- It was meant to be a private moment where the Miami Dolphins' two quarterbacks were exchanging thoughts, sharing their observations from Sunday's embarrassing 19-0 loss to Buffalo.
In a instance of honesty came close to expressing an ounce of frustration.
"Any time I tried to do something there was a…." Tannehill says to Matt Moore before noticing the conversation was being overheard.
There was a what... a defender in his face? An offensive lineman or tailback missing a blitzer? A crippling sack pinning him to the ground?
All of the above would fit into his sentence, but Tannehill wouldn't finish the thought. He wouldn't dare be critical of the Dolphins' 2013 offensive line.

They do suck and it all starts with our overrated head bombing center! When Pouncey bobs his head the dline goes!
 
I think Pouncey and McKinnie are fine. Its the rest of the line that needs to go; Clabo and Jerry. Brenner is an undrafted rookie so give him some time. But we for sure need to be drafting OL early in the draft, or try using Dallas Thomas to see what hes made of. Imagine if we had Brandon Gibson and Dustin Keller playing, our receiving corps would be so much better.
 
McKinnie got beat like a drum yesterday. He tries and he has a lot of great experience but he's old and he's lost that first step. And that's the only thing good defenders need to get around him. I don't even want to comment on the rest of our guys. As a unit they are pathetic.

I watched Philly stomp the Bears last night and found myself wishing we had their fast, athletic linemen. Yo Ireland, are you listening? We need some new, young, big, fast guys up there.
 
So there bad now. Is it still Ritchie's fault? You guys are like the wind.
 
I think Ryan needs to take a page from Dan's book and rip his OLinemen some new asses. If this was Marino being sacked this much, he would've been chewing their asses up one side and down the other.
 
One of the worst groups I've seen assembled. Thanks Jeff.

McKinnie showed yesterday why he was demoted in Baltimore. He may not get pushed back and blown up on every play like Martin was but he's not the solution at LT.

They've always been bad...people were just comparing them to the O-line with Richie and Martin on it...which was worse. It was a skewed perspective.

I'm with you there buddy,Pouncy and the team would be much better off with him at guard.

Well apparently buying them Jet Ski's isn't away to keep yourself alive!
 
Bills players have said the did not have a hard time timing their blitzes and fall outs because of the pre snap stuff your LG and C do.

See Robey blitz at end of game it was timed perfectly with your centers head Bob.

The head Bob and turn an loom your LG does would not be as bad if you changed it up every now and then. But never does.
 
the sad thing is they are gonna rebuild this unit and it's probably gonna be ireland doing it...and after the way the lb rebuild turned out....:baghead:
