The Dolphins Are 0-4… So Why Are Juice & Bo So Optimistic? | Fish Tank x Out to Pasture08 Oct 202600:30:07

The Miami Dolphins are 0-4, but two Dolphins legends believe there's more reason for optimism than the record suggests.


In the first-ever Out to Pasture x Fish Tank Crossover, Kim Bokamper and O.J. McDuffie join forces to break down the current state of the Miami Dolphins, the team's promising young talent, and the culture being built under head coach Jeff Hafley and general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan.


Despite four straight losses, Bo and Juice see a team that's improving, competing, and developing the kind of leadership and accountability they believe has been missing in Miami.


In this episode:


Why the Dolphins' 0-4 record doesn't tell the whole story


How Jeff Hafley and his coaching staff are changing the culture in Miami


Why Jacob Rodriguez is drawing comparisons to Zach Thomas


The emergence of young players like Kadyn Proctor, Chris Bell, Chris Johnson, and Ollie Gordon II.


What's holding Malik Willis and his young receivers back—and why O.J. believes better chemistry will come with experience


Why the Dolphins' locker room leadership looks different from previous seasons


How Bo and Juice's experiences playing in the NFL shape their views on Miami's rebuild


Why the upcoming matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals could present an opportunity for the Dolphins' first victory


From stories about playing alongside Dan Marino to the importance of veteran leadership and building a winning culture, Bo and Juice offer the kind of insight that only two former Dolphins players can provide.


Are the Dolphins finally building something sustainable, or is an 0-4 start simply too much to overlook?


Let us know what YOU think in the comments!

Dolphins Defense Is WAKING UP… But Can Malik Willis & the Offense Catch Up? | Fish Tank LIVE08 Oct 202601:09:25

The Miami Dolphins are 0-4, but something is starting to change in Miami. Jeff Hafley's defense is showing signs of life, young playmakers are stepping up, and the team is becoming more competitive. But can Malik Willis and the Dolphins offense catch up?

On this episode of Fish Tank LIVE, former Miami Dolphins wide receiver O.J. McDuffie joins Seth Levit, Mike Oliva, and Producer Sevach to break down the Dolphins' ongoing rebuild, their frustrating loss to the Minnesota Vikings, and the biggest questions surrounding Miami's future.

ON THE MENU:

The Defense Is Waking Up! — Chop Robinson, Zach Sieler, Jacob Rodriguez, and Miami's young defenders are showing real promise. Is Jeff Hafley's vision finally coming together?

Malik Willis Under Fire — Four games into the season, some fans are already questioning Miami's quarterback. Is the criticism justified, or are expectations completely out of control?

Hafley Isn't Playing Around — Miami's head coach is demanding accountability and bringing a no-nonsense attitude to this rebuild. Is that exactly what this franchise needs? 

Reinforcements Incoming? — Kenneth Grant and Storm Duck return to practice. What could their eventual return mean for an improving defense?

Trust the Process or Hit the Panic Button? — The Dolphins are winless, but they've faced a brutal early schedule. Are fans overlooking the progress happening right in front of them?

I TRIED TO TELL Y’ALL! — Sevach channels The Fast and the Furious to explain why rebuilding the Dolphins might require a little more patience, while Mike takes aim at the NFL's growing officiating problem.

And, somehow, a Dolphins podcast bowling showdown becomes a very real possibility. Because of course it does.

THE BIG QUESTION: Are the Dolphins finally laying the foundation for something special, or is the offense holding back an otherwise promising rebuild?

Drop your thoughts in the comments! Is Malik Willis getting a fair shake? And what has impressed you most about Miami's young defense?

Are Dolphins Fans Giving Up on Malik Willis Too Soon? | Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover06 Oct 202600:28:33

The Miami Dolphins are 0-4, and Malik Willis is taking plenty of heat from Dolphins fans. But is the quarterback really the biggest problem in Miami?

On this week’s Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and Mike Oliva tackle the growing debate surrounding Willis and whether four games—with a young receiving corps, an inconsistent offensive line and now no De’Von Achane—is nearly enough to determine if he can become Miami’s quarterback of the future.

Nobody is saying Willis has been good enough. But the guys push back on the idea that the Dolphins have already seen enough to move on. They break down the plays that don’t necessarily show up in his stat line, including the spectacular would-be touchdown to Chris Bell, and discuss what Willis has shown with his mobility and ability to escape pressure. As Juice puts it, Willis still has to prove he’s “the guy”—but he deserves the opportunity to do it.

