Can KOC Fix It? Vikings CANNOT Overlook Dolphins: Week 4 Preview

Vikings vs. Dolphins Preview: Miami’s Evaluation Year, Malik Willis Outlook, and Brian Flores Blitz Challenge — Host Tyler Forness welcomes Dolphins analyst Kevin Fielder to preview Vikings–Dolphins, noting Kevin O’Connell’s record as a big favorite. Fielder describes Miami’s season as an evaluation year with a very young roster, heavy dead cap, and a goal to compete while positioning for a high draft pick and future cap space. They discuss Miami’s commitment to evaluating QB Malik Willis—viewed by some as a possible long-term option and by others as a bridge—plus potential 2026 draft directions. The conversation covers OC Bobby Slowik’s early uneven start but improved play design, especially after De’Von Achane’s ACL injury, and how Miami may shift its run game. They analyze how Miami’s offense might handle Brian Flores’ pressure looks, Miami’s base-heavy defense driven by a thin, inexperienced secondary, and concerns about pass rushers like Chop Robinson. They also assess Vikings offensive questions, Kyler Murray’s early fit and chemistry issues, and expectations for a competitive game despite Minnesota being favored.
