Pouncey has hip surgery out possibly 3 months

I forgot about Larson. hopefully he can step up. Ive heard some good things about him
 
Why doesn't this surprise me......this guy is nothing but a headache.
 
From what I've read about Larsen and Brenner's somewhat known value, I'm truly not sweating this. Is it good? No. But I see it as a small blessing.

It's a blessing that it happened NOW. And it will give Larsen and Brenner PLENTY of time to become familiar with the OL before Week 1. I honestly think Larsen is a sleeper candidate to crack the starting C. From what I've read about the net, it seems like we found a real gem.

This injury may help an otherwise crowded OL squeeze out a great prospect. Now, we can see what he's got and it gives us great depth options in the future. Brenner and Larsen will get 1st team snaps and get value exposure to the OL at a time in which we need quality depth.

Honestly, this is a not a season jeopardizing issue at this point. Just a bump... and an opportunity.
 
sounds like a torn labrum...out til after the bye at least...book it...gonna try and run a move athletic eagles like oline scheme with 5 slugs...best move athlete up front if it stays status quo in the starting 5 may be the right guard shelley smith...

and if it's true the rbs wont be asked to pass pro as much means that much more pressure on the oline and tight ends to protect...only problem is the eagles have one of the top 3 olines and top move athlete oline in football...

i feel like my qbs gonna end up missing significant time this year due to injury...when it rains it pours i swear

this front could sure use a move athlete like billy turner somewhere in it...i know that much...2 slug tackles and ehh move guys all over the interior now...and one of em struggles in pass pro to boot coming into the building

i'm sorry but jason peters and lane johnson as move athletes blow away our unit...there's no way we can run the same stuff as the eagles with this group...there is gonna have to be more downhill calls

Mike Pouncey's surgery was a labrum repair, source says, which fits with the rough timeline of a few months.

But Pouncey was in good spirits after today's two-hour procedure and is already talking about how soon he can get back.

Pouncey suffered the injury during the team's offseason program.

Sam Brenner took a lot of snaps at center during one of the mini-camp practices last week and figures to fill in during Pouncey's absence. Nate Garner also can play center.

Undrafted Utah State rookie Tyler Larsen is a natural center who's trying to make the team.

Under the timetable given to Pouncey, he would return potentially for the Dolphins' third or fourth game in late September. The Dolphins open Sept. 7 against New England, then play at Buffalo Sept. 14, against Kansas City Sept. 21 and vs. Oakland Sept. 28 in London.

Brenner, and the Kiddie Corps, for now aside from Albert. Well, we do have $16M sitting on the cap.

My understanding is Mike Pouncey's labrum injury was nagging him thru spring. Decided to get it taken care of, for long-term stability.

brenner started last year, he can back up a backup just fine

hmmm, I just feel we are perilously thin on the OL. so we use G's at center and then when the G's go down we use T's @ G.

maybe at cut-down day we can grab a little help. Benton is gonna earn his money if Thomas/Brenner/Turner end up starting in November
 
Pouncey had a nagging injury but the team did not believe it was serious, a source told the Post. They thought he was fine in mini-camp but now feels surgery is the best long term option.

The Dolphins have the option of placing Pouncey on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list which means he would be out six games. The earliest he could return from the PUP list is Week 7 in Chicago. Having Pouncey on the PUP list would free up a roster spot.