The conversation also turns to the 2027 NFL Draft and why assuming Miami can simply replace Willis with a first-round quarterback may not be nearly as simple as some fans believe. Plus, what could Willis look like next season with more weapons, a healthier roster and Miami finally having resources to continue rebuilding around him?

And there ARE reasons for optimism despite the 0-4 record. Ollie Gordon II is making the most of his opportunity and could form a dangerous one-two punch with Achane in the future, while young players on Jeff Hafley’s defense are beginning to show real signs of development.

Four games. Four losses. But Miami’s first four opponents are a combined 15-1, and this was always supposed to be a developmental season.

Can the Dolphins’ O-Line Survive Brian Flores Without Achane? | Fish Tank LIVE01 Oct 202601:17:47

With De’Von Achane sidelined, it’s time for the Miami Dolphins’ offensive line to take over.

O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chris Perkins, Mike Oliva, Chad Van Horn and The Legendary Sevach break down what Miami’s offense needs to do without its biggest playmaker as the Dolphins prepare for a difficult road matchup against the Minnesota Vikings and former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores.

Perk explains why the offensive line—with Aaron Brewer, Patrick Paul, Kadyn Proctor and company—may now be the most important unit on the offense. Miami still wants to establish the run, but doing it against Flores’ aggressive, blitz-heavy defense will put the offensive line’s communication and development to the test while also taking pressure off Malik Willis.

The crew also dives into the Brian Flores revenge-game storyline and what his history in Miami could mean for Sunday’s matchup. Plus, Juice explains why Miami’s young receivers will play a critical role in recognizing blitzes and giving Willis answers when Minnesota brings pressure.

Later, Brian Miller of Phin Phanatic joins the Tank to defend his list of the 25 most beloved Dolphins of all time. Dan Marino or Larry Csonka at No. 1? Where should Ricky Williams rank? And is O.J. McDuffie at No. 12 way too low?

Plus, the Van Horn Law Group Legal Zone tackles the NFL’s nearly $15,000 fine for Kyle Juszczyk’s controversial celebration, and “I Tried to Tell Y’all” gets serious as Juice shares his personal experience with concussions during his NFL career.

Life Without De’Von Achane | Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover28 Sep 202600:26:50

The Miami Dolphins showed signs of progress against the Kansas City Chiefs, but the biggest story coming out of the game was a devastating one: De’Von Achane is lost for the season.

On the latest Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and Mike Oliva react to the loss of Miami’s most explosive offensive weapon and examine what life without Achane could mean for the Dolphins for the remainder of 2026.

Can Ollie Gordon II step into the RB1 role? How much can Miami ask of Jaylen Wright when he returns? Could Malik Washington become a bigger part of the running game? And with Achane no longer commanding the attention of opposing defenses, how much more difficult does life become for Malik Willis and Miami’s young receiving corps? how-much-will-miami-miss-achane

The guys also discuss some encouraging developments from the loss to Kansas City, including an offensive line beginning to establish a physical identity, signs of second-half improvement from Jeff Hafley’s defense, and impressive flashes from young defenders Jacob Rodriguez and Michael Taaffe. Despite an 0-3 start, are we beginning to see this young Dolphins team take meaningful steps forward? how-much-will-miami-miss-achane

Plus, Juice breaks down the controversial penalty involving Travis Kelce, the crew looks ahead to another difficult matchup against Minnesota, and the Dolphins prepare to find out just how much they can accomplish without the player who had become the centerpiece of their offense.

Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover brings together O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and Mike Oliva each week for an unfiltered conversation about the Miami Dolphins.

Where’s the Pass Rush? Hafley, Chop & the Dolphins’ Defensive Problems | Fish Tank LIVE24 Sep 202601:12:16

Two games into the season, the Miami Dolphins have plenty of issues to sort out—but few are more glaring than a pass rush that simply hasn’t gotten home.

O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chad Van Horn, Mike Oliva, and The Legendary Sevach break down Jeff Hafley’s struggling defensive front and ask what Miami can do to generate pressure with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs coming to town. With Chop Robinson returning to practice, Juice explains why it’s time for the former first-round pick to start making his presence felt—and why pressures can be nearly as valuable as sacks for a secondary that can’t be asked to cover forever.

The crew also examines the bigger challenge facing Hafley: Miami’s defensive front isn’t just struggling to rush the passer—it needs to be better against the run, too. Is this a scheme problem, or does Hafley simply not have enough proven personnel to execute what he wants to do?

