DOLPHINS SQUAD SHOW: Winless Dolphins Must Turn the Corner: What Has to Change Against the Jets?
Locked On Dolphins - Daily Podcast On The Miami DolphinsShow Notes
The bye week is over, and the Miami Dolphins are turning their attention to the New York Jets and their first AFC East game of the season. On today’s Dolphins Squad Show, GRIES, Kyle Crabbs, Jeff Zgonina and Wes Goldberg break down what Miami needs to improve now: generating pressure and sacks, getting off the field on third down, forcing turnovers, protecting the football, creating explosive plays and eliminating drive-killing penalties.
We also discuss Jeff Hafley’s self-scout and his comments about revisiting plays from training camp that the Dolphins have not yet used in game plans. What could change on defense? What can the offense clean up? And what must Miami do to make the work from the bye week show up against the Jets?
Plus, we preview the first division matchup, track the latest injury and practice news, revisit the Dolphins–Jets rivalry, and close with the strangest NFL story of the week: the NFC East going two straight weeks without a win, including a 27–27 overtime tie between the Giants and Commanders.
