How did the O'line look tonight

I wanted to pull my pants down and take a crap on their shoes. Thank you for downgrading our OL Fat Tony.

I honestly do not think we will have to worry about him next year. For this reason and also for the reason that he is continuing his allowance of horrible 4th quarter, with the lead, playcalling. We will not win games in the regular season when we go conservative with the lead.
 
This is one of my biggest worries about starting the season. We have to have good O line play.
 
Man did I hate the Pouncey pick when we made it. I was hoping that the gurus were right and he is a player, but man did he get abused tonight.
 
When the epitaph is written on Tony's Dolphins head coaching tenure it won't be about Henne, or the lack of a seam busting TE, or the fist pumps. It will be about the fact that this o-line "guru" couldn't find an offensive line.

In all fairness, the entire OL got abused tonight. Reminded me of the 2004 line with Damien McIntosh, Seth Mckinney, Jeno James, John Sinclair, Talylor Whitney, and dare I say at times, Wade Smith!

Yep, and to his credit, Smiley and Grove not being able to overcome the injury bug did him no favors and he has been scrambling ever since. But you can't figure out your RG for 4 years, that isn't good for a supposed "oline guru". First round picks galore on this line, and we still struggle. I dunno, it is frustrating to watch.
 
It looked very poor, just like least year they could not get any push and therefore we could not run the ball. Dramatic improvement is required otherwise it will be a long year.
 
How was the line? Absolutely and entirely terrible. Wade Smith and Taylor Whitley type bad. Most of our run plays involved the defense hitting the runner 3 yards behind the line, and while there were a number of pass plays where the QB's had time, there were a lot of others where way too many defenders were back there.
 
Just like last year ... and the year before ... and the year before that .... sigh!!!

The 2008 OL was great. Even the 2009 OL was very good until all the injuries hit. The problem is that every year Saporno has been here, the OL has regressed and regressed significantly
 
Jake Long didn't play. Colombo has only been in camp one week. Pouncey played his first NFL game. What did you guys expect? Besides, Atlanta was run blitzing their LB's the entire time our first team offense was in there. Am I the only one that noticed that?
 
A motivated (by Belicheat) Haynesworth will be licking his chops opening night. I'm still not sold on taking Pouncey #1....did he really smash in college or was Sparano just enamored with his twin brother so much so that he rolled the dice.

Our cornfed lineman looked like kids getting beat like red headed step children

Omar kelly is going to have a field day with his keen eye for line play tomorrow..

Next year they will have to bring in a bunch of new people on offensive line
 
****ing awful. Especially the run blocking. Just a ****ing disgrace. Sign O'Hara, put Pouncey at Guard, and put Carey back at RT in place of whatever totally ****ty scrub is currently starting there.