Plus, the guys discuss why Dolphins fans may be judging Malik Willis too quickly, the growing pains of Miami’s young receivers, the latest injury news on Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell, the disastrous start for the special teams unit, and which Dolphins rookies have been the biggest surprises through two games.

And in “I Tried to Tell Y’all,” The Legendary Sevach channels Tupac to remind Dolphins fans that if they wanted real change after the old approach failed, they may have to live through the uncomfortable part of a rebuild before they see the results.

The Dolphins knew this season would require patience. But with Mahomes coming to Miami, the defense doesn’t have much time to find some answers.

Sure, It’s Bad… But These Ain’t the 2019 Dolphins | Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover21 Sep 202600:45:21

The Miami Dolphins are 0-2, the losses haven’t been pretty, and frustration is already boiling over. But are the comparisons to the infamous 2019 "Tank for Tua" Dolphins really fair?

O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and DolphinsTalk’s Mike Oliva reunite for another Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover to break down what’s actually happening with this young Dolphins roster — and why it may be way too early to start burning everything down.

The guys examine the biggest differences between this rebuild and 2019, what Malik Willis is really dealing with behind a struggling offensive line and inexperienced receiving corps, and why Miami’s inability to generate a pass rush could be one of the biggest concerns on the entire roster.

They also discuss Jeff Hafley and Bobby Slowik through two games, the disappointing play in the trenches, costly special teams mistakes, whether Austin Jackson’s job should be in jeopardy, and why making declarations about Willis — or already looking ahead to Arch Manning and the 2027 NFL Draft — makes little sense in September.

The Dolphins may not be good right now. Nobody is pretending otherwise. But as Juice puts it: “Everybody just chill the hell out.”

Is this simply a young team going through growing pains, or have you already seen enough to be concerned about the direction of the rebuild?

Don’t Panic Yet: Dolphins Rookies SHINE Before Huge 49ers Test | Fish Tank LIVE17 Sep 202601:19:50

The Miami Dolphins may have left Las Vegas with a loss, but Week 1 gave us our first real look at what this young team could become.

And despite the final score… there were flashes. Jacob Rodriguez looked comfortable in the middle of the defense. Caleb Douglas continued to make his case. Miami’s young players stepped up in big moments, and Malik Willis showed enough athleticism, toughness and arm talent to make the conversation around his future a LOT more interesting. But this is still a rebuild — and there were plenty of reminders. The pass rush disappeared. The offensive and defensive lines struggled. And Miami’s special teams were anything BUT special, nearly surrendering multiple huge returns and repeatedly putting the Dolphins in terrible situations. So what happens now?

The Dolphins stayed out West, headed to Napa and now prepare for an even tougher Week 2 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. On this episode of Fish Tank LIVE, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, The Legendary Sevach, Mike Oliva and Sun Sentinel columnist Chris Perkins break down:

•What we actually learned from the Week 1 loss to the Raiders

•The impressive debut of Miami’s rookie class

•What Malik Willis showed — and where he still needs to grow

•The Dolphins’ alarming special-teams problems

•Jacob Rodriguez’s impressive first NFL game

•Caleb Douglas and Miami’s young playmakers

•What a REAL NFL rebuild actually looks like

•What improvement should look like from Week 1 to Week 2

•And whether this young Dolphins team can hang with the San Francisco 49ers

This season was never going to be a finished product in September. Week 1 was the baseline. Now we find out whether Miami can start stacking bricks. The bond don’t break.

Fish Tank Iconic: The Game We Needed | The Dolphins, the Raiders and Football's First Sunday After 9/1111 Sep 202601:28:05

Just 12 days after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, the Miami Dolphins and Oakland Raiders took the field at Pro Player Stadium as the NFL returned to action. What followed was an unforgettable football game played at a moment when sports meant something far beyond the final score.

In Fish Tank Iconic: The Game We Needed, Seth Levit and O.J. McDuffie commemorate the 25th anniversary of September 11 through a Miami Dolphins lens by revisiting that extraordinary afternoon through the firsthand memories of 19 people who lived it. Together, they chronicle the shock of September 11, the NFL's decision to postpone its games, the uncertainty surrounding its return, unprecedented security, an emotional national anthem, and a remarkable game that produced an ending no one could have scripted.

Dolphins quarterback Jay Fiedler, a New York native personally impacted by the attacks, is joined by Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon, the game's two head coaches in Dave Wannstedt and Jon Gruden, Pro Football Hall of Famers Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas, All-Pro cornerback Patrick Surtain, Oronde Gadsden, James McKnight, Todd Wade, Dedric Ward and Trace Armstrong, along with South Florida journalists Greg Cote, Dave Hyde and Mike Mayo, and other members of the Dolphins organization from that time period.

With five seconds remaining, Fiedler dove across the goal line to complete an improbable 80-yard game-winning drive and provide an enduring image of one extraordinary afternoon.

This isn't a story about a football game healing a nation. It's the story of what sports could offer in that moment: something familiar, a reason to come together, and a chance - even if only for a few hours- to feel joy again.

Twenty-five years later, this is Fish Tank Iconic: The Game We Needed.

Jay Fiedler Returns! Dolphins-Raiders Then & Now + Malik Willis’ Miami Debut | Fish Tank LIVE10 Sep 202601:07:45

TheMiami Dolphins are officially back — and what better way to kick off the2026 NFL season than Dolphins vs. Raiders with Jay Fiedler joining us LIVE brought to you by Van Horn Law Group (https://www.vanhornlawgroup.com/) and Casa Bella Design Group (https://casabelladg.com/)?

With Miami preparing for itsseason opener against the Las Vegas Raiders,former Dolphins quarterback Jay Fiedler joins O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chris Perkins and the Fish Tank crew to break down this young Dolphins roster, Malik Willis, Miami’s rookie wide receivers and what to expect as the Jeff Hafley/Jon-Eric Sullivan era officially begins. Jay gives a quarterback’s perspective on Malik Willis, including the challenge ofbuilding trust with a young receiving corps featuring rookies Chris Bell and Caleb Douglas, while O.J. explains why Miami’s receivers may have to prove themselves as blockers before anything else.

But Dolphins vs. Raiders carries some serious history, too.Twenty-five years ago, Fiedler — a native New Yorker — led Miami against theRaiders in one of the most emotional games in franchise history as the NFL returned to action following the September 11 attacks.Jay reflects on that experience, what he remembers from 9/11, the responsibility the Dolphins felt when football returned, and why that game became about much more than football.

The crew also previews Fish Tank Iconic: The Game We Needed, an upcoming audio documentary chronicling that unforgettable Dolphins-Raiders game through the voices of Fiedler, Jason Taylor, Zach Thomas, Dave Wannstedt, Jon Gruden and many more.

The Dolphins Told Us This Was Coming…So Why Is Everyone Freaking Out?03 Sep 202601:08:22

The Miami Dolphins told everyone what was coming. Now that the rebuild is actually here, why is everyone so surprised?

O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chris Perkins, Mike Oliva and Chad Van Horn break down Jon-Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley’s aggressive roster overhaul as Miami continues getting younger, churning the bottom of the roster and reshaping the team in their image. Is this simply what a true rebuild looks like—or are the Dolphins making too many changes at once?

The crew digs into the completely revamped quarterback room, the decision to move on from Quinn Ewers, Kyle McCord’s arrival behind Malik Willis and the challenge of getting new quarterbacks ready with the regular season already here. They also identify their biggest concerns entering Week 1, including Miami’s youth, an uncertain pass rush and major questions in the secondary.

Plus, Juice takes everyone back to school with an “I Tried to Tell Y’all” lesson on roster math: addition, subtraction, division, multiplication—and the 53 players left when the equation is finished.

The rebuild is no longer theoretical. This is what it looks like.

Which Dolphins Roster Move Caught Our Attention? | Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover01 Sep 202600:30:59

The regular season is here, and the Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover is back!

With the Miami Dolphins’ roster undergoing some significant last-minute changes, Mike Oliva, O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit each reveal the one move that caught their attention — and what it could tell us about the direction of the new regime.

Mike weighs in on the release of Tyrel Dodson and what it says about the Dolphins’ confidence in rookie linebacker Jacob Rodriguez. O.J. explains why he raised an eyebrow when the Dolphins moved on from Ethan Bonner. And Seth dives into Miami’s complete overhaul at backup quarterback, including the departure of Quinn Ewers and the addition of Kyle McCord.

The guys also discuss Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan’s early roster philosophy, the influence of Sullivan’s years in Green Bay, Miami’s willingness to move on when players don’t meet the standard, and why the roster churn may not be over yet.

The games finally count. What will this new-look Dolphins roster look like when the regular season begins?

