Later in the hour, Joe Rose and Hollywood discuss the importance of preseason football, the noticeably higher intensity at Dolphins practices under the new coaching staff, high expectations for Malik Washington and Kenneth Grant, and why Joe believes Miami's offense could lean more heavily on the running game this season. Plus, Joe shares stories from his television days, including a memorable weather forecast mistake that ruined a friend's party and his frustrations with how little time sports used to get on local news broadcasts.

Hour 2 features plenty of Dolphins discussion as Joe Rose talks about the importance of a breakout season from Chop Robinson, why he expects Jeff Hafley’s defense to be aggressive and blitz-heavy, and the challenges Miami will face against some of the NFL’s top quarterbacks this season. The guys also weigh in on the gambling allegations surrounding quarterback Brendan Sorsby, with Joe questioning whether he’ll ever get another opportunity in college football or the NFL after reportedly betting on his own team. Omar Kelly then joins the show to share his observations from Dolphins minicamp, including his thoughts on Malik Willis and Quinn Ewers, the growing hype surrounding Malik Washington, concerns about Juju Brents’ durability, and whether Chop Robinson can become a complete edge defender.

The guys break down the Dolphins’ schedule, noting a difficult slate filled with elite quarterbacks and playoff-level opponents that will be a major test for Miami this season. They also dive into the latest QB debates, including whether Justin Herbert can take a leap under Mike McDaniel’s offensive system and where he stacks up among the league’s best. That sparks a wider discussion on quarterback rankings, with Patrick Mahomes still viewed as the clear top option, followed by a tier featuring Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Matthew Stafford.
