Wednesday Miami Dolphins Mailbag: Byron Jones, Mike McDaniel, and More


Part 2 of the post-Bears game SI Fan Nation All Dolphins mailbag:

From Elliot Zovighian (@ElliotZovighian):

We have yet to see a 60-min effort from all 3 phases of the team. They say defense win championships. Is winning like this sustainable through the playoffs?

Hey Elliot, let’s be honest, how many teams in 2022 have had 60-minute efforts from all three phases? Not many, I would say. The bottom line is the defense bailed out the offense a couple of times this season and the offense led the way a few times as well. When you say “winning like this,” I’m going to assume you mean the last two games against Detroit and Chicago, and the answer is, why not if the offense continues to produce like it did in those two games? The problem is that it’s unrealistic to expect those kind of performances against the better defenses around the AFC, which is what the Dolphins will see in the playoffs, and that means the defense will have to step up like it did against New England or Pittsburgh, for example.
