You're a damned year late, Grier.

My only question from this is which guards were worse than those two sad sacks?

"MIAMI ENTERED THE 2024 season with two returning starters on the offensive line in Terron Armstead and Austin Jackson, two elevated returners in Liam Eichenberg and Robert Jones, and a new center in Aaron Brewer.

Brewer didn't miss a game, while Armstead played in 15 -- his most since 2019. But Jackson missed nine games because of a knee injury while Eichenberg and Jones ranked 61st and 63rd out of 65 qualified offensive guards this season in pass block win rate.

The Dolphins' primary swing tackle, Kion Smith, suffered a torn ACL in the preseason. Last season's starting left guard, Isaiah Wynn, had a setback to the quad injury he suffered in 2023 and logged offensive snaps in just three games.

Grier admitted to a sense of urgency with the group entering this offseason.

"We had some players that were very confident in [offensive line coach] Butch [Barry] and Mike," Grier said. "Those guys, I thought, deserved some praise because of what they had done the year before. And they started out the year well and unfortunately, injuries got to us, we didn't finish well ... We're going to have to invest in the offensive line now."

Tyreek's murky future, a culture of unaccountability and FAs galore: Miami has much to fix this offseason

The Dolphins must address Hill's situation, concerning culture issues, backup QB and more ahead of 2025.

Nothing McDaniel has done so far even remotely promotes accountability. And IF he tries to do it now, it's already too late. That is the problem with trying to be all buddy buddy as a boss. The players will not accept it as they would if it was done from the start and ESPECIALLY when the team starts losing again and/or hard times, players will do the same ****. They will want out.

My God all the holes we have to fill. 16 mil over already? We are completely ****ed for next year. And don't none of you positive Nancy's try to spin this any other way. We are screwed. This team will not be good next year.

Personally, I'm looking forward to laughing my butt off watching this pathetic team in 2025. Since Ross didn't clean house like he should have, I'm certain that the team will suck, and hopefully they'll suck bad enough for Ross to finally fire Grier and McDaniel.

Not true! We fired Crossman for awful special teams play!

Just ignore the fact that it’s 2 years too late but accountability!!!

I take your point about accountability and agree. I don't think you can put the cat back in the bag on that front. That said, I don't think this team quit on MM after a 2-6 start to the season, which does give me a small degree of hope that he hasn't completely lost the respect of the locker room. There is a lot of smoke though when it comes to our team culture, so who knows...

As for cap space, I suspect Grier will clear a lot more of it than people expect, with significant restructures on some key contracts. Whether that's a good idea is another matter. But Grier and MM know their jobs are on the line next season, so I think Grier will do everything possible to mortgage the future to maximise short term success. We'll have more cap room to play with than most here expect.
 
Questions this off season?
Seriously?
The answer is no hope in 2025.
We are stuck with a weirdo as head coach that has no clue how to coach.
We are stuck with a GM that cant draft, cant recognize personnel weaknesses.

Lol. These players have no respect for McDaniel.
They think he is a weirdo with no discipline and probably never pay attention to his bumbling rambles.
They most likely respect Weaver and a couple of assistants.
Most bad teams still play hard to prevent injuries and increase their individual value in the market.
