Merged: Pouncey could miss First Half of Season

Just saw on ESPN that he will most likely be out longer than anticipated.

Per Mort on NFL live.

Are you kidding me??? That was about the most preposterous combination of drivel I have ever read! Pouncey and his brother are already beating people up in night clubs as early as last week
 
I am pulling for Larsen. He was one of the better OC in the draft. Do not know why he did not get drafted.
 
Pouncey doesn't sound like a guy we can count on for the short or long term.

We should call up all those posts of people saying the line is better off without Pouncey.

You should avoid the posts stating we should find his eventual replacement this past Draft and FA though. ;)

Oh, I need to spell it out for you, ok

IF POUNCEY IS ABLE TO BEAT PEOPLE UP IN NIGHT CLUBS(WHICH I WAS K-I-D-D-I-N-G) THEN HE IS NOT AS INJURED AS REPORTED. GET IT???? YOU KNOW......A JOKE????

I don't have an opinion on him really, but I imagine most posts were indicating the team would be better off without him, not the line and pure performance. He is obviously a good football player.

EDIT: Ok, I get that we've butted heads a few times in the past, but I genuinely wasn't sure what you were getting at. I apologize if that came across as rude or something.

I don't think we're as bad off as people think. I think we're going Albert, Thomas, Larsen/Brenner, Turner, James. Personally, I hope Larsen turns out to be an overlooked gem.

Now is the time to find Pouncey's replacement on this team. Pouncey might have played his last meaningful snap as a Dolphin. I don't care what he brings, I want last year's OL in the rear view mirror.

Agreed. I thought the OL played better last season when Ritchie, Mikey, & Johnny weren't on the field.

The OT positions are solid plus Miami now has a decent OL coach.

I agree the edge has been neutralized. Even with James being a Rookie. This young kid has his head on right. He's got professional written all over him. By Week 8, he'll be locked in for a long time.

I think the biggest challenge is for the interior to prove they can handle pressure. We will be tested a lot up the gut to begin. And our running game will take scheming to build cohesion and strength at first. But honestly, I think if we let the best guy win in camp and don't constantly tinker with chemistry, this unit will be solid by Week 8. And we can FINALLY, move the focus and concern away from the OL. This year's draft and FA built our future OL. I know people think Pouncey's loss is big... but I see it as a blessing. It may reveal our future at C on the roster.

I'm sure Pouncey will have to play at some point to prove he's healed. But I truly believe Pouncey is done in Miami.

And I'm rooting for Larsen to make everyone stand up and take notice. He seems like a great "underdog" center with a lot to prove and the tools to prove it.

Our RB's will have to shoulder some interior pick up in the early going. But something tells me Lazor will get the ball out of RT's hands quick to help buy the OL time to gel and put any issues to rest.

I honestly don't see a problem here.
 
Eh. Not sure It really makes all that much difference Imo. I had us pegged at 6-10 this year with a fully healthy team anyway. 4-12 isn't much of a difference
