The Miami Dolphins have developed a reputation as a very soft team that can be pushed around quite easily under Mike McDaniel, and their overall inability to address that area has come to a head in the 2025 season amid a 1-6 start that will likely end with a regime change.
Fans who want to point the finger at Miami's poor play in the trenches are on very firm ground for complaint, as the Dolphins ranked as the league's worst defensive line by Pro Football Focus. McDaniel's pathetic pass rush is matched in poor play only by the group protecting Tua Tagovailoa.
