It’s early March and the Dolphins are still the second worst over the cap team. There’s a lot of tap dancing to be done with money, players, and contracts in the next few days. Scott and Alex talk about Tyreek Hill and his “shenanigans”. We differ on what should be done, if anything. We review Chris Grier’s drafts and rate them. We aren’t ready to share what we want in terms of players at picks yet, but we have an overall philosophy which rarely aligns with the Dolphins GM. Are the Dolphins in trouble? Listen in and find out.

Welcome to the final episode of Two Old Dolfans Season 6. Thank you for listening this year! We had the answers for success and identified the issues we saw with the team early. If you listened, you know what they are, and saw them come to fruition. This conversation is NOT “we had it first” but rather, an aggregation of what went right, what went wrong, who is responsible for fixing the problems, and what we suggest the solutions are. We talk a lot about McDaniel. We talks about Grier. We talk about other coaches. We talk about the cap. We talk about Players we’d like to see back, restructured, or gone. We talk about positions of need and what the Dolphins should do with their first picks. Listen in for the full scoop.

Our Dolphins fell short in the AFC East “championship game” with the Bills on the final game of the regular season, at home, in front of a half-hostile crowd. This podcast goes deep into what happened and suggests who owns the blame for the loss, if you want to cast aspersions. It might not be who you think it is. It’s a long episode, but full of thought and passion. Injuries? Of course, but… Scott and Alex ague about a few things, including opinions about our HC. Now that the Dolphins have crapped away a 3 game lead in the east, they have to go to Kansas City for a wild card game. Do they have a chance? Scott has a fun pick for this week’s MVP. Both have a very strongly worded message for the NFL. This is a clean episode up until the last minute. If you are sensitive to foul language, the fist hour is good, and the last minute is laced with an explicative, matching McDaniel’s frequent verbiage, you might say, but not at him.

The Miami Dolphins defeated the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas Eve in a nailbiter on the foot of Jason Sanders. Then, the Dolphins travelled to Baltimore on New Years Eve. To say it wasn’t pretty would be an understatement. Before Dolfan Nation throws the baby out with the bathwater, consider all the national narratives… swallow them like new years eve hors d’oeuvres and crap them out the next day along with a bit of a hangover. The Dolphins are a good team. They aren’t far from being a great team. Listen in to this podcast for the silver/teal lining. It’s 2024, and Alex has a message for you all. The Bills are coming to Miami. The AFC East “marbles” are on the line. The Dolphins CAN beat the Bills, but it won’t be easy. There’s a playoff game in the near future too – what might happen? Join our conversation.

Alex and Scott are joined by Andy Korge for this episode. In preparation for a future push to bring on more remote guests, we used a new tool for this recording, so please bear with us for some minor audio issues.The Titans loss was a surprise to everyone. Alex made a list of mistakes made in the game, any one of which would have changed the final score. Some are on players, some are on coaches, (and we didn’t address officiating) but all need to be fixed to make this team a contender. There are some players on the roster who could have an impact, but are currently unused. Why? Injuries have hurt the Dolphins, and Grier has work to do to find more contributors and depth. The Jets are coming to town, and suddenly this doesn’t look like the lock it should be. What do these three predict?

Alex and Scott hit the studio on a Saturday to capture fresh thoughts on the Jets game. Just like the week before, there was a lot to like in the game, and some concerns too. First and foremost, this is a stomping of the hated Jets, so they celebrate that. The loss of Phillips is a sobering elephant in the room. What about Mike McDaniels game plane and play calling this week? What about Tua’s protection of the ball? What about that MetLife field? More thoughts on the rest of the season and the Dolphins journey to the playoffs. There’s an interesting tidbit about our next opponent, the Washington Commanders. How will our Dolphins fare in the nation’s capitol? Join our conversation and listen in to this episode for all this and more.

It’s a victory Tuesday and the two old Dolfans are back in the studio to talk about the latest in Dolphins football. The Raiders game came out a W. What did they like/love from the game? What fills these two long time football guys with hope from this game? Don’t drink the Kool-Aid too hard – there were some detractors that keep surfacing game after game that need to be addressed. Without some in-season improvement, well, our Fins could be a flash in the post-season pan. What are these things? What will the Dolphins do in NY for the first black Friday game in NFL History? We are pretty sure of how it will turn out. Listen in for answers to these questions and more.
