It has not been an easy week for Miami Dolphins right tackle Tyson Clabo.

First, Clabo gave up two sacks in Miami’s upset loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Then, about 24 hours later, the Dolphins orchestrated a trade with the Baltimore Ravens to acquire former Pro Bowl offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie.

Miami put the writing on the wall for Clabo. It’s not a matter of if, but when, Clabo will be benched in favor of McKinnie. The Dolphins must teach McKinnie a new offense and he will play left tackle. In turn, Miami is expected to move Jonathan Martin to right tackle and bench Clabo, who has allowed a team-high eight sacks in six games.

Clabo said he hasn’t been notified of any lineup changes but admits he's “in the dark” about his role for Sunday’s game against the AFC East rival New England Patriots. Clabo assured that he will remain a professional through the process.

“I try to be an adult, that’s part of it,” Clabo said. “I won’t throw a temper tantrum or do anything stupid. I still have a job in the NFL, one of the greatest jobs in the world. I’m going to continue to do my job, which is do whatever they ask me.

“If they ask me to back up, I’m going to back up. If they want to come in and play, I’m going to play. That’s my job, and I’m just trying to do my job."

at least he owns up to the fact that he is washed up, and is a man about it.
 
Such a big disappointment he has been. I really though we had RT taken care of when we brought him in.

Clayboy I blame you for the first 6 the staff for the other 2. You should have been benched.
 
The alarming thing about this whole thing is that MARC COLUMBO was actually a better RT than Clabo is very scary thought! If MARC COLUMBO was a turnstile, then CLABO is just AIR!!!
 
I thought Clabo would be solid. Now we are cornering the market on washed up tackles
 
"I am going to continue to do my job. Which is to do whatever they ask me to do." LOL, has anyone asked him to block yet???
 
Our next coach might not be an OL guru because apparently this makes the oline worse lol
 
Winston should have been the pick up from the beginning...ZBS experience and Miami Grad.

Winston is struggling too.

You were right, we should have traded for Albert. I was against the trade, and I was wrong.

Funny, I was right about Jennings over Wallace (IMO) and wrong about that move. My average is as good as Jeff Ireland's this offseason. :lol:

Here is my thing...the maturation of Ryan Tannehill is SO IMPORTANT. I like the weapons they got for him, but talent on the line was always questionable and they are misfits for what they are being asked to do. Asking John Jerry to run a stretch play is one of the dumbest things I have seen in an NFL game.

By trading for Albert that would have had one of the best pass blocking LT's in the league, Incognito and Pouncey have been good and Martin was okay at RT. That left RG and to this day I do not know why Jerry keeps getting snaps. A. why was this spot not upgraded better in FA/draft and B. Nate Garner would serve to give the athleticism needed at that spot. I know he gets hurt a ton, but who cares at this point. It is not as if he is playing right now.

If Tannehill does not improve this year or gets injured, it sets the team back even longer. Having a bad line does not help this process.
 
Kind of feel bad for the guy. He's been horrible and deserves the blame but man that's gotta be rough. He seems like a nice enough guy, at least he has a good attitude about it.
