Time for more change? What Dolphins should do after 0-5 start

Time for more change? What Dolphins should do after 0-5 start

Miami Herald • • sports

Key Points:

  • The Miami Dolphins, currently 0-5, face critical decisions during their bye week, particularly regarding quarterback Malik Willis, whose performance has been subpar, though he showed some late-game promise; the team may consider starting Kyle McCord if Willis struggles again.
  • Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik and quarterback coach Bush Hamdan are under pressure to improve an offense that has scored only seven touchdowns in five games, with potential consideration for bringing in outside offensive consultants.
  • Special teams continue to underperform, highlighted by multiple long kickoff returns allowed and penalties, prompting calls for coordinator Chris Tabor to demand more or for the front office to acquire better coverage players.
  • The Dolphins need to evaluate positional flexibility and player development, including potentially moving Kadyn Proctor to tackle, assessing rookie tight ends Justin Joly and Seydou Traore for future roles, and considering roster churn to improve depth and performance.
  • Decisions on trading veteran players like Zach Sieler and Austin Jackson hinge on contract situations and future team plans, with an emphasis on maximizing draft picks and roster value before the trade deadline.
