The brothers from the exact same mother are back!After a few weeks away, Aaron and Josh get caught up on the latest Miami Dolphins' offseason news and look ahead to the NFL draft. Big ticket items include Tua Tagovailoa's ongoing contract negotiations and whether the Dolphins should pay Jaylen Waddle as soon as possible in the aftermath of Devonta …

NFL Free Agency is off and running with big names moving to new teams with some eye-popping contract numbers. For the Miami Dolphins, it was particularly bittersweet as the team said goodbye to several homegrown players including DT Christian Wilkins and G Robert Hunt. But, as he so often does, Chris Grier set to work bringing in replacements on sm…

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 …

Aaron and Josh are back with a list of free agents they would like to see the Dolphins target! Who would YOU like to see the Dolphins pursue?Plus, the offseason news cycles keep churning with a big piece of Miami Dolphins news breaking on Sunday that the team would NOT be using the franchise tag on defensive tackle Christian Wilkins, thus making hi…

The Miami Dolphins have fired their opening salvo this offseason by announcing last week the release of Emmanuel Ogbah and their plan to cut avien Howard with a post-June 1st designation on the first day of the new NFL league year.The moves free up some space for the Dolphins to maneuver around the new salary cap, set at just over 255 million dolla…

As we inch closer to the official launch of the new NFL league year, there are still questions that must be answered regarding key players on the Dolphins' roster. As the team prepares to be cap compliant, there are a number of moves still to make. Two players whose future with the team is now in question are Jerome Baker and Xavien Howard. How muc…

Among the players the Miami Dolphins will need to make a decision on is OLB Andrew Van Ginkel. The man they call AVG has really come into his own over the past two seasons and filled in admirably when the Dolphins lose Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb. With both of those two players likely to be missing or not 100% at the start of the 2024 season,…

Aaron is back discussing the hiring of Anthony Weaver as Defensive Coordinator. Will he be a success? What kind of track record does he have? Then he breaks down the Dolphins' options regarding offensive linemen Connor Williams and Robert Hunt and what he thinks the team should do. It's a special solo episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at Dolphi…

So much for the usual end of season hiatus. Alex has been harping all week to start season seven with a podcast about culture, Fangio’s exit, and who he wants as the new DC. So, we are back! This episode was recording during lunchtime on Friday, and news is coming fast around current issues, so don’t wait to jump in to this one.…

Miami Dolphins Defensive Tackle Christian Wilkins made a bet on himself by refusing what was the Dolphins' last and best offer to sign him to an extension prior to the start of the 2023 season. It was a bet he absolutely won. Wilkins put in his best season to date and, alongside Zach Sieler, was the foundation of the defensive scheme implemented by…

Tua Tagovailoa just had the best year of his career, leading the NFL in passing yards and ranking ear the very stop in several other statistical categories. Since his debut in 2020, there has been steady improvement in his overall play. These two statements are indisputable. However, for the fourth straight season, Tagovailoa played his worst footb…

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 …

The Miami Dolphins' 2023 season has come to an end. It was perhaps appropriate that the final chapter of this season was written in the coldest game in franchise history because the Dolphins once blistering hot offense finished off the season ice cold. Meanwhile, the Dolphins's shorthanded defense fought valiantly, but simply couldn't do enough aga…

After 18 weeks of ups and downs, highs and lows, we have arrived at the NFL Playoffs. Previous wins and losses no longer matter. Now, it's win or go home. For the Miami Dolphins, the final month of the season was particularly rough, costing them their chance at a divisional crown and many of their key players. Of course, none of that matters now. T…

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 t…

The Miami Dolphins found themselves in a great position thanks to early season success only to squander their opportunity to win the AFC East and potentially play multiple playoff games at home. The Bills remain the boogeyman the Dolphins just cannot defeat and the Dolphins stumble into the postseason on the back of two consecutive defeats. The nar…

We always kinda had a feeling it was going to come down to this.The Miami Dolphins host the Buffalo Bills at Hard Rock Stadium in Week 18. The winner will be the AFC East Champion and the 2 seed in the AFC playoffs. The loser will likely end up as a wild card in the #6 seed but, if it's the Bills, there's a chance their season could be over. In Wee…

