is. Back. And with that, we are kicking off another football season with Phinsider Radio and we have a great show for you to get you hyped up for training camp! The Dolphins will report on Wednesday morning and will take the field on Thursday so we’re going to give you all the information you need to know heading in. But first, we take some time to remember former Miami Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano and the impact he had not only the Dolphins organization, but to hundreds of players, coaches and staff throughout the league. To help us do that, we welcomed Andy Cohen, columnist for the Miami Dolphins. He reflects on his memories with Sparano and takes us behind the scenes and gives us a peek to what Sparano was like away from the camera and with his football family. While there aren't many news and rumors floating around, we recap our interview with Matty Infante last week and use the scoops he gave us to transition into the position battles heading into training camp. Will Cordrea Tankersley keep the starting job or will Tony Lippett come in and steal it? Infante told us that the coaches are trying to keep expectations low for Mike Gesicki, but what does that mean for the others in the room? We also dive into other important position battles that Infante alluded to during his interview last week. Our fantasy football segment debuts this week and we give you advice on how to win your draft. Which method is best? There is certainly no wrong way, but we feel our methods will increase your chances of success. To end the show, we tell you what we are looking for as the Dolphins open training camp. Is it really about what side of the ball is better than the other or is it more about development and getting the players on the same page? .

How does one of Dan Marino’s favorite targets and the godfather of the Phinsider sound for the first episode of the Phinsider Radio re-launch? Phinsider Radio welcomed the guys from the Fish Tank, OJ McDuffie and Seth Levit. OJ McDuffie still has his name littered throughout the Miami Dolphins record books while Seth worked 8 years in the public relations department before jumping over to be the Executive Director of the Jason Taylor Foundation. We tried to squeeze every drop of knowledge out of them we possibly could. Might want to crack a beer for this one, they have some good stories. We interviewed Matty Infante on some of the nuggets he’s hearing as we get into the 2018 Training Camp: he gives us the pulse on some interesting players like Mike Gesicki, Cordrea Tankersley, Stephone Anthony, and Leonte Carroo. Lastly, we tackle the convoluted topic of the Miami Dolphins being in the news regarding the possible discipline of players kneeling during the anthem, and guaranteed vs. non-guaranteed contracts in professional sports and weigh in on where the NFL stands.

This week on Phinsider Radio, MC$, Surton the Creepy Soccer Dad and Houtz M.D. talk about a variety of topics as we head into one of the most boring parts of the year – the lull between mini-camps/OTAs and training camp. We kick things off with Jarvis Landry and his latest comments about not having a relationship with Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill. What’s gotten into Landry and was this festering for years or is it something new? Switching gears to actual Dolphins football, we talk about several looming position battles – cornerback, wide receiver, backup quarterback, linebacker and more. Each of us talk about that one player who we are excited to see the most throughout training camp, including Minkah Fitzpatrick, Raekwon McMillan and yes, Ryan Tannehill. Is he finally ready to take the next step in terms of leadership and making this his team?

This week on Phinsider Radio, former Miami Dolphins WR Greg Camarillo joins us. We all remember where we were on December 16, 2007 when Camarillo caught a 64-yard touchdown pass from Cleo Lemon in overtime against the Baltimore Ravens, clinching the Miami Dolphins' first and only win of the 2007 NFL season. Hear his take on the story and some behind-the-scenes scoop surrounding that dreadful season. We also discuss the implications of the Supreme Court’s landmark gambling decision this past week, which allows states to decide whether or not sports gambling is legal. It’s opened up a lot of possibilities, including potential to bet in real time at home or at the stadium. What does this mean for the future of the sport? We debate. Towards the end of the show, we touch a bit on the rookies and their introduction to the team this past week. Since it’s the offseason, we also mix in some twisted humor and conversation. We have to keep you entertained somehow, so we let the conversation flow and just went with wherever it took us.

This week on Phinsider Radio, we talked to Miami Dolphins seventh round draft pick Quentin Poling, linebacker from Ohio University. Poling tells us what it was like on draft weekend waiting for his name to be called. What was it like for him to get a call from the Dolphins? How surprised was he to be picked from the Dolphins? How is he going to approach the NFL playbook compared to the college playbook? What are the Dolphins asking him to study and prepare for this coming season? What was the weirdest question he was asked during the draft process? And finally, what’s the story behind him kissing a Dolphin on his Twitter page?   We also discuss the leak from the Dolphins war room, where Stephen Ross was apparently upset that the Dolphins didn’t trade down from 11 to get more picks. We tell you everything we know about the situation – it’s not as bad as some are making it out to be as it appears to be a game of telephone, but there is something to be worried about. We give the inside information on this and what likely happened in the war room and leading up to the NFL Draft. Following up on that, was Minkah Fitzpatrick the right pick or would the Dolphins have had a better draft if they went a different route? We dive into that discussion. To wrap up the show, we talk about the appearance of Houtz and Sutton on the 4th and inches podcast, whether or not drinking a beer in the shower is weird, and answer your questions from the Phinsider mailbag.   We’re getting closer to the NFL season – join us as we discuss the latest news around the Miami Dolphins.

