Dolphins' OL in good mood despite health concerns with Albert, Pouncey and Tunsil

[DKphin]

The two Pro Bowl performers on the Miami Dolphins' offensive line – left tackle Branden Albert (wrist) and center Mike Pouncey (hip) – didn't practice Wednesday and their status for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers is questionable.

Things are only slightly more certain for rookie guard/tackle Laremy Tunsil (shoulder), who practiced on a limited basis. Coach Adam Gase wasn't specific about any of the three after practice.
"We'll see," Gase said about their status. "I don't know. I really don't know. Until I know something about Tunsil. ... I don't know what's going on with 'B.A.' (Albert). I still really don't have all of the information on Pouncey yet."
Still, the offensive linemen are optimistic they can get the job done regardless of which five are on the field.
"I feel like there's definitely a confidence level that's different," right tackle Ja'Wuan James said. "That 'next-man' mentality coach Gase keeps talking about is definitely in full effect."

I still think we might be missing all 3 of them this week and at least 1 or 2 the following week

Ozzy rules!!

I disagree. I think he'll put a buck50 Sunday regardless vs the 9ers.

He put up 80 on the Rams great defense. I think that's damn good considering his line

If Ajayi gets 20 carries he'll get over 100 yards

Ozzy rules!!

A kitten dies every time Mike Pouncey is referred to as a Pro-Bowl player.

He has the talent to be. Probably the most talented center in the league

Wrong brother. :D

Pouncey has the potential to be the best center in the league if he can keep his health in check.

This means nothing if he's only playing 5 or 6 games per season. Both Pouncey and Albert need to be replaced... they're part-time players getting paid a full-time salary.

It means something! I share your availability concern, but please do not overstate the case!
