**** I hope Armstead isn't out a prolonged period. This likely means either Jackson or Armstead or both are.

FOWLER: Dolphins sign veteran offensive tackle Brandon Shell

Shell will start on the team’s practice squad to get acclimated to the system but may be needed sooner rather than later

After all the care we took to NOIT use Armstead all summer and in Pre season it's not a good sign at all that he's already banged up less than a full game into the season.

That is one reason Im not a fan of coddling players during preseason.

Yes, there is a risk they get injured, but Id rather have it happen before the season starts, rather than as soon as the season starts.

Players need reps for conditioning as well as shaking the rust off.

We have a Front Office that continues doing its "due diligence" and posters go into a downward spiral as if they haven't seen a competent Front Office" before. - LOL

What did you think it was going to look like.

Maybe it was a good idea that we have some flexibility in our OL depth to help us deal with injuries. Getting a reasonable vet to sign on within less than a week of getting some apparent "short term" injuries was a reasonable expectation to have of a Front Office.

When you say you are not ready to panic yet, it tells me you are three steps into that kind of hysteria.
Get someone to throw a glass of ice-cold water in your face so you have enough time to recover and enjoy the upcoming game with the Ravens.

A game I anticipate we will win - LOL

I think we’ll win on Sunday too. And I’m not panicking, actually. Just making a little joke. I’d hate to see Armstead miss time, but I think we can make due without Jackson. I trust the coaching staff (and front office) to figure it out.
 
And so it begins. If Armstead is out that would really suck. If so, this O-line could conceivably be worse than last year. What bothers me is that McD and Grier had no back up plan when the writing was on the wall with Armstead based on his history. It's quite inconceivable that they would leave the team so ill-prepared for the eventual and inevitable loss of Armstead... Now we have to light candles and pray to the football god's that this guy can get on the field and play up to par on Sunday. Frustrating for sure...