Tua Returns to Hard Rock Stadium...What Kind of Reception Should He Get? | Fish Tank LIVE27 Aug 202601:11:21

Tua Tagovailoa is coming back to Miami — only this time, he’ll be wearing the wrong colors.

With Tua set to return to Hard Rock Stadium as a member of the Atlanta Falcons, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chad Van Horn, Mike Oliva and The Legendary Sevach debate the question dividing Dolphins fans: Should Tua get booed when he takes the field? The crew looks back at Tua’s complicated relationship with Miami, why emotions surrounding the former Dolphins quarterback remain so strong, and where the line should be drawn between sports fandom and making things personal.

But Tua’s return also raises a much bigger question: Did the Dolphins make the right decision by moving on? With uncertainty behind Malik Willis at quarterback, would Miami actually be better off with Tua still on the roster — especially when the Dolphins are paying him anyway? The guys explain why keeping him may have created exactly the kind of distraction Jeff Hafley and Miami’s new leadership are trying to eliminate.

Then the focus shifts to the Dolphins themselves. After an ugly performance against the Giants, Juice explains what he needs to see from Miami’s roster hopefuls in the preseason finale — more physicality, fewer mental mistakes, better special teams play and, above all, players proving they actually belong on the 53-man roster.

Plus, the latest “I Tried to Tell Y’all” looks at the identity Hafley may be building in Miami. Inspired by Miami HEAT legend Udonis Haslem’s visit to Dolphins headquarters, Seth examines a roster filled with overlooked players, late-round picks and veterans on prove-it deals — from Malik Willis and Aaron Brewer to Zach Sieler and others — and asks whether a team without many traditional superstars can build something around toughness, sacrifice and players who came up the hard way.

Tua is coming back. The preseason is ending. And the new-look Miami Dolphins are about to find out exactly what they have.

Outplayed, Not Punked | Dolphins Depth Chart & Commanders Takeaways13 Aug 202601:18:46

The Dolphins may not have won the day against Washington, but O.J. McDuffie and the Fish Tank LIVE crew saw something encouraging: this young Miami team competed physically and refused to get pushed around. The guys break down what they learned from the Commanders joint practice, including another impressive showing from Caleb Douglas, before diving into Miami’s first depth chart and what it could reveal about players like Jacob Rodriguez, Kenneth Grant, Trey Moore and Willie Gay.

Plus, Juice shares a player’s perspective on what that first depth chart really means inside an NFL meeting room—and why where a player is listed can provide plenty of motivation.

The Dolphins’ New Era Is Official: Daniel Sillman Takes the Reins | Fish Tank LIVE06 Aug 202601:21:04

The Miami Dolphins’ sweeping organizational transformation now reaches the very top.

With Daniel Sillman assuming a larger leadership role and Tom Garfinkel transitioning from president and CEO to vice chairman, the Dolphins have placed an exclamation point on the beginning of a new era. O.J. McDuffie, Chris Perkins, Mike Oliva and The Legendary Sevach discuss what the change means for the franchise, why Steve Ross deserves credit for embracing such a dramatic overhaul, and whether Sillman’s arrival will finally produce a different approach to football operations. The crew also recognizes Garfinkel’s highly successful tenure overseeing the organization’s business ventures, including the stadium transformation and the growth of major events surrounding the Dolphins.

The conversation then moves to the field, where Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan continue establishing their vision through teaching, competition, accountability and constant roster evaluation. The guys break down Austin Jackson’s latest injury, whether Miami should begin preparing Kadyn Proctor at right tackle, Jacob Rodriguez’s impressive start, the emerging competition at linebacker and the position groups that remain the biggest concerns.

Plus, the panel discusses:

  • Why this may be the most comprehensive Dolphins reset in decades
  • How Hafley’s hands-on coaching style is connecting with players
  • The young defenders pushing established veterans for playing time
  • What a successful rebuilding season should actually look like
  • Another spirited edition of “I Tried to Tell Y’all”

Chris Perkins Made His Case... O.J. and Seth Weren't Buying It | Fish Tank LIVE09 Jul 202601:08:53

Chris Perkins made a bold case in a recent Sun-Sentinel column: the Miami Dolphins may already have the foundation of their next great leadership trio. On this episode of Fish Tank LIVE, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, Chris Perkins, Chad Van Horn, and The Legendary Sevach dive into the debate—and not everyone is convinced.

Can De'Von Achane, Aaron Brewer, and Jordyn Brooks become the type of leaders who change the trajectory of a franchise in the way Dan Marino, Jason Taylor, and Zach Thomas did? Or is it simply too early to compare this group to the Dolphins icons who defined previous eras?

