just how solid the Offensive Line was today.

Over the last couple of months, we've seen thousands of posts about how the O-Line wasn't good enough; how the front office didn't sign enough, or draft enough new players.

Hey... just a thought, maybe they knew what they were doing. Maybe they understood that Jackson, Eichenberg, and LITTLE were developing players, and to give up on them too early would have been foolish. Maybe they understood that Williams could become a top NFL Center with a little time and patience?

Maybe...

The played good in the 2nd half and allowed Tua time to throw the ball.

Also you were right about Little. We’re not going to be able to afford to keep him if he keeps this up.

Little is a guy that we will only be able to keep... IF he wins the job over Jackson, and even then... we probably won't have the cap space to sign him.

That's not such a bad thing... If Little, Gesicki, and Needham are all signed elsewhere to be starters, and Van Ginkle is signed to a rotational salary elsewhere... we'll clean up on supplemental picks. We could be looking at 3-4 extra draft picks, and that's a lot of firepower to give Grier, who has been drafting VERY well the last few years. (In addition, I think we MIGHT look to move Baker in the offseason for a mid-round pick).

But draft picks aside... I'm EXTREMELY happy with what I am seeing from this line so far.

You obviously didn’t read through the threads, which is understandable . Because it was pointed out by several posters that the OL play was much improved this week. Especially in the second half when the Ravens knew the Dolphins had to pass on just about every play and the defense kept giving Tua time in the pocket to find his receivers.

The OL also was much better this week in the running game. It’s beginning to look like better coaching and the addition of Williams and Armstead are certainly helping this line develop into a better and more cohesive unit..

There were no threads specifically for the OL, but it was talked about in a few of them quite a bit.

The D had me so flustered in the first half I couldn’t focus on much else. Honestly I was in shock in the 4th quarter so I didn’t notice much of anything.
 
They played great in the second half. 1st half they had a stretch where they were at Tua 3 plays in a row as soon as he received the snap.
