DOLPHINS SQUAD SHOW: Dolphins Fall 27-13 to Raiders: Penalties, Sacks, Blown Chances Doom Miami

Miami Dolphins fans face a tough reality check as the youngest team in football falls 27-13 to the Las Vegas Raiders. Can growing pains fuel long-term success, or is another challenging season on the horizon? Kyle Crabbs breaks down the game’s most pressing issues, from Kirk Cousins exploiting soft middle coverage to struggles at the line of scrimmage and underwhelming special teams play that handed Vegas prime field position.Despite disappointment, promising signs emerge: Jacob Rodriguez tallies 14 tackles, Caleb Douglas matches a franchise debut receiving record, and rookies like Chris Johnson and Michael Taaffe show flashes of potential. Are these silver linings enough to keep Dolphins fans invested? With Jeff Hafley’s discipline-focused leadership and crucial matchups ahead—especially against the San Francisco 49ers—the focus shifts to player development and evaluating Miami’s new core as the franchise looks to build for the future.Image Credit: Kirby Lee - IMAGN Images00:00 Reacting to a tough game05:56 Defensive struggles and edge issues09:00 FanDuel Rewards and Game Analysis10:43 Malik Willis play style discussion15:38 Discussing special teams performance17:20 Rookie performance and defensive highlights23:05 Consequences for Taunting and Mistakes24:25 Discussion on taunting penalty and consequences29:24 Beginning the season's journeyEverydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

The Miami Dolphins opened the Jeff Hafley era with a frustrating 27-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, and the final score only tells part of the story.Host Jim "Gries" Grieshaber, Kyle Crabbs of Locked On Dolphins and former Miami Dolphin Jeff "Z" Zgonina break down a Week 1 game filled with missed opportunities, costly penalties and protection problems. Miami's defense intercepted Kirk Cousins twice, while the return game repeatedly created favorable field position — including a spectacular 79-yard Jaylen Wright kickoff return — but the Dolphins continually failed to turn those opportunities into points.Malik Willis finished 15-of-27 for 222 yards with one interception, added 39 rushing yards and Miami's only touchdown, but was sacked five times for 35 yards. De'Von Achane was held to 36 rushing yards on 11 carries, while Caleb Douglas emerged as one of Miami's brightest offensive performers with 5 catches for 94 yards.Defensively, Miami's youth was tested. Rookie linebacker Jacob Rodriguez led the Dolphins with 14 tackles, Chris Johnson recorded 11 tackles, a TFL and two passes defended, and young safeties Michael Taaffe and Dante Trader Jr. each intercepted Cousins.The Squad breaks down the game's turning point, Miami's inability to capitalize in Raiders territory, the offensive-line problems, the lack of a running game, the Raiders' success with Ashton Jeanty, and what Hafley's young Dolphins must correct before remaining out West to face the San Francisco 49ers next week.Raiders 27. Dolphins 13. Miami is 0-1 — and now the response matters.HASHTAGS#MiamiDolphins #Dolphins #FinsUp #NFL #MalikWillis #JeffHafley #LasVegasRaiders #DolphinsFootball #NFLWeek1 #LockedOnDolphins\*\*\*\*\* 'LIVE' Miami Dolphins Commentary + Analysis from Miami Dolphins Defensive Tackle Jeff “Z” Zgonina, Locked On Dolphins' Kyle Crabbs and Host Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber.We will be right here 'LIVE' with your DOLPHINS SQUAD SHOW every Wednesday at noon ET, and after every Miami Dolphins game.-----Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Butcher BoxIf you're looking for an easier way to get great meals on the table, give ButcherBox a try.Go to https://ButcherBox.com/LOCKEDONNFL to get $20 off your first box, plus your choice of free ribeye, new york strip, or filet mignon in every box for a year — with free shipping always.Fabletics Shop now at https://Fabletics.com/LOCKEDONNFL to get 70-80% off everything when you sign up as a new VIP.

Miami Dolphins’ 2026 playoff hopes take a major hit as Kyle Crabbs predicts a challenging 5-12 season. Can Jeff Hafley's squad defy the odds with captains like Patrick Paul, Aaron Brewer, and Malik Willis leading the charge? Matchups against the San Francisco 49ers, Buffalo Bills, and Green Bay Packers loom large, while the offensive line and lack of depth raise concerns about overcoming powerhouse offenses led by Joe Burrow, Justin Jefferson, and Jared Goff.Crabbs breaks down the season into “no way,” “probably not,” “hey, it could happen,” and “we’re winning” buckets, shedding light on winnable clashes with the New York Jets and Las Vegas Raiders. New England Patriots’ Drake Maye, and unpredictable injury impacts spark debate about Miami’s path forward.

