Jones looks back on his time in Miami from 1998–2000, where he became a key part of a ferocious Dolphins defense alongside Zach Thomas, Jason Taylor, and Tim Bowens under head coach Jimmy Johnson. From the legendary defensive performance against the Raiders in 1998 to the blue-collar mentality that defined that era of Dolphins football, Jones shares stories about what made that unit so tough.

Jones also reflects on entering the league with the powerhouse Dallas Cowboys, playing alongside legends like Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, and Michael Irvin, and what it was like being part of one of football’s most dominant teams of the 1990s.

But this episode goes far beyond the field.

Robert opens up about an incredibly tragic childhood — including the murder of his mother by his father — and how those experiences shaped the man, husband, and father he has become. He explains how football became his path to building the life he never had, and why his true dream in the NFL wasn’t fame or championships, but simply creating a stable and loving family.

Along the way, Jones shares unforgettable stories about chasing down intruders before a game, battling fullbacks like Sam Gash, learning from Dolphins legends like Dan Marino, and the mentality that made those late-90s Dolphins defenses one of the most physical units in football.

Seth Levit was joined by ESPN NFL Reporter Jeff Darlington and Sun-Sentinel columnist Chris Perkins to break down the Miami Dolphins’ latest quarterback decisions and the team’s uncertain path forward.

Darlington dives into Miami’s bold move to sign Malik Willis, explaining why it could either become the biggest gamble of the offseason—or the move that jumpstarts the franchise’s rebuild. The conversation quickly turns into a spirited debate about who deserves the most blame for the Dolphins’ recent struggles: the roster construction, the coaching decisions, or the quarterback situation.

Then the night takes an unexpected turn…

After arriving late, O.J. McDuffie crashes the show and brings along a surprise guest — Miami Dolphins Hall of Fame linebacker Zach Thomas — leading to a hilarious and nostalgic trip down memory lane about the Dolphins locker room, South Florida nightlife, and the personalities that defined an earlier era of the franchise.

• Whether Miami’s rebuild was inevitable after the Tua era
• Who bears the most responsibility for the Dolphins’ recent failures
• What the team must do to rebuild the locker room culture
• Classic Dolphins stories and behind-the-scenes moments from the team’s past

According to the transcript, the night kicked off with technical chaos (echoes everywhere) before Dolphins legend Richmond Webb made a surprise entrance to wish Juice a happy birthday and crack jokes about Juice’s new sports car.

From there, the guest list exploded:

• Richmond Webb sharing laughs and alumni-weekend plans
• Travis Wingfield briefly “possessed” by his alter ego T-Dogg before bringing the positivity back
• Bobby Shouse lighting up the chat with his Dive Bar chaos, including a joke about “white chicks writing an email” that sent everyone over the edge
• And Chad Van Horn, birthday hype man AND legal powerhouse, threatening to “sue everybody” for the madness unfolding on screen
• 
  

Meanwhile, Juice reflected on the love from fans and old teammates — calling it one of those rare nights that brings back the energy of a real Dolphins locker room.

Surprises. Trash talk. Alumni stories. Too many echoes. Too much laughter.

This is Fish Tank LIVE at its most unfiltered — and the perfect way to celebrate one of the most beloved Miami Dolphins of all time.

The crew dives into why Mark Clayton once again failed to reach the Seniors finalist stage and how his résumé stacks up against contemporaries like Stanley Morgan and Henry Ellard, and what keeps Clayton from gaining traction “in the room.” Armando also provides rare, insider perspective, including detailed film work showing Webb battling Bruce Smith one-on-one as a rookie, and explains how perception, advocacy, and history shape Canton conversations more than most fans realize.

The conversation shifts to Miami’s present-day outlook, from Mike McDaniel’s future and the Dolphins’ need to finish strong, to how interim GM Champ Kelly is being evaluated and why the narrative of Miami being a “desirable job” for established general managers doesn’t quite match how the NFL actually works.

Meanwhile, Sam Marcoux brings trademark Perfectville energy — delivering punchlines, poking fun at the chaos, and turning the late-night vibe into full-on comedy as the crew jumps from Canton debates to coaching questions to Dolphins history.

Smart analysis, candid insight, Hall of Fame nuance, and late-night laughs — another classic inside The Fish Tank.

After the Miami Dolphins stunned the Buffalo Bills, O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit are fired up — joined by Chris Perkins (back from the injury report) and The Legendary Sevach for a lively breakdown of the win, what it means for the team’s future, and how Miami can keep the momentum rolling.

The crew dives into:

• Mike McDaniel’s renewed energy (and possible drive-by victory lap at Elbo Room 🍻)
• Why Frank Smith moving to the sideline has changed the offense
• The rise of De’Von Achane and the youth movement in Miami’s locker room
• What Champ Kelly’s approach could mean for the Dolphins’ GM job
• And a wild “I Tried to Tell Y’all” segment that hits everything from Buffalo tears to travel curses

It’s raw, it’s late, and it’s classic Fish Tank — unfiltered Dolphins talk like only Juice, Big Seth, Perk, and Sevach can deliver.

In this fiery episode of Fish Tank LIVE, O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit dive into the shocking midseason shake-up that sent long-time Dolphins GM Chris Grier packing. Joining the conversation are Douglie DoWrong, the king of Dolphins YouTube, and producer The Legendary Sevach, as the crew breaks down what the move really means for Mike McDaniel, Tua Tagovailoa, and the future of the franchise.

From the failures of the 2020 draft to the fallout of the trade deadline and the lingering question of whether this team is still trying to compete down the stretch, the guys don’t hold back. Douglie explains why he “tried to tell you” Grier wouldn’t make it to season’s end, Sevach rewinds to the 2018 draft and the one that got away (Lamar Jackson!), and Juice traces the Dolphins’ endless cycle of starting over.

Born and raised in Fort Pierce, Florida, Anthony Harris took his talents to the Southeastern Conference where he played linebacker at Auburn University. Despite his success at Auburn, Harris went undrafted in 1996 before signing with the Miami Dolphins as a free agent, benefitting from first-year Fins head coach Jimmy Johnson’s commitment to youth and speed. Harris worked his way into the starting lineup for the final three games of his rookie year and became a full-time starter in 1997.