We have an all-star lineup for you this week as we get ready for the NFL Draft. Tony Pauline (@TonyPauline) gives us the latest rumors regarding the first round of the NFL Draft, including what he’s hearing about Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield and Josh Rosen. Where will Mayfield end up? Most likely in the AFC East, but will it be with the Dolphins? If it’s not Mayfield or even Rosen for Miami, what mid-round guy makes sense for Miami? Pauline answers that question and also gives insight as to what tight ends the Dolphins may be looking at. Arif Hasan (@ArifHasanNFL) joins us to talk about his consensus big board and how we can look at the other mock drafts and big boards leading into the draft. He uses that data to talk to us about several players who may be a good fit for the Miami Dolphins. He also speaks about several players who may be slipping under the radar. Derrik Klassen (@QBKlass) also joined us to talk about the QBs in the upcoming NFL Draft. Does he think Miami can afford to draft a QB in the first round? His answer deals with financials, but he also gives good insight on Ryan Tannehill. But, he does compare him to another quarterback who has had a string of bad luck. If the Dolphins don’t go quarterback in round one, who are some other guys they can pick up in the middle rounds?  The interview with Ben Allbright is a bombshell and it’s one you want to get to as soon as possible. He drops a name for the Dolphins at 11 that really no one is talking about. If this is in fact the pick for Miami at 11, I am sure that the Dolphins fan base will erupt in anger. Who is it? Tune in to find out. Hint: It starts right around the 49 minute mark. To end the show, we answer your questions from Twitter and give you our best/worst possible selections for Miami in the first round.

The NFL Draft is just under a week away and we’re here on Phinsider Radio to help you sort through all the smoke as we bring you the latest information from Davie regarding what the Miami Dolphins are currently thinking as we approach Thursday evening. To help us sort that out, we were joined by Dan Kadar, NFL Draft Editor for SB Nation. What is he hearing about the Dolphins and who does he think they’ll end up with in the first round? Who are also some other guys the Dolphins can look at in the later rounds? Before all the draft talk though, MC$, Surton the Creepy Soccer Dad and RosenHoutz dive into the Dolphins schedule for the upcoming season and also discus the uniform tweaks. What stands out most about the schedule? Hint: It doesn’t favor Miami. The Phinsider Radio Crew also talks about their mid-round guys who they like best and who might the sleeper of the draft be. With all the talk about the first and second round, we thought we’d give you some insight as to what to look for when we’re on day 2 and 3 of the draft – the day where most teams find value and build their depth, respectively.

This week on Phinsider Radio, we are joined by Kyle Crabbs of NDT Scouting. He breaks down the latest rumors of the NFL Draft, including his likely landing spot for Baker Mayfield. Hint: It’s in the top five. He also gives us an update on who the teams in the top ten are looking at. In our interview with Crabbs, he touches on what he thinks the Miami Dolphins will do in round one and the ensuing rounds. Will Roquan Smith or Tremaine Edmunds be taken by San Francisco due to the latest news about Reuben Foster? Will Miami have someone there that fans will be happy with? Who does he think the best fit is for Miami? What does he think about this year’s tight end class? He answers all of these questions and more. Following the interview with Crabbs, we lay out the Miami Dolphins draft plans as of this week. Will they target a quarterback in round one or do they have their sights set on another position? I can tell you they have three positions in mind for round one – tune in to find out which ones and what players they may be targeting. We also tell you what we’ve been hearing in the other rounds of the draft and lay out the ideal Dolphins draft plan, according to those close to the situation. We discuss the mega contract that Jarvis Landry received from Cleveland Browns. There’s not a lot of people out there saying the Dolphins should’ve paid him so we dive into other matters regarding the contract. Was it warranted for a guy who may not be a game changer?

After discussing the linebacker and tight end positions over the past two weeks, the Phinsider Radio Crew is back to talk about prospects in the secondary. Like we have been doing with the other position groups, we take a look at guys in the first round and then more in the middle rounds. We dive into analysis for Minkah Fitzpatrick, DErwin James and Mike Hughes. While Hughes would be more of a second round pick, he’s still in the discussion as someone who can be a dynamite player for the Miami Dolphins. Who is the best choice…and is one of them the apple of the Miami Dolphins’ eye? Tune in to find out. For the middle rounds, we look at Ronnie Harrison, Jeremy Reaves and Isaiah Oliver. Which one of these players can fill the hybrid role that Miami is looking for? We let you know who Miami should draft if they miss out on any of the top players in the secondary. We also talk for a short while about the latest news around the NFL. This includes the Rams and their continued assembly of the ‘Dream Team,’ the Patriots stockpiling draft picks, the Tennessee Titans uniforms and more.

Phinsider Radio - Breaking down the tight end p...
This week on Phinsider Radio, the crew breaks down a few of the tight end prospects in the upcoming draft. It’s no secret the Miami Dolphins need a tight end so who might be a good target for them? We take our top three tight ends on the board – Dallas Goedert from South Dakora State, Mark Andrews from Oklahoma and Hayden Hurst from South Carolina – and break down the pros and cons with each of them. Which one of them may be the right fit for the Dolphins? History shows that not a lot of tight ends are drafted in the first round so should the Dolphins take a tight end with their second-round pick? They’ll need to if they want one of these three guys. If they don’t use a second-round pick on one of these guys, would they consider using a third or a fourth? If they do, we rank our next three guys on the board – Mike Gesicki from Penn State, Troy Fumagali from Wisconsin and Chris Herndon from the University of Miami. Do any of these guys make sense for Miami and are they the type of players that Adam Gase might be looking for in his offense? We analyze all of this with the understanding that tight ends usually need at least half a season to get into a rhythm as they transition from college to the NFL. With quarterback Ryan Tannehill needing all the weapons he can get as he returns, picking the right tight end is going to be essential.

Phinsider Radio: Looking at linebacker options ...
This week on Phinsider Radio, we dive into the linebacker group for the upcoming draft. On the surface, it appears the Miami Dolphins are going to take a hard look at this position with a very high probability that they’ll draft one in the first round. Who though, should they pull the trigger on? Is it Tremaine Edmunds from Virginia Tech? At 19-years-old, he’s raw, has a ton of potential and is considered by many the best linebacker in this draft. However, he’s quite tall for a prototypical linebacker and some are projecting him to play on the defensive line in the NFL. What does MC$, Sutton and Houtz think of this? If it’s not Edmunds, is it Roquan Smith, who is the opposite of Edmunds in terms of height? He’s instinctive, polished and is a three-down linebacker from day one. Who on Phinsider Radio prefers him over Edmunds? If not Edmunds and Smith, is it Leighton Vander Esch? He’s as disciplined as they come in terms of knowing exactly what to do on the football field, but he lacks the athleticism that Edmunds and Smith possess. Additionally, he was only a full-time starter for one year. Should the Dolphins pass on Edmunds and Smith, trade down a few spots, and pick Vander Esch? In addition to the big three, we also talk about a few other middle round prospects who may be able to come in and make an impact. This includes Shaquem Griffin, who continues to defy all odds and prove everyone wrong.

Phinsider Radio - The mass exodus of players, n...
This week on Phinsider Radio, we kick things off talking about the mass exodus of talent from the Miami Dolphins. Since the last time we recorded the show a little more than a week ago, the Miami Dolphins have moved on from Jarvis Landry, Ndamukong Suh, Mike Pouncey, Lawrence Timmons and Julius Thomas. While Timmons and Thomas were foregone conclusions and while Landry was just about there, none of us thought it would come down to Suh and Pouncey being released (despite the rumors). However, life comes at you fast in the NFL. Why did the Dolphins move on from these players and are they crazy for doing so? We give you our best theory. We also talk about the newest additions to the Dolphins - Albert Wilson, Danny Amendola, Joshua Sitton and Daniel Kilgore. How will they fit in with this team and will they be able to make an impact? Does the new look WR corp scare anyone or should we just take a wait and see approach? We also discuss what else the Dolphins may need to do in free agency and the draft to get to where they need to be. Finally, we talk about the re-structured contracts for Reshad Jones and Ryan Tannehill. While Jones is seen as someone who will be around the team for years to come, Tannehill is a different story. With all the smoke about drafting a quarterback early this coming draft, how long is Miami really committed to Tannehill? Is it one or two years? We answer that question for you and debate how the Dolphins should handle this potentially fragile situation.
