The word soft has come up in conjunction with the Dolphins on multiple occasions in recent months. Linebacker Jordyn Brooks said the team played that way in a loss to the Packers on Thanksgiving night and former Dolphins safety DeShon Elliott used the same description of the team's play in a 2023 game.

Miami Dolphins veteran left tackle Terron Armstead said the quiet part among players out loud and something that is probably music to fans’ ears. He justly summed up the state of the Dolphins, as they go from a disappointing 2024 season that finished 8-9 and out of the playoffs to a team trying to get back into contention while making an appearance with NBC’s Pro Football Talk on Thursday.
