Malik Willis is headed to injured reserve, Zach Sieler is out, and the Miami Dolphins' offensive line is battered and bruised. Now, with Miami sitting at 1-7, it's Kyle McCord time! But can the young quarterback provide the spark this struggling Dolphins offense desperately needs? O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chris Perkins, Mike Oliva, and The Legendary Sevach are back for another spirited edition of Fish Tank LIVE, presented by Van Horn Law Group, breaking down the Dolphins' mounting injuries, their quarterback situation, and a critical matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. With Malik Willis sidelined for at least four games and potentially facing surgery, the crew debates whether Miami should have protected its starting quarterback sooner. Did Jeff Hafley and the coaching staff allow an injured Willis to stay on the field too long? Now the spotlight shifts to Kyle McCord. Mike Oliva offers firsthand insight into McCord's record-setting season at Syracuse, including his impressive arm talent, leadership, and struggles under pressure. Juice shares an interesting comparison to former Dolphins quarterback Jay Fiedler, while Perk examines whether Miami's coaching staff can tailor the offense to McCord's strengths. But with Aaron Brewer in concussion protocol, an inconsistent offensive line, and receivers struggling to create separation, is McCord being set up for success—or thrown to the wolves? The conversation also heats up over several major Dolphins storylines: Malik Willis' uncertain future: How serious is his injury, and could his season be over?Zach Sieler's remarkable toughness: What does it say about the veteran defensive lineman that he played nearly an entire game with a torn biceps?The Kyle McCord experiment: Can Miami's new starting quarterback succeed where Willis struggled?Winning vs. draft position: Should the Dolphins prioritize victories or improve their chances of landing a top pick in the NFL Draft? Juice has some VERY strong feelings about that debate!A Hard Rock Stadium takeover: After Detroit Lions fans seemingly overwhelmed the home crowd, Mike Oliva delivers a passionate critique of Dolphins season-ticket price increases, fan treatment, and the growing frustration among Miami's most loyal supporters. Plus, in "I Tried to Tell Y'all," Juice delivers a heartfelt Veterans Day tribute honoring the men and women who serve our country, including members of the Dolphins family with military connections. THE BIG QUESTION: Is Kyle McCord the fresh start Miami's offense needs, or will the same problems continue regardless of who's playing quarterback? Let us know in the comments! Are you excited to see McCord get his opportunity? And should the Dolphins be playing to win every game, regardless of draft position?

Is Malik Willis getting a free pass for the Miami Dolphins' offensive struggles, or are fans giving up on him too soon? With the Dolphins sitting at 1-7, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, and Mike Oliva reunite for another spirited Fish Tank × DolphinsTalk crossover, and the biggest question facing Miami takes center stage: Is Malik Willis really the quarterback of the future? Mike believes the Dolphins may already have their answer. Willis could serve as a bridge quarterback, but Miami needs to start seriously considering its next franchise QB. Juice isn't ready to give up on Willis, but he's increasingly concerned about the young quarterback's decision-making, reluctance to check down, and inability to consistently elevate the offense. And with Willis battling a groin injury, Juice makes a surprising suggestion: Sit him down and give Kyle McCord a chance against Indianapolis! Seth pushes back, arguing that evaluating Willis after just eight games in a rebuilding season—behind an inconsistent offensive line and with inexperienced receivers—is premature. Is Miami being patient with its quarterback, or making excuses for him? The guys also tackle several other major Dolphins storylines: Zach Sieler's season-ending injury: After playing nearly an entire game against Detroit with a torn biceps, has the veteran defensive lineman played his final game in Miami? The quarterback dilemma: Should Miami use a premium draft pick on a quarterback, or continue building around Willis while developing a young prospect? The 2027 NFL Draft: Is there really a quarterback worth taking near the top of the first round? The guys debate the risks of reaching for an unproven prospect. The offensive line: How much blame should Miami's struggling protection shoulder for Willis' inconsistent performances? The Dolphins' future: With the trade deadline arriving and another disappointing season unfolding, what should Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan prioritize? Plus, Mike teases another rant about opposing fans taking over Hard Rock Stadium! THE BIG QUESTION: Are Dolphins fans being too hard on Malik Willis, or have we already seen enough to know he's not the long-term answer? Let us know in the comments!

