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.

NFL: Las Vegas Raiders at Miami Dolphins Jim Rassol-USA TODAY Sports

Hopes are high among many Miami Dolphin fans as we are just a few days away from their week 1 game against the New England Patriots. The team was able to keep their defensive system in place while they overhauled the offense with some exciting additions. This might be the best Dolphins roster we have seen in a long time. In one offseason, the Dolphins wide receiver room became one of the best position groups on the team, compared to last season where Jaylen Waddle was the only real threat. The team may have also added Terron Armstead and Connor Williams along the line, but it is up to the young guys to step up and finally get this o-line fixed.

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