Five Points Short, Bigger Questions: Miami Dolphins Film Review & Lions Preview
The Miami Dolphins lost 24–19 to the New England Patriots after taking a 13–3 lead into halftime. But what does the film reveal beyond the final score? Are Jeff Hafley’s Dolphins making meaningful progress—or are protection problems, costly penalties and unfinished defensive plays keeping that progress from becoming wins?
Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber, Kyle Crabbs, Jeff Zgonina and Wes Goldberg break it all down on the Dolphins Squad Show’s film-review Wednesday edition. Kyle and Z bring their film observations, while GRIES and Wes press the questions surrounding Miami’s execution, development, coaching decisions and next steps.
We start with Ollie Gordon II’s costly unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty, the sideline reaction and the accountability conversations that followed. What should we make of Hafley’s handling of the situation—and Malik Willis stepping in to address his teammate?
Then we examine Willis’ performance and the offense around him. He finished with 211 passing yards and two touchdowns, but Miami struggled to sustain production after halftime. How much responsibility belongs to the quarterback, the protection and Bobby Slowik’s offensive approach? What did Kadyn Proctor’s absence change, and what does the tape show about Jarrett Kingston, Aaron Brewer and Jonah Savaiinaea?
Defensively, Chop Robinson delivered two sacks, Jacob Rodriguez forced a fumble and Miami’s young players continued to create opportunities. We revisit Chris Johnson’s missed blitz sack, his fourth-down tackle that was overturned,
Plus: the latest verified injury updates, Proctor’s concussion-protocol status, roster and trade discussions, special teams and the transition to Sunday’s matchup with the Detroit Lions.
