1 day ago How should Dolphins adjust to new kickoff rule - The Splash Zone 3/28/24
Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours. A new rule was approved by the NFL that would change how the kickoff works. Kick returns are going to become a thing again, at least for a year, under this new setup which is a copy of the XFL kickoff. So with this new rule, will the Dolphins have to make any adjustments for their return game? Braxton Berrios mainly handled return duties last season, but with this new rule it might be wise to find a dynamic returner who has that home run ability. De’Von Achane would be a good choice, but would it be wise to have him out there when he is so valuable on offense? You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below. Do Dolphins Need a New Kickoff Returner with New Rules?The kickoff return actually will be a thing again in the NFL in 2024, so do the Miami Dolphins need to do anything to adjust and take advantage of this?

1 day ago Phinsider Question Of The Day: Free Agent With The Biggest Possible Impact Edition
Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images Earlier this week, I asked about the free agents that our Miami Dolphins had already signed this offseason. The question focused on the free agents or agents you wish the team had bypassed for another option. So what about the guys that were added to the roster that you are instead happy about? While it sucked for the fan base to see some fan favorites leave town for some nice paydays, the team did manage to fill some of the holes with some quality players from other teams. So tonight’s question of the day is which free agent signings that brought in a new player to the team do you like, and which signings do you expect to have the most positive impact on the team's overall play or, specifically, the overall play of their unit this coming season? Please give us your thoughts and answers in the comments section below-

1 day ago Did former GM Mike Tannenbaum finally win back Dolphins fans with his recent mock draft?
Photo by Todd Rosenberg/Getty Images Is Jackson Powers-Johnson the right fit for the Miami Dolphins at No. 21? The Miami Dolphins spent the last two weeks rebuilding the roster in free agency but with under $5 million in available cap space, it’s time to turn our attention to the 2024 NFL Draft. Miami inked Aaron Brewer to a three-year contract to play center on March 17 and yet, former general manager Mike Tannenbaum believes the Dolphins should keep adding at the position. The mock draft featured quarterbacks going with the first four picks, and with six going by the time the Los Angeles Rams pick at 19, Tannenbaum, Miami’s former executive vice president of football operations, had the franchise selecting Oregon center Jackson Powers-Johnson. “This pick could go in a number of ways,” Tannenbaum wrote, “but with center Connor Williams still an unsigned free agent coming off a torn ACL and Robert Hunt leaving for a big-money deal in Carolina, there is a weakness on the interior of the offensive line (even with the addition of Aaron Brewer).” Tannenbaum mentioned JPJ’s strong showing at the Senior Bowl and highlighted that he started 17 games without surrendering a sack. The Dolphins added to the offensive line in free agency while also re-signing Isaiah Wynn and Robert Jones, but should the franchise go a step further in solidifying one of the league’s most injured units? Let us know what you think — is Jackson Powers-Johnson the quickest way to improve the Dolphins, or is there another glaring weakness that needs to be addressed?

1 day ago Tyreek Hill Aims for 2,000 Yards Again in 2024
Photo by Megan Briggs/Getty Images Can Tyreek Hill eclipse 2,000 yards, and should he try to? It’s safe to say that Tyreek Hill is the most productive receiver in Miami Dolphins franchise history. He’s among the elite in the sport and a focal point of the Dolphins offense. Last year, Hill set a goal of getting to 2,000 receiving yards in the regular season, preferably within the first sixteen games, legitimizing it further. He was well on his way there, averaging 123.5 yards per game, projecting 2,223 yards over an eighteen-game span and 1,976 yards over a sixteen-game span. Those were his averages through twelve weeks, then Hill was injured on a horse collar tackle that turned into a hip drop tackle against the Tennessee Titans in week fourteen, and his yards per game dropped to 79.5 through the last four games of the season. It was wild to see Tyreek play hurt through the rest of the year. He deserves tons of credit for that and likely would have eclipsed 2,000 yards last year. Late last week, he took to IG to showcase his goal for 2024. Tyreek Hill posted this on his Instagram story. Looks like 2,000 yards receiving is the goal!!! #FinsUp #MiamiDolphins pic.twitter.com/cZQ1jMkMDl— Big E (@ian693) March 21, 2024 Hill’s production over the last two years with himself and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa healthy has been the best in the league. I can see why he wants to run back his 2022 goal of being the first player to get to 2,000 yards in a season, preferably in sixteen games. If Hill gets relatively the same targets as he did in 2023, the record is attainable, but is this goal good for the team? I’d have to say no. The offense is at its best when Tua makes the correct reads and hits the right guys. A master distributor, a point guard. There will be games where Tyreek puts up video game numbers, and there will be games where defenses force Tua to beat them over the top, and Tyreek will eat. I expect that to happen, but I don’t want to see Tua force the ball to him and miss open guys or not be able to be on the same page with other receivers, as I saw at times in 2023. Weeks fourteen and fifteen were a perfect case study of how being too Tyreek-reliant can backfire. Tyreek gets hurt early in the game against the Titans, and the offense turned to ice until he limped his way back onto the field. The offense was non-existent without him. The very next week, when they knew Tyreek wasn’t playing, Tua had one of his best games of the season. He didn’t put up huge numbers but was highly efficient, got everyone involved, and carved up an elite New York Jets pass defense. Remember this play? Tua Tagovailoa throws a 2-yard pass to Jaylen Waddle for a 60-yard TD. #Dolphins up 17-0 on the #Jets in second quarter. pic.twitter.com/G28JVSreRK— Safid Deen (@Safid_Deen) December 17, 2023 I’m not saying that Tua shouldn’t target Tyreek the most or not take chances over the top out of structure. He absolutely should, but the offense is most effective when Tua makes the right reads and trusts everyone. The offense has to take a step forward this year and become balanced. It helps the transition into late-season football when it’s colder and scoring becomes harder. The offense can’t be Tyreek-dependent, and his 2,000-yard goal may get in the way of team goals. I can see why he wants that for his legacy, but it’s not something the Dolphins should have on the forefront of their minds, and the only goal that should matter is winning playoff games on the way toward the Super Bowl. Let us know in the comments if you think Tyreek Hill can get to 2,000 yards this year and if that’s a goal you prioritize.

