That has got to be the most maddening thing to read...after 3 years this is the best OL they managed to put together. There are GM's rebuilding entire rosters in 2-3 years and we can't manage to get 5 average starters for the OL.

The most surprising thing in that picture is that Davis is still standing....

Baldinger is a smart guy and honest. He was an o-lineman himself and went to Duke. He has had some complimentary clips of the Dolphins but in this one he is rightfully critical across the board.
The mistakes the O linemen are making reflect total lack of preparedness or proper schooling. As Baldy points out, they aren't able to figure out a simple stunt. Jackson frankly looked like a mess. He gets beat off the snap way too often, like he's not ready or alert, he misses his assignments, not to mention his useless penalties (illegal man down the field, etc).

I noticed this on numerous occasions, and never understood why they were doing that.
We know the line rarely holds up for stretching the field, but it's also very hard to stretch the field when the receivers are all running the same short concept routes.
Couldn’t kick.
Baldy is very fair and very smart. Austin Jackson sucks.
They thought they addressed it w all of the picks they made. Problem is the players all suck.

Is anyone dumb enough to say that? I honestly don’t think I’ve seen anyone say that.
One of those stunts is Kindley. Didn’t realize Jackson got benched at some point.

It really is amazing this team this team has won as much as it has considering how ridiculously bad this line is.
8-9 or 9-8, it doesn't matter. It's still an accomplishment, considering.
This line is THE worst in the league. They do nothing well, except get beat.
If there's anyway to become at least average on the line and to improve against the run defensively and this team can really become a headache for the rest of the league.

Ya that’s the thing with the tua haters. They also don’t understand the game or they spin it their way
Line played well. Ya. Because we kept extra guys in to block against ****kng 4 people!!!!! Then they had 7 in coverage when we had either two or 3 man routes.
I hope the line could block better when we keep more in to help and they only rush 4 and play coverage with 7
How the hell do people not see or understand that.
Now was tua still bad. Yes.
But we shoulda ran ball more and we shoulda took easy passes or check downs against that coverage.
