A Brief History Of The Miami Dolphins And Rookie Of The Year Award Winners May 07, 2026

Show notes

Miami Dolphins’ Rookie of the Year drought stretches three decades—could Jacob Rodriguez finally break the streak? Host Kyle Crabbs analyzes the franchise’s history with Rookie of the Year honors, spotlighting past winners like Tim Bowens, A.J. Duhe,, and Troy Stradford while questioning if this year’s influx of rookies might change the narrative.

Crabbs assesses defensive prospects, arguing that linebacker Jacob Rodriguez’s elite college pedigree and potential to start alongside Jordyn Brooks put him in prime position. Offensively, wide receivers Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell face long odds due to Miami’s spread-it-around passing attack, echoing the Packers’ recent strategy with rookie pass-catchers. The episode breaks down statistical trends, position battles with Tyrel Dodson, and what it will take for a Miami rookie to stand out among the NFL’s best newcomers. Will Miami’s youth movement finally produce another AP Rookie of the Year?

Five Miami Dolphins Veterans Who Are Now Firmly ON NOTICE In 2026 May 06, 2026

Show notes

Miami Dolphins shake up their depth chart as five key players—Chop Robinson, Tyrel Dotson, Zach Sieler, Malik Washington, and Jonah Savaiinaea — face heightened scrutiny entering 2026. Can Robinson deliver 50+ pressures as an edge rusher and justify his first-round status, or will the Dolphins pull the plug? Will rookie Jacob Rodriguez’s rise push Dotson out of the linebacker rotation, and could Sealer’s hefty contract make him a surprise trade candidate as the roster gets younger?

Host Kyle Crabbs breaks down Miami’s evolving roster strategy, highlighting fierce battles in the wide receiver and offensive line rooms. Malik Washington and Jonah Savaiinaea must step up with new talent like Kevin Coleman and Jamaree Salyer gunning for their spots. With cap constraints and a focus on youth, every rep counts. Will these veterans cling to their roles, or are the Dolphins primed for bold moves? Don’t miss the inside scoop on Miami’s high-stakes offseason decisions.
