Defiance is released @audible_com tonight, a 5 month, 8 part odyssey that myself & @MJGold have been on, digging into the history of protest in sport with an amazing cast of characters & stories that tries to answer why athletes stand up to be counted & the price they always pay.

Some odd calls already in this game. Didn’t think it was a penalty against Perkins; certainly didn’t think it was forcible contact by Cox on that third down; and Kyle Pitts was blatantly holding van Ness on the touchdown run. Way worse than the hold against Christian Watson.

The Dolphins are already close to the bottom of the barrel at receiver. Losing Caleb Douglas for Sunday, or worse, any run of games, would be a massive issue. dolphinstalk.com/2026/09/mia…

Another in-depth Low Redzone column looking at multiple draft prospects from the weekend; those players whose stock is falling; & a look ahead to W4. A lot of meaty draft info including an Ivy League QB, an ACC TE; CFB’s best LB; & a top 5 overall stud. thelowredzone.substack.com/p…

The Dolphins aren't broken. But the discourse is. On the final gun last night for @DolphinsTalk dolphinstalk.com/2026/09/its…

I've just written a piece for @DolphinsTalk on the Miami loss to the 49ers. I'll repeat something that I wrote in there, and just repeated to @ckparrot: Of all the things that are wrong and worrisome with the Dolphins, Malik Willis is about 56th on my list.

People are less critical of Justin Herbert than they are of genocide.

Perfect ball placement to Chris Bell, leveraging the throw against Stout, and Bell drops it.

It’s a two man route from either slot and they sneak the rookie free agent LB turned FB on a wheel. Here are the other two receivers bracketed over and under at the 45. But yeah, definitely the decision making of the QB is to blame. The discourse is absolutely broken.

Bobby Slowik is into the “deep ball to the UDFA converted LB now playing fullback” stage of this game. But yeah, this is on the QB.

Dante Trader was in great position there. That was just a sensational throw by Brock Purdy.

That might have been the worst defensive drive of Miami’s short season. The 49ers had receivers open by 15/20 yards at times.

Austin Jackson yet again. Might be the worst starting tackle in the NFL. Just abysmal.

Willie Gay is always at the scene of the crime. That’s two touchdowns on him.

Malik Willis rolled out under pressure & ran out of bounds rather than throw it away. Beyond that, the OL is getting caved in & he's throwing to 3 rookie WR's & a TE on his 3rd team. The rookies? One is a 6R & the 2nd tore his ACL in November. Yet some of the nonsense on this app

Austin Jackson getting turned backwards on 2nd and goal. How can you possibly expect anyone QB to throw when this happens so quickly and consistently on obvious passing downs.

Extremely hard to get to throw to the end zone when you’re flushed consistently, especially when Austin Jackson continues to play like a turnstile on money downs.

This just looks so much better overall by the Dolphins. Clock control. Bullying in the run game. QB making smart decisions. If they can build a monster run game, they can use the offseason to fill out the skill position groups at WR and TE. You can SEE the plan on this drive.

Will Kacmarek casually bodying Nick Bosa there.

Man, that hit on Aaron Rodgers. How did he get up?

I get the availability issue with Alisson but the idea that Richard Hughes was willing to sell him, rather sums him up. He’s still as good as there is in world football.
