The Miami Dolphins may have left Las Vegas with a loss, but Week 1 gave us our first real look at what this young team could become. And despite the final score… there were flashes. Jacob Rodriguez looked comfortable in the middle of the defense. Caleb Douglas continued to make his case. Miami’s young players stepped up in big moments, and Malik Willis showed enough athleticism, toughness and arm talent to make the conversation around his future a LOT more interesting. But this is still a rebuild — and there were plenty of reminders. The pass rush disappeared. The offensive and defensive lines struggled. And Miami’s special teams were anything BUT special, nearly surrendering multiple huge returns and repeatedly putting the Dolphins in terrible situations. So what happens now? The Dolphins stayed out West, headed to Napa and now prepare for an even tougher Week 2 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. On this episode of Fish Tank LIVE, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, The Legendary Sevach, Mike Oliva and Sun Sentinel columnist Chris Perkins break down: •What we actually learned from the Week 1 loss to the Raiders •The impressive debut of Miami’s rookie class •What Malik Willis showed — and where he still needs to grow •The Dolphins’ alarming special-teams problems •Jacob Rodriguez’s impressive first NFL game •Caleb Douglas and Miami’s young playmakers •What a REAL NFL rebuild actually looks like •What improvement should look like from Week 1 to Week 2 •And whether this young Dolphins team can hang with the San Francisco 49ers This season was never going to be a finished product in September. Week 1 was the baseline. Now we find out whether Miami can start stacking bricks. The bond don’t break. #MiamiDolphins #Dolphins #FinsUp Edited by Sevach Melton.

Just 12 days after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the Miami Dolphins and Oakland Raiders took the field at Pro Player Stadium as the NFL returned to action. What followed was an unforgettable football game played at a moment when sports meant something far beyond the final score.In Fish Tank Iconic: The Game We Needed, Seth Levit and O.J. McDuffie commemorate the 25th anniversary of September 11 through a Miami Dolphins lens by revisiting that extraordinary afternoon through the firsthand memories of 19 people who lived it. Together, they chronicle the shock of September 11, the NFL's decision to postpone its games, the uncertainty surrounding its return, unprecedented security, an emotional national anthem, and a remarkable game that produced an ending no one could have scripted.Dolphins quarterback Jay Fiedler, a New York native personally impacted by the attacks, is joined by Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon, the game's two head coaches in Dave Wannstedt and Jon Gruden, Pro Football Hall of Famers Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas, All-Pro cornerback Patrick Surtain, Oronde Gadsden, James McKnight, Todd Wade, Dedric Ward and Trace Armstrong, along with South Florida journalists Greg Cote, Dave Hyde and Mike Mayo, and other members of the Dolphins organization from that time period.With five seconds remaining, Fiedler dove across the goal line to complete an improbable 80-yard game-winning drive and provide an enduring image of one extraordinary afternoon.This isn't a story about a football game healing a nation. It's the story of what sports could offer in that moment: something familiar, a reason to come together, and a chance - even if only for a few hours- to feel joy again.Twenty-five years later, this is Fish Tank Iconic: The Game We Needed.The Fish Tank is presented by:Van Horn Law Grouphttps://www.vanhornlawgroup.com/CasaBella Design Grouphttps://casabelladg.com/
TheMiami Dolphins are officially back — and what better way to kick off the2026 NFL season than Dolphins vs. Raiders with Jay Fiedler joining us LIVE brought to you by Van Horn Law Group (https://www.vanhornlawgroup.com/) and Casa Bella Design Group (https://casabelladg.com/)?With Miami preparing for itsseason opener against the Las Vegas Raiders,former Dolphins quarterback Jay Fiedler joins O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chris Perkins and the Fish Tank crew to break down this young Dolphins roster, Malik Willis, Miami’s rookie wide receivers and what to expect as the Jeff Hafley/Jon-Eric Sullivan era officially begins. Jay gives a quarterback’s perspective on Malik Willis, including the challenge ofbuilding trust with a young receiving corps featuring rookies Chris Bell and Caleb Douglas, while O.J. explains why Miami’s receivers may have to prove themselves as blockers before anything else. But Dolphins vs. Raiders carries some serious history, too.Twenty-five years ago, Fiedler — a native New Yorker — led Miami against theRaiders in one of the most emotional games in franchise history as the NFL returned to action following the September 11 attacks.Jay reflects on that experience, what he remembers from 9/11, the responsibility the Dolphins felt when football returned, and why that game became about much more than football.The crew also previews Fish Tank Iconic: The Game We Needed, an upcoming audio documentary chronicling that unforgettable Dolphins-Raiders game through the voices of Fiedler, Jason Taylor, Zach Thomas, Dave Wannstedt, Jon Gruden and many more.
The Miami Dolphins told everyone what was coming. Now that the rebuild is actually here, why is everyone so surprised?O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chris Perkins, Mike Oliva and Chad Van Horn break down Jon-Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley’s aggressive roster overhaul as Miami continues getting younger, churning the bottom of the roster and reshaping the team in their image. Is this simply what a true rebuild looks like—or are the Dolphins making too many changes at once? The crew digs into the completely revamped quarterback room, the decision to move on from Quinn Ewers, Kyle McCord’s arrival behind Malik Willis and the challenge of getting new quarterbacks ready with the regular season already here. They also identify their biggest concerns entering Week 1, including Miami’s youth, an uncertain pass rush and major questions in the secondary. Plus, Juice takes everyone back to school with an “I Tried to Tell Y’all” lesson on roster math: addition, subtraction, division, multiplication—and the 53 players left when the equation is finished. The rebuild is no longer theoretical. This is what it looks like.Edited by Sevach Melton.

