Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel has come under fire after the team's 0-2 start to the 2025 season. The Dolphins have not looked sharp on offense or defense in going winless.

With McDaniel coming under scrutiny, Dolphins linebacker Chop Robinson said that the responsibility of turning Miami's season around is on the players.

"It may look bad for him, but it's really on us," Robinson said on Monday.

The Dolphins suffered a 33-8 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1. Although Miami's offense improved in Week 2 against the New England Patriots, McDaniel's team lost 33-27 on Sunday.

Robinson has three tackles and 1.0 sacks this season. He is in his second year with the Dolphins, who took the linebacker with the No. 21 pick in the 2024 draft.

Although the Dolphins have looked below par, Robinson wants his teammates to shoulder more responsibility for the rest of the season.

After the Dolphins' Week 2 loss to the Patriots, Mike McDaniel said he is not too worried about his job security, but is instead looking to improve the team.

"I think if I worry about my job security, I won't be doing my job, and I think that inherently is against all things that I believe in," McDaniel said. "I've never felt entitled to this position, and it's very important for me to spend all my waking hours worrying about exactly how to do my job.

"I won't spend one moment thinking about all the things that, whatever people want me to think about. (I'm) thinking about this team and the Buffalo Bills here, after I get done with this podium."

The Dolphins will square off against the Buffalo Bills (2-0) in Week 3 on Thursday night. The Bills will be the favorites to beat Miami. However, the Dolphins will need to get a win on the board to ease the pressure on McDaniel.
