Dolphins are signing veteran OL D.J. Fluker

Pff system grades OL on attributes such as pass pressure allowed, run blocking, penalties, sacks allowed, and any stat that defines the performance of any lineman given to the snaps taken. Are you trying to tell me that any As Bs or Cs were irrelevant when it came time to grading your work? Did you leave everything blank and got a good grade?

Sorry, I assumed everyone knew by now that PFF gradings were trash. Enjoy your day.

Just like everything related to sports, PFF's are someone's opinion in a graphical format. And so far your opinion doesn't seem any better.

Well considering Miami probably will not be drafting a tackle (At least in the early rounds), it's not a bad idea picking up a former 1st round pick that can play outside as well as inside the O-line.

Though he will need to prove himself to remain on the team, he is another player that should be solid at the very least.
 


Interesting how disappointed a lot of seahawks fans were that he went. Ravens fans seemed to be 50:50 on him going, but no great evidence he played badly. Much better run blocker than pass protector. Better RG than RT. Comp for Kindley or Hunt.

Seemingly a great locker room guy.
 
Will Grier & Co now jump at Sewell if available at #6? Seems more likely that they are happy with any of the receivers (Pitts/Chase/Smith/Waddle). But tempting if Sewell is there for the taking and Pitts and Chase are not.
 
We are not drafting Sewell. We have good young players that for the most part held their own last year. We already picked up a lineman earlier and Now fluker... kiss Sewell goodbye. We don't move behind Cindy and atl if we wanted him... I for one am happy about this. I'm all in for Pitts.

As much as I would love to see us go zone scheme, I don’t think our line really suggests that. Not many fleet of foot among our current offensive line

Well then we agree on what our OL is and isn't...but we disagree on what a Zone scheme needs to run effectively.

I don't really see zone scheme either. Usually you go lighter, quicker and more agile. Our line looks nothing like when we ran zone.
I'm hoping we are moving to more RPO.

An RPO can run any OL blocking scheme. It can run inside or outside zone, it can pull OL and run sweeps, it can trap, etc. There's no limit to what an RPO can run. It's all just about the scheme of who is running it and what they want their run options to be...

Typically Zone schemes take on larger, stronger, and sometimes dumber OL and have great success - as long as the OL can get out of their stance. The Zone can definitely use a quicker OL, but the whole reason Zone became a thing originally was for larger OL as it suits their skillset.

The places I've coached and played that used offenses like the West Coast, Wing T, variations of the I offense, Power Wing, and Fly offense have typically had quicker OL and they often had someone pulling or trapping on the OL every play (Trap/Sweep/Boot/Reverse/Belly/Power/etc.

Blocking schemes that pull, trap, and have lots of OL movement typically want mobile OL in it.

IMO our OL is situated more for Zone than anything else. We don't see much pulling or trapping in our scheme.
