questions before the Dolphins first preseason game on Friday night against the Atlanta Falcons the first question coming in Skyler Thompson from a real one Jason Smith $20 Super Chat shout out to Jason saying Die Hard fan from Kansas what are your thoughts on Skyler Thompson making the team love your show well Jason Smith you're Kansas State fan as well and Skyler Thompson is one of the better quarterbacks from Kansas State but either way Skyler's been on this team for a couple years now right remember in 2022 he got a lot of playing time due to Tua being hurt down the stretch actually started a playoff game and almost won it against the Buffalo Bills Mike White came onto the scene last year to be the main backup to Tua tug of aloa and Sky Thompson was a little bit demoted and now those two guys are going back and forth to have the rights to be the backup QB for Tua this year I think it's going to be very important and one of the most fun things to watch in these three preseason games is who performs better from the quarterback perspective of Skyler Thompson and Mike White I do think Skyler Thompson can make this team I've predicted him to make this team because Mike White carries a larger cap hit and maybe Chris Greer wants to save a little bit of money and view Skyler Thompson as an equal backup or maybe even slightly better and it would just make sense to keep Skyler now the cap space might not matter as much because the Dolphins actually have quite a lot of cap space at least at this moment after the Tyreek Hill contract restructure but I do think Skyler Thompson can make this team I'm still going to predict him to make this team he just has to outperform Mike White in the first three preseason Chad Jones games Chad Jones with a super chat shout out to the legend himself with our lack of depth on the o line how do you think our line will hold up over the long hole well that is the largest concern with this Dolphins football team there's no doubt about it we've often talked about signing the right a right guard and Greg van Ron was the top name but he signed with the New York Giants unfortunately and now the Dolphins are stuck with what they have in house this was the first Dolphins offensive line depth chart that was released before the preseason game Isaiah win is not on here because he is on the pup list right now so Robert Jones is your starting left guard and Liam mikenberg is Your Right Guard I like your two tackles I'm a fan of Austin Jackson and teron Armstead but the interior offensive line is really where it's going to get a little bit sketchy and quarterbacks will always tell you the worst type of pressure to face is from the interior because you're not able to step up into your throws and you're constantly backpedaling or scrambling to your left and right so to me I am a little bit concerned with our def or offensive line depth and if there is an injury to a couple players then they could be in a really bad spot I like your swing tackles if I'm going to be honest Patrick Paul second round pick out of Houston and Kendall lamb so if you get injuries to Austin Jackson or um teron Armstead you're able to survive them in my opinion but if you get banged up on the interior I don't love what you have there it's the number one thing that I believe Chris career failed to address this off season I get it you're not going to have a perfect roster but the interior offensive line is kind of left in a tough spot so it could be a point where they are holding this offense back as a whole and if there's a couple injuries to that interior it could get really really ugly for the fins but I'm going to cross my fingers that that is not going to be the case I mentioned that the Dolphins are playing a preseason game this upcoming Friday against the Atlanta Falcons how excited are you for Dolphins football to be back on your television where we get to watch those beautiful Unis take the field in Miami scale one to 10 on how excited you are my guy ljc with a question here do you think the Dolphins will trade for anyone if so who yeah uh um do I think they will trade for someone maybe um they do have cap space available right now I will be honest they have about $36 million in cap space for this upcoming season after the Tyreek Hill contract restructure they already had 20 million they got a little bit more by pushing some guaranteed money down the line and that's going to help this year sure but will they end up using that cap space to help the roster now or try to carry over some of that cap space until later in the season for a trade at the trade deadline or just help them save money because they're so over the cap next year where they're got one of the least amount of cap space available they're actually $44 million over the cap in 2025 which is going to be a disaster after the season but that's a future Dolphins problem that we don't have to talk about right now um but if they had to trade for anyone I would try to find someone to play that interior offensive line position I'd have to look up and kind of become more informed on it I don't really want to throw a name out there and do this question Injustice and not give you a good qualified answer cuz I don't really know who could be available but there will be players that might not make the roster or players that really outperform other players in training camp on different teams which could lead to Interior offensive linemen being available on the trade market and that's the number one place I would go if I was Chris G and the Dolphins if they're looking to make a trade in addition to this roster my boy Chef je Chop Robinson with a question could you potentially see chop Robinson being a beast this season after what we've seen in training camp absolutely um I think chop is going to have a really big role on this Dolphins team now it's a question of what you think a beast is right like what would satisfy you for first year production from chop Robinson because he wasn't the most productive player at Penn State last year and that was one of my biggest knocks on him when the Dolphins ended up selecting him at number 21 overall but when you watch the film you can just see how explosive he is how Bend he is how Twitchy he is and how he's able to really make opposing quarterbacks feel uncomfortable due to his speed and athleticism on the perimeter now being behind Jaylen Phillips Bradley