Offensive lineman Brandon Frye finds himself poised to play a key role in the Dolphins’ defense of their AFC East title.

Because of a injury to Donald Thomas, Frye lined up at starting right guard last week. The move raised the question of whether Thomas can stay healthy, and, if not, can Frye replace him?

Few people on the Dolphins roster are as familiar with Frye as the guy lined up to his left-hand side: center Jake Grove.


Grove was mainstay at Virginia Tech when Frye arrived in 2003 as a defensive end.

Since then Frye, 26, has undergone a complete transformation, thanks to a move to offensive line and countless hours in the weight room, where he set a position record with a 705-pound squat lift.

“He’s a hard-nosed guy,” Grove said. “He’s an athletic guy. He’s put on a lot of weight in a good way since I played with him.

“I’m looking forward to seeing what he can do.”

Grove isn’t alone, considering an offensive line is only as good as its weakest link.

I hope he does well. I think we all know Ndukwe is not the answer...
 
More positive things about this guy? It's obvious the staff loves his strength, but maybe now he finally has his technique down.
I'm still rooting for DThom, my favorite story out of camp last year, but if Frye beats him, I'm fine with that, it means we got ourselves two good guards. It could mean Dthom is just really injured too though :(

Ndukwe might be one of our best pulling guards, that man was always downfield and making good blocks, he's a very athletic guard. He stuggled bigtime in Pass Protection, and in the power running game, he's not the ideal destuctor of a RG we need. I'm suprised we didn't grab Duke Robinson or Herman Johnson in the 5th round, that size is perfect for our system, they must just be gentle giants.

Either way, i like all of our guards minus Murphy, he doesn't strike me as a good competitor. So Best of luck too all, even Murphy
 
can't go wrong with a hokie. w/ 2 of them, we're infinitely better than any OL in the entire league! ;)
 
I still think that Ike Ndukwe will win the job regardless. Frye, Thomas doesnt really matter. Ike will win it outright. Go ahead and bash me.
