The Dolphins’ Problem That Can Never Get Fixed And What Must Happen Now

[DKphin]

It’s the Dolphins problem that seemingly never gets fixed longterm – at least not this century. And now, once again, the Dolphins’ grand offensive line plans have shattered to a million pieces.

Season-ending injuries to Pro Bowl guard Josh Sitton and center Daniel Kilgore were misfortune, not personnel miscalculations. But let’s also be clear about this:

Somebody – anybody - on this line must consistently rise above mediocrity or this running game - tepid the past two weeks and averaging 3.8 per carry (22nd in the league) - will remain grounded. And if Laremy Tunsil and Ja’Wuan James are ever going to play like the dominant first-rounders the Dolphins would have expected, now would be a good time.

Amazing that a team with TWO centers in the HOF and some great guards over the years can not fix the problem that has been going on for so long. This has hurt the whole team for years.

G C G. Been looking to solve these positions way too long.

It's really simple. They do a crappy job of scouting and developing OL talent. The only guys we draft that turn out to be any good are the guys we draft in the top 20, and they wind up being really mistake prone, too.

Or overrated. Miami really didn’t have a scout that could tell Dallas Thomas was no good?

Sitton's loss really hurts. He was working well with Tunsil. Fingers crossed that Tunsil and James make it thru the year without injury.

Or Jamil Douglas? Or Billy Turner? Or Isaac Asiata?

And I would say that the tackles have not been a real issue in comparison to our guard play. When I think of QB play I think of pocket presence. We never have a pocket presence because our guards let plays get blown up in the middle way too often.

I watch our defensive ends get close to QBs all the time. But on offense it is too often a tackle or pressure coming through the A and B gaps.

And anything even remotely exotic with stunts, x, or blitz pickup is instant penetration.

How do give your QB time and your running backs big holes? You need a Dante Scarnecchia. The OL is all about coaching.

How’s Dan Feeney doing? You can never let your fan base be smarter than you with infinitely less information.
