Terron Armstead Makes Bold Statement About Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins have endured two frustrating seasons defined by missed opportunities and injury setbacks.

Their 2023 campaign started with promise at 11-4 before falling apart down the stretch.

Last season brought more disappointment when quarterback Tua Tagovailoa missed six games with concussion issues, leading to an 8-9 finish and their first playoff miss under Mike McDaniel.

Despite the recent struggles, one former Miami standout remains confident in the team’s potential.

Recently retired Pro Bowl tackle Terron Armstead appeared on FS1’s SPEAK to share his unwavering belief in the Dolphins, especially Tua.

“If Tua’s under center every game, there’s not a team that the Dolphins can’t beat… he definitely changes the face of the franchise,” Armstead said.

The numbers support Armstead’s confidence in Tagovailoa.

When healthy, the quarterback has delivered elite production, leading the NFL in passing yards during 2023 and posting a league-best 72.9% completion rate in 2024.

Miami’s offense remains among the fastest units in football, built around returning playmakers Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and De’Von Achane.

The Dolphins addressed depth concerns this offseason, strengthening both the tight end position and offensive line.

Defensively, the return of pass rushers Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb provides optimism, while rookie Chop Robinson adds another weapon to the pass rush rotation.

However, questions about team chemistry persist.

Reports surrounding Jalen Ramsey seeking a potential trade and concerns about McDaniel’s leadership have created uncertainty.

The AFC East presents additional challenges, with Buffalo maintaining their dominance and the New York Jets building momentum.

If Tagovailoa remains healthy and the defense finds its rhythm, Miami possesses the talent necessary for a serious playoff run.

The pieces are in place for redemption.