1 day ago NFL Draft rumors 2024: Pro Football Focus suggest Miami Dolphins trade back in first round
David Furones/South Florida Sun Sentinel/Tribune News Service via Getty Images PFF looks at six trades they think should be made for the 2024 NFL Draft, with the Miami Dolphins involved in one of them. The 2024 NFL Draft is a month away. As the league’s focus shifts from the frenzy of the free agency period and onto the college prospects who will soon be headed into the NFL, we are starting to see an explosion in mock drafts and projections of what will happen on the first night of the selection process. Pro Football Focus looked at several possible trades that could happen in the first round, selecting the six favorites that they want to see. As we move through the first 32 picks of the draft, the Miami Dolphins come on the clock with the 21st pick. While the current round of mock drafts has the Dolphins primarily focused on bolstering either the offensive or defensive line, PFF thinks Miami could do something else: trading back and adding more draft capital. According to their projection, the trade that they would like to see is the Green Bay Packers moving up to the 21st position to add Iowa cornerback Cooper DeJean. They graded the Packers’ selection of DeJean as an “A+” choice for Green Bay, with the move necessary so the Packers could “leapfrog some defensive back-needy teams in the Philadelphia Eagles at No. 22, the Minnesota Vikings (who currently hold the No. 23 overall pick) and the Dallas Cowboys at No. 24.” As for the Dolphins, in exchange for the 21st pick, PFF projects the Packers to send to Miami the 25th overall pick, the 169th selection (5th round compensatory pick), and a 2025th third-round pick. How would you grade the Dolphins’ move back in the draft, adding a fifth-round selection for this year and a third-round pick in next year’s draft?

1 day ago Did the NFL just cost Skylar Thompson a Dolphins roster spot?
Photo by Megan Briggs/Getty Images The NFL made several rule changes this week at the annual owners meeting. One of them may guarantee the Miami Dolphins cut quarterback Skylar Thompson. The Miami Dolphins have until September to reduce their roster from the offseason limit of 90 players to the regular season limit of 53. Several tough decisions must be made this summer as the team finds the right combination of depth and production from each position group. On Tuesday, the NFL may have guaranteed that one Dolphins player will not make it to the 53-man roster. The Dolphins selected quarterback Sylar Thompson in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Kansas State. He had a strong preseason as a rookie, making the 53-man roster as the third quarterback behind Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater. He played in eight games that year, starting three times, including the Dolphins’ playoff game against the Buffalo Bills, as injuries sidelined both quarterbacks ahead of him on the depth chart. Thompson again made the roster in 2023 as the third quarterback behind Tagovailoa and Mike White. The league brought back the “emergency” quarterback rule for last season, allowing teams to list a quarterback as inactive for the game but have them dressed and ready to play if the starter and active backup quarterbacks sustained injuries during the game. Miami utilized Thompson in that role, having him available throughout the season, though he made no appearances in a game. The NFL announced on Tuesday several rule changes that were approved during the league’s annual owners meeting. One of them may keep Thompson from the 53-man roster for the first time in his career. Under the bylaw changes, the league updated Article XVII, Section 17.3, changing a major piece in the emergency quarterback rule and the practice squad elevation rules. According to the summary of bylaw changes, the update, proposed by the league’s Competition Committee, “expand[s] the Standard Elevation rules to permit clubs to elevate a bona fide Quarterback an unlimited number of times from its practice squad to its Active List to be its Emergency Third Quarterback.” According to the 2023 rules governing the emergency quarterback, he had to be on the 53-man roster. In 2024, the emergency quarterback could be on the practice squad and elevated for the game. The league also modified the elevation rule, previously allowing players only to be elevated three times throughout the season. With this change, now the quarterback can be available every week, without having to be added to the 53-man roster after being elevated a third time. The emergency quarterback would still count against a team’s weekly two-player limit for elevations. If on the practice squad, the emergency quarterback could also be signed by another NFL team to their 53-man roster. Both of those situations could force the Dolphins to use the roster space to keep Thompson available for the week, while preventing him from being signed by another team and allowing the Dolphins to elevate two non-quarterbacks each week. This situation could have huge ramifications for Thompson. The 2024 season is the third year of his four-year rookie contract, which includes a base salary of $985,000, or just under $58,000 per game during the year. Thompson has two accrued seasons in the league, which moves him into the second tier of practice squad salaries. However, if he were to be signed to the practice squad, he would likely negotiate for a salary of around $18,000 per week - maybe as high as $22,000. Thompson is heading into his third season in the NFL and his third season in the same offense. This is the year when players typically take a big step forward in their development. Could Miami see that kind of breakout from Thompson? Would the Dolphins risk a team poaching Thompson off their practice squad? Decisions have to be made, but it is possible the league just made a decision that could have a major impact on Thompson.
