So the most physically enduring weekend of my life concluded with an ear infection that was supplemented by severe wax build up. The different types of pains I experienced this weekend fuckin changed my perspective on life lol.

5 minutes into the new season of Jury Duty, can already tell it’s gonna be as good as the first

HBO’s Neighbors is some of the most compelling television you’ll ever see, but it’s basically just a massive exploitation of mental illness. Not sure how to feel about it.

Thanks for the kind words in here yall. Getting better but this has probably been my worst weekend since having kids lol

Subject to change, but right now my biggest draft non negotiable…I’m not leaving the draft without Ted Hurst. 6-4, sinks his hips like a 6-footer, exceptional contested catch guy, productive every year. Would be shocked if he’s not a very good pro.

Everyone talks about the Jordan flu game but nobody talks about the Wingfield solo dad duty flu weekend

Yesterday, a Dolphins player asked me who is the greatest baseball player of all time. I said Griffey. He scoffed. I’m still sour over his reaction.

I love how when you leave a streaming service the go full “Happy Gilmore when Terri leaves him” on your inbox.

Or maybe we just take Vega at 11 then come back with Iheanachor/Miller at 30 and build the best OL in the NFL for the best running backfield in the NFL.

Bummed, man. Elite talent, better person. I get it from the business side, fits perfectly with the Broncos vertical game design (a Payton feature, not Nix). I am officially starting my campaign, however, for Omar Cooper Jr. to the Fins. Probably requires pick 30.

I just keep seeing quality reps from this cat

I don’t understand who I pissed off among the sports gods. Lifelong Mariners and Dolphins fan, the NBA and took my team, the NCAA basically booted the Cougs, I post this then Cam Young hits three of the best shots of his career and Fitz starts spraying his driver. Like what the fuck, man? Lol

This Darrell Baker tape has me intrigued. Smart, physical, athletic. 6-1, good in press, good football IQ, plays the run like the ball carrier stole his mama's purse Jumped 41.5 inch on the vert and 11-04 on the broad at his combine workout. Was CB1 last year in TEN. I bet he plays a lot this year.

Would really really really like to see Matty Fitz pull this out

Noticing a trend across a few of these Dolphins signings, which are no risk with varied levels of reward. Tutu, Tolbert, Uche, Ojabo...these guys had their breakout seasons in 2024 then lost playing time in 2025. That provides a certain type of chip that ramps up the temperature in practice.

If this were a golf swing, the commentators would be raving about how many major championships he’s gonna win

Watching Vega Ioane, even if you think the 11th pick is too rich, what that would do to establish the culture and the team you want to be…I’d have no problem with it. If you have Malik and De’Von a top OL, nobody will stop that run game. I’d bet Paul-Vega-Brew-Jonah-Austin (healthy) is a top 10 OL

Malik Willis interview is up - YouTube channel and podcast feed

Interviewed Tutu for the show today and he kept talking about doing things for the team. He brought up, unprompted, the value of going full speed on clear out routes. His impact in Los Angeles was far greater than his box score, and he can create space here for Waddle.

Find someone who loves you the way I loved Tutu Atwell coming out of college

At long last, the Malik Willis film deep dive is up (his interview will be on tomorrow’s show). 🍎 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d... ✳️ open.spotify.com/episode/5Rau...

He’s here and he’s glorious

I really like Dulcich

First play of Josh Uche I pull up. Damn near knocks Tristan Wirfs’ head off his shoulders

With Hafley from 24-25, GB played from their 4-3 base the 3rd--most in the NFL at 24.4%. The Dolphins were 20th at 9.1%. In 25 alone, the GB dropped to 11th at 17.6%, but Miami ran it 1.6% of the time in 25, that was 26th. Willie is the 3rd backer in base and a nickel replacement option for Dodson.

Some thoughts on recent Fins activity

I keep reading stuff about how grounded Malik Willis is - he didn't talk about his start against the Titans as some sort of revenge. Rather, he thanked them for giving him his start. He didn't whine about not getting time at Auburn. This is our leader. libertyflames.fanword.com/malik-willis...

