Miami is coming off a disappointing 2024 campaign. What's the vibe for 2025?
Spoiler alert: Almost all not good.
Dolphins, Team Vibes
- Good - 2 votes
- Neutral - 6 votes
- Bad - 6 votes
Staffers with Good Vibes
- Maurile Tremblay: Tagovailoa is healthy, McDaniel's motion-heavy scheme still features Achane, Hill, and Waddle, and most indicators project a top-10 bounce-back offense.
- Phil Alexander: But it all hinges on Tua Tagovailoa's health (sorry, Zach Wilson).
Staffers with Neutral Vibes
- Hutchinson Brown: It feels like this team is in a strange purgatory of being good enough to potentially make the playoffs, but not good enough to go far.
- Andy Hicks: Things could go off the rails quickly in Miami. Depth is unproven.
- David Zacharias: Even with the 5th-best strength of schedule, the Dolphins are looking at a .500 season.
- Jeff Haseley: A healthy Tyreek Hill could elevate this team. Expect more from Miami if the defense matches the strengths of the offense.
- Ben Cummins: Tua Tagovailoa is a good quarterback when the surroundings around him can elevate him. That is a question in Miami, largely due to their poor offensive line.
- Jeff Blaylock: That's the gear the offense remains stuck in.
Staffers with Bad Vibes
- Jason Wood: Tua Tagovailoa is one head injury away from retiring, defenses caught up to Coach McDaniel's playbook, Tyreek Hill is unhappy, Jaylen Waddle can't stay on the field, and the offensive line is among the worst in the NFL.
- Tripp Brebner: The Dolphins seem to be in a make-or-break season with a fragile quarterback behind a flimsy offensive line, and Jalen Ramsey wants out.
- Kyle Bellefeuil: The combination of Tua Tagovailoa's history of head injuries and Miami's poor offensive line is a cause for concern.
- Jeff Bell: The Dolphins are 8-12 over their last 20 games and are dealing with persistent trade rumors for their best players.
- Craig Lakins: Everyone except Jonnu Smith is rebounding from a bummer of a season.
- Tipp Major: Is it possible for things in Miami to go from bad to worse? It seems like it, and HC Mike McDaniel is starting to feel the heat a little bit.
