Yeah, we're about an hour away from Thursday night football. The Washington Commanders. The Green Bay Packers. But we're moving into a full slate. on Sunday.
In one of those games, well is not necessarily something that everybody wants to see. But I think it's going to have bearing on the direction of one of these NFL franchises. I'm talking about the Miami Dolphins, who have already been in the news. The past couple of weeks, the past several months, for all of the wrong reasons. They just got blasted by the Colts to start their year.
33 To eight. It's amazing that Tyreek Hill hasn't already asked out already after game one. We got Mike McDaniel answering questions about his job security is not looking good. In Miami, to talk about what we've seen, what we can expect moving forward, a lot of these rumors, a lot of these stories. Joining us right now is someone who covers all things Miami Sports for WSVN7 News in Miami.
It is the elite sports anchor. Joining us right now is Josh Moser. Josh, how are you, man? I'm doing great, man. Thanks for having me on.
How are you? I appreciate the time. I'm very well, thank you. I think I'm better than some of the Dolphins fans. Just before we dive into Tyree Kell and Mike McDaniel.
We've seen this regression. This was an offense that Well, they scored like 65, 70 points a couple seasons ago, one of the best offenses that we've ever seen. And now here we are two years later, and people are like Tua stinks. Tyreek Hill wants out, Mike McDaniels questioning. Why the regression?
I mean, that's the question that everybody wants to know. Basically, teams figured out how to stop the vertical passing attack of the Dolphins, where Mike McDaniel was so lethal in 2023 and why it worked so well in 2023 when they had the number one offense in the league is that they led the team in rushing. And basically with that, they were able to use the play action and Get the ball down the field, specifically to Tyreek Hill.
However, last year in 2024, we saw the too high. shell safety look and then everything had to go underneath. Once last season. Tyreek Hill had a catch for 30 or more yards. That was in week one against the Jaguars, the day he got detained by police on his way into the stadium.
So it was kind of maybe a bad. Omen, maybe, for the season. And then this year, just to come out and completely. Lay an egg against the Colts realistically a team. That they should have beaten is almost unfathomable.
You have Mike McDaniel, who is this quote-unquote offensive guru. You talk about his. You know, lineage out of Yale and how smart he is, and how much respect he had garnered during his time in San Francisco, even going all the way back to his time in Houston, and then the coaching tree that he was a part of with Mike Shanahan and the Redskins, now the commanders, with the other head coaches that he worked with.
Now have become, including Matt LaFleur, who's playing tonight on Thursday Night Football in charge of the Packers. But Mike McDaniels seemingly does not have a counter. This too high safety look where they're forcing under the blood wall underneath. And then you take it a step further. Where Mike McDaniel is believed to be the perfect coach for Tua, and to get him to the level, it's now year four of them together, but.
You know, you heard Xavian Howard, who played for the Colts, who was a longtime Dolphins player, who is a Pro Bowler here. He says, Look, you take the first read away from Tua and you shut him down. There's a corner who played for the Packers, played for the Bills for Sewell Douglas that just got signed by the Dolphins when he came in here. How do you stop the Dolphins? He takes two off his first three.
And I would expect Mike Rabel to do the same thing this upcoming Sunday, where the Dolphins have not beaten Mike Rabel, but to a quarterback. They're 0-2.
So uh You know, if we keep saying if the dolphins answer all these questions, they should be fine.
However, they have yet to answer a single question. It doesn't appear that it'll be the case. I mean, people are beating up on Tua. People are beating up on Mike McDaniel. Tyree Kill seemingly is beating up on the team from the inside.
Who do you it seems likely that there's going to be a domino that falls at some point? By the time we get to the end of the season or during the season, somebody's going to go.
Somebody's going to be gone. Who do you think is most likely out the door first? Is it It can't be Tua. Is it McDaniel? Is it Tyreek Hill?
He has these legal issues over his head. What's going on? Yeah, I mean, look, you've got general manager Chris Greer, who's been here basically for more than 20 years. This is his 10th season as GM. His team hasn't won a playoff game.
in 25 years.
