About this listen
The Miami Dolphins tied the Chicago Bears 24–24 in their first preseason game — and there was plenty to unpack.
Rob starts with the negatives: the continuation of costly penalties, red zone struggles that echo last season, and the right side of the offensive line faltering without Austin Jackson.
He then shifts to the positives: an energized defense under Anthony Weaver, standout plays from Derrick McLendon, Grayson Murphy, and first-round pick Kenneth Grant, plus an interception set up by Ethan Bonner and finished by Patrick McMorris. Rookie RB Ollie Gordon also impressed, making the case for more touches alongside De’Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, and Alexander Mattison.
Full recap now streaming — plus Rob’s thoughts on how Miami can turn preseason lessons into regular season wins.
