Just to let you guys know a few things. First off Ethan Skolnick (formerly of the Miami Herald, Sun Sentinel, Bleacher Report, etc) along with Walter Villa (formerly of the Miami Herald) have been given charge of Dolphins Maven (https://footballmaven.io/dolphins). Dolphins Maven is going to run similarly to what you're seeing now from the Miami Herald, Sun Sentinel, The Athletic, Palm Beach Post, etc. Ethan recruited Harvey Fialkov and Craig Davis (both formerly of the Sun Sentinel), Andy Kent (formerly a writer for MiamiDolphins.com), and Antwan Staley (USA Today) to cover the Miami Dolphins beat. We are talking the whole nine yards: media credentials, practice attendance, game previews, game reviews, videos; every bit of the coverage you've come to expect from a local news organization covering the Miami Dolphins beat. But in addition, since Ethan and I already work together, as 3YPCarry is on the 5 Reasons Sports Podcast Network, he has asked Simon Clancy, Alf Arteaga, and myself to contribute on Dolphins Maven. He has also asked The Fish Tank (O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levitt) to participate, as well as Josh Houtz ( Twitter: @houtz) to participate. The goal is to complement the classic Miami Dolphins beat writing that you would get from any local news organization following the Dolphins, with the sort of fresh analysis, commentary, and story telling you'd expect from our podcasts or radio shows as well as our social media activities. So before long, you will see a 3 YPC Corner on Dolphins Maven. We will be putting up videos, commentary, play analysis, analytics, and podcast episode recaps. Specifically the podcast episode recaps are going to be interesting, in my opinion, because our idea is to transcribe the material we go over on the show in a way that better fits a different medium (print, as opposed to radio). On the podcast, we can't SHOW YOU the plays we're talking about, or the analytics to which we're referring. On a recap, we absolutely can. And we can also make it entertaining and easy to digest. The following are our first two EPISODE RECAPS from Episode 1.21, which we taped after the Buccaneers preseason game and before the Panthers preseason game: Part I (Offense) https://footballmaven.io/dolphins/news/3-yards-per-carry-https-threeyardspercarry-podbean-com-week-in-review-ZIj8axg6XUOdSb5NWgoyww/ Part II (Defense & Dolphins-Panthers Preview). https://footballmaven.io/dolphins/news/3-yards-per-carry-https-threeyardspercarry-podbean-com-week-in-review-5Mo25m5LaEinqIza2QQOfQ/ We will be taping our latest episode of 3 Yards Per Carry tonight, releasing tomorrow, and then we will put out the episode recap series in the days following. What do I think is the best part about the Dolphins Maven? You don't have to deal with the MASSIVE ego of some lead personality telling everyone how stupid they are and acting like they need to be paid to reply to you. So you get the BEAT WRITING (Harvey Fialkov, Antwan Staley, Craig Davis, Andy Kent, Josh Houtz), you get 3 YARDS PER CARRY (Simon Clancy, Chris Kouffman, and Alf Arteaga), you get THE FISH TANK (O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levitt). But you don't get the INSUFFERABLE ATTITUDE of some toxic internet/radio personas. I truly do look at that as the advantage over all of the other competing organizations. Enjoy!