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 ev…

The Dolphins have squandered yet another opportunity to make a statement on the road in December against a legitimate opponent. If that were the only takeaway, it wouldn't be so bad. But it's much worse than that for the Miami Dolphins. Not only were they completely dismantled by one of the best teams in the NFL, but they came up small and suffered…

On the heels of their biggest victory of 2023, the Miami Dolphins head to Baltimore with an opportunity to do a number of things: they can clinch the AFC East title for the first time since 2008, ensure a top 2 finish in the AFC, and give themselves the opportunity to play for a first round bye in Week 18. A win would also be a second signature win…

Alex and Scott are back in the studio to talk about the Jets game, Hard Knocks, and the upcoming Cowboys game. Join the conversation about cancelling narratives. Waddle, Tua, Chubb, McDaniel… What fun it was to take in the game against “gang green”, relive some moments through their conversation and get some Hard Knocks highlights. Total Domination…

The Miami Dolphins answered the bell.After a brutal loss to the Tennessee Titans, the Dolphins bounced back with a completely dominant victory over the New York Jets. With injuries on the offensive line and to Tyreek Hill, the Dolphins found other ways to win, combining quick passes and cleverly designed running plays with a key deep shot to Jaylen…

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 …

***WARNING! PROFANITY ABOUNDS!***It's time to turn the page.After a nightmarish loss to the Titans and a very rough few days, the Miami Dolphins have an opportunity to bounce back against the visiting New York Jets. Of course, there will be lingering effects from Monday Night's loss: Connor Williams is out for the year with a torn ACL. Tyreek Hill …

***WARNING! THIS EPISODE CONTAINS PROFANITY.*** There's no way around it. The Miami Dolphins suffered one of the most painful defeats in recent memory on Monday night against the Tennessee Titans, blowing a 14-point lead in the final three minutes of a game they had been handed on a silver platter. It was an overall terrible night for the Dolphins,…

Scott and Alex are back in the Studio on a Victory Thursday this week to record another episode. Why Thursday? Well, on reason was HBO’s Hard Knocks. Both wanted to get caught up and talk about it. A few minutes have passed since the game in Washington DC, but there are some fun things to look back on. AVG, Hill, Tua, Achane… Where are the less obv…

When the Miami Dolphins' 2024 schedule was released, a Monday Night Football date with Ryan Tannehill and the Tennessee Titans looked like an exciting proposition. Months later, an injury to RT17 and a rough season in Music City has the fixture looking like a very different affair indeed, Will Levis is now the Titans' start with Tannehill on the be…

On Sunday, the Miami Dolphins delivered one of their most complete performances of the season against the Washington Commanders. Buoyed by the return of De'Von Achane, the offense jumped into action immediately and never let up. The defense, playing their first full game since Jaelan Phillips was lost for the season, showed strength and steadfastne…

The Miami Dolphins look to solidify their lead in the AFC East and resume normal service of blowing out inferior opposition as they take the Greatest Show on Surf to the nation's capital for a Week 13 matchup with Sam Howell and the Washington Commanders. Can the Dolphins dominate once again on both sides of the ball? Will Sam Howell's gunslinger m…

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…

That ended up being pretty dang easy. The Miami Dolphins cruised to victory, 34-13 over the moribund New York Jets on Black Friday, but lost Jaelan Phillips to a torn achilles. Terron Armstead also left the game early due to a quad injury. Other than those two injuries, it was largely a very good day at the office for the Fins. Aaron and Josh are b…

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 afte…

Aaron and Josh return with their final pre-Thanksgiving show to preview the Dolphins' Black Friday matchup with the New York Jets in the Meadowlands. The Jets will be in desperation mode, changing QBs on a short week in an effort to keep their season afloat long enough to perhaps allow their knight in shining armor, Aaron Rodgers, to return and lea…

A win is a win is a win.On a day where the Miami Dolphins' offense demonstrated some uncharacteristic sputters, their defense came up huge, carrying the team to a 20-13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Big performances from Bradley Chubb, Jalen Ramsey, and many more highlighted yet another strong performance from a defensive unit that it starting to…

