Could The Dolphins OL Be Worse This Year?

YES!! Right now we have 2 legit o-line players and nothing else. The guys left in free agency either stink or don't fit zone blocking scheme. And Shelley Smith is unproven. Hickey didn't do enough to address the o-line in the past week. While the offseason isn't over its slim pickings on the free agent market and unless he drafts 2 or 3 studs (unlikely) the o-line could be worse. Maybe they got some grand plan to trade for guys or something, but if its gonna be Pouncey/Albert and a combo of Garner, Shelly Smith, Sam Brenner and rookies....it's gonna be another train-wreck in 2014

Ah, a voice of reason with something to say. I don't want to agree but, have to.

I wont say yes or no, but i will point of that we did sign a hell of an offensive line coach.
 
YES.

We have 2 legit starters (Albert/Pouncey) and 2 legit backups (Smith/Garner). Then we have a couple of projects (Thomas/Brenner).

FA is drying up as whats left is older average linemen who have more crap seasons like Clabo had last year left than good seasons and the draft is a rookie filled gamble where your lucky to find one guy that can make a difference year one on the OLine and your telling me we will find THREE?

But yeah it's still early and all that...I am sure Ireland thought the same thing last year when he was at this point...then 58 sacks happened.
 
I can see we have a lot of sheep here. I was hoping for more posts from Shepard's. JK/LOL