An Official Miami Dolphins Podcast

One might find it hard to believe that a small-town Wisconsin kid could be come an All-Pro NFL linebacker – in Miami no less! – but that is exactly what John Offerdahl did. Offerdahl received just one Division I offer following high school, a partial scholarship to Western Michigan University. It didn’t take long for the partial to become a full scholarship, nor did it take long for Offerdahl to become a four-year starter, team leader, three-time All-MAC player, and second-team All American. It was his performance in the 1986 Senior Bowl, however, that truly peaked the interest of NFL scouts as Offerdahl’s goal line stops against Heisman Trophy-winning folk hero Bo Jackson helped him earn the game’s Defensive MVP award. Don Shula’s Miami Dolphins were impressed enough to use their first selection in the NFL draft on Offerdahl and he did not disappoint. In his rookie season, Offerdahl was selected to the Pro Bowl, named a second-team All Pro, and shared NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. The Pro Bowl became a second home for Offerdahl as Shula’s defensive captain was named to the all star game in each of his first five seasons. When he wasn’t knocking down running backs, Offerdahl tackled the restaurant industry, building Offerdahl’s Bagel Gourmet into a 10-store mini empire and eventually selling the business to what would become Einstein Bros. Five years after the sale, he re-entered the restaurant industry opening what is now called Offerdahl’s Off the Grill.

In The Tank, John vividly details his head-on meetings with Bo Jackson, shares how he handled an epic Don Shula expletive-filled rant, explains how a contract hold out also may have helped prepare him for the restaurant business, and discusses how his desire for, and receptiveness to, good coaching has shaped his life in many ways.

Wes Welker has been underestimated for most of his life…and what a mistake that has been! Despite a spectacular high school career for which he was named the Oklahoma State Player of the Year as a senior, the 5-9 Welker did not receive a single college offer until a Texas Tech recruit backed out of his scholarship at the last minute. As a Red Raider, Welker quickly earned the nickname “The Natural” and over four years, hauled in 21 receiving touchdowns, two rushing TDs, and set then-NCAA records for punt return yards (1,761) and punt return touchdowns (8), but did not receive an invite to the NFL combine, and went undrafted in 2004. Welker signed with the San Diego Chargers as a free agent and made the team’s final 53-man roster, only to be released after the first game of the season. The Miami Dolphins signed Welker and he became an immediate cult hero in South Florida. Initially shining as a special teams standout (and still holding several team records in the kicking game), Welker quickly became a valuable contributor to the Dolphins offense as well. The New England Patriots traded for Welker prior to the 2007 season, and he rewarded them by becoming one of the most productive wide receivers in NFL history, leading the league in receptions in 2007, 2009, and 2011, earning five Pro Bowl nods, and finishing his career with 16,797 all-purpose yards and nearly 15 NFL records.

Wes dove in with OJ and Seth prior to the 2021 NFL Draft and discussed his Cherokee heritage, explains a helmet-sized initiation into the Dolphins locker room, fondly recalls attending an outrageous bar mitzvah with Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas, shares how he pulled Tom Brady and Bill Belichick into an epic prank of fellow former Dolphin Larry Izzo, and reveals his thoughts on whether or not he deserves a bust in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Dissatisfied with the download ranking of his previous appearance on the show (and even more dissatisfied with the fact that Seth IS satisfied with the ranking), Darlington dives in with the same fervor that has made him one of the top NFL reporters in the business. In this episode, Jeff gives us an inside look at the mindset of journalists as it relates to developing relationships with players, commitment to accuracy, and even the current trend of postgame interviews on zoom. He also sheds light on the Dolphins 2005 team rallying cry, “Why Not Us?,” reflects on how the rest of the sports world reacted to his reports that Tom Brady would not return to the New England Patriots prior to the 2020 NFL season, explains how his refusal to plan for just about anything resulted in a shared hotel room night with fellow writer Jason Cole, and looks to one-up long-time friend, Channing Crowder, with a Matt Roth story of his own.

If there is one thing the Huard family knows, it’s quarterback play! Born in Yakima, Washington and raised in Puyallup, Damon Huard was one of three brothers (Brock and Luke) who played Division I college football, with both Damon and Brock also enjoying NFL careers. Although he finished college as the Washington Huskies’ all-time passing leader, Huard went undrafted in 1996, eventually signing with the Cincinnati Bengals as an undrafted free agent. Huard was waived in training camp and spent the entire year out of football before Jimmy Johnson brought him to South Florida and his professional football journey would truly begin. In The Tank, Damon explains what it was like to have played with both Dan Marino and Tom Brady, provides the amazing details surrounding his “coming out party” after replacing Marino mid-game in a thrilling come-from-behind victory against the New England Patriots, reveals the real story behind Olindo Mare’s 1999 Pro Bowl season, and discusses the quarterback competition with Jay Fiedler prior to 2000.

DNA Extraction proves beneficial in a multitude of areas including forensics, ancestry tracking, genetic engineering, and in the case of the Ferguson family…long snapping ability! While big brother, Reid, may have set the tone, Blake Ferguson has clearly flexed his long snapping genetics, helping the LSU Tigers to a National Championship in 2020, being selected by the Miami Dolphins in the sixth round of the NFL Draft later that year, and executing precision snaps for each kick Dolphins All-Pro Kicker Jason Sanders made last season.

In The Tank, Blake discusses the important, but nearly anonymous role of an NFL Long Snapper, the Ferguson family scouting prowess and white board heroics, and the After The Snap podcast Blake and Reid recently launched. Speaking of scouting, Blake also shares the first five active Dolphins players he would draft if starting a basketball team and sheds some perspective on living life as a Type 1 Diabetic.

Take one look at Raekwon Davis’ imposing 6-7, 330 lb presence and it’s hard to imagine a scenario where he did not stand out in a crowd. It wasn’t until Alabama head coach Nick Saban stumbled upon the Meridian, Mississippi native, however, that Davis transformed from virtual unknown to a starter on the Crimson Tide’s SEC Championship defense as a true freshman in 2016. By 2017, the big man was a National Champion. Miami Dolphins General Manager, Chris Grier and Head Coach, Brian Flores selected Davis in the second round of the 2020 Draft and he rewarded them with 40 tackles in 12 starts, landing a spot on the PFWA All-Rookie Team.

