First question discussion in you opinion is oline coach doing a much greater job than what we have had these past 5 years?
Let's talk about the roster next for a minute and muse these points.
AJ as a rookie who was projected at left tackle played left tackle then regressed at that tackle position. So that smells like coaching issues rookies should not regress. So with Armstead injury history would AJ next year be the backup option?
Eich was projected at left guard out of college right where we are playing even though he played left tackle in college. So was he improving this year iyo?
Connor Williams looks like our future Looks like Dieter is probably gone
Hunt is our one bright spot among our draft picks and played ROT well his rookie year. He is a better right guard but my question or thought guards are easier to find than tackle so would the Dolphins be better off moving him to right tackle and playing someone else at right guard.
Robert Jones projected at guard and right guard might be a better fit than on the left where he is currently playing.
Armstead is the million dollars question great addition when healthy but you need 2 players at his position because of injury so who is that going to be? AJ who else.
The rest of the pack appear to me to be veteran rentals the question. She'll at right tackle is getting us by and is the best of the rest. Does he come back next year and who does he put on the bench?
Little has played poorly lately after a couple of adequate games. Should we expect him back?
All the rest of the oline appear veteran rentals with limitee gas in the tanks or practice player types. Anyone with any insight on these guys?

Applebaum, Smith, and McDaniel all have contributed to the offensive lineā€™s improvement with better coaching, better schemes, and better articulation to FO on what type of players successfully fit the system.
It appears the coach has things moving along but we are still pouring resources into this area. So moving forward these young guys I mentioned have to find their spot on the line or we have to find some hidden younger gems that are not overpriced vets.
 
I want some nasty habits, foot fungi infected, ornery, I love Mom tattoo wearin', corn-feed meat-eaters at O-line. In fact I want a cave built off the main locker room with a sign that says "enter at your own risk, animals are not tame!' over the entrance.

I want someone who bullies themselves and smashed their participation trophies because they were smaller than the 1st place trophies. Go find me some of those mongoloids and I'll show you an unstoppable ground game.

So Richie Incognitos basically... Im not disagreeing...

Yeah basically but without the whole "I want to break into the funeral home and cut my dead father's head off and take it home in a jar" thing. šŸ¤£

That's 100% a true story.

A Richie could go a long way towards building a successful o-line. A Conrad Doebler II who brings it on gameday, and leaves it on the field. Don't need Richie's extra drama.

That said, I don't see anyone mentioning Fisher. Does everyone agree he's washed after this year? I didn't watch him play last year.

At worst, the OL coaching has players at the same level as last year. Form my perspective, play is noticeably better. Clearly the OL guys are better than last year. Playing as a unit? Better. No question.

Wait what?
 
The OLine has been so much improved this year - due to talent injections of Armstead and Williams and bolstered by competent coaching and schemes. Night and Day from years past and now with the addition of Eric Fisher I think we will be even more improved...especially when Terron comes back.
