Pressure is on Danny Crossman – The Splash Zone 10/8/24

Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.

The Miami Dolphins managed to win a game after a three game losing streak but there was still a ton of issues with the team. One area that continues to haunt the Dolphins is special teams. On Sunday against the New England Patriots, kicker Jason Sanders missed a field goal and long snapper, Blake Ferguson, had the worst snap of his career as he rolled the ball back. Those are player errors, but there have been too many other errors on this unit since Danny Crossman took over as special teams coordinator. This unit has been bottom of the barrel since 2019 and somehow Crossman has been able to stick around.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
