Sunday Dolphins Mailbag: Grier, O-Line, Tua, and More
Part 2 of the post-Bills game Miami Dolphins On SI mailbag:
From Josh Streimer (@Josh_streimer):
Any reason to be optimistic?
Hey Josh, there are many reasons to be optimistic, starting with the playmakers on offense and a defense that’s actually played pretty well the first two games. But, without questions, there are reasons for concern as well and I can understand Dolphins fans being very dejected at this moment.
From Lloyd Heilbrunn (@LloydHeilbrunn):
Do you think Chris Grier is worried about the OL yet? Putting an injury-prone QB behind this OL is GM malpractice…
Hey Lloyd, yeah, not sure how to respond to this, other than the Dolphins (and not just Grier) overestimated what they could get done with a less-than-ideal offensive line. But it also should be said that every quarterback is going to face pressure at one point or another.
From Ed Helinski (@MrEd315):
In your opinion, what level of disarray are the Dolphins at after these first two games?
Hey Ed, hmm, I’m not sure if disarray is the right word, but it’s safe to say that things have gone off the rails a bit. And if we’re already talking about a lost season, then maybe the team didn’t do a good enough job in terms of securing a solid backup quarterback.
From Chris Bustin (@ChrisBustin13):
Hey, Alain. If Tua misses significant time, are we sure the Dolphins will get a veteran QB to start over Skylar Thompson? My biggest concern is that Miami would get a terrible QB to act only as another emergency backup behind Skylar. In this scenario, our season is over. Thanks!
Hey Chris, if I had to guess, I would not count on a “big-name” quarterback being added. And I’m only not on board with the notion that the season is over if Thompson has to start a few games because then we’re suggesting this team was all about Tua, and I don’t buy that notion.
Cold Day In the Sun(@cjb8511):
Is there any answer for the run defense?
Well, was the run defense really that bad against the Bills? Yes, the 49-yard touchdown was ugly, but Buffalo’s running backs averaged barely 3 yards per carry outside of that one play. So I don’t agree that the run defense has been horrible.
From Mark Lever (@MarkFinsfan):
Is there a backup QB that you would like to see the Dolphins pursue? What are the chances Tua returns in a few weeks?
Hey Mark, those two questions are tied, in my mind. I honestly don’t know, nor do I want to speculate, when Tua could be back. If it’s going to be a long-term absence, then I would advocate a call to the Rams to see if they’d be willing to part with Jimmy Garoppolo. If we’re looking at a short absence, I’m not sure there’s anybody out there who would represent a clearly better option than Skylar Thompson, with maybe Mike White coming back to serve as Thompson’s backup.
From will w. (@Willmvg):
How did the front office and coaches miss so bad on the trench play?
This is a case of them always believing that, first, their scheme can making everything work and, second, that they coach up players to constantly improve and they invariably will get better.
From Inphintry (@jayayemsea):
Russell Wilson?
Why? He was kind of brutal last season with Denver and by all accounts wasn’t much more impressive in training camp with the Steelers this summer. And, as with every quarterback under contract, why would the Steelers hurt their depth and leave themselves without a backup.
From TP (@BoatsNhops):
Why is this franchise cursed and when will it end?
Do you mean the franchise with the only perfect season in NFL history, two Super Bowl titles and most recently two straight playoff appearances? If you check with the folks in Cleveland and Detroit, for example, they might look at you funny about this comment, though it’s fair to say things haven’t gone well for a while. But curse? Nah.
From Rico’sRoughNcks (@TheFin22):
Thursday’s game summarized Tua’s NFL career: poor performance against quality team & injury prone. Does MIA’s brass finally do the inevitable and utilize an early draft pick on a QB? Regardless of the future of Tua’s career, trust in him is minimal at best.
Hey Rico, if Tua returns — and the reports Sunday morning was that he’s not contemplating retirement — the Dolphins are committed to him and I simply don’t see them spending a high pick on a QB as long as he’s on the roster.
From Ahula EXTREA Verified (@GrandAhlu):
Couldn’t tell on TV. What did BUF do that stopped McDaniel? TOs killed but regardless Tua didn’t seem to find anywhere he wanted to go. Didn’t BUF have soft safeties that could have been exploited with crossing route, especially if corners were sitting back deep? No McDaniel adjustments?
As is usually the case when the offense gets shut down, it was a combination of the defense playing very soft coverage, the pass rush getting to Tua pretty quickly, and the defenders tackling well. The Dolphins did move the ball at times, but didn’t finish drives and turned the ball over. And the Dolphins simply weren’t sharp offensively and the result is what we saw.
The HotChili (ImBoomBoomPow):
Do you think all the pre-snap motion is designed to compensate for the poor play of the offensive line, due to their inability to hold a block? It seems like every snap, Tua has got guys in his face in a split second.
