I have been very critical of our offensive line so I just think its fair to show them some love when they deserve it. They deserve it after yesterday. With guys dropping like flies and playing out of position, they were still able to protect Tua pretty well in the passing game. They still have a ways to go on run blocking, but they have improved majorly and it deserves recognition. Shoutout to Little, who has been a big surprise and I hope his hand is OK for Thursday. Also, gotta show some love to Armstead who did a very good job against Miller. Keep it up! DOLPHINS #1
 
The D were the hero’s yesterday but you could also make a case for the OLine being the unsung hero’s. Amazing protection last two games. A complete turnaround from last year even with a couple of injuries this year. Shows you what a competent coaching staff can do

Can’t overstate Armstead impact
He looks like a hall of famer out there
Not only a competent LT but also a leader. Who’s not scared to call a timeout if he feels something not right

When have we last seen this kind of play on the line
 
I'm gonna be honest, i didn't think our o-line could do it. I thought there was going to be a log of free shots on Tua, but they protected him better than the first half of the Ravens game. They cleaned up the missed blocks by our TE's mostly also. Steady improvement through the 3 games. Its a great sign. This Dolphins offense is still brand new and coming into their own. They will continue to improve as they get more comfortable with the system. They are playing amazing only 3 games into an entirely new offense. Not just a new playbook, but also the players to.

You said it. Leading up to this game that was my biggest concern. I thought Tua would have pressure in his face all day. That game was very refreshing. I said before the game if Tua is not forced into mistakes and errors we would have a solid shot.
 
No doubt they're starting to click....it takes time for the O-line to jell and this is a new offense too. They should only get better if they can stay together out there
 
If anyone hears an update on Little's hand injury, please post it. I seriously hope our oline is good for thursdays game.

agreed, When they moved him to RT, i thought our offense was done. The saddest part of our previous oline issues seem to have been a lot more about coaching than i realized.

Amen! So many here were dismissive of how much the OL could improve with better coaching.
