RSS Feed The Miami Dolphins may have enjoyed a bye week, but their special teams problems aren't going away. After five games of costly penalties, blown coverages and disastrous returns, something has to change. And legendary Dolphins special teams coach Mike Westhoff has some ideas about how to fix it.
On the latest Fish Tank x DolphinsTalk Crossover, O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and DolphinsTalk's Mike Oliva break down Miami's special teams struggles and react to Westhoff's revealing conversation with longtime Dolphins columnist Dave Hyde.
Juice shares firsthand stories from playing for Westhoff, including the notoriously intense team meetings, the coach's extraordinary attention to detail, and how Westhoff helped convince the Dolphins to draft him. He even recalls asking his former coach for a few special teams plays to help a high school team, only to receive an 80-page game plan!
The guys examine why Miami continues to lose the field-position battle, whether the problems stem from personnel, coaching or scheme, and why a team already struggling to compete simply cannot afford to keep giving opponents such significant advantages.
Should Jeff Hafley consider making a change at special teams coordinator? Can Miami adapt to the NFL's evolving kickoff rules? And what can the Dolphins learn from Westhoff's approach to creating mismatches rather than simply reacting to opponents?
Plus, the crew looks ahead to Jets Week, discusses why Miami's defense deserves some credit despite the 0-5 record, and shares details about the launch of Fish Tank: The Deep End on Patreon.
The Dolphins don't need their special teams to win games for them. They just need them to stop losing games.
Dive in with O.J. McDuffie, Seth Levit and Mike Oliva!
