Everyone has opinions on what is wrong with the Miami Dolphins. Everyone has a solution as well. It’s no wonder that so many people are biting back and forth to try and get their opinion heard, stressed, and/or accepted. I got this blog so for me, my opinion can be left out here to fly in the wind…you however, get to chastise me in the comments, thereby getting your opinion out there to fly in the wind.Today’s opinion? Nate Garner.Why is it that the Dolphins, specifically head coach Tony Sparano, are using Nate Garner as a TE? The answer is simple, RT Marc Columbo is horrible. At years end 2010, Tony Sparano stated that he needed to stop rotating his offensive line so much throughout the pre-season. He needed to give the line time to gel together and become a cohesive unit. Unfortunately, that hasn’t worked this year. Go back to tinkering with the line Tony.Moving Garner to what amounts to a second tackle on the right side does more than help Columbo block. It completely takes away from your offensive packages. This is not a two tight end set. Garner does not catch passes or run routes. With only 11 players allowed on the field, the Dolphins now are minus one when Garner enters the game for this formation. That means that Reggie Bush, Charles Clay, or Daniel Thomas is not in the game. It means that defenses have a better idea that the Dolphins are going to pass.So far this year, the Dolphins have passed more out of that formation than have ran it. When they have run the ball, Thomas has delivered up the middle more than to the outside. Compounding the issue further is the fact that Garner really hasn’t been able to slow down the rush on that side of the ball. Henne is still under extreme pressure most of the game.http://phinphanatic.com/2011/09/28/dolphins-need-to-stop-using-garner-as-te/