There are a couple of reasons for the pre-snap motion, one of which is to get a read on the coverage, another is to try to get the defense off balance, and those supersede the idea of helping the pass protection.
From Jorge Fernandez (@jfdad):
Need to withdraw from football after being at game yesterday emotionally drained and unable mentally to talk Fins. Another season of misery. Thank goodness leaving for Europe for 3 weeks.
Hey Jorge, it’s two games and the Dolphins are 1-1, so it’s a bit soon for any dramatic statements. Oh, and enjoy Europe!
From El Ax (@axLopezC):
Hey Poup, is Skylar T. a better player (QB) than Ryan Tannehill? Did Ryan leave the Dolphins unhappy or feeling betrayed? Why in the world is not a good idea to bring him back? If McDaniel is a great offensive mind and QB healer, couldn’t he make Ryan play for this Dolphins? Tks!!
Ryan Tannehill is a better quarterback than Skylar Thompson, but he’s got no experience in the scheme the Dolphins run and his skill set also isn’t well suited for what they like to do. The Dolphins took very good care of Tannehill while he was in Miami and he has zero reason to feel betrayed or have any animosity toward the organization.
From Tim Ski (@TimSki22):
Why, after proving ineptitude on multiple levels, is Grier still in charge of personnel?
Hey Tim, without addressing the quality of his work, I will tell you that he’s got the full support of Stephen Ross and the fact he gets along with everybody has played a role in that because Ross mentioned after the firing of Brian Flores the importance in his eyes of having folks who work well together.
From Mick (@Mrac317):
Do you think Mike McDaniel is a genius?
Hey Mick, simple answer is no. I do think he’s got a very good offensive mind, but “genius” would be stretching things.

Inside Miami’s billionaire bunker, a manmade island for the .01% where billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg shell out for total privacy | Fortune
In a city known for flash and nine-figure price tags, Miami’s most coveted waterfront neighborhood features addresses that start at $60 million—and a near guarantee that you’ll never be able to visit.
Indian Creek Island, also known as Billionaire Bunker, is a 300-acre, manmade strip of land in Biscayne Bay just north of Miami Beach that has attracted the ultra-rich in droves. Its monied residents include NFL quarterback Tom Brady, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and President Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump.
The main island contains a mere 40 lots of purely waterfront property, adding another layer of exclusivity on top of the inflated cost to entry. The island’s interior is dominated by the Indian Creek Country Club and its private 18-hole golf course. Those looking to rub shoulders on the links will have to reportedly pay a $500,000 initiation fee and go through a lengthy admissions process.
Though properties could be had for less, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg became the latest billionaire to reportedly snatch up a newly completed mansion at an estimated price tag of between $150 million and $200 million earlier this month. And of the ultra-wealthy who can afford to shell out millions for a home, many often tear down the existing structure to build a new one, said Michael Martirena, cofounder of the Ivan and Mike Team at real estate brokerage Compass.
The Price of Exclusivity
With only 84 residents as of 2020, Indian Creek Island is one of the most exclusive enclaves in America, and a big reason why is the privacy and security that it affords its ultra-wealthy residents.
Indian Creek is an independent municipality with its own government and a police force that patrols the island 24/7 not only by land but also by sea. A single guarded bridge connects it to the mainland, and any visitors must show their ID and may even undergo vehicle inspection, said Martirena, who has toured properties there with clients.
“It’s a bubble, and no one can get on and off, unless you have a reason,” said Martirena, who specializes in ultra-luxury real estate.
Unlike nearby South Beach celebrity enclaves such as Palm, Star, and Hibiscus Islands—where boat tours regularly pass by waterfront mansions—Indian Creek’s marine patrols keep onlookers away, Martirena told Fortune.
Because of the island’s location and strategic landscaping, very few homes in the surrounding areas, like the Bay Harbor Islands or Surfside, have a clear view of Indian Creek Island. This makes it very private, said Martirena, and very desirable.
“It’s the place to be,” said Martirena. “People of that caliber feel safe and not bothered.”
And yet, wealth alone doesn’t guarantee access. All the listings are done “off market,” said Martirena, meaning a buyer’s agent will have to deal directly with a property owner’s representatives, and contact them multiple times if they are not quite ready to sell.
“It’s a small community, and just to keep the chatter at a low level, they do it all internally and very private,” he said.
In an already exclusive community, the western side offers an even more seclusive experience because the lots border the intracoastal waterway separating the island from the mainland, Mick Duchon, a Miami Beach–based real estate agent with the Corcoran Group, previously told Fortune. On this side of the island, home to two of the five richest people in the world, Zuckerberg and Bezos, the lots measure about 80,000 square feet, compared to 50,000 square feet which is the norm on the island, Duchon said.