So I think he would be. a name where you just need a new start. It's not that he's bad, it's just that Nothing is working. And then with Mike McDaniel, we knew that he was the coach for Tua. If you cut Tua, you've got 90 million in cap losses next year in dead cap.
But then again, we just saw the Broncos cut bait. from Russell Wilson not too long ago.
So You know for me, it would be Mike McDaniel would be the first to go. if this team somehow loses to the Patriots this weekend, They have a short week against the Bills. You start 0-3. I don't think they're going to fight Mike McDaniel because of the short week. But you start 0-3, and you've got the Jets after that on Monday Night Football.
And all of a sudden, if you start 0-4 with. Losses to the Colts, the Jets, and the Patriots, I think Mike McDaniel could be gone. he'd be my first domino to fall. Miami sports anchor Josh Moser is here with us on the JR Sport reshow Coast to Coast. There's been a lot said.
You you talked about some of the the corners, talking about Tua. When it comes to Mike McDaniel, it seemed early on, of course, you get the honeymoon phase. He seemed a little bit more jovial in speaking to the media, the long explanations. And now he had to answer a question just point blank about his job security. Over the offseason, You got guys like Jalen Ramsey and other dudes on the outside insinuating that he's lost the locker room.
Do you think, from what you've read, heard, seen, and what you know? that the guys don't response him anymore. That 365 is paying out before the final whistle.

Your captains on the team last year were your most fined players. There were five players in particular that. We're constantly getting fined. You know, there's something about Whether it's a coach or The player That everyone else kind of falls in line. I covered the Packers since their clients and I, you know, Aaron Rodgers walks into the room.
Everybody stands up a little straighter. It's the same with Peyton Manning. But if you look at, since you brought up Jalen Ramsey, You know, a no-nonsense coach like Mike Tomlin. Um who I love. the players re respond differently.
Now there was Brian Flores down here, who was more militant. It's well documented that he and Tua didn't get along. Brian, very A defensive-minded coach, but very You know, off the Bill Belichick, you know, military tree of how he coaches, and that just didn't work. for Tua, but Tua's not a vocal leader.
So you there's not a single player in this locker room that I feel You know, it is going to get everybody else to buy in. And honestly, I think the players realize if you look at the AFC right now, even that Sunday night game with the Bills and the Ravens, let alone. What else is there with the Bengals? You know, you still have the Chiefs who are always relevant. The Chargers look much improved.
Um You know, this team just doesn't have the horses to compete. And I think they know that. Uh but The way that they played this last game and with what they said, where they were basically like, You know, we were out there for ourselves, meaning that we were chasing plays individually, and we completely abandoned the scheme. They left multiple players out to dry because they were trying to make a play. Um you know, reading between the lines that doesn't show a strong sense of unity.
Especially in week one, that's not how you want to start a season. I mean, before we even got to the season, Josh Moser is joining us here on the Charles Sport Brief show. The whole offseason was about Tyree Kill. I don't want to be here. We lost.
I need to go somewhere where I'm used to winning. Oh, my bad. It's not what I meant. And then training camp comes along, and it's the apology tour. And oh, yeah, we're mending fences in the locker room.
Okay, yeah, sure, yeah, fine. He has these legal issues. Is there a possibility that he's gone from the Dolphins due to a suspension first? Or is it more likely so that some team says, screw this, I need a wide receiver, and they decide to take him in the year and a half left on his deal? I don't see him getting suspended at all for any sort of illegal situation with his estranged wife.
Um You know, so that's first and foremost. I do a show with his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Tyreek and I are close. Drew and I are very close. Uh you look you go back to Tyrese You know, rookie season, there's always been something with him in the offseason, and Chris Grewer knew that when they traded all of those picks to bring him over here from Kansas City, and then at the time made him.
the highest paid wide receiver in the league. You know, the question is: does he get to the point where Jalen Ramsey got where he's like. You know, I'm a Pro Bowl player. I should be a Hall of Famer. And right now, this team isn't going to win.
