Dolphins O- Work In Progress?

[So Be]

I was hoping for more progress on the OL but, other than Albert, it is not there. Forget the age of FA, the age of OL signings is much more important.

OL- We got Albert and Pouncey, and the market has substantially dried up. Hickey needs to pull a rabbit out of his hat here. Not impressed so far.

TE- We're good with Clay and Sims will be much improved. Nothing much in FA, maybe an Ebron in the draft.

WR- In good shape here but, a big end zone threat would be welcome. A 3rd round pick may work.

RB- Miller and DT were disappointing, largely due to having nowhere to run. A good vet would surely help.

QB- We live and die with Tannehill, and Moore is well worth keeping.

Overall, Albert was an upgrade but, does not matter if 3 other guys on the OL cannot block.

I know it's early but, what does that matter if the best options are gone early? Not impressed.

I agree, I like all of the moves thus far but more has to be done prior to the draft. I have the feeling Hickey isn't sitting on his thumbs so I am optimistic.

I think Sam Brenner or Dallas Thomas will do fine at RG. Early to say you aren't impressed. It's what day 4? Relax, what if we get smith at LG and Eric Winston at RT. Set, draft Zac Martin and we are great

I honestly think you could roll Larry, Curly and Moe out there for the reamaing offensive line positions and they would be better than last year. We have a freaking Dolphin with a Lazor now, and we have a real NFL offensive line coach. Lazor and Benton alone are going to improve the offensive line two fold.

Like I said on the defense it's incomplete and there will be more pieces added over the next few weeks.

What do you base Brenner and Thomas doing fine? Smith is a toss up on signing as a so-so choice, and Eric Winston would be a dumpster diving signing.

Martin is not going to play 3 positions, and doubt he will be the BPA.

You don't think Brenner showed good potential last year when he started? I think he's a great scheme fit. And can only improve

Cog was a Pro Bowler? who played well. Jerry was VG in pass pro but, sucked on the run, and Clabo payed very well in the last 9 games. Who do you see as the three stooges being better?

Devil's advocate.

How about Donald Penn at RT? There's the hickey connection. Or streif. I think there's still good options on the market

He did but, isl likely a year away from starting, maybe.

Week 16 during the bills game that line was a disaster I've never seen a line dominated so much. Point is maybe they improved but they still sucked. Have faith in Benton he's the best in the biz

Lazor and Benton...Cogs was not a pro-bowler last year and even when he played didn't play anything like it. Jerry was only good in pass blocking because he was too fat to move so he couldn't help anyone out. He was just a wall for people to go around and at 340+lbs, it was a prtetty damned big wall.

Clabo I agree played very well the second half of the season and I have said I would have no probelm bringing him back.

I understand your worries, I am an optimist. So i think or choose to think hickey has something in mind hopefully while working with Benton who will coach the guys

Day 3 SB...Day 3. You can't expect them to sign everyone because outside of Beadles and Asamoah you can argue for a handful of guards being the next best option. Beadles got overpaid, Asamoah got signed on his first visit. 31 other teams...I'll fry them when they deserve it, not day 3 of FA because they didn't get one of my top 2 guards.

IMO, the day does not matter, only the available talent, and there is not much left on the OL. Completely agree on other positions but, not the OL.
