Comparing These Dolphins to 2019

With football season right around the corner, Joe Rose and the guys dive into the Dolphins' outlook heading into the year. The conversation starts with Miami’s Week 1 matchup against the Raiders and whether Las Vegas should start rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza right away or let veteran Kirk Cousins mentor him early in the season. The crew discusses Miami’s low 4.5 win total, why Joe believes this Dolphins team will play with the right mindset and avoid the ego issues of the past, and compares the current roster reset to Brian Flores’ 2019 Dolphins team. They revisit Flores’ decision to bench Josh Rosen and why Miami’s evaluation process is different this time around with Malik Willis, who the organization knows well after spending significant time with him in Green Bay. The guys also discuss rookie receiver Chris Bell’s potential and whether he can make an impact once he returns from injury.
