Xavien Howard worth every penny

The Miami Dolphins were in the news daily during the offseason, but it was mainly regarding starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Offensive line an early season concern

PARTING SHOTS

Can Miami tackle their tackle issues?

The Miami Dolphins currently have a 2020 first-round pick, a 2021 second-round pick, a 2019 second-round pick, and a player who has started 56 games for them over the last four seasons to choose from at right and left tackle.

Solid preseason offers hope for running game

How unlikely would it be if the answer to the Dolphins running game concerns is a former seventh-round pick in his third season out of Washington who was the last of 25 running backs taken in the 2019 draft?

How good can the defense be?

Had it not been for the Miami Dolphins’ defense last season, they would not have won 10 games.

Time to step up

The Dolphins added playmakers in the 2021 draft, but their contributions likely won’t be as important as those from the Classes of 2019 and 2020

Rookie free agents, numbers, trades

It was a vastly smaller undrafted free agent class the Dolphins brought to their post-draft rookie minicamp this year.

Breaking down the Bobby McCain move

Former fifth-round pick Bobby McCain did a commendable job for Miami in 2020, as the former cornerback had transitioned to safety over the last two seasons. McCain’s play may never have been described as “elite,” but his leadership ability was.

2021 Draft Profiles: Jevon Holland

With the second-round pick that came from the Houston Texans as a result of the 2019 trade involving tackle Laremy Tunsil, the Dolphins selected Oregon safety Jevon Holland.

2021 Draft Profiles: Jaelan Phillips

The Dolphins used their own first-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft on University of Miami edge defender Jaelan Phillips.

2021 Draft Profiles: Jaylen Waddle

The Dolphins used the sixth overall pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft, which they obtained from the Philadelphia Eagles, on University of Alabama wide receiver Jaylen Waddle.

2021 Draft Profiles: Hunter Long

With their third-round pick, the 81st overall, the Dolphins selected Boston College tight end Hunter Long.

Dolphins defense could use another playmaking linebacker

We understand that the offseason talk has centered on offense, and justifiably so. There are serious voids that must be filled both at running back and receiver. Just put in the tape from last season you’ll see that just about every Sunday.

Dolphins have tools to get better quickly

The challenge is clear and imposing. The Dolphins need to figure out how to go from good to great.

DD's FREE AGENCY PLAN

Pro Football Focus had McCain rated higher than Rowe in terms of 2020 performance, though Rowe played the more difficult role of covering opposing tight ends (such as Travis Kelce and Darren Waller).

Analyzing the Sanders extension

Jason Sanders had the best season ever for a Miami Dolphins kicker in 2020, and he was rewarded for it when he was named a first-team All-Pro.

2020 Free Agency Flashback

After reviewing the top pending free agents at every position, it’s important to understand that the Dolphins won’t be involved in the kind of shopping spree they had last offseason.

Time for yet another offensive coordinator

The Dolphins will have a new offensive coordinator again in 2021.

The state of the Dolphins media session

Here were the highlights of General Manager Chris Grier and Head Coach Brian Flores’ annual season-ending media session.

Interesting offseason ahead

The Dolphins still need to put together some pieces despite taking a big step forward during the challenging 2020 season

Howard's performance should be saluted

We were fortunate to witness a truly dominant performance this season by cornerback Xavien Howard. It wasn’t only his 10 interceptions, tying a longstanding team record and the most in the NFL since 2007, it was the way he played with such confidence and at such a high level of efficiency.

Another major step forward

The 2020 season will end up being viewed as an undeniable success for the Dolphins, no matter the outcome of the final two games
