Say what you want but our O-line is below garbage. Even with T-Hill back there you can't do ****. Miami better redue the O-line in the offseason for T-Hill won't make it through the season. What a piss poor performance. Complete utter trash. And Gase calls the most horrendous plays at the wrong time.
 
Romo said it best. Gase has to change his playbook to a more dink and dunk style.
 
I will admit I've been very confused by the success we've had early this season. But these past two weeks have made it clear who we are. We're the same team with horrid offensive line issues. The front office has tried and tried and tried and it has failed:

Dallas Thomas
Billy Turner
Jamil Douglas
Jonathan Martin
Juwaun James
Mike Pouncey

And literally dozens of stop gap guards and tackles that we've swung and missed at in free agency.

So many draft picks wasted. Don't get me wrong. We have a few individuals who are pretty good. But what does that get us?

The 32nd ranked offense in the NFL, and a franchise quarterback who is gonna go a season and a half without playing football because what we knew would happen eventually happened. Tannehill, the most sacked QB got hurt playing behind a laughable Oline.

So if we can't get it right in free agency, or in the draft, why the heck should we waste our resources on these players that just aren't getting it done.

Pouncey has to go first and foremost. He has peaked and he's too injury prone and too overpaid.

These garbage guards have to go obviously.

James has actually been our best lineman the last year and a half as far as I'm concerned, but after 2018 you let him walk.

The jury is still out on Tunsil but he's looking like his best shot in the nfl is at guard.

Don't draft a lineman high, don't spend big $ in FA for the Oline. Just put the best young five you can find and put them out there. How could it possibly be any worse than this?

Invest in a tight end. Invest in another dynamic WR cause this trio won't be a trio much longer. Invest in a high round project QB if you feel so inclined.

But please, Ross and Tbaum if you can hear me. Quit burning money on this Oline. It's garbage anyway, at the very least they should be paid as such.
 
Three first round draft picks on the O line, unacceptable to have this level of ineptitude. Is it the scouting, the coaching, both? This organziation stinks from the top to bottom.
 
Move Tunsil to Guard (only because he's still new and cheap), and replace everyone else. IMO, go old-school on the o-line; big, nasty, physically dominating road-graders. Screw that finesse garbage... that's what Philbin wanted and it's a complete failure.
 
I hope that they will make a serious effort to finally fix the O-Line going into 2018. They did next to nothing coming into his season. Sorry signing a career backup in Larsen, coercing Bushrod not to retire, drafting a guy in the 5th round and counting on a guy with bad hips was not seriously addressing it.Also having a coked up coach who was never very good at the job anyway didn't help either.
 
Gase clearly wants to be a running team. Ajayi is one of the major faces of the team. You'd think the main focus of the team would be to create a great O-line. But for some reason this team doesn't give two shits about the O-line.
