The Miami Dolphins are determined to change the narrative following their disappointing 2024 season that ended with an 8-9 record. Issues related to locker room culture, particularly chronic tardiness among players, have prompted head coach Mike McDaniel to emphasize accountability. Defensive tackle Zach Sieler and center Aaron Brewer are spearheading efforts to instill a stronger work ethic and commitment to punctuality as the team enters the offseason workouts.

Veteran leadership is crucial, especially with the recent departures of Terron Armstead and Calais Campbell, which the Dolphins will need to navigate. Rookies have been drafted, including offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea, and the team's focus is on setting a tone that fosters improvement. The presence of key players like quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and star wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle during off-season activities signals a collective effort toward a more disciplined and competitive environment.