chub when fully healthy probably Emanuel agba as well like being that fourth Edge rusher like I don't know what we can fully expect in terms of production but it would not Shock me if chop had four and a half five sacks in relief during the season or having to play because of an injury ahead of him at times I do think chop is going to be productive and have a role on this team now I don't think he's going to have a crazy rookie year where he has eight eight and a half sacks don't believe that's going to be the case whatsoever but anywhere between 2 and a half to 5 and a half is definitely on the table for me and I just want to see him make people uncomfortable with his quick first step and bendiness on the edge I'm not going to compare him to Miles Garrett but he has those similar athletic traits and crazy athleticism like miles Garrett does have make sure you are subscribed to the channel because we are playing the Falcons on the field on Friday night but we're also playing them on the YouTube street so make sure you hit that sub button you're at Dolphins today daily content going to be live for that game on Friday where we want to beat the Falcons on the field but also in YouTube trailing by 12 right now hit that sub button to get the best content on YouTube Chris with a question thoughts Connor Williams on bringing back offensive lineman Connor Williams well depending on when you're watching this he could already be signed he visited the Seattle Seahawks in the past and now visited the Baltimore Ravens I don't think Williams is really an option for Miami to bring him back I would be very open to do so but it was reported that Williams has no intention on going back to the Right Guard spot he wants to continue playing Center and they signed Aaron Brewer now sure Aaron Brewer could maybe get bumped to Right Guard or left guard if absolutely need be but he's more well suited to be a center and I think Conor Williams as good as he is that boat is kind of sailed with him in Miami at this point sure would he help this team get better yes but I don't think Chris Greer has any want or need to bring him back and I don't think Conor Williams really wants to come back if we're going to be honest either it's unfortunate because Connor was really good for Miami although he did have some snap problems I don't the way they come Starting Linebackers together norga 305 starting linebackers yeah um we could go through the starting linebackers so if we're including edges into this and outside linebackers if you will I still think that and I'm going to bet on the dolphins having Bradley chub and Jaylen Phillips for week one so I'll go Bradley chubs and Jaylen Phillips week one on the opposing starters now the question is are they what type of Defense are they going to run are they going to run two interior defensive lineman and then with a nickel package like it's hard to predict the starting linebackers but if you're going on the interior David long Jr is definitely your number one linebacker and it depends like it wouldn't shock me if Jordan Brooks was Tred out there to be the linebacker next to David long Jr it wouldn't shock me if it was Anthony Walker Jr we still have to see how those two battle out for the rest of the camp but they do have contrasting Styles Anthony Walker Jr being a better pass coverage linebacker and Jordan Brooks being that better run stopper and Thumper over the middle of the field we're going to continue answering some of these Dolphins questions but the season is here folks and if you want to represent the dolphins with a jersey on game days chatsports.com dophins Jersey is

link it's in the description and comments of today's video so get yours today represent the Dolphins every single day Sher May with a question here talk New Center us talk talk to us about our new center please yeah so the Dolphins signed um a center a couple days ago they released a guy as well due to injury kind of just a camp body if I'm going to be honest like I don't think he's expected to really be someone to make this team right and I I don't think it would be someone that you like if you're signing someone in mid August that's not a big- Time name that's a veteran holding out and he's just trying to fight for a roster spot he'd have to really perform in Camp but I don't really see that being a possibility you also already have un guys that you had an undrafted for agency like Andrew Meyer who is battling for roster spot so to me I don't really see a way for him to make this roster now that Tim Bowens is going to Tim Bowens be inducted in the Dolphins honor roll yeah congrats to him that was announced a week ago who in your opinion should be next I'm going to be really showing my age here because like to me like it's tough to uh like go out and say like someone I never watched even though they might be more deserving like why not bring in like Ricky Williams or like Ted gin Jr like those guys were so fun to watch for these Dolphins teams like why not man I I'd kind of go in that fun route um there's a lot of deserving people out there we'll see who they end up bringing in soon though Chris with a question who do you think will be a breakout player Friday night ooh that's a good question who's going to perform the best for the Dolphins this upcoming Friday see here is it biased to say Malik Washington maybe might might be might be biased to say Malik Washington you know what I'm actually going to go with a different rookie I'm going to go with Jaylen Wright and the rookie running back out of Tennessee like we talked about how he was six the depth chart and the initial depth chart on yesterday's video but if he really is that late like he's going to get a lot of run in the second half and I think if he's getting a lot of plays opportunities and a lot of carries a lot of touches in the second half against opposing teams like third or fourth string defense I think Jaylen Wright's going to light them up and if he's truly listed as the rb6 and gets rb6 rolls in the second half of the first preseason game I think Jaylen Wright is going to be someone going nuclear on Friday night speaking of Friday night who do you got Dolphins or the Falcons type Mia if you think the Dolphins are going to get the win type ATL if you think it's going to be the Falcons all right that will do it for today's mailbag make sure you are following us on Instagram
