Our offensive line as i write this is unknown and banged up. Who knows who will actually be lining up.

I suspect Brock will get no more than one second to throw the ball. It's going to be a long afternoon for him and us.

35 carries for Gore, 6 carries for Drake, 2 carries for Ballage?

If Miami is to have a chance, it's on Gase and Burke. Gameplan, play-calling, adjustments. With their typical game-plan, fans may get to see, ummm, who is emergency QB?
 
We have to run the ball and the D has to play lights out.

Is it really banged up? Larsen is the worst OG in the NFL, anything is an upgrade.

Tunsil and James are fine and the Packers don’t really have great pass rushers.
 
Larsen might not quite be Dallas Thomas bad, but he's very, very bad. I think the difference might be that at least Larsen isn't penalized constantly.

People will say these are 'excuses' for whoever the quarterback is, but it's the truth. The guy has been a matador. As the NFL evolves, coaches and personnel guys have realized that interior pressure is a critical part of the game now. The guard position -- all ridicule from people like Dan LeBatard aside -- is actually pretty important.

Sadly, I put this on Gase. Gase had experience with Larsen and must have certainly signed off on bringing him to Miami as a primary backup interior OL / potential starter. He wasn't good last season, but he did have a serious injury that he had to play through. This season he's been even worse with no injury excuse that I know of. The guy is just a bad football player.

Under Philbin and now Gase, it's been almost an outright refusal to play physical football.

Well let's hope our qb doesn't end up on a stretcher today. U would think we get a heavy dose of running and hope the defense hold up
 
Feels like another one of those just get it over with games.

Green Bay’s not very good this year but don’t think it matters.

My head tells me this, but my heart tells me we're going to have some success in the running game, we're going to be able to pressure Rodgers, we're going to stuff their running game, and we're going to make things very interesting.

I agree, this is a great opportunity to innovate like Belichek did last week. If the Packers run dime, Gase has seen it against New England. He should have a counter in place.

My frustration is that I see a lot of diversions with Grant, but they rarely give it to him. Whereas Belichek will show you a wrinkle and go with it.
