Episode notes
Dolphins' Fragile Offense And Tua Limitations
- The Dolphins' offense depends heavily on Tua's timing and a small, fragile roster which breaks down when anything deviates from perfect execution.
- Danny Kelly and Craig Horlbeck argue injuries and size limitations make Miami regressive rather than championship-ready.
Roster Construction Explains Miami's Cold-Weather Woes
- The Dolphins' roster construction favors small, skilly players and lacks the physicality needed to win in cold-weather or physical matchups.
- Hosts link that personnel strategy to recurring losses in sub-40°F games and organizational roster failures.
Priority Waiver Adds At Running Back
- Add Blake Corum early when available; he's been a consistent waiver priority for weeks and often becomes rostered.
- If Corum's gone, prioritize Michael Carter in Arizona for immediate touches after Bam Knight's injury.
