Every personnel decision made in respect to the line has been a failure so far. Whether it was replacing Coach Boudreau( who seems to have done a pretty good job in Carolina); putting to much faith in the oft injured Dixon and Nails in 2003( and not finding adequate depth for their inevtable injuries; not making resigning Wade a priority; not developing McKinney or Smith into even average NFL linemen; and moving up in the draft to take a player that cannot crack a pathetic lineup; it all looks bad,the list can go on. The Dolphins replaced 4 starters from last year; 3 of whom are judged unworthy of even backup jobs by 31 other teams and are by all early indications even worse than before.
How is this possible?
I am not great fan of this coach, but thought the gloomy comparisons to his tenure in Chicago were a little off base. No longer. It is crystal clear the Dave and co. have completely mismanaged either the talent evaluations or the player development on offense. Chicago is still trying to repair the damage done by Hurricane Dave; how long will it take here?