I want to go compete and be on a team that has a chance to win. And that could be a time, especially if Mike McDaniel's gone, and especially with the trade deadline moving back, where I could see that. You know, Tyreek is going to get moved, but the two problems are: one is the salary that he commands. It's almost $30 million this season in the cap hit. And then what are you going to get in return for them?
Because like you mentioned, you know, all of this. And these problems Uh off the field.
So, maybe a second-round pick after you gave up a litany of first-round picks to bring him here before you paid him.
So, I just don't see the compensation being there. But an unhappy Tyreek Hill is not a good thing for anybody, but. Again. You talk about people on the shopping block. Chris Greer knew all of this.
before You know, he brought him in. I can tell you that my general manager that I speak to regularly around the league. You know, Tyree Kill would not be a part of you know, most locker rooms, even though he's phenomenal on the field. But we've seen when Tyreek is at his best on the field, he's one of one. Bye.
Right now, it seems that there's a lot more problems with the Dolphins than just Tyree Kill.
Well, let me ask you this. If we gotta find some positivity, you may have to dig a little deep here. Where's the silver lining for the Miami Dolphins and their fan base? Can they look at something, someone, and just go. Ah, at least that's working out?
Oh man, I wish. I mean, it is the most delusionally optimistic fan base that I've certainly covered in my 15 years of doing this. Uh The brightest spot. I would say is the second-year linebacker Chop Robinson. He finished third in the rookie of the year voting on the defensive side of the ball.
He's a great kid. Um And you just hope that he continues to do well. But they got two pass veterans back in Jalen Phillips, who's on the final. of his deal and then Bradley Chubb. Who's a hundred million dollar man that restructured his deal?
So you've got to get to the quarterback. Arguably, you have a top five, front seven. In the league on paper, especially with Matthew Judon, who's a sexy name. You know, you should be getting to opposing quarterbacks, but when you play Daniel Jones and you bring him down one time. I mean, he looked like a Pro Bowler.
And it was just shocking.
So we're, I guess we can just say that as bad as the loss was, there's 16 more opportunities. And we'll see what they do this Sunday where they should. Definitely put forth a much better effort. They should win this and get back to 500 and give themselves a chance. But um Right now, I would say that it's looking pretty bleak.
The Dolphins, who just lost two starting offensive linemen in week one of position groups, they were very thin, and they also lost a starting corner, and they really have nobody. In the secondary on the outside. Um It's going to be a long season and it's it's not off to a good start. Yeah, I mean, they may rival the Dolphins, may rival the Saints this year when it comes to looking ugly. Let's see how bad it turns out.
Hey, Josh, I know it's certainly going to keep you busy. We appreciate the time. Please tell everyone where they could follow and find you online, on T V, everywhere. Yeah, thanks so much.
So, my name is Josh Moser. I'm the sports director of the ABC and Fox Affiliate down in Miami. We've got a regional show with Drew Rosenhaus every Sunday night called Lexis Sports Extra. And then across all social media channels, my last name's Moser, so it's the Moe's Knows. Twitter, X, Instagram, TikTok, all of that.
Any questions, feel free to reach out and I'll do my best to get back to you. Yeah, just love my job. Feel very grateful just to get to be the liaison between the fan base and the teams. And, you know, I know South Florida necessarily isn't a sexy national TV market for sports because there's so much going on in the nightlife outside of it. But The Panthers are for real.
The Heat are always relevant. Messi's here. And quietly, you know, Miami's got a lot of uh Sports going on behind the scenes. Hey, Josh, if you see Suarez, can you tell him to stop spitting on people? Can you tell him that?
And between him spitting and falling down, you know, faking everything, it's uh, yeah, I mean, he might be up for an Emmy here soon. But I'll do my best. I'll pass it along. Thank you, Josh. We'll catch you on down the line.
Thank you so much to Josh Moser for joining us. At lead sports anchor down on WSVN seven news. in Miami. Listen up, football fans. You won't want to miss this.
