Steen and Hull sign tenders

Was good to hear Thomas turned down a 3 year deal to stay here.
Both are good depth. I was hoping Hull would be a diamond in the rough but that's probably not gonna happen.

Darren Rizzi is a happy man today.
Nice.
Or more likely than being a starter, not even on the week one roster.
Bushrod? Larsen? Steen?
Tannehill should very seriously consider strike action if this OL isnt sorted.

You keep stressing Tannehill . . . Both Larsen and Bushrod are solid pass protectors, plus we upgraded at LT and James got better as a RT over the 2nd half. A healthy Pouncey and we have a top 10 pass protection unit.
The worry is the running game, and yet we still had a top 6 rusher without Pouncey and a lesser Bushrod coming off a shoulder injury.
And FYI,
This 2016 offensive line gave up 13 sacks over the last 11 games (post three stooges)
The coaches and turnstiles of the past are gone. No need for Ryan to go on strike . . . He just needs to continue rehabbing that knee and continue improving.

Solid might be a bit of a stretch, but I could agree with serviceable pass protectors if you would accept a friendly amendment?
Larsen is very hit or miss (literally and figuratively) in the run game, and Bushrod graded out among the very worst run blocking guards in the league last year. I'm OK keeping Bushrod as a substitute be cause of his position flexibility and his non-disasterous pass protection. But come on Kdawg, please tell me you agree that we should be upgrading from these two guys, right?

I think Adam Gase can run a top 10 offense with both guys starting 16 games and I think we continue to think we will see performance like we did under Philbin/Thomas/Turner/Douglas. Fact is over the last 11 games this offense produced a top 3 rusher and a hair over 1 sack given up per game. That is top of the league numbers.
If you can upgrade without sacrificing attention to the defense, then go for it, but the biggest help to the offense will be having a defense that can get them the football more often. I mean this defense ONLY gave up the most yards in Dolphins history.
Lamp at 22 would be a disgrace. I am sorry, i keep hearing his name and it is nauseating knowing we can grab immediate front 7 help.