The Miami Dolphins are 1-6 through seven games—exactly where they were a year ago. So why does this season feel so different? O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit are joined by Mike Oliva and special guest Eric Smith (@OLCoachSmith63) for a spirited edition of Fish Tank LIVE that examines whether Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan are actually building something special in Miami, despite the team's disappointing record. The conversation begins in the trenches, where Coach Smith delivers an eye-opening breakdown of rookie offensive lineman Cadyn Proctor. Just how important is Proctor to the Dolphins' offense? Did his absence against the New England Patriots expose bigger problems along Miami's offensive line? And should the Dolphins consider moving their talented first-round pick to right tackle next season, or leave him at left guard, where he's already showing All-Pro potential? The guys also look ahead to Miami's matchup with Dan Campbell and the Detroit Lions. Can the Dolphins match Detroit's physicality for four quarters, or will the mistakes that cost them against New England continue to haunt this young team? Then comes the big debate: The Dolphins were 1-6 last season, too. But are they actually in a better position today? Juice and Mike explain why accountability, leadership, an impressive rookie class, and a changing locker-room culture have them feeling far more optimistic about Miami's future. And what about the quarterback position? With speculation swirling about Lamar Jackson's future in Baltimore, the crew debates whether the Dolphins should even consider pursuing the two-time NFL MVP—or stay committed to developing Malik Willis and building through the draft. Plus, in "I Tried to Tell Y'all," Juice delivers a message about voting, character, and coming together, while Mike challenges Dolphins fans to remember their preseason expectations before unleashing an epic rant defending the legendary 1972 Miami Dolphins against criticism from NFL Network's Kyle Brandt! The record hasn't changed. But has everything else? JOIN THE CONVERSATION: Are you more optimistic about the Dolphins at 1-6 this season than you were a year ago?

Did Ollie Gordon II's emotions cost the Miami Dolphins a chance to beat the New England Patriots? Or are the Dolphins' defensive struggles the REAL reason Miami let another winnable game slip away? On the latest Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and DolphinsTalk's Mike Oliva break down Miami's frustrating loss to New England, and things get HEATED! After taking a 13-3 lead into halftime, the Dolphins appeared poised to win their second straight game. But 21 unanswered points by the Patriots turned a promising afternoon into another disappointing defeat, dropping Miami to 1-6. The turning point? Seth points to Ollie Gordon's costly unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, which transformed a manageable third-and-five into third-and-20 and effectively killed a critical offensive possession. But Juice isn't buying the idea that one penalty should define the game, especially when Miami's defense couldn't stop Drake Maye and the Patriots in the second half. The debate gets intense as O.J. and Seth go back and forth about momentum, accountability, and whether Gordon's fiery personality is becoming a liability for the Dolphins. The guys also discuss: Malik Willis' leadership: How the Dolphins quarterback handled his heated sideline exchange with Gordon.Miami's young receivers: Why O.J. believes the Dolphins need more playmakers who can make difficult catches.Offensive confusion: Are Bobby Slowik's schemes asking too much of Miami's inexperienced players?Kadyn Proctor's impact: Why his absence exposed significant weaknesses along the offensive line.The bigger picture: Are the Dolphins actually improving despite their 1-6 record?Plus, Juice shares stories about playing alongside fiery teammates like Brian Cox and recalls a memorable miscommunication with Dan Marino that wasn't quite what it appeared to be. Was Ollie Gordon's penalty the turning point, or is Miami's defense getting a pass? Tell us who you agree with: Juice or Seth! Edited by Sevach Melton.

The Miami Dolphins finally have their first win of the season! But was their victory over the hated New York Jets a sign of things to come, or are the Fins just playing dress up? It's Halloween on Fish Tank LIVE, and O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chris Perkins, Mike Oliva, Chad Van Horn, and The Legendary Sevach are getting into the spirit with outrageous costumes, hilarious impersonations, and a little football talk along the way! The crew breaks down Miami's encouraging performance against the Jets, including Malik Willis' improved decision-making, the emergence of Caleb Douglas, and an increasingly impressive group of young players. Has Jeff Hafley's team finally found its identity? And can the Dolphins build on their momentum against Mike Vrabel and the New England Patriots? The guys also discuss Kadyn Proctor's injury, Zach Sieler's uncertain future ahead of the NFL trade deadline, and whether Miami's rookie class is proving its critics wrong. In the Van Horn Law Group Legal Zone, Chad examines the NFL's controversial disability benefits settlement and its implications for former players. Plus, Juice shares a passionate story about a three-year-old soccer player caught in an unfortunate youth sports controversy, while Sevach celebrates the extraordinary loyalty of Dolphins fans around the world. And, of course, there's the Halloween Costume Contest! From Evil Jimmy Johnson and Squid Game's Player 286 to O.J.'s unforgettable impersonation of De'Jon Love, the Fish Tank LIVE crew delivers plenty of laughs. The Dolphins are 1-5, but there's a growing sense that something is changing in Miami. Are the Fins finally becoming the real deal, or is this just another Halloween disguise?

VICTORY MONDAY! The Miami Dolphins are finally in the win column, and there's no better way to celebrate than beating the New York Jets! After five consecutive losses to open the season, the Dolphins delivered a 28-25 victory over their AFC East rivals, giving Jeff Hafley his first win as Miami's head coach. And while nobody is planning a playoff parade, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and DolphinsTalk's Mike Oliva believe there are legitimate reasons to be encouraged by what they saw. Malik Willis looked like a different quarterback. After weeks of criticism, Willis delivered his most complete performance of the season, making quicker decisions, taking what the defense gave him and using his legs to create opportunities. Juice explains why his "needy, not greedy" philosophy may be exactly what Willis and Bobby Slowik's offense need moving forward. Meanwhile, Ollie Gordon II continues to emerge as a potential cornerstone of Miami's rebuild. With two 100-yard performances in his last three games, Gordon is establishing himself as a physical, downhill runner who could eventually form a formidable one-two punch with De'Von Achane. The guys also discuss Caleb Douglas and Greg Dulcich becoming reliable targets for Willis, an offensive line beginning to establish its identity, an impressive defensive goal-line stand, and the significant improvement in Miami's special teams play. And with some Dolphins fans already worrying that victories could hurt Miami's draft position, the crew pushes back on the notion that this team is intentionally tanking. As Seth explains, "It was never a tank. It was always a purge." The Dolphins are 1-5, but for the first time this season, they're coming off a win. Is this the beginning of something positive, or simply one enjoyable Victory Monday? Dive in with O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and Mike Oliva!

It's Jets Week, and the Miami Dolphins are still searching for their first win of the season. If there's ever a time to beat the New York Jets, this is it! O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit are joined by Mike Oliva, Chad Van Horn, and The Legendary Sevach to preview Miami's showdown with its longtime AFC East rival. Can Jeff Hafley's Dolphins capitalize on a struggling Jets team, or will the same mistakes that have plagued Miami through five games continue to haunt them? The crew breaks down what must change coming out of the bye week, including Malik Willis' decision-making, Miami's disastrous special teams play, and the potential return of Caleb Douglas, who could provide a much-needed deep threat for the offense. Plus, Juice shares an unforgettable story about getting absolutely embarrassed by Jets linebacker Mo Lewis as the guys reveal their most hated Jets of all time. In the Van Horn Law Group Legal Zone, Chad examines the serious questions surrounding Jalen Hurts' reported blood clots and the responsibility NFL teams have to protect their players. And in an explosive edition of "I Tried to Tell Y'all," Mike Oliva unloads on Dolphins ownership over plans to raise season-ticket prices in 2027 despite the team's winless start and declining attendance. Is Stephen Ross taking the loyalty of Dolphins fans for granted? Meanwhile, Juice explains why he's not giving up on Hafley's rebuild and why Miami's promising young players still offer reason for hope. The Dolphins need a win. The fans deserve better. And there's no opponent they'd rather beat than the stinkin' Jets! Edited by Sevach Melton. Theme song created and performed by The Honorable SoLo D.

