32. Miami Dolphins
The Dolphins offensive line was plain awful last season, so the team added former Lions RT Stocker McDougle to start and LG Damion Cook and rookie RT Anthony Alabi. Still, this unit has a lot to prove in both the run and pass aspects of the offense and will further diminish the limited value of QBs A.J. Feeley and Gus Frerotte. Rookie RB Ronnie Brown would be more attractive with a better line, but he remains worth a third- or fourth-round choice.
 
Man, I really get the feeling this time next offseason, we're going to be looking at this "Our biggest addition was OL coach Houck" line and saying, what were we thinking? The players still play the game, and we didn't do jack to change the line. If anything, the biggest boost we're going to get is from sheer continuity.

The guy has done amazing things with no name players on his o-line, who says he can't do it again? I don't expect this o-line to be the best o-line in the league this upcoming season, but they sure won't be the worst either.
 
i believe our line will b alot better this year. i think we will b probably in thhe top 15th offensively, and defense in the top 5. rookies and veterans have a grat attitude this year and u will see the fire in there eyes. i'm very excited about this year. if our line just improves 50% this you will see the difference,plus i believe we finally have a offensive staff that will utilize the players we have and use there abilities accordingly.u must stop thinking past tense!!!
 
based on last season its hard to argue the 32nd spot. until we prove otherwise thats where we will be.

SHOUTOUT TO THE OLINE IF YOUR READING. 32=LAST! DO SOMETHING!

I think their might be a little to much optomism but that being said there are three new starters Mcdougle,Carey,Hadnot and I like the look of all three of them 6'3-6'5 330/340 ish.

I agree, too. If I were writing an article on ths subject, I'd mention Houck and how it's possible that they could make me look bad in hindsight for rating them last, but I would still have to rate this unit last in the NFL.
 
It's funny how these reporters know their stuff. I was watching NFL Live the other day, and they were talking about the Green Bay Packers, and how they lost Two of their BIG time O-lineman. They went on to say the Pack O-line is in good shape because of their coach, and how he can plug players in, and they do the job for him, and that Green will have success on the ground, Brett will have time in the pocket. Yet, we have arguably the best coach in the league at doing what he does, and they don't even mention anything about the coach.
