On this bonus episode of The Flame: Entertainment & Sports, host Rob Cao breaks down the Miami Dolphins’ 24–17 preseason victory over the Detroit Lions.
Rob starts with the defense, praising the relentless front seven for another dominant showing. He highlights the continued emergence of pass rushers Derrick McClendon and Greyson Murphy, along with impressive performances from rookie defensive tackles Kenneth Grant, Jordan Phillips, and Zeek Biggers. Rob also shares his excitement about pairing these young standouts with All-Pro DT Zach Sieler and veteran rushers like Chop Robinson, Jaelan Phillips, and Bradley Chubb. Linebacker Dequan Jackson’s strong push for a roster spot and rookie corner Ethan Robinson’s game-clinching interception also earn well-deserved recognition.
On offense, Rob spotlights rookie running back Ollie Gordon, who followed up his standout Week 1 performance with another strong showing, averaging five yards per carry. He also breaks down the excellent outing from rookie QB Quinn Ewers, who impressed with accuracy, awareness, and poise. Right tackle Jalen McKenzie’s case for a roster spot gets attention as well, especially with starter Austin Jackson sidelined.
Rob wraps up with a look ahead to the Dolphins’ preseason finale against Jacksonville, where bubble players will get their final chance to make the roster.