In The Tank, Raekwon discusses his humble beginnings, including two mentors at Meridian High School who remain a huge part of his life today. He also explains a strange Twitter hack, provides his perspective on “Big Man Etiquette,” and invites OJ and Seth to visit the Miami Dolphins stunning new Baptist Health Training Complex as his guests.

Cox was drafted in the fifth round of the 1991 NFL Draft by the Miami Dolphins and made an immediate impact, starting 13 games as a rookie and making a name for himself with his toughness and physical, aggressive style of play. In his second year, Cox recorded 14 sacks and earned the first of three Pro Bowl selections over the course of his five seasons in Miami, during which time he was a team leader and mentor to many of his teammates, ultimately being selected as one of the Top 50 players in franchise history. In The Tank, Bryan fondly recalls his hometown of East St. Louis, shares his deep admiration and respect for former Dolphins Head Coach Don Shula, and explains his departure from South Florida prior to the 1996 season. Bryan also recants his epic rivalry with the Buffalo Bills, candidly explains why he feels he should be a member of the team’s Honor Roll, and takes an introspective look at his coaching career.

Olindo Mare was born in South Florida and attended Cooper City High School, less than five miles away from the Miami Dolphins Training Facility in Davie, where he would spend a decade rewriting the team’s record books. Mare’s journey to reach his destiny was not a traditional one, however. The son of Italian immigrants, Mare’s first love was soccer and it wasn’t until he and a friend witnessed an uninspired performance by their high school kicker that they decided to try out for the football team during his junior season. Mare did not immediately receive a scholarship, and played for MacMurray College in Illinois before he and his father made their own kicking video that compelled the Syracuse Orange to give Olindo a shot. Mare went undrafted in 1995, but was signed to the New York Giants practice squad, where he would spend an entire season before Jimmy Johnson gave him a chance to compete for a starting role prior to the Dolphins 1996 training camp, and opportunity that would lead to a decorated 16-year NFL career. In The Tank, “Lindo” recalls kicking in an overgrown field at light posts, being inspired by a Pete Stoyanovich poster years before ultimately meeting the former Dolphins kicker, his unique relationship with Fins Special Teams Coach, Mike Westhoff, and what he refers to the most special time of his career in which he teamed with Dolphins legends including Dan Marino, Jason Taylor, Zach Thomas, Sam Madison, Patrick Surtain, and others.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Jordan found a home with the street gang, The Bloods, around the same time he found football. Despite being shot, spending time in jail, and playing less than one season at Long Beach City College, he worked his way on to the Los Angeles Raiders roster in 1993 and enjoyed an eight-year professional career. Prior to the 1996 season, Jimmy Johnson signed Charles to a three-year contract, during which time he teamed with Dan Marino and our very own O.J. McDuffie. In The Tank, Charles candidly shares details from his early gang life, explains how Hall of Famers James Lofton and Howie Long helped him earn opportunities with the Raiders and then the Dolphins, and reflects on life lessons he wished he had learned sooner.

While working as an artist in the Miami Herald newsroom in the early 1970s, Dave Cross took up photography as a hobby and began shooting Miami Dolphins games. Dave’s hobby developed into a passion, which ultimately led to a job offer from the NFL franchise. In 1984, Cross accepted and became the Dolphins’ official team photographer, a position he would hold for the next 30 years. Charged with preserving the team’s visual history, Cross has photographed every Dolphin from Bob Griese to Dan Marino; Larry Csonka to Ricky Williams; Bill Stanfill to Jason Taylor. While in The Tank, Dave explains how he made the transition from newspaper man to team photographer, reluctantly recalls a time where he forgot to put film in his camera before photographing Jimmy Johnson and his coaching staff, and details his journey with the 1972 Dolphins on their trip to the White House. Dave was also married on the team charter returning from Don Shula’s 325^th coaching victory, gave Harley Davidson riding lessons to Dave Wannstedt, and is a dead ringer for former Notre Dame head coach, Lou Holtz.

Raised in Oakland, California, Davone Bess starred at Skyline High School under the direction of Oakland area coaching legend, John Beam. Bess received a scholarship offer to Oregon State, however a post-graduation arrest led to the loss of his scholarship and more than a year in the Byron Boys Ranch Juvenile Facility. With help from Coach Beam, Bess overcame the odds and ultimately attended the University of Hawaii, where he would set school records with 293 receptions and 41 touchdowns in just three seasons. Despite his success at Hawaii, Bess went undrafted in 2008 and signed with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent. Bess not only made the team, but finished the regular season with 54 receptions, second most in NFL history for an undrafted rookie wideout. In one of the most powerful Fish Tank episodes to date, Davone candidly shares the details of his arrest after high school, as well as the lessons he learned while incarcerated. He fondly recalls his days with the Miami Dolphins, including barbeques at Paul Soliai’s house, and the camaraderie he shared with fellow wide receivers Ted Ginn, Jr. and Greg Camarillo. Davone is also extremely honest and vulnerable as he opens up about his post career struggles with depression.

While not widely recruited out of Tuscaloosa High School, a chance film room discovery by Bear Bryant led to Bob Baumhower playing on the defensive line for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Baumhower helped lead the Tide to a 31-4 record during his college career while earning consecutive All-SEC honors in 1975 and 1976. The Miami Dolphins took Bob in the second round of the 1977 NFL Draft and he was thrust into the starting lineup, making an immediate impact at nose tackle as a rookie. Baumhower would play his entire nine-year career in Miami, playing in 130 games with 129 starts, earning five Pro Bowl nods and five All-Pro selections (2 first-team; 3 second team) as well as he anchored the Fins Killer B’s defense of the 1980s. In 2008, he was inducted into the Miami Dolphins Honor Roll. In The Tank, Bob shared his unlikely path to the University of Alabama and how one conversation with the legendary Bear Bryant changed his life. He also recalled some rookie hazing from Dolphins great Manny Fernandez, enjoying the fun and sun of South Florida with the likes of Mark Duper, Nat Moore, and Hugh Green, partnering with Joe Namath in his first experience in the restaurant business that would lead to a life-long post-football career, and a trip to Lion Country Safari that resulted in an unexpected house pet.

