Each Miami Dolphins coaching camp ends with the reduce of a number of gamers to get the crew right down to its last 53-man roster to start the season. Inside these cuts are all the time a number of gamers that shock the media and the fan base. With that in thoughts, I requested the next query this previous Monday:
Which participant at present anticipated by the media and fan base to make the Miami Dolphins’ last 53-man roster do you consider can be a shock reduce forward of the 2026-2027 NFL season, and why? Should you foresee a number of shock cuts, please establish all of them and clarify your reasoning.
Under are a few of your ideas and answers-
SlayerNation1 is bemoaning the truth that scoring by way of subject targets has now seemingly turn into a sport plan for some as a result of each rattling kicker can seemingly rating from midfield. A minimum of I believe that’s the purpose that’s being made.
It’s formally the Nationwide SOCCER League now, ergo if any Kicker will get reduce, it might be shocking… and shortly changed with one other soccer participant.
Groups are near preserving 5 trick-shot Place Kickers and flopping Punters on the 53 roster as specialists. Transfer the ball 20 yards after which kick a ball straight and much…. how scintillating.
PA phinphan factors to Trey Moore as a participant that might presumably unseat a number of gamers at totally different positions.
Uche or Ojabo may find yourself on the skin trying in particularly if Trey Moore will get designated as simply an edge. Possibly even each relying on Ferrell. The 5 edges might be Robinson, Ferrell, Moore, Llewellyn, and Reiger.
The identical might be stated of Dodson or Homosexual, Jr. if Moore will get an LB designation. Even when Moore stays as Edge/LB, one these guys might not make it.
Until he fully balls out, Cameron Goode goes to be on the lookout for a brand new gig. Though, I don’t know if anybody is anticipating him to make the crew or not.
Dolphster believes that regardless of the shortage of depth within the WR room, one of many vets that have been signed this offseason can be with no gig come September.
Regardless that the WR Room is missing expertise, I believe they’ll reduce one of many veteran receivers; both Tolbert or Atwell.
JKBMia has an inventory of fellows that have been held over from the final regime which will or might not make it to the beginning of the common season.
“Surprise” Cuts to me could be :
Dodson
OG3/Wright
Malik Washington
Marshall/Duck
All holdovers from the final regime which have underwhelmed a bit and will not match the brand new employees’s liking.
I wouldn’t anticipate any of them getting reduce, however I may see it, in order that’s why they’re on this record.
MIAMI235 makes the purpose that within the NFL, few gamers are actually safe of their jobs from yr to yr.
Taking a look at it, within the rear view mirror….what Dolphins Fan, would have thought that Tua, Hill and Waddle would all be gone on the finish of 1 season ?
( Not all technically cuts, however that’s actually simply semantics for this story).
Phoenix6 lists three guys, together with Dodson, who would possibly get traded away earlier than camp is out, relying on any potential accidents which will happen earlier than that time.
My lowly take could be three.
Three seemingly surprises.Tyrel Dodson: Linebacker depth is crowded with new draft additions, placing him beneath strain. The strain may make him pop to the highest. But it surely’s a troublesome camp for him.Matthew Butler: Faces an uphill battle for inside defensive position snaps behind the primary rotation. The rookies & 2nd yr vets are simply an excessive amount of to beat… even when he equals them.Malik Washington: Caught in a heavy large receiver numbers crunch beneath the brand new teaching employees scheme. Could be the largest shock. The rooks are simply higher, having him take a 2nd yr to be viable. He didn’t present sufficient final yr both.
He confirmed he might be this no-pads-on camp, however there’s higher available developing.
StanleyDoyle1 believes that Ewers might be on his approach out.
Ewers. Not on advantage, however as a result of Gronowski impresses and is not any risk to their man Willis.
Only a fan factors out that, regardless of us followers being the driving power of the league on the finish of the day, now we have zero say in regards to the product on the sphere.
Like, I’ve stated earlier than, looks as if 1,000,000 timesn It doesn’t matter what I believe what the crew does. That’s the true actuality, as a result of I’m only a actual fan, and that’s it, no energy excluding prayer.
MiamiItaliano believes the man with essentially the most fascinating title may be gone come the common season.
I believe the shock reduce is Storm Duck. Lots of people anticipate him to make the crew. However the DB room seems to be crowded now.
Properly, that’s our number of gamers that could be shock cuts, and little question a few of these are right; we simply don’t know which of them at this level. I personally see some shock cuts as factor, particularly if changed by a rookie as a result of it means, in lots of circumstances, that the rookie was higher from the beginning than most of us believed he could be, permitting him to unseat the veteran. Different instances, I think if the rookie is shut sufficient to the veteran, he’ll get the nod simply because of the cap implications. Should you missed our preliminary publish, please share your shock cuts within the feedback part under. As all the time thanks to every of you who took the time to reply our Phinsider Query Of The Day.