The Miami Dolphins may have enjoyed a bye week, but their special teams problems aren't going away. After five games of costly penalties, blown coverages and disastrous returns, something has to change. And legendary Dolphins special teams coach Mike Westhoff has some ideas about how to fix it. On the latest Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and DolphinsTalk's Mike Oliva break down Miami's special teams struggles and react to Westhoff's revealing conversation with longtime Dolphins columnist Dave Hyde. Juice shares firsthand stories from playing for Westhoff, including the notoriously intense team meetings, the coach's extraordinary attention to detail, and how Westhoff helped convince the Dolphins to draft him. He even recalls asking his former coach for a few special teams plays to help a high school team, only to receive an 80-page game plan! The guys examine why Miami continues to lose the field-position battle, whether the problems stem from personnel, coaching or scheme, and why a team already struggling to compete simply cannot afford to keep giving opponents such significant advantages. Should Jeff Hafley consider making a change at special teams coordinator? Can Miami adapt to the NFL's evolving kickoff rules? And what can the Dolphins learn from Westhoff's approach to creating mismatches rather than simply reacting to opponents? Plus, the crew looks ahead to Jets Week, discusses why Miami's defense deserves some credit despite the 0-5 record, and shares details about the launch of Fish Tank: The Deep End on Patreon. The Dolphins don't need their special teams to win games for them. They just need them to stop losing games. Dive in with O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and Mike Oliva! Edited by Sevach Melton.

The Miami Dolphins are 0-5. But are they actually better than their record suggests? As the Dolphins enter their much-needed bye week, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chad Van Horn, Chris Perkins, Mike Oliva, and The Legendary Sevach examine whether Jeff Hafley's young team is showing legitimate signs of progress—or simply finding new ways to lose. Chris Perkins makes a surprising prediction: Miami can win at least five of its final 12 games. But what needs to change for that to happen? The crew debates whether Malik Willis is taking too much blame for Miami's offensive struggles, why the coaching staff must eliminate costly mistakes, and how the Dolphins can finally generate more pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Despite the disappointing start, there's reason for optimism. From Caden Proctor and Jacob Rodriguez to Chris Johnson and the rest of Miami's promising rookie class, the guys discuss why the foundation of the rebuild may be stronger than the standings suggest. Plus, the crew examines the controversial Brian Flores scouting memo and the struggles of former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel with the Los Angeles Chargers. In the Van Horn Law Group Legal Zone, Chad breaks down the legal showdown between Hard Rock Bet and DraftKings. And because it's officially Bye, Bye, Bye Week, *NSYNC founding member Chris Kirkpatrick delivers a surprise message to Juice and the Fish Tank LIVE crew—with a hilarious guarantee about Miami's chances of avoiding another loss! Five games down. Twelve to go. Is there a reason for Dolphins fans to believe? Edited by Sevach Melton. Theme song created and performed by The Honorable SoLo D.