Standing 6 ft. 5 in. and weighing more than 230 pounds, Brandon Marshall looks more defensive end than wide receiver, which is exactly why he was nicknamed “The Beast” during his prolific 13-year NFL career. Another reason for this moniker is his monstrous stat line, which includes 970 receptions for 12,351 yards and 83 touchdowns. While Marshall began his career with the Denver Broncos, the Miami Dolphins traded for the wideout in 2010 following three consecutive 100+ reception seasons and two Pro Bowl selections. It was in Miami, however, that Marshall’s off the field and personal challenges drove him to seek help, ultimately leading to a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). In The Tank, Brandon recalls his difficulties in Miami and candidly shares a conversation with Ricky Williams that led him down the path of recovery. He openly and honestly evaluates his role as a teammate and leader, including an incident with former Dolphins first-round draft choice Vontae Davis. Brandon also discusses his philanthropic work in the mental health space, and two of his latest endeavors in House of Athlete and the I Am Athlete Podcast.

A native of Reserve, Louisiana, A.J. Duhe followed a legendary high school career by becoming one of the top players in the Southeastern Conference at LSU. In 1977, the Miami Dolphins selected Duhe with the 13^th overall pick in the first round of the NFL Draft and he did not disappoint, tallying 83 tackles and seven sacks to be named the 1977 Associated Press NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. Duhe would play his entire eight-year professional career with the Dolphins as both a defensive end and linebacker, earning Pro Bowl honors in his final season of 1984. He is best remembered, however, for his performance in the 1982 AFC Championship game in the Orange Bowl against the New York Jets. In that game, Duhe snagged three interceptions, returning one 35 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter to seal Miami’s 14-0 victory and a trip to Super Bowl XVII. In The Tank, A.J. shares his passion for food that may also come with a bit of individuality, recalls how tough Don Shula was, but also how much he respects the legendary Dolphins Head Coach, explains where he fit in among the Killer B’s Defense, and offers some marriage advice that only a man married 40 years can provide.

After turning down Harvard to walk on at Stanford, Greg Camarillo signed with the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent in 2005. While with the Chargers, Camarillo was relegated to special teams duties, however in 2007, former Chargers offensive coordinator, Cam Cameron, took the helm in Miami and claimed Greg off of waivers. Camarillo caught just 8 passes for 160 yards that season, however one of those catches became the play that would define his seven-year NFL career. The Dolphins begin the ’07 season with 13 consecutive losses but on December 16, Miami quarterback Cleo Lemon connected with Camarillo on a 64-yard touchdown pass in overtime against the Baltimore Ravens, clinching the team’s first and only win of the season. In The Tank, Greg reflects on his game winning catch that has cemented his place in Dolphins history, sharing what led up to that moment and how that singular play has impacted the rest of his life. He also opens up about the difficulties of being traded, the importance of having a parking pass when entering Hard Rock Stadium on game day, being inspired by words of wisdom from Michael Jordan, and explains why he is a legend of O.J. McDuffie’s Grand Ghoul Halloween event.

Born in Detroit, Bart Scott overcame long odds to star at Southern Illinois University. Scott was not selected in the 2002 NFL Draft and eventually signed with the Baltimore Ravens, quickly becoming a special teams standout. Following a Ray Lewis injury in 2005, Scott saw his playing time and production increase, a prelude to the best season in his career the following year. In 2006, Scott started every game for the Ravens, finishing with a career-high 145 tackles, 9.5 sacks and two interceptions en route to a Pro Bowl appearance. From 2009 through 2012, Scott played for the New York Jets, eventually teaming with Miami Dolphins legend, Jason Taylor, in 2010. Upon his retirement from football, Scott began a successful media career, including a two-year stint on The NFL Today on CBS as well as his current role as a mid-day host on ESPN New York radio. In this episode, Bart becomes the first person with no Miami Dolphins affiliation to dive in The Fish Tank. He reveals what he believes to be the Dolphins secret weapon, shares a behind-the-scenes look at how the 2008 Baltimore Ravens become the most successful defenders of Miami’s Wildcat offense but also remembers with great disdain what it felt like to lose to the 0-13 Dolphins in 2007. Finally, Bart gives OJ and Seth the real story behind his famous “Can’t Wait” moment.

Keith Jackson, a 2001 College Football Hall of Fame inductee, played for the University of Oklahoma from 1984 to 1987, twice earning consensus All-America honors, while also helping the Sooners earn a National Championship in 1985. Buddy Ryan and the Philadelphia Eagles made Jackson the 13^th overall selection in the 1988 NFL Draft and did not disappoint, being selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his first three seasons in Philly. Jackson joined the Miami Dolphins on September 29, 1992, ending an extended holdout from the Eagles and becoming a pioneer in the National Football League’s free agency process. The All-Pro tight end wasted little time in becoming one of Dan Marino’s favorite targets, as well as a fan favorite, hauling in a 24-yard touchdown pass against the Buffalo Bills just five days after he signed with Miami. In his three seasons with the Dolphins, Jackson tallied 146 receptions for 1,880 yards and 18 TDs and was selected to the Pro Bowl twice. During his visit in The Fish Tank, Jackson fondly reflects on his tenure in Miami, particularly his appreciation for Marino, while also discussing the challenges he faced with the Dolphins’ weekly weigh-ins, his efforts to help a young McDuffie manage his own expectations, and shares a poignant homage to the late, great Don Shula.

