Summary
The Jeff Hafley era officially begins in Miami — and it feels like the first day of school . On this episode of Fish Tank LIVE , O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit , along with producer The Legendary Sevach and Sun-Sentinel columnist Chris Perkins , break down the Dolphins’ first offseason workouts under their new head coach and what stood out from Hafley’s first real media session. From tone-setting and accountability to a more “hand in the dirt” football approach, the crew discusses how this new regime is already signaling a shift in culture — and how it compares to previous eras. The conversation also turns to the absence of De’Von Achane , what it could mean (if anything), and the business realities facing young stars in today’s NFL. Plus, a deeper dive into one of the more intriguing storylines around the organization: What exactly is Troy Aikman’s role with the Dolphins? How much influence does he really have? And why does it raise questions about internal voices and decision-making? Edited by Sevach Melton. Theme song created and performed by The Honorable SoLo D.
