Which Of The MANY Questions About The 2026 Miami Dolphins Are MOST Likely To Be Insurmountable?

About this episode

Kyle Crabbs discusses the Miami Dolphins' challenges and uncertainties heading into the 2026 season.

Miami Dolphins enter 2026 with high volatility and mounting concerns—can Malik Willis lead a young, unproven offense past daunting odds? Kyle Crabbs spotlights the roster’s biggest question marks, from the uncertainty at wide receiver and offensive line depth to critical safety and pass rush issues. The lack of a proven “bucket getter” on the perimeter and doubts about the organic pass rush could spell trouble if early game scripts go negative. Key topics include the competition between Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon for third-down back duties, the development of young linemen like Jonah Savaiinaea, and defensive worries with Chop Robinson and the rebuilt safety group. Kyle Crabbs explores how Jeff Hafley’s coaching and potential leaps from Dante Trader and Kyle Louis could offset the Dolphins’ vulnerabilities. Will the Dolphins’ strategic approach and player development be enough to overcome these obstacles, or are several problem areas destined to derail their season?