A three-year starter at Ole Miss, Todd Wade snagged first-team All-SEC and second-team All-America honors his senior season before the Miami Dolphins selected him in the second round of the 2000 NFL Draft (the team’s first draft choice that year). Wade immediately became a fixture at right tackle for the Dolphins, starting 63 of the team’s 64 regular season contests and three playoff games during his four years in Miami. Along the way, he was selected to the NFL’s All-Rookie Team in 2000 and helped lead the way for three 1,000-yard rushing seasons (Lamar Smith in 2000 and Ricky Williams in 2002 & 2003). Wade would play in four more NFL seasons, including two in Houston and two in Washington. In The Tank, Todd provides insight on playing with both Williams and Smith, discusses scuba diving adventures with Zach Thomas and Jason Taylor that may have gone too far, fondly recalls the characters in the Dolphins offensive line room, reflects on epic training camp brawls with the Dolphins defensive line, reveals his Marvel alter ego, and in a Fish Tank first, goes into full karaoke mode to close the show.

A Baltimore native who played his college football in Warren, New Jersey, Keith Sims would go on to enjoy a standout career as a left guard at Iowa Sate University, which would ultimately land him in the school’s Athletics Hall of Fame. In 1990, looking to bolster their offensive line and protect franchise quarterback Dan Marino, the Miami Dolphins selected Sims in the second round of the NFL Draft after also taking left tackle Richmond Webb with their first-round selection. For the next decade, Sims and Webb would anchor the Dolphins offensive line and earn multiple trips to the Pro Bowl, with Sims reaching that height three times from 1993 to 1995. In The Tank, Keith shares how much he enjoyed making up half of the Fins 1-2 punch on the offensive line alongside Richmond Webb for so many years, explains why it might make more sense to take a cab instead of a limo to a game against the Buffalo Bills of the 1990s, recalls a meal that nearly led to him missing the team’s flight to Tokyo, and opens up about his struggles with weight and depression following his playing career. Keith also shares how, along with his wife and children, he tours the country as the Soulful RV Family.

Jason Cole is a Pro Football Hall of Fame selector who has covered the NFL since 1992, when he began as a Miami Dolphins beat reporter for the Sun-Sentinel. In addition to the Sentinel, he has worked for The Miami Herald, Yahoo! Sports, Bleacher Report, and Fansided, where he served as Editor in Chief. Cole has authored or co-authored seven books, including his most recent project, Elway: A Relentless Life. In The Tank, Jason shares some of his favorite Zach Thomas stories, reveals the events that led to Gene Atkins taking a shot at him in the Dolphins locker room, provides his side of the story of Jimmy Johnson’s expletive-filled rant following one of his articles, and how he reacted to it, and tries to justify why he is releasing a John Elway book on Dan Marino’s birthday.

Following a stand-out career at Arizona State University, Trace Armstrong played his final season at the University of Florida, where he was recognized as a first-team All-American. Armstrong was selected by the Chicago Bears as the 11^th overall pick in the 1989 NFL Draft and he joined a defensive line that featured Richard Dent, Dan Hampton, and William “The Refrigerator” Perry. Armstrong played six seasons in Chicago, racking up 42 sacks and multiple player of the week and month awards. In 1995, the Miami Dolphins traded for Armstrong, and he would go on to play six seasons in Miami, tallying 56.5 sacks, including a career-high 16.5 on his way to a Pro Bowl nod in 2000. In The Tank, Trace, recalls how his early years in Chicago helped to shape the rest of his career, explains why he and Dolphins linebackers Zach Thomas and Larry Izzo were so close despite his role in their swimming debacle on Ft. Lauderdale beach, shares some of his all-time favorite locker room pranks, and sheds some light on how his role as NFLPA President was as important to him as his on-field work and ultimately helped lead him to his current career as a sports agent.

A South Florida native, Twan Russell played football and ran track at St. Thomas Aquinas High School before playing college ball at the University of Miami and ultimately having the opportunity to play professionally in his hometown as a member of the Miami Dolphins, where he was a special teams standout. Following a seven-year career that also included stints in Washington and Atlanta, Twan returned to the Miami Dolphins to oversee the team’s Youth Programs. Diving in with OJ and Seth, Twan recalls an awkward draft day moment with the Detroit Lions, tells his side of the story originally told in The Tank by David Bowens, explains why he’s still waiting for Larry Izzo to pay up on old lottery winnings, and provides continued evidence of Zach Thomas’ greatness.  

A California native, Manny Fernandez went undrafted out of the University of Utah, signing with the fledgling Miami Dolphins franchise in 1968 under then head coach, George Wilson. Fernandez was voted the Dolphins Outstanding Defensive Lineman his first five seasons with the team but his game began to raise to another level in 1970 as Don Shula took the helm. He was named a second team Pro Bowl performer that season and again in 1973, when he was also honored as the NFL’s Unsung Player of the Year. As consistent as he was throughout his eight-year career, it was the Super Bowl that brought the best out of him. During the Dolphins’ three consecutive Super Bowl appearances, Fernandez tallied 28 tackles and three sacks, including a 17 tackle, 1 sack performance in Super Bowl VII that many felt was worthy of the game’s MVP rather than Fins safety, Jake Scott. In 2014, Yahoo! Sports ranked him as the 10^th best player in Super Bowl history. In The Tank, Manny discussed his less than ideal relationship with his coach at Utah, revealed his reason for choosing Miami over two other teams interested in him out of college and recalled the dramatic change in Miami, as Don Shula’s incredibly tough but highly effective style would change the franchise forever. Manny also shared the true story behind the legend of the alligator that turned up in the iconic coach’s shower, the reason why a mysterious illness not only nearly caused him to miss his enshrinement in the Dolphins Honor Roll, but almost cost him his life, and explained why Zach Thomas may never go hunting with him again.

For the past 30 years, Dave Hyde has covered sports for the South Florida Sun Sentinel, providing perspective on everything from Little League Baseball to Dwyane Wade lead championship runs with the Miami Heat, and of course, Miami Dolphins football. This year, Hyde was named one of the top 10 sports columnists in the nation by the Associated Press Sports Editors, his 16^th time receiving this recognition. He has also authored two books, including “Still Perfect!: The Untold Story of the 1972 Miami Dolphins." In The Tank, Dave discusses the early days of his sports writing career, standing up to coaching giant Don Shula, breaking Jimmy Johnson’s spirit in an unlikely way, and being greeted in the Dolphins locker room by a NSFW message from former Fins linebacker, Bryan Cox.

