Miami Dolphins Rebuilding - Again

[Southieinnc]

Weak O-line is still weak and must be improved.
Window on "great secondary" is closing or is it closed?

Dolphins decline Jackson, Igbinoghene options

The Dolphins declined the fifth-year options for offensive lineman Austin Jackson and cornerback Noah Igbinoghene.

Even with all the injuries the oline was still better than last year. It can only get better so watch out.

Chris Perkins: Dolphins' offensive tackle positions, curiously, remain a question

It's unlikely that either Cedric Ogbuehi or Isaiah Wynn, the pair of former first-round picks the Miami Dolphins signed Monday, is an answer at starting right tackle. It's another sign of slow and, hopefully, steady progress for the Dolphins as they patiently try to build the offensive tackle...

They did this gag on American Dad.

Even if #1 happens the mismanagement of Tua's concussions leaves him vulnerable to simple hits and being concussed.

This was partly my though as well as Tua's inability to protect himself. Unless he learns how to take a hit and go to the ground in a protective position, he will get concussed again and his career will come to an end.

The Dolphins have been rebuilding their O-line for many years.
Many 1st round picks and many changes and they still can't block.
Here is an excerpt frpm Tannehills time with Dolphins:

".....Tannehill went 21 of 40 for 307 yards and a touchdown, but he was sacked six times in the 26–23 loss.[47] Two weeks later against the Buffalo Bills, Tannehill went 19 of 37 for 194 yards and threw three touchdowns and two interceptions, while fumbling once to the Bills and being sacked twice in the 23–21 loss.[48] In the next game against the New England Patriots, he went 22 of 42 for 192 yards and two touchdowns and two interceptions. He lost a fumble and was sacked six times in the 27–17 road loss.[49] In the next game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Tannehill went 20 of 28 for 208 yards along with a 1-yard touchdown run despite being sacked six times due to the tottering offensive line in the 22–20 overtime victory."

Dolphins learned from last season, added depth to offensive line

Miami didn't load up like it did last season, but Isaiah Wynn and Cedric Ogbuehi should push for starting jobs or regular rotation spots.

There goes another #1 draft pick!

I disagree with Armstead as he gutted it out most of the season and made a huge difference. When he's in the whole lines better even if its part time.

Terron Armstead played 2 games this year and is now on IR.
He has never played a whole season and looks like he'll miss at least 8 games - if not more!
He is a $31 million dead money if you cut him and he'll cost $20 million because you won't.
Dolphins O-line was starting to perform pretty well, will this be the start of a slide?

They need to get Armstead back for the stretch run for sure. Gonