We Are Still Going To The SB
Finally, as camp closes shop and the Dolphins look to solidfy their offensive line, Sparano was asked after practice about the role of Lydon Murtha. Murtha, who has held the left tackle role while All-Pro tackle Jake Long is listed on the physically unable to perform list, has been solid in that role all training camp, leading to speculation that he might replace Marc Colombo at the right tackle position when Long gets backk.
Sparano seems to have the same idea:
"Well, my vision for [Lydon], when we do get Jake back here, you know, it's going to be to get him in the mix here. You know, with probably more on the right side, certainly, than the left side. You know, Lydon has to be ready to do everything, you know. In other words, at the game, he's got to be ready to go in and play guard, he's got to be ready to go in and play both tackles.
"In the past, we haven't beem able to get him in left tackle as mush as we like, so it's been a good thing for him. Playing left, against [Jason Taylor] everyday and doing some of those things, I think it's been really productive for him. You know, you're not guessing on whether or not you have a left tackle.
"God forbid something happens here, but this guy can go in the game and play for you. I know he can play right, and the guard thing he played last year, so he can do a lof of jobs."
