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.Sit the starters? No way, that is not how Adam Gase is going to coach this team. With a playoff spot already secured, the Dolphins will have their starters out there on Sunday and if you are healthy, you will be playing according to the rookie head coach. Would I like to see the starters sit? Yes. But Gase has been echoing all season about going 1-0 every week. If the Dolphins win, that would not only hurt the Patriots chances of home field advantage, but it will also carry huge momentum heading in the postseason.
You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day's round-up below.