After a BYE Week, the Dolphins find themselves with a two-game lead inside the AFC East heading into their Week 11 matchup vs the Las Vegas Raiders. Mike and Aaron preview this Sunday's showdown at Hard Rock Stadium. They go over which players are returning from IR and which players were let go to make room for them on the roster; they discuss if t…

Once again the Miami Dolphins had an opportunity to change the narrative surrounding them and demand to be taken seriously as a contender and once again they fell short. This time it was a woeful first half and series of self-inflicted wounds that ended up costing them. Bad playcalling, poor execution, and sloppy penalties were most of the cause, t…

Here we go! When the Dolphins' 2023 schedule was released, a lot of people immediately zeroed in on this game as one with significant AFC playoff implications. Now Week 9 has arrived and, as expected, it absolutely does. The Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins are currently first and second in the AFC power structure. The winner of this game will…

Well...they've done it again.Once again, the Miami Dolphins faced inferior opposition and once again, the Miami Dolphins picked up a big dub. Tua and his receiving weapons continued to click an the Dolphins' defense, boosted by the debut of Jalen Ramsey, really seem to be figuring some things out. For the first time in two weeks, Aaron and Josh are…

After defeat in Philadelphia, the Miami Dolphins look to return to winning ways and go for the season sweep over the New England Patriots this Sunday! Dolphins fans were shocked to hear that Tyreek Hill missed practice on Wednesday with a hip injury, but were relieved when he returned on Thursday. Will he play on Sunday? Will Connor Williams and Xa…

With Josh on IR due to being under the weather, Aaron is joined by special guest Mike Oliva of DolphinsTalk.com to recap the Dolphins' loss to the Eagles on Sunday Night. They discuss whether, in their eyes, Miami gained respect with this loss and if, in the eyes of the National Media, the Dolphins got some respect with how they played vs Philly. T…

With Josh out of town, Aaron is joined by special guest Mike Oliva of DolphinsTalk.com to preview the Miami Dolphins' colossal Week 7 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. They discuss the matchups to watch and whether or not a Dolphins' victory would mean the team was one step closer to losing the "same old Dolphins" monik…

Another Sunday, another very comfortable Miami Dolphins victory. Of course, it didn't start out that way. The Dolphins came out uncharacteristically flat and allowed the Carolina Panthers to jump out to a 14-0 first quarter lead. After that, though, normal service was resumed as the Dolphins put up 35 straight points led by Tua Tagovailoa, Tyreek H…

After disposing of the New York Giants with relative ease, the Miami Dolphins will look to do the same thing with an arguably weaker Carolina Panthers team. Can the offense clean it up and fire on all cylinders? Can the defense continue to improve? Aaron and Josh discuss on another episode of THE SAME OLD DOLPHINS SHOW at DolphinsTalk.com! ***PLEAS…

Well, that was much more like it from your Miami Dolphins. The defense performed as you would have expected against Daniel Jones and the beat up Giants offensive line: they registered 8 sacks and did not allow a touchdown. The offense was once again pretty stellar, accumulating 524 total yards and besting the 2000 St. Louis Rams for most total yard…

You might call it a "game to forget," but we're sitting here hoping that game lives long in the memories of every member of the Miami Dolphins' defense and that they use that humiliation as fuel to bounce back and ensure it never happens again. The struggling New York Giants provide the perfect opportunity for the Dolphins to get back to winning wa…

Well, that wasn't what we wanted to see at all, was it?With an opportunity to make a massive statement, the Miami Dolphins went to Buffalo and instead found themselves on the receiving end of a statement being made by the home team. The Dolphins were beaten 48-20 and the game probably wasn't even as close as the score makes it sound. The Dolphins' …

In the 1990s, there was never a bigger game on the Dolphins' schedule than the annual visit to Buffalo to take on the Bills. After a long break with both teams mired in mediocrity, we have again arrived at a time when the biggest dates on the teams' calendars at their clashes with one another. The first of these meetings in the 2023 season takes pl…
