The Phinsider: for Miami Dolphins fans SB Nation

In today’s episode of Phinsider Radio, we open the show discussing Madden 2020: Fan edition. How outrageous would a video game featuring the fan experience at NFL games have to be for you to enjoy playing it? 
Ryan Fitzpatrick was in the training facility before dawn and Tua arrived with a fanny pack that could’ve been mistaken for a sling — when could we possibly see the rookie quarterback play this season? 
The Dolphins have made plenty of roster moves over the last week, including a trade featuring Tight End Adam Shaheen and the Chicago Bears. Coming over to the Dolphins is Javaris Davis, who was claimed off waivers.
Not only is Jarvaris the cousin of Vontae Davis, but the Dolphins originally wanted to sign the cornerback as an undrafted free agent. With the acquisition the Dolphins have Auburn’s 2019 cornerback duo after drafting Noah Igbinoghene in the first round of the NFL draft.
As players start to opt out of the 2020 NFL season the guys struggle to see how members of the New England Patriots are opting out just so the team can tank for projected 2021 first-overall pick Trevor Lawrence.
The guys dive into a recent trade involving Jamal Adams and the Seattle Seahawks..
How does the trade not only impact the Dolphins, but also Adam Gase’s chances of remaining as the coach of the Jets?
While people have been comparing this trade to Miami’s deal involving MInkah Fitzpartrick, the guys look at a few recent trades including Laremy Tunsil to the Texans in order to identify when we can see who won these trades.
Be sure to check out last week’s episode where the guys discuss Reshad Jones, some rookies to look out for in 2020 and the “Uncle Vante” debut.

In this episode of Phinsider Radio, Jake Mendel (@JMendel94) and I (@Houtz) give former Dolphins safety Reshad Jones a proper send-off. We discuss rookies reporting, what training camp will look like, and DeVante Parker’s cartoon series.
First, we discuss what an NFL offseason will look like without preseason games. How will that affect rookies and the rest of the 80-man roster? We then shift focus to the Robert Hunt signing and how important it is to get all of the rookies signed, sealed, and delivered before camp.
Next, we discuss Reshad Jones and his accomplishments throughout his 10-year-NFL career. Is he one of the best Dolphins in recent memories? What is our favorite memory of the Pro Bowl safety, and does he fit on the Ring of Honor?
We then tell you which player will exceed expectations and who will fall short in 2020.
Lastly, we discuss Canning Crowder’s comments on Tua Tagovailoa. We argue about why he should start in 2020. And we shout out to wide receiver #1 DeVante Parker, and his newly released cartoon ‘UncleVante.’

In this episode of Phinsider Radio, Jake Mendel and I discuss the latest news surrounding the 2020 Miami Dolphins.
First, we give you some of our feedback from the Madden 21 Beta. What do we like? What do we dislike? And will we be spending the $64 to play with Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa?!?!
Next, we take a deep dive into the rumored player ratings from MaddenSchool.com. Do we agree that Byron Jones is the best player on the roster? Why is Xavien Howard only rated an 82 overall? And if Stephon Gilmore is a 99, why is DeVante Parker only an 84?
The good, the bad, and the ugly: Madden 21 ratings
We then turn our attention to the Dolphins defensive line and Adam Rank’s latest article for NFL.com. Rank predicts Shaq Lawson could be the breakout player in Miami this season. Why we agree? And what we can expect from the young defensive end.
Lastly, we discuss the latest from Barry Jackson and what the Dolphins plan to do with Tagovailoa in 2020.

In this episode of Phinsider Radio, Jake Mendel (@JMendel94) and I (@Houtz) discuss the Dolphins 2020 running backs.
First, Jake and I discuss the Jordan Howard signing. What does his 2-year, $10-million deal mean? Is he a lock to be Miami’s goal-line back? What type of impact could he have in 2020? And can he show the world he’s a starting RB in the NFL?
We then turn our attention to Matt Breida. What can we expect from him in Gailey’s offense. Is he going to have a similar impact to Reggie Bush back in 2012? Can he prove that he’s the guy and could potentially net an extension.
Patrick Laird and Kalen Ballage are going into an important 2020 season. Can the former fourth-round pick make the roster? Will” the intern become the associate” and prove to be Miami’s Danny Woodhead.
Lastly we discuss Myles Gaskins and Malcolm Perry. Are both going to make the final roster? Can Gaskins show he belongs or is he better suited for the practice squad? And what can we expect from the Swiss Navy Knife. Do the Dolphins have a trick up their sleeve and where might he line up on offense.

In this episode of Phinsider Radio, Jake Mendel (@JMendel94) and I (@Houtz) are joined by Pro Football Network’s Matthew Cannata (@CannataPFN) to breakdown the Miami Dolphins wide receiver core.
But before we get started on Miami’s WRs, we allow Matthew Cannata to get some much-needed promotion out of the way.
You can follow him (@CannataPFN) and former co-host Aaron Sutton (@ASuttonPFN) at Pro Football Network. 
First up, we breakdown DeVante Parker’s impressive 2019 season. Is this the new norm? Can DVP build off his newfound success, or was it just a flash in the pan?
We then turn our attention to The Unicorn Preston Williams. Who, as I love to say, was on pace to shatter Jerry Rice’s rookie season before suffering an ACL injury RETURNING PUNTS!!!!! (Never Again) How is Williams rehab going? And what can we expect from the second-year WR if fully healthy?
Next, we give our unfiltered opinions on Jakeem Grant and Albert a Wilson. Is there room on the roster for both WRs after the 2020 season? Which WR do we like more, and what do the numbers say?
Lastly, we dive into Allen Hurns and Isaiah Ford, two of Miami’s forgotten men on the depth chart. How are there skill sets similar, and could 24-year-old Ford be the future slot receiver on the Dolphins? We then wrap things up with Malcolm Perry, Ricardo Louis, and Mack Hollins.
