This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
They are definitely offensive. This isn't correctable. The Dolphins will fall flat on their faces during the rest of the year. If you can't run block or protect the quarterback, then there is no hope. We will end up with a high draft pick. Who are the offensive linemen available?
Under the prior regime we drafted offensive linemen forever and that wasn't that long ago. And this regime did the same picking Martin and Pouncey. So, I don't know what to say.
We are probably going to have to look into free agency as well as the draft. Right now we have problems at 4 of 5 positions. If Martin can handle the right side that leaves 3/5 positions.
Maybe the o-line coaching is bad. As well as other coaching too. If players don't improve, then the coaching should be held accountable to some extent as well.
how many freaking high draft picks have we spent on this OL and it is still the worst in the league?
Pouncy---15th overall, only good player
Jerry--3d round bust, took over Jimmy Graham
Martin---2d round scrub
Dallas Thomas---the Egnew of the OL, 3d rounder I said WTF when we picked him
Jake Long #1 overall and now sucking for rams
let's not forget other scrubs like Sean Murphy and $$ wasted on Clabo, Columbo etc
how hard is it to pick some freaking OL? isn't it supposed to be easiest position to fill?

i agree with the play calling. we don't move wrs around. we run long developing routes when we know the oline can't block.
and most importantly we do not establish any semblance of a running game. the first half of the saints game we were committed to the run and that is when tannehill had his best protection. if you abandon the run the d will rush at will.
tanne also has to learn how to take off and run. 3 one thousand...if the route isn't their he needs to run for his life or maybe throw the ball away.

I am not sure I want to see Garner. Maybe Garner at G and slip Jerry to RT. Replace Jerry w/ a guy whose ex team questions his toughness is dumb ass. The people who are complaining about Jerry are idiots. This guy might be our best olineman after Poncey. That's not saying much but..

tank the season when we have a winning record, one game out of first place in our division?
Well I think we have a good football team, but I think
Philbin needs to go into this buy week and make some hard decisions.
1. First Fire The Offensive line coach
2. Next find A better line coach
3. Repeat if necessary

If you're mad at your kid, you can either raise him to be a nose tackle or send him out to play on the freeway. It's about the same.

Well, everyone agrees our OLine has some serious problems. Everyone agrees that during this bye, Ireland and Philbin have to do something about it.
If improvement cannot be made, the coaching staff should make one very important adjustment (IMO): restructure the playbook to where RT gets the ball out sooner. Bing, bang, boom...ball is gone.
(1) That will help alleviate the sacks (2) OL won't have to hold their blocks (when they block) as long (3) quick passes "should" get the defenders closer to the line to allow Wallace, et al, to get down the field without so much traffic.
