PAY THE MAN | Dolphins' 2026 Offseason Plans Should Include A Contract Extension For Star RB De'Von Achane Dec 05, 2025

Show notes

The Miami Dolphins must prep for a franchise-altering decision as De'Von Achane's breakout season puts him at the center of extension talks. Can the Dolphins’ new general manager craft a deal that balances cap management and rewarding elite homegrown talent, or will Achane’s value soar past reason as the 2026 salary cap climbs?

Kyle Crabbs explores every contract layer, comparing Achane’s sudden rise to the league’s top running backs like Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley, and Jonathan Taylor. The discussion highlights Achane’s explosive running style, his rare AFC Offensive Player of the Month honor, and the role of Miami’s evolving run-first offense under Mike McDaniel. With names like Jahmyr Gibbs and Bijan Robinson potentially shaking the market, the stakes for locking in Achane have never been higher. Will Miami set a new standard for running back contracts or risk losing their backfield dynamo?

CROSSOVER THURSDAY | Dolphins Seek To Break Out The Brooms & Finish A 2025 Sweep Of The Jets Dec 04, 2025

Show notes

New York Jets and Miami Dolphins show signs of life in a heated AFC East showdown. Can AD Mitchell’s breakout performance and Breece Hall’s explosive running game power the Jets past Jalen Waddle, De'Von Achane, and a surging Dolphins squad under Mike McDaniel? The stakes are high for both teams, as Miami eyes a playoff push and the Jets invest valuable snaps in future cornerstones.

John Butchko and Kyle Crabbs break down the biggest matchups at MetLife Stadium, from Will McDonald’s pass rush against Miami’s shaky offensive line to Mason Taylor’s impact in the passing attack. Key storylines include changes on both rosters—post-Quinnen Williams and Sauce Gardner trades for the Jets, and a new chapter in Dolphins leadership after moving on from Chris Grier. Special teams, explosive plays, and the emergence of young talent take center stage as both franchises fight to redefine their seasons.

Just How Far Can De'Von Achane Carry The Dolphins And Exploring How Valid Miami's Trench Growth Is Dec 03, 2025

Show notes

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane surges up the franchise record books, but can he chase down Ricky Williams' legendary single-season rushing mark? The Dolphins' offense is firing on all cylinders with explosive ground production, and Achane is averaging 86.2 rushing yards per game, second only to Williams in team history. Kyle Crabbs highlights Achane’s pace, the strategic workload management, and why this season may redefine Dolphins rushing milestones.

Trench dominance transforms Miami’s outlook as both run offense and run defense rank among the NFL’s elite since Week 6. Key battles loom with upcoming opponents, but the schedule favors Miami’s ground game and improved front seven. Get the latest on the Jets’ depleted roster—missing Sauce Gardner, Quinnen Williams, and Garrett Wilson—as the Dolphins prepare for a pivotal AFC East clash. Will Mike McDaniel’s squad capitalize on these matchup advantages to keep their winning formula rolling?
