You have 2 great running backs, problem is your line !! ... those guys dont look like they are ready to block for 2 1000 yard runners.

Yeh...well...Vic-----Tor...they looked pretty damned good against one of the best D Line's in the game..dare I say....better than the Bills even.
 
The line is getting better. They're actually giving the QB's time. To me it looks like the backs are picking the wrong holes sometimes. I've seen where there has been room to run, and they run to be tackled. Of course I have a better view from my living room.:lol:

I agree that the Miami line isn't great or anyting but Ricky gained 1350 with the craapy 2003 version and 1000 yards isn't really that big of a feat.
 
if the line really is a good/bad/equal to 2002 than I'm about to start getting really excited!

If Ricky Williams is not cut, He and Ronnie Brown could do something that the Dolphins haven’t done in 33 years. There’s a possibility that the Dolphins could have two 1,000-yard rushers. (That would sure make Frerotte, Feely, Rosenfels, and Berlins job easier.) I really hope this O line comes together. The running attack that we could punish opposing defenses with would be spectacular. Just a thought :cool:

cut should have been traded

^He does have a point. Though our line is showing improvement they are nowhere near elite status and that's pretty much what it would take for us to have two 1,000 yd rushers considering Ricky will miss the first 4 games. Do we have two runners that are capable of simultaneously having 1,000 yard seasons = yes, Do we have the line for that scenario = no.

So together that means we'll at least get 1500 between the two, wich would be cool with me... also what if the o-line gels at mid season, things could get crazy :evil:
 
I like to see the Rickey run punts and kickoffs back like he did in the pro bowl. Got nothing to lose.

This line is, RIGHT NOW, no worse than the 2002 OL that blocked for RopeWeed to the tune of 1,800+ yards.


Maaaaayyyyybeeeee....that line had Jamie "Route 66" Nails. I don't see a G on this team that can pull like he could. That Norv Turner signature "Counter Trey" was damn near impossible to stop. Ask the Bills and Bears. I do feel that this line as it is now, is way better than what we were at any time last year. Houck appears to be the magician he was made out to be.