I am such a doofus. I forgot the biggest part of the Friday pod… MALIK WILLIS IS JOINING ME ON THE FRIDAY SHOW

The Malik Willis pod will be tomorrow. Then, Friday, I’ll have another episode comprehensively covering where we are right now, the Dulcich move and two mock drafts: one offense heavy and another for D

A series of texts I sent in October 2021

Now, with the QB, you can start to think about how you want to shape this offense. To me, Miami has stalwart solutions at: QB, WR1, RB, LT, C, and I still think Jonah is gonna be a plus starter, so one G. The 2027 class is loaded at WR. You could drop a blue chip OL or TE in at 11 this year.

Played this round with one of our team photogs who was getting all kinds of awesome shots. And I mean damn man look at this frame!! That left heel snuck up on me but otherwise…”this is why you l̶i̶f̶t̶ ̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶ ̶w̶e̶i̶g̶h̶t̶s̶ hit all them balls.”

I still can’t believe we got Malik, dawg

New pod!! I can’t get too into the Malik breakdown yet, but I’m talking all the latest Dolphins news and what’s happened around the league; plus a Fins FA primer ✳️ open.spotify.com/episode/0lLi...

We haven't even begun to talk about how a QB with 4.4 speed does to this run game, which was pretty damn good in 2025. Backside defenders, get ready to learn zone read keeper.

I would've agreed had Willis not emerged as the player we saw in his appearances this year - he changed the landscape of the QB market, IMO. And tbh, fuck tanking. Now we get to watch a young, gritty team go through some shit with their QB and they'll come out in 2027 so much better for it.

When Tua was cratering and I realized it was curtains; I watched and wrote up Malik Willis. This is that write up

Non film watchers. I don't know how you can watch that tape and come away with anything other than we just got a prized No. 1 overall prospect who's already developed. That's what we're dealing with here. And he's got familiarity with the staff and GM. Biggest HR the Dolphins have hit since 1983.

I am so fuckin back in, man haha. Like I am floating. I think this is a top 10 QB and perhaps after a full season, closer to the top end of that range. I think the Dolphins just got the GM, HC, and QB all right.

Maliiiiiik baaaahhhhhh gaaaaarrrr!!!

Shot an 87 lol One of those rounds where the ball striking was really good but I putt like shit and wasn’t sharp with the short wedge game. That’s a reps thing though and I’m out of practice there.

I’m playing my first round tomorrow since November and have been absolutely striping it on the range…which means an 88 is incoming

The last offseason capsule is up - the entire OL What to do with Austin Jackson and the options at RT. Growth for Jonah? How good can Pat Paul be? Alllll the FA and draft prospects 🍎 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d... ✳️ open.spotify.com/episode/4vNk...

There are a few FA guards that satisfy what I'm looking at - guys that started slow and began to blossom late into their rookie contracts. Sean Rhyan Ed Ingram (too expensive) Zion Johnson (too expensive) Chris Paul Dylan Parham

Sean Rhyan makes an awful lot of sense for Miami in FA

RB big board: FA: 1. Travis Etienne (JAX) 2. Kenneth Walker (SEA) ___ 3. Rico Dowdle (CAR) 4. Tyler Algier (ATL) 5. Breece Hall (NYJ) 6. Kenneth Gainwell (PIT) 7. JK Dobbins (DEN, injuries depress value)

Working through the final position group of the offseason capsules and Jets G Alijah Vera-Tucker comes up first. This is the exact kind of player the Dolphins would've signed under Grier. Missed 41 games over the last four years, but awesome when he plays. Glad to be off that wheel.

DTF ST. Louis premier was an absolute banger

Let's unpack this further. I don't think a Jeff Hafley practice will ever look like a Mike McDaniel practice as it is, but in a year where you're probably not contending anyway, I think it's a chance to establish a standard that's worth an extra injury or two.

Tackle Big Board: FA: 1. Rahseed Walker (GB) 2. Braden Smith (IND) ___ 3. Jonah Williams (ARI) ___ 4. Larry Borom (MIA) 5. Josh Jones (SEA) ___ 5. Braxton Jones (CH) At his pricepoint, Borom and Josh Jones are the only ones here that interests me in the slightest.