Since announcing his move from Seattle to Florida in 2023, Bezos snapped up three properties on the island for more than $230 million combined. He’s turning two western lots into a compound while he lives in a Mediterranean-style house on the third lot on the other side of the island.
The billionaire migration to Indian Creek reflects a broader influx in South Florida luxury real estate, which Martirena described as “COVID 2.0.” Thanks in part to Florida’s lack of a state income tax, interest from high end buyers is exploding even as activity at the lower end of the housing market slows.
Another factor is the proposed 5% billionaire wealth tax, which is gathering steam in California. Google co-founder Larry Page has reportedly begun shifting assets, including his family office, out of California. The billionaire recently paid $173 million for two waterfront mansions in Miami’s Coconut Grove neighborhood.
Martirena said his own business has picked up over the last couple of weeks, with three recent inquiries that he attributed directly to the potential wealth tax.
“They’re kind of pre-planning ahead of time. They don’t want to move here,” he said. “They want to stay in the state of California, because they love where they’re at, and they never thought of moving. But they work very hard for their money, and they said they like their pocketbook much more.”

How NFL Front Offices Value Arm Length and Its Impact on Miami’s Star EDGE
INDIANAPOLIS – There aren’t many complaints surrounding Miami defensive end Rueben Bain Jr. as an NFL Draft prospect. He’s beyond powerful, fairly quick for his 6-foot-3, 275-pound frame and has a wide array of pass-rushing moves to go along with it.
The only knock against Bain as a prospect through the early stages of the NFL Draft process and over the last few months has been the length of his arms. Historically, that’s a physical trait that’s gone against many top-tier edge rushers looking to make a name for themselves in the NFL. The same could very well be the case for Bain.
For teams selecting in the Top 10, a range where Bain could very realistically land, it’s hard not to consider arm length a valuable asset for any player, even outside of the defensive end position.
Take the Tennessee Titans, for example. The Titans hold the fourth spot in the 2026 draft and could very well look to add more talent off the edge. While stacking Bain up against the likes of David Bailey from Texas Tech and Arvell Reese from Ohio State, while also considering Tennessee’s defensive scheme that commands length on the defensive front, his physical traits could send him down the draft board.
“Arm length is always going to be key, especially with a team like us that plays more of a zone style,” Tennessee Titans Head Coach Robert Saleh said at the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday. “Those long arms close up passing windows and all the different things that we asked them to do. So it’s really every position. Arm length is always a big deal.”
Saleh’s not the only one saying this. Arm length certainly does appear to be a big deal.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t good players with short arms, however. Bain has absolutely been tabbed as one of the players with short arms who could be an immediate difference maker, along with Texas A&M’s Cashius Howell, Alabama’s LT Overton and Michigan’s Derrick Moore. All of those players are viewed as consensus top-100 prospects.
“In terms of guys with shorter arms, and there’s a few in this draft who are really, really good players, … but how well (do) they play with the length they have,” Washington Commanders General Manager Adam Peters said.
Most front office members have made it clear that length is a hot commodity. That doesn’t mean that players with short arms, especially pass rushers, are immediately out of value.
Players at the position who lack the length desired by most NFL front offices and coaching staffs can always break that mold or contribute in another way. There’s always the option to kick inside and provide some athletic versatility there, or be imposing enough to make length not matter on the outside.
“In an ideal world, would you love to have a guy with long arms? Yeah, absolutely,” Green Bay Packers head coach Jeff Hafley said. “But I think there’s other guys that have short arms and that are really good edge rushers (and) are really good inside.”
The script could easily be flipped in this debate, as well. There are likely more long-armed edge rushers than ones with short arms and it’s very possible that not all of them panned out. More goes into evaluating these players than athletic traits and that plays into Bain’s advantage.
Short-armed players can also play longer by the way they use the rest of their body. This is a trait that Bain could afford to pick up and hone in on as his professional career gets a kickstart.
“It’s great to have that length, but it’s also how they use it and how it comes out on the tape,” Peters said. “ Some guys can excel with shorter arms by doing things differently, but ideally, you want to err on the side of longer.”
Part of the concerns with a short-armed defensive end like Bain could be the ability for them to get dominated by stronger, more athletic offensive tackles. Luckily for Bain, he’s going to be one of the more powerful players at the position, with the chance to fill out more as years pass.
At the same time, getting off blocks and getting shut down immediately at the line of scrimmage has haunted him at moments over the last two seasons.
“Some guys with short arms, they just get eaten up,” Hafley said. “But some guys are so quick where they can get their hands inside first and still disengage.”
Regardless of his arm length, Bain is a physically imposing player. His sheer power alone might be enough to not scare teams away from picking him as early as he’s being projected to land, as well. That being said, the more that NFL front office members weigh in and look at the history of short-armed defensive ends, the concerns that some might have come into question more.
