Greg Little (and Chris Grier) Appreciation Thread

[circumstances]

August 21, 2021.

Panthers have given up on the young Tackle they had drafted at #37, after trading up for him, just two years earlier.

Dolphins make the move and ship out a 7th for him.

September 20th, 2022.

Greg Little stepped into starting Right Tackle for injured Austin Jackson, and is a major positive contributor to our historic comeback victory over Baltimore, and I start this thread.

Panthers trade OT Greg Little to Dolphins for 2022 seventh-round pick

After two seasons in Charlotte, Panthers offensive lineman Greg Little is getting a fresh start down in Miami.

He's an example of why it's worth the risk sometimes with players who get injured.

Hopefully he can stay healthy all year.

Kinda why I would like for us to send a late pick for that tackle in Chicago.

Either way, good job Little. Keep it up.

It's not like Little had a particularly strong game. I hope Shell is up to speed soon.

Who graded that?

If it's PFF I am not interested lol.

If he graded that poorly it didn't really show.

Do we have any word on Jackson and his return? Personally I think he can take second fiddle and let Little have another crack at it.

I'd like to know how many sacks and pressures he gave up.

I'll pay more attention to line play when I re-watch, but he seemed fine out there.

I haven't seen anything.

I really think the Dolphins have a great shot at making a lot of noise in the playoffs this season. That is only if they can get the o-line working properly. Just an average line would be good enough. I hope Grier is looking to see if anyone is available via trade. It's the perfect way to use Teddy if possible.

The blocking was non-existent until the Ravens stopped blitzing. Before that happened, there were 3 or 4 plays, 2 back to back where a rusher went untouched at Tua. Once they were able to protect him, he sliced and diced their defense. I do agree that Little looked better than AJ did in the first game.

Dolphins only gave up 9 pressures and 1 sack on 50 throws.

That's very good.

Thanks. Looks like 1 hurry 1 pressure?

Thought they were the same thing, lol.

Agreed. I was very high on Jenkins coming out of college. He's got a mean streak. Could be another good reclamation project like Little has turned out to be.
