Obviously related to the injuries to Armstead and Jackson.

This is a good signing. He’s a good, experienced pass blocker with the feet to play LT. He’s not going to be a star, but much like Shell at RT, we can plug him into a tackle spot to stave off catastrophe, if it comes to that.

Appreciate the update. Thanks.

Sounds like Armstead will miss at least 2 to 4 games which couldn’t have come at a worst time......Ajax is most likely out this coming week as well......this is not good at all.

Yep. Terrible timing in light of the pass rushers we’re about to face. Going to have to get creative with max protect and/or misdirection to buy Tua some time to pass.

Would be nice if at least Jackson can play so we can get a read on him for the future.

Scouting Report

Lamm has 28 career starts in his seven-year career. Almost half (13) came in the 2018 season for the Texans, where he was the primary starting right tackle from Week 4 onward, including a wild card playoff loss to the Colts.

Most right tackles tend to be more power-oriented players (think Penei Sewell) but Lamm has proven to be something of a pass-blocking specialist. That was especially true in his season as a starter in Houston. He’s just not a player who generates much movement in the run game and isn’t an aggressive slobber-knocker type of tackle. He was a poor schematic fit in Tennessee in 2021 for the style of run game the Titans like to roll with Derrick Henry.

Lamm is at his best in pass protection with the pass rusher aligned off the line (3-4 OLB). He’s got a decent first step and quick enough feet to slide and reset well against wide speed. Lamm can jab quickly with his punch and does a good job riding outside rushes around the top of the pocket, a trait that worked well with mobile Deshaun Watson at QB in Houston and also with Baker Mayfield in Cleveland.

Power rushers who can quickly get into his chest are a problem for Lamm, and that’s something unlikely to change now that he’s 30 and bounced around three teams. He does have some athleticism, something he showed in catching a touchdown pass in Cleveland in 2020:
 
The reality is the OL probably is going to be very similar to the OL we saw in the 2021 season. We have been saying all along that the player they could least afford to lose for multiple games was Armstead. Jackson was also playing very well yesterday and now the Dolphins will be playing with 2 backup tackles for the foreseeable future.

Going into probably the toughest part of their schedule over the next three weeks just got a lot tougher with Armstead and Jackson out of the lineup. Hopefully they can win at least 1 out of their next three games and go no worse than 2-1 over their last 3 games.

Three wins out of the last 6 games would give them 11 wins and hopefully that would be enough to get them into the playoffs.

Jackson played 14 snaps on the opening week game and he was ok yesterday but his "loss" is nothing compared to Armstead....Shell has played well at RT......the problems now is he's not a good LT and neither is Little.....as far as Jackson, we still don’t know what we got with him.....Tua saved Jackson from giving up a sack yesterday but he played ok for his first game back.
