Wade Smith= He cannot play...PERIOD...the guy is worthless as a LT.....I am hard pressed to find ANY LT that allows 8 hits on his quarterback in one game...His future....if he has any is as a swing player to back up on the line....If that...IMO, his Dolphin career is close to over...If you don't believe me...wait till mcIntosh comes back and see who starts at LT.

Jeno James = I have to say that I am dissapointed......He plays very well in spurts...but 3 holding penalties in two games is unacceptable.....I am sure that he WILL turn it around and be a good performer for us.

Seth mcKinney = Okay....He can't play either....he screwed up the line calls twice in the Bengals game and was totally manhandled against the Titans...Tim Ruddy is better.....that is the sad fact...Seth just is not a quality center.

Taylor Whitley = Believe it or not...he is our best lineman.....(right now that is)...He hits his blocks HARD....but is a a little slow of foot...do he doesn't get the next level.....I am encouraged somewhat by Whitley......He is clearly better than Todd Perry.

John St. Clair = What a pathetic run blocker........he gets out physicalled at the point of attack too often also....he becomes a turn stile on occasions and has serious trouble recognizing stunts that loop him.....My suspicions of him when we signed him are now confirmed.....He is a backup at best.....He hurts more than he helps.....An average swing tackle.....
 
I agree section 126. I can understand 2-3 boneheaded blocking mistakes on passing and 2-3 on running in the game. BUT, when EVERY SINGLE RUN is a broken play except for maybe two, and half to three quarters of passes there are at least 1-2 missed assignments, it is absolutely ridiculous! to think that Gordon and McMichael are the ones who are doing the best picking up pass rushers is mind boggling how we even scored points. I guess thats why I am very optomistic about AJ.

When will we play Carey? When will hadnot beat out McKinney? Oh yeah when we get a real coach
 
James is the ONLY guy worth keeping.

The rest blow. Get Carey in at RT let him take his lumps hope he is ok by next season. When McIntosh is better play him. Doesn't matter though.......Gordon isn't a very good RB and Feeley is, well a 3rd string QB!

If McKinney continues to stink, I wouldn't mind seeing Hadnot play out the season at center at some point. See if he is a keeper. Seth clearly isn't.
 
To add to the LINE playing horribly they are still getting crucial penaltys they really need to clean them up.

How can you say that about Gordon or Feeley? they got killed because of our oline.
 
How much responsibility should the line coach take for the consistent poor play of the OL, year after year after year? Seemed to me Paul Boudreax was doing a better job before Wrongstate :fire: sacked him to bring in his Chicago mate, Tony Wise. He did the same to Mike Westhoff who was an admirable special teams coach