The crew also discusses:

  • ESPN ranking the Dolphins' roster among the NFL's weakest
  • Whether De'Von Achane deserves more respect as one of the league's elite running backs
  • Why Aaron Brewer has quietly become one of the team's most important voices
  • Jeff Hafley's impact on the culture and accountability of the organization
  • O.J.'s unforgettable training camp stories from Rolling Hills
  • Another spirited edition of "I Tried to Tell Y'all"

Should the Dolphins Pay Jordyn Brooks NOW? O.J., Seth & Mike Debate | Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover15 Jun 202600:28:45

The Miami Dolphins have already rewarded De'Von Achane and Aaron Brewer with new contracts, but one foundational piece is still waiting...

Should Jordyn Brooks be next?

On this Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk crossover, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit, and Mike Oliva debate whether the Dolphins should give Brooks a contract extension now, wait until later, or potentially explore other options.

Brooks was arguably Miami's best defensive player in 2025, but with a new regime in place, a youth movement underway, and three linebackers drafted this year, is committing long-term money the right move?

The guys discuss Brooks' value on and off the field, the impact he has on a young defense, salary cap implications, trade rumors, and whether the Dolphins can afford to let one of their leaders walk.

Should Miami pay Jordyn Brooks now... or be patient?

Terron Armstead: I Wanted to Go Out on My Terms09 Jun 202600:39:58

Former Miami Dolphins captain and five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Terron Armstead dives into The Fish Tank with O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit for an honest conversation about football, leadership, injuries, retirement, and his transition into the media world.

Armstead opens up about launching The Set, the realities of building a podcast from scratch, and the challenges of moving from the locker room to the media side of the game. He also shares his perspective on Mike McDaniel’s leadership style, the Dolphins' explosive 2023 season, and why injuries—not schemes—ultimately derailed a team that once looked like a Super Bowl contender.

Most powerfully, Armstead reveals the physical toll of a 12-year NFL career, including learning before the 2024 season that his knee would eventually need to be replaced. Rather than walk away, he made a decision to finish on his own terms, relying on experience, preparation, and mental toughness to battle through one final season.

Robert Jones: That Dolphins Defense Was Something Special17 Mar 202601:13:43

Former Miami Dolphins linebacker Robert Jones joins O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit for one of the most powerful conversations the show has ever had.

Jones looks back on his time in Miami from 1998–2000, where he became a key part of a ferocious Dolphins defense alongside Zach Thomas, Jason Taylor, and Tim Bowens under head coach Jimmy Johnson. From the legendary defensive performance against the Raiders in 1998 to the blue-collar mentality that defined that era of Dolphins football, Jones shares stories about what made that unit so tough.

Jones also reflects on entering the league with the powerhouse Dallas Cowboys, playing alongside legends like Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin, and what it was like being part of one of football’s most dominant teams of the 1990s.

But this episode goes far beyond the field.

Robert opens up about an incredibly tragic childhood — including the murder of his mother by his father — and how those experiences shaped the man, husband, and father he has become. He explains how football became his path to building the life he never had, and why his true dream in the NFL wasn’t fame or championships, but simply creating a stable and loving family.

Along the way, Jones shares unforgettable stories about chasing down intruders before a game, battling fullbacks like Sam Gash, learning from Dolphins legends like Dan Marino, and the mentality that made those late-90s Dolphins defenses one of the most physical units in football.

It turned into one of the most star-studded episodes of Fish Tank LIVE yet!

Seth Levit was joined by ESPN NFL Reporter Jeff Darlington and Sun-Sentinel columnist Chris Perkins to break down the Miami Dolphins’ latest quarterback decisions and the team’s uncertain path forward.

Richie Incognito: We’re One Big F&*ked Up Family!17 Feb 202600:58:20

Former Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito joins O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit for a powerful and honest conversation, reflecting on the Bullygate scandal that rocked the Dolphins organization—and his role at the center of it.

Incognito speaks openly about what he got wrong, what he’s learned since, and how that moment forced him to confront his behavior, his mental health, and the way he led inside a locker room. He explains how accountability, structure, and support helped him evolve—not just as a football player, but as a man.

The episode also explores:

  • Richie’s time in Miami and earning a Pro Bowl
  • Leadership, locker-room culture, and where lines get crossed
  • Mental health, asking for help, and personal responsibility
  • How he views his legacy today versus how he was viewed then