The Miami Dolphins had high hopes for Richmond Webb when they selected him out of Texas A&M with the ninth overall pick of the 1990 draft and the left tackle not only met, but greatly exceeded all expectations. Charged with protecting Dan Marino’s blindside, Webb was an instant starter on the Dolphins offensive line. He played every offensive snap during his rookie year, only giving up two sacks and instantly proving he could go toe-to-toe with divisional rival, Bruce Smith. Webb was so dominant that he was named to the Pro Bowl in each of his first seven seasons, landing a spot on the NFL 1990s All-Decade Team. In The Tank, Richmond reveals the great advice he was given by Buddy Ryan at the Senior Bowl, vividly recalls getting sensitive after being taken to task by Dolphins coaching icon Don Shula, shares why he and guard Keith Sims were such a formidable duo, and provides an in the huddle perspective on the greatness of Dan Marino.

One of the more outspoken and boisterous players to don a Dolphins uniform in the past 25 years, Ray Lucas’ story always comes back to his native Harrison, New Jersey. A heavily recruited high school athlete, Lucas turned away the suitors to stay home and attend Rutgers University. From 1992-95, Lucas became one of the most prolific Scarlet Knights signal callers in school history, ultimately being inducted in the Rutgers Athletics Hall of Fame in 2017. Despite his success in college, however, Lucas went undrafted in 1996, eventually signing with the New England Patriots as a free agent and beginning his NFL career as a wide receiver and on special teams. After one season with the Patriots, Lucas followed Bill Parcells to the New York Jets where he moved back into the quarterback room. In 1999, replacing an injured Vinny Testaverde, Ray finally got his shot under center, winning 6 of his 8 starts to lead the struggling Jets to an 8-8 finish. In 2001, Lucas joined the Dolphins where he backed up starter Jay Fiedler for two seasons and quickly became a popular personality in the Miami locker room. In The Tank, Ray discusses his love for all things New Jersey, his experiences with the Dolphins-Jets rivalry from both sides of the fence, his fondness for his Dolphins teammates, and his appreciation for current Fins Head Coach Brian Flores. He also candidly details his struggles with a pain killer addition that nearly cost him his life.

A two-sport athlete at Dartmouth College, Jay Fiedler set school records for touchdown passes (58), passing yards (6,684), and total offense (7,249) with the Ivy League program while receiving his degree in Mechanical Engineering. His National Football League journey didn’t start quite as smoothly, however, with a five-year quest featuring stints with four different NFL teams, a stop in NFL Europe, and a coaching gig at Hofstra University before signing with the Miami Dolphins prior to the 2000 season. Fiedler battled Damon Huard for the starting quarterback position and ultimately became the successor to Dolphins icon, Dan Marino. Helping to lead the Fins to back-to-back 11-5 seasons in his first two years under center, Fiedler was 36-17 in his first four years with the club. He is also the last Dolphins starting quarterback to win a playoff game. In The Tank, Jay details his unlikely path to Miami, recalls the talented Dolphins squad of the early 2000s, and sheds some light on working with then, and current, offensive coordinator, Chan Gailey. He also shares some of the benefits of being a Jewish quarterback in Miami and reveals his little known connection to current Dolphins Head Coach Brian Flores.

Larry Izzo overcame long odds as an undersized linebacker from Rice University who landed an opportunity as an undrafted free agent with Jimmy Johnson’s Miami Dolphins in 1996. Izzo not only made the roster that year, but he quickly became a fan favorite and leader of the Dolphins special teams unit over the course of his five-year tenure in South Florida, culminating that run with a Pro Bowl selection following the 2000 season. Free Agency led Izzo to New England in 2001 and he never skipped a beat, earning two more Pro Bowl births and three Super Bowl titles on his way to becoming one of the most prolific special teams performers in league history. His 298 career special teams tackles registered over the course of his 14 seasons are the most in NFL annals. In The Tank, Izzo discusses his unlikely path to Miami, becoming the first player not named Dan Marino to make the Dolphins roster during Johnson’s inaugural campaign, his life-long friendship with Dolphins legend Zach Thomas, and a moment where he and O.J. did not see eye-to-eye. Larry also shares his passion for highbrow films, several examples of how he never backs down from a challenge, and he vividly recalls a time where his unique skill set resulted in a feat Bill Belichick had never witnessed before.

The decorated football career of Ricky Williams is the stuff of legend, featuring an NCAA career rushing record, the 1998 Heisman Trophy, becoming the first player ever to represent a National Football League team’s entire draft class in 1999, and an NFL rushing title in 2002. It is Williams’s enigmatic personality, however, that has often stood out even more than his gridiron greatness. The combination of the two endeared Williams to Miami Dolphins fans around the world when the team brought him to South Florida through a 2002 trade with the New Orleans Saints, and resulted in confusion, hurt, and outrage upon his unexpected but temporary retirement from football just days before the 2004 season. Diving in The Tank for the first time ever, Ricky fondly recalls his years as a Dolphin, particularly his prolific first two seasons. He candidly details the decisions behind his retirement (including a surprising assist from an unlikely source), his conversations with then Dolphins Head Coach Dave Wannstedt, and how meaningful and self-healing his time away from football was. Ricky also covers his respect for Nick Saban, his special friendship with fellow Fins rusher Ronnie Brown, and of course talks the Wild Cat from his perspective.  

There simply aren’t enough words to describe the magnitude of Don Shula’s impact on the Miami Dolphins, South Florida, and the entire National Football League, but leave it to The Fish Tank to give it a shot. As no single individual has been discussed more in The Tank, Juice and Seth look back on some of their favorite stories ever told about the winningest coach in NFL history. From members of the perfect 1972 Dolphins including Larry Csonka, Manny Fernandez, Larry Little, Mercury Morris, and Larry Seiple to former equipment managers Bobby Monica and Tony Egues, this tribute to Coach Shula features tough talk, heavy laughs, and of course, the winning edge. Others making an appearance in this tribute are All-Pro Richmond Webb, cornerback William Judson, Security Chief Stu Weinstein, and PR Man Harvey Greene, as well as heartfelt commentary from our very own O.J. McDuffie.