The regular season is here, and the Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover is back!With the Miami Dolphins’ roster undergoing some significant last-minute changes, Mike Oliva, O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit each reveal the one move that caught their attention — and what it could tell us about the direction of the new regime.Mike weighs in on the release of Tyrel Dodson and what it says about the Dolphins’ confidence in rookie linebacker Jacob Rodriguez. O.J. explains why he raised an eyebrow when the Dolphins moved on from Ethan Bonner. And Seth dives into Miami’s complete overhaul at backup quarterback, including the departure of Quinn Ewers and the addition of Kyle McCord.The guys also discuss Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan’s early roster philosophy, the influence of Sullivan’s years in Green Bay, Miami’s willingness to move on when players don’t meet the standard, and why the roster churn may not be over yet.The games finally count. What will this new-look Dolphins roster look like when the regular season begins?
Tua Tagovailoa is coming back to Miami — only this time, he’ll be wearing the wrong colors.With Tua set to return to Hard Rock Stadium as a member of the Atlanta Falcons, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chad Van Horn, Mike Oliva and The Legendary Sevach debate the question dividing Dolphins fans: Should Tua get booed when he takes the field? The crew looks back at Tua’s complicated relationship with Miami, why emotions surrounding the former Dolphins quarterback remain so strong, and where the line should be drawn between sports fandom and making things personal. But Tua’s return also raises a much bigger question: Did the Dolphins make the right decision by moving on? With uncertainty behind Malik Willis at quarterback, would Miami actually be better off with Tua still on the roster — especially when the Dolphins are paying him anyway? The guys explain why keeping him may have created exactly the kind of distraction Jeff Hafley and Miami’s new leadership are trying to eliminate.Then the focus shifts to the Dolphins themselves. After an ugly performance against the Giants, Juice explains what he needs to see from Miami’s roster hopefuls in the preseason finale — more physicality, fewer mental mistakes, better special teams play and, above all, players proving they actually belong on the 53-man roster. Plus, the latest “I Tried to Tell Y’all” looks at the identity Hafley may be building in Miami. Inspired by Miami HEAT legend Udonis Haslem’s visit to Dolphins headquarters, Seth examines a roster filled with overlooked players, late-round picks and veterans on prove-it deals — from Malik Willis and Aaron Brewer to Zach Sieler and others — and asks whether a team without many traditional superstars can build something around toughness, sacrifice and players who came up the hard way. Tua is coming back. The preseason is ending. And the new-look Miami Dolphins are about to find out exactly what they have.Edited by Sevach Melton.

The Dolphins may not have won the day against Washington, but O.J. McDuffie and the Fish Tank LIVE crew saw something encouraging: this young Miami team competed physically and refused to get pushed around. The guys break down what they learned from the Commanders joint practice, including another impressive showing from Caleb Douglas, before diving into Miami’s first depth chart and what it could reveal about players like Jacob Rodriguez, Kenneth Grant, Trey Moore and Willie Gay.Plus, Juice shares a player’s perspective on what that first depth chart really means inside an NFL meeting room—and why where a player is listed can provide plenty of motivation.Edited by Sevach Melton.

The Miami Dolphins’ sweeping organizational transformation now reaches the very top.With Daniel Sillman assuming a larger leadership role and Tom Garfinkel transitioning from president and CEO to vice chairman, the Dolphins have placed an exclamation point on the beginning of a new era. O.J. McDuffie, Chris Perkins, Mike Oliva and The Legendary Sevach discuss what the change means for the franchise, why Steve Ross deserves credit for embracing such a dramatic overhaul, and whether Sillman’s arrival will finally produce a different approach to football operations. The crew also recognizes Garfinkel’s highly successful tenure overseeing the organization’s business ventures, including the stadium transformation and the growth of major events surrounding the Dolphins.The conversation then moves to the field, where Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan continue establishing their vision through teaching, competition, accountability and constant roster evaluation. The guys break down Austin Jackson’s latest injury, whether Miami should begin preparing Kadyn Proctor at right tackle, Jacob Rodriguez’s impressive start, the emerging competition at linebacker and the position groups that remain the biggest concerns.Plus, the panel discusses:Why this may be the most comprehensive Dolphins reset in decadesHow Hafley’s hands-on coaching style is connecting with playersThe young defenders pushing established veterans for playing timeWhat a successful rebuilding season should actually look likeAnother spirited edition of “I Tried to Tell Y’all”Edited by Sevach Melton.