The wait is over.The Jeff Hafley era officially begins Sunday as the Miami Dolphins head to Las Vegas for Week 1 against the Raiders — and this will be the first real look at one of the most dramatically rebuilt teams in the NFL.Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber is joined by Kyle Crabbs and former Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Jeff Zgonina for the official Dolphins Squad Show Week 1 pregame breakdown.Miami enters the season with a new head coach, a new starting quarterback in Malik Willis, roughly 35 players who were not active for the Dolphins in Week 1 last season, and young players being asked to take major roles immediately.Willis begins his first season as Miami’s QB1 after being voted a team captain alongside De’Von Achane, Aaron Brewer, Patrick Paul, Zach Sieler and Jordyn Brooks. The crew breaks down what Miami needs from Willis, how Bobby Slowik can build the offense around Achane, and whether young receivers Malik Washington, Chris Bell and Caleb Douglas are ready to make an immediate impact.Up front, one matchup looms over everything: Patrick Paul and Miami’s offensive line against Maxx Crosby. Can the Dolphins protect Willis, establish the run and prevent Crosby from taking over the game?Defensively, the matchup changed significantly when Raiders tight end Brock Bowers was ruled out following a knee procedure. That leaves Miami’s young defense facing veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins, running back Ashton Jeanty, and a Raiders receiving corps without its biggest weapon.Kyle and Z also break down rookie linebacker Jacob Rodriguez, who will wear the defensive green dot and relay Jeff Hafley’s calls in his first NFL start, plus the potential pass-rush opportunities for Chop Robinson and Zach Sieler.Finally, the guys make their official Week 1 predictions and hit the biggest stories from around the NFL after Seattle defeated New England and San Francisco dominated the Rams.The rebuild is over.The preseason is over.Now Jeff Hafley, Malik Willis and the new-look Miami Dolphins finally get judged on the scoreboard.#MiamiDolphins #Dolphins #FinsUp #DolphinsSquadShow #MalikWillis #JeffHafley #DeVonAchane #KyleCrabbs #JeffZgonina #Raiders #NFLWeek1\*\*\*\*\* 'LIVE' Miami Dolphins Commentary + Analysis from Miami Dolphins Defensive Tackle Jeff “Z” Zgonina, Locked On Dolphins' Kyle Crabbs and Host Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber.The Dolphins open the 2026 season in 2 weeks, and we will be right here 'LIVE' with your DOLPHINS SQUAD SHOW every Wednesday at noon ET, and after every Miami Dolphins game.-----Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!HomeChefFor a limited time, Home Chef is offering my listeners FIFTY PERCENT OFF and free shipping for your first box PLUS free dessert for life!

Massive roster overhauls, new head coaches, and quarterback questions set the stage as Kirk Cousins leads the Raiders while Malik Willis takes charge for the Dolphins.

Week 1 is finally here for the Miami Dolphins.After an offseason of massive roster turnover, a new coaching staff, a new starting quarterback and one of the youngest rosters in the NFL, Jeff Hafley’s Dolphins are preparing for their first real test against the Las Vegas Raiders.Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber is joined by Kyle Crabbs, former Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Jeff Zgonina, and Wes Goldberg to break down the biggest storylines heading into the season opener.Miami has selected its 2026 captains, with Malik Willis, De’Von Achane, Aaron Brewer, Patrick Paul, Zach Sieler and Jordyn Brooks chosen to lead the team. Willis enters Week 1 not only as Miami’s new QB1, but as a captain voted in by his teammates — a strong sign of how quickly he has earned trust inside the Dolphins locker room.The Squad also dives into Miami’s first regular-season depth chart and the youth movement that has become impossible to ignore.Rookies and young players including Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, Kadyn Proctor, Jacob Rodriguez, Dante Trader Jr. and Chris Johnson Jr. are being trusted with major starting roles immediately.Can Miami’s young wide receiver group surprise people? Could Malik Washington emerge as the team’s most reliable target? How quickly can Douglas and Bell make an impact? And why does Kyle believe tight end Will Kacmarek could quietly be an important part of Miami’s Week 1 offensive structure?The offensive matchup begins with De’Von Achane and Miami’s run game, but Las Vegas presents one enormous problem up front: Maxx Crosby. The crew discusses how Bobby Slowik can protect Willis and Miami’s young offensive line without limiting the offense.Defensively, the challenge is just as significant.Veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins will immediately test Miami’s young linebackers and secondary, while Brock Bowers presents one of the most difficult matchup problems in football. Rookie linebacker Jacob Rodriguez gets his first true NFL test after winning a starting job over veteran Tyrel Dodson.Kyle breaks down Miami’s personnel and matchup advantages, Z gives the former-player perspective on preparing for Week 1, and Wes brings the Dolphins fan pulse as Miami enters the season with extremely low national expectations.Plus, the NFL season kicks off tonight with Patriots-Seahawks, followed by 49ers-Rams in Australia before Miami takes the field Sunday.The preseason is over.The leaders have been chosen.The kids have been trusted.Now we find out what the Miami Dolphins actually built.#MiamiDolphins #Dolphins #FinsUp #DolphinsSquadShow #MalikWillis #JeffHafley #DeVonAchane #KyleCrabbs #JeffZgonina #WesGoldberg #NFLWeek1 #Raiders\*\*\*\*\* 'LIVE' Miami Dolphins Commentary + Analysis from Miami Dolphins Defensive Tackle Jeff “Z” Zgonina, Locked On Dolphins' Kyle Crabbs and Host Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber.The Dolphins open the 2026 season in 2 weeks, and we will be right here 'LIVE' with your DOLPHINS SQUAD SHOW every Wednesday at noon ET, and after every Miami Dolphins game.-----Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!HomeChefFor a limited time, Home Chef is offering my listeners FIFTY PERCENT OFF and free shipping for your first box PLUS free dessert for life!