Joy Taylor’s quick wit and sharp tongue serve her well as co-host of one of the top-rated sports talk shows in the country, The Herd, on FOX Sports Radio and FS1. When she’s not joining Colin Cowherd in the studio, you can also catch her unique takes on the world of sports through her weekly podcast, “Maybe I’m Crazy.” Prior to becoming a fixture on the national sports media scene, Joy was a South Florida sports fan-favorite as she spent three years as co-host of 790 The Ticket’s Morning Show. Of course, those in Dolphins Nation have always known Joy as Jason Taylor’s sister and in The Tank, she sheds some light on what it’s like to grow up as a sibling of one of the team’s iconic players. From being driven across the country to watch her brother’s games, to coming of age before her JT’s – and his teammates – eyes, Joy’s Dolphins Tales are insightful and outrageous all at once, much like the younger “JT” herself.

Armando Salguero has covered the Miami Dolphins and the NFL since 1990, longer than many players on the current roster have been alive, and since many coaches on the team were in middle school. He is one of 48 Pro Football Hall of Fame selectors and is an Associated Press All-Pro and awards voter. Salguero has covered Dolphins games in London, Berlin, Mexico City and Tokyo and has covered 25 Super Bowls, the NBA Finals, and the Olympics. In The Tank, “Mando” discusses his path to covering the Dolphins, recalls upsetting iconic former Dolphins Head Coach Don Shula, provides never-before heard details of Jason Taylor’s Hall of Fame nomination, and shares the epic story of Jimmy Johnson’s eloquent reprimanding of former Herald co-worker, Jason Cole!

There were many factors that contributed to the 1972 Miami Dolphins perfect 17-0 record. One reason was their fearsome rushing attack that helped Miami become the first team in NFL history to feature two backs who each rushed for 1,000 yards in the same season. Those two backs were Pro Football Hall of Fame fullback Larry Csonka and the electric Mercury Morris. Paving the way for Csonka and Morris was an all-star offensive line lead by Hall of Fame guard, Larry Little. This legendary trio dives in to The Tank and it is no surprise that the result is one of our most spectacular episodes to date. From Csonka and Jim Kiick sneaking out of the team hotel through the bushes, to Little earning his poultry inspired nickname, to Morris’ supernatural exploits with “The Root Man,” these guys are as dynamic on the mic as they were on the field!

A multi-sport star in his native New Jersey, Jim Kiick went on to lead the Wyoming Cowboys in rushing from 1965-67 becoming the first player ever to earn first-team All-WAC honors three times. Kiick was selected by the then-AFL’s Miami Dolphins in the fifth round of the 1968 draft. He quickly forged a bond with Larry Csonka that lead to the duo being dubbed “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” Kiick’s versatility on the field helped him become a key figure in the Dolphins reign of the early 70’s including back-to-back Super Bowl titles, which of course also featured the 1972 Perfect Season. In The Tank, Kiick fondly recalls his friendship with Csonka, while not so fondly remembering Don Shula’s infamous 12-minute run. Jim discusses who did the blocking in the team’s famed backfield that also featured Mercury Morris, reveals who actually placed an alligator in Coach Shula’s shower, and shares some insight into where his athleticism comes from. Special thanks to Lori Musto and the staff at Independence Hall for hosting The Fish Tank and, more importantly, for the care they are providing to Jim.

Following a standout career at the University of Kentucky, running back Mark Higgs wasn’t selected until the eighth round of the 1988 NFL Draft, in part due to his small stature, standing only 5 feet 7 inches tall.  Higgs moved on to Philadelphia after only one year in Dallas, and then a year later joined the Miami Dolphins where he climbed the depth chart to eventually become the team’s leading rusher for three straight seasons. Affectionately referred to as “Higgy” he quickly became a fan-favorite in Miami. In The Tank, Higgs shares how it was more than just his size that set him back in the draft, discusses the differences between the three legendary Head Coaches (Don Shula, Tom Landry and Buddy Ryan) he played under during his NFL career, reveals the nickname Buddy Ryan gave him before he earned the Higgy moniker, continues to dread the 12-minute run, and explains why he was so popular on team flights.

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Morlon Greenwood ultimately moved to Freeport, NY where he excelled at soccer and was a state championship wrestler before being convinced to try out for the Freeport High School football team.

Kendall Newson’s story is a different one than that of previous guests in The Tank. Newson was a seventh round draft choice of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2002 and chased opportunities with the Jaguars, Titans and Rhein Fire before landing with the Dolphins in 2003.

Larry Seiple was a seventh-round draft choice of the Miami Dolphins in 1967 and went on to play 11 seasons with the team as a punter, halfback and tight end. Seiple led the Dolphins with 577 receiving yards and 5 TD receptions in 1969, but he is best remembered for his fake punt in the 1972 AFC Championship game against the Pittsburgh Steelers when his 37-yard scamper set up Miami’s first score and propelled the team to a 21-17 victory and keeping the Perfect Season alive. Following his playing career, Seiple spent 20 years coaching in the NFL, including 12 seasons (1988-1999) with the Dolphins. In The Tank, “Seip” recalls the early years with the Dolphins playing for George Wilson, the dramatic shift that took place when Don Shula took the reigns in Miami, reveals who called the fake punt that has defined his playing career, shares which Dolphins Super Bowl Champion he feels was the better team, and sheds some light on what it was like to coach a young OJ McDuffie.

Once considered an undersized project from Akron University, Jason Taylor went on to become the most storied defender in Miami Dolphins history and as dynamic of a defensive playmaker that the National Football League had ever seen. As a pass rusher, Taylor shattered the Dolphins sack record and finished his career ranked sixth (now seventh) all-time in league annals with 139.5 quarterback takedowns. A six-time Pro Bowl selection and three-time first-team All Pro, Taylor was named the 2006 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and 2007 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year. In 2017, his first year of eligibility, he was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In The Tank, JT discusses overcoming early questions about his size and toughness, questioning his own ability in his first Jimmy Johnson training camp, and the value of having learned under Nick Saban. He also vividly recalls a brawl with former Fins guard, John Bock, an ill-advised motorcycle ride with defensive tackle Daryl Gardener, his unique relationships with Cam Cameron and Bill Parcells, and the time Michael Jordan visited him during a post-practice meeting. OJ and Seth couldn’t let JT go without addressing his reputation at Juice’s weekly basketball games.

