Summary

Miami Dolphins shake up their offensive identity—can a revamped ground game and rising quarterback talent spark a turnaround? Kyle Crabbs breaks out the confidence meter, rating each position group and predicting improvements at quarterback, running back, tight end, and across a retooled offensive line. Will Malik Willis, Quinn Ewers, and a deeper backfield led by De’Von Achane deliver more explosive plays and limit costly turnovers? Or will concerns at wide receiver hold the team back? Key topics include Tua Tagovailoa’s regression, expectations for Greg Dulcich’s role at tight end, and the question marks surrounding the receiving corps after Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Kyle Crabbs also tackles stats on giveaways, sack rates, and Miami’s run-heavy shift under new leadership. Does this new approach give the Dolphins an edge in the AFC East, or will offensive growing pains define 2026?

0:00.0	In an offseason full of questions, I do have a few things that I am very confident on.
0:07.0	We're going to talk about the offensive side of the ball here and now.

We are breaking out the confidence meter on the offensive side of the ball here on today's show. but tomorrow we'll do the defense side of the ball. But we're looking. Tomorrow we'll do the defensive side of the ball.
0:55.5	But we're looking at the offensive line,
0:57.1	the skill players, the quarterback play.
0:59.2	How confident are we that the performance that we'll get in 2026
1:03.2	is better than the performance that we got in 2025?
1:07.0	And I think the start here,
1:09.6	you look at some statistical stuff.
1:11.3	We'll go through the actual rooms and the names.
1:14.1	And I'll give a one through 10, 10 being the most confident, one being the least confident,
1:19.0	that things are going to be better than they were last year in that room with the talent that's available.
1:24.1	But I just want to start with some overall offensive performance metrics like the Dolphins last year, right, 27th in the NFL in giveaways, 24 giveaways.
1:35.2	They were 29th in interceptions thrown with 18. I'm like an 8 out of 10 that they are going to be better in that area in 2026 than they were in 2025.
1:46.9	Because it's going to be about simplicity.
1:49.4	It's going to be about getting back to basics.
1:51.7	It's going to be not beating ourselves.
1:53.0	We're going to run the ball more.
1:55.6	So I would suspect that we are going to be more secure with the ball in 2026 as compared to last year,
2:04.8	where obviously they had three turnovers against the Colts, three turnovers against the
2:10.9	chargers, four turnovers against the Browns, three turnovers against the Ravens,
2:14.1	three turnovers against the Bengals, like some catastrophic games.
