## Resource

Miami Dolphins chart a new course as Darren Waller reveals Mike McDaniel’s post-season plans—Quinn Ewers was set to take the reins at quarterback, signaling the definitive end of the Tua Tagovailoa era. What would the offense have looked like if McDaniel had stayed and Tua was moved? Host Kyle Crabbs unpacks the dramatic turning point, exploring alternate futures and what Miami’s bold choices mean for their rebuild. Crabbs also tackles the evolving Dolphins secondary, spotlighting Sean Duggan’s vision for first-round pick Chris Johnson and the ongoing search for a nickel corner. Insightful analysis highlights Jason Marshall Jr.’s role as an outside corner, the versatility of prospects like Kyle Louis, and what the new defensive scheme could unlock. With the 2026 NFL schedule out and fresh faces in the locker room, are the Dolphins finally breaking the cycle—and which “what ifs” will fans remember?