Season One comes to a close as OJ and Seth reflect on more classic Fish Tank moments. There is no reason to dig through your archives when the guys have done it for you! Do you remember when Ronnie Brown had to carry Ricky Williams? And we don’t mean during a game! How about Troy Stradford taking on Bruce Smith, or Louis Oliver recalling a special gift Bryan Cox prepared for a deserving Bills fan? Who can forget David Bowens and Daryl Gardener inviting some friends over for a workout or Vonnie Holliday’s retelling of a gamble that did not pay off for Jason Taylor. Listen as Patrick Surtain explains why a lost freestyle rap battle to Morlon Greenwood wasn’t what it seemed, or former PR man Harvey Greene sharing a moment with Coach Shula that he will never forget. Speaking of Coach Shula, Mark Clayton details the sequence of events that ultimately changed his relationship with The Don forever and Joe Rose shares why it’s wise to drive your own vehicle when going out on the town with Clayton and fellow Marx Brother, Mark Duper. And no “Best Of” is complete without Channing Crowder absolutely blowing your mind. With OJ, Seth, and Prec taking a few weeks off before the launch of Season Two, this recap is a must listen for newcomers and Fish Tank faithful alike!

Troy Drayton enjoyed a standout career at Penn State University from 1989-1992, teaming with our very own OJ McDuffie. A second round selection of the Los Angeles Rams in the 1993 NFL draft, Drayton played three seasons and three games for the Rams before Jimmy Johnson traded for the tight end in 1996.

Troy also discusses how Tim Bowens and Dan Marino made him realize the Dolphins were the city for him, his insane prowess in the weight room, the one time he was pushed to the point of going after a coach on the sidelines, his feelings about chicken salad, and his very unique approach to being interviewed in the locker room.

Following a standout career at Auburn University, Ronnie Brown was selected by the Miami Dolphins as the number 2 overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft, making him then-Dolphins Head Coach Nick Saban’s first-ever draft choice. Brown played six seasons in Miami, rushing for 4,815 yards (career-high 1,008 in 2006), averaging 4.3 yards per carry, and 36 touchdowns, including a career-high 10 scores in 2008 on his way to a Pro Bowl selection.

Troy Stradford was a fourth-round draft choice of the Miami Dolphins in 1987. Only 5-9, the running back out of Boston College made up for a lack of size with tremendous speed, vision and confidence. After beating out former first-round draft choice Lorenzo Hampton to become Miami’s starting running back, Stradford’s performance far exceeded his draft position as he racked up more than 1,000 yards from scrimmage and 7 touchdowns on his way to being named the Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year. Diving in the Tank, Troy shares how befriending Mark Clayton nearly caused him to get cut before his final preseason game as a rookie, explains a valuable life lesson taught to him by Hall of Fame Defensive End Bruce Smith, and candidly expresses strong feelings towards former Dolphins first-round pick, Sammie Smith.

When the Miami Dolphins traded into the second round of the 1998 draft to select Patrick Surtain out of Southern Mississippi, they landed a player who, along with Sam Madison, would form the most formidable cornerback duo in team history. Surtain would go on to play seven seasons in Miami, the last three of which concluded with a trip to the Pro Bowl. Pat hauled in 29 of his 37 career interceptions with the Dolphins, taking two back for touchdowns. He was also a physical presence on the outside, and garnered 7.5 sacks during his career. Diving in The Tank for the first time, Pat discusses the quality of players AND characters in the Dolphins DB room, his freestyle rap skills, taking it to Peyton Manning when the two were New Orleans high school star quarterbacks, and sending his son, Patrick Surtain II, to play cornerback at the University of Alabama for Nick Saban, the same man who traded him from the Dolphins to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2005.

Mark Clayton landed in Miami as an unheralded eighth-round draft choice in 1983, a member of the same draft class as Dan Marino. Following a quiet rookie season, Clayton joined Marino in re-writing NFL record books, hauling in 18 of Marino’s 48 touchdown passes to set a new single-season league record. Clayton paired with Mark Duper to form the popular “Marks Brothers” and became the most prolific wide receiver in team history, as well as one of the most dominant in league annals. In The Tank, Clayton discusses that magical 1984 season, his love for playing hard, both on and off the field, why he feels he deserves a bust in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, trash talking with Don Shula, and the circumstances that led him to refer to the legendary Head Coach as “the fat man” following a game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Adewale Ogunleye signed with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted rookie free agent defensive end in 2000 after a severe knee injury derailed a promising college career at Indiana. Once healthy, Ogunleye proved he was an absolute steal, starting opposite Jason Taylor and registering 9.5 sacks in 2002 and an AFC leading 15 sacks in 2003. Following a trip to the Pro Bowl, Ogunleye was traded to the Chicago Bears prior to the 2004 season and helped lead the Bears to an appearance in Super Bowl XLI the following year. In The Tank, “Wale” discusses his grandfather, the King of Emure-Ekiti in Nigeria, how a friendship with Dave Wannstedt’s daughter in college helped him land with the Dolphins, the characters that made up the defensive line meeting room, and why he was a frequent visitor at OJ’s house despite rarely touching the hoop court.

Daryl Gardener was Jimmy Johnson’s first-round draft choice in 1996, Johnson’s first year as the Miami Dolphins head coach. A giant amongst giants, Gardener stood 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighed more than 300 pounds, and quickly joined Tim Bowens in the middle of the Dolphins defensive line creating a two-man wrecking crew. On a hot August day in 2001, however, Gardener’s size and strength weren’t enough to prevent O.J. from taking issue with the defensive tackle’s approach to a two-minute drill. Now in The Tank, Juice recalls the conflict, and a moment that changed his life forever in this special training camp edition of our podcast.