The Miami Dolphins are 0-5, Malik Willis is coming off his most disappointing performance of the season, and Dolphins fans are growing increasingly frustrated. But here's the reality: Malik Willis isn't going anywhere. On this week's Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and DolphinsTalk's Mike Oliva take an honest look at Miami's struggling quarterback, the growing concerns surrounding his decision-making, and why Jeff Hafley and the Dolphins appear committed to giving Willis every opportunity to prove he can be their quarterback of the future. After five games, Willis has struggled with accuracy, missed open receivers and repeatedly passed up shorter completions in pursuit of big plays. As Juice explains, sometimes the smartest play isn't the spectacular one. It's about being "needy, not greedy" and keeping the chains moving. The guys debate whether Willis is pressing too hard to prove himself, how Bobby Slowik can help put him in better situations, and whether the upcoming bye week could provide the reset Miami's offense desperately needs. Plus, Mike explains why Willis's contract shouldn't concern Dolphins fans nearly as much as his performance, why turning to rookie Kyle McCord isn't the answer right now, and why the 2027 NFL Draft may not offer the quarterback solution some fans are hoping for. And despite the Dolphins' 0-5 record, there ARE reasons for optimism. The guys highlight the development of young players like Ollie Gordon II, Jacob Rodriguez, Kadyn Proctor and Chris Johnson, and discuss why Miami may already be building the foundation for a much brighter future. They also tackle the importance of continuity in Bobby Slowik's offense, Miami's ongoing special teams problems, and a newly surfaced report concerning former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores. Five games down. Twelve to go. Malik Willis is still the Dolphins' quarterback. The question is whether he can become the quarterback Miami needs him to be. 🐬 Dolphins fans, what do YOU think? Should Miami stick with Malik Willis through the growing pains, or have you already seen enough?

The Miami Dolphins are 0-4, and Malik Willis is taking plenty of heat from Dolphins fans. But is the quarterback really the biggest problem in Miami? On this week’s Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and Mike Oliva tackle the growing debate surrounding Willis and whether four games—with a young receiving corps, an inconsistent offensive line and now no De’Von Achane—is nearly enough to determine if he can become Miami’s quarterback of the future. Nobody is saying Willis has been good enough. But the guys push back on the idea that the Dolphins have already seen enough to move on. They break down the plays that don’t necessarily show up in his stat line, including the spectacular would-be touchdown to Chris Bell, and discuss what Willis has shown with his mobility and ability to escape pressure. As Juice puts it, Willis still has to prove he’s “the guy”—but he deserves the opportunity to do it. The conversation also turns to the 2027 NFL Draft and why assuming Miami can simply replace Willis with a first-round quarterback may not be nearly as simple as some fans believe. Plus, what could Willis look like next season with more weapons, a healthier roster and Miami finally having resources to continue rebuilding around him? And there ARE reasons for optimism despite the 0-4 record. Ollie Gordon II is making the most of his opportunity and could form a dangerous one-two punch with Achane in the future, while young players on Jeff Hafley’s defense are beginning to show real signs of development. Four games. Four losses. But Miami’s first four opponents are a combined 15-1, and this was always supposed to be a developmental season. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

With De’Von Achane sidelined, it’s time for the Miami Dolphins’ offensive line to take over. O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chris Perkins, Mike Oliva, Chad Van Horn and The Legendary Sevach break down what Miami’s offense needs to do without its biggest playmaker as the Dolphins prepare for a difficult road matchup against the Minnesota Vikings and former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores. Perk explains why the offensive line—with Aaron Brewer, Patrick Paul, Kadyn Proctor and company—may now be the most important unit on the offense. Miami still wants to establish the run, but doing it against Flores’ aggressive, blitz-heavy defense will put the offensive line’s communication and development to the test while also taking pressure off Malik Willis. The crew also dives into the Brian Flores revenge-game storyline and what his history in Miami could mean for Sunday’s matchup. Plus, Juice explains why Miami’s young receivers will play a critical role in recognizing blitzes and giving Willis answers when Minnesota brings pressure. Later, Brian Miller of Phin Phanatic joins the Tank to defend his list of the 25 most beloved Dolphins of all time. Dan Marino or Larry Csonka at No. 1? Where should Ricky Williams rank? And is O.J. McDuffie at No. 12 way too low? Plus, the Van Horn Law Group Legal Zone tackles the NFL’s nearly $15,000 fine for Kyle Juszczyk’s controversial celebration, and “I Tried to Tell Y’all” gets serious as Juice shares his personal experience with concussions during his NFL career.

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.
