hell it was shown that the OL was told to use different techniques each week, proper coaching will help a lot, hopefully get something out of guys we haven't seen anything out of yet,
The OL was certainly part of what made Tannehill one of the most sacked QB’s during his career and lead to his knee injury during the best season of his career, ultimately forcing the team to move on from him. You can’t acknowledge the horrific OL play Miami has had and then just completely discount it as a factor in the QB’s lack of success, no matter how much you disliked him.
It’s OK, though, if the front office doesn’t shore up the OL properly for the new QB, you will get to see the same scenario over again as proof, and it won’t matter if the QB is named Tua, Rosen or Lock. Fail on the LOS=Fail on the season.
Exactly, and as bad as it sounds, a part of me hopes they don't fix the line and draft a Tua type just to prove the point, albeit only a small part of me hopes that as a fan. If the Oline does not get fixed, then will they blame the Qb or the line?

I agree. I think a lot of our problems were from coaching and/or schemes.
The O-line looked unprepared MANY times. It looked as if they didn't know what to do, as in, WHO to block.
Also, the RBs can't be held harmless in the lack of protection either. It also looked like THEY didn't know who to block.
Was it overall scheme? Was it T-hill calling the WRONG protections at the line? Was it players not executing properly? Who knows, but it was on the coaches to fix the problem, and they didn't do it.
OL play is all about effort, Jesse Davis as big as he is got whipped constantly, Larsen did too, everybody that comes to Miami from other teams plays like crap, we need nasty SOB's in the trenches, They cost Tannehill his career, they give the team a rebate.
What point?
That a rookie can't prosper behind a suspect oline?
We had a QB for 7 years that proved that yo be the case.
Are you a Dolphins fan, or a Tannehill fans...you sound clearly the latter.
We'll have to see about that. I think he's gonna be a LO, Left Out...Jesse Davis is a natural Right Tackle. Thats his position, maybe he struggled at RG because of that. Give him a chance at RT in pre-season. The backup, Sam, is a decent RT too though he was terrible at LT
Defensive players are drafted and paid to pressure QBs.
Every QB faces pressure MOST of the time.
RT had his shot. He’s similar to David Carr and Rob Johnson. No pocket awareness and takes too many unnecessary sacks
Why does it matter whether he’s a dolphin fan or Tannehill fan, what he said was the truth.What point?

our ol/dl played up down. so did thill17 last yr. sad part is we almost mad playoff. we need fresh start in MiamiI will clear up this debate once and for all...
our oline sucked and so did Tanehill.
Cant make a good anything out of 2 sucks... In football at least.
Yes we need to upgrade the O-line but that article didn't really tell us anything.
