Bobby the Barista
The longest-tenured member of the Dolphins defense is captain Bobby McCain. In his sixth NFL season – all with Miami – the free safety enjoyed perhaps his best year yet. He was an integral piece to a Dolphins defense that finished best in the NFL in third-down conversion rate (32.5 percent) and takeaways (29). His leadership and communication on the back end allowed Miami to utilize a multiple defense and confuse opposing offenses by mixing things up.
McCain's comfortability with the defensive system is akin to his familiarity with life in South Florida. In honor of the 305 Celebration (details below), we revisit McCain's attempt to moonlight as a mixologist in the summer of 2019.
Happy 305 Celebration
March 5 is a special day in South Florida, particularly in Miami-Dade County (area code 305). It's not too late to join in the celebration by reserving your spot in the festivities. Once you've accessed your 305 pass, you can join in on the fun, which includes great food, giveaways and a whole lot more.

Fish Tank Animation
For some of the best Miami Dolphins stories, check out another podcast in the network, the Fish Tank. Yesterday, we published the latest animated short featuring Hall of Fame defensive end Jason Taylor.
