Miami was looking for a left tackle because number one we needed someone who played natural at the position due to team needs and number two because we wanted to move dixon back to his natural Left Guard Position meaning that ed Perry would either be released which he was going to be released or a sustancial pay cut. Perry was on the verge of being release this season so I suggest you people post something that makes sense before being bashed like others.
The coaching staff has full trust in Mark Dixon as he is one of our best players and he was voted by the assosiated press as one of the best lineman in the afc last season. He could have made it to the Pro Bowl as a back up at most. He got some good votes in the afc and I bet none of you knew this. Mark Dixon gave a few sacks last season and thats what led the coaches made him stay at left tackleif they can't find anyone else. Wade smith is still not fully ready, he has had strides of bad technique in game time but that just is what is expected from a low draft pick coming out of college.
Anyhow, the most rediculous statement i ever heard for this whole thread was moving Mark Dixon to Right tackle. Do you realize that this guy is already undersized for playing Left Tackle so imagine how undersize he would be for playing Right tackle? Todd Wade is a good player and he just had a bad game just like every lineman in our Offense had yesterdays game so that ain't anything new. Wade Smith had a horrible game, he was being slapped by the weak side rush a lot. Its ok to see a breakdown of the offensive line specially since they are facing a different kind of defense than they usually face so it takes sustancial ajustment to the game.
Another ridiculous stament has been that Wade is a bad run blocker. If anything, last years our most succesful runs came off the tackle and between the tackles. Ricky had success running to the outside a lot. If we had such an inconsistency at right tackle then the coaching staff would take a note of that but they can't take a note on something that there is no problem at so I don't see what you people are arguing about.
As for oliver, Dixon is not past his prime and he just need to overcome injuries. When healthy he's one of the best lineman in the afc and he plays both left tackle and Left guard with technique and thats not something that you see a lot in this league. Transition from Guard To left Tackle fails most of the time now adays due to athetism, speed and other factors. Dixon is our most athletic Lineman for a fact.

You are crazy. Miami was looking for a LT, which means Dixon shifts to LG meaning Nails moves to RG meaning Perry is out of a job. So he would be replaced. Perry has not once saved Wade's ***. Please show me one time when he has picked up a guy who got pasted him and blocked him. Wade and Perry both block their guys and do a good job. I agree that Perry is underrated but he is still the worst of the 5.

PT they were looking for a LT before they drafted Wade Smith. They were not looking for a LT because they wanted Dixon at LG or RG, they were looking for a LT during FA and the draft because they do not trust Dixon for TWO reasons at LT. #1 he is not a natural LT, and #2 he has a long history of injuries.
No way either Nails or Todd Perry would lose their jobs to Dixon during this off-season if Nails was healthy, which he is. He was injury prone before this last ankle or leg problem. He was an is a liability at LT, and nothing more than a stop gap move until a real LT can be found. I think we've found that LT in Wade Smith, we'll see.
Crazy or not that's how things are and how things went.
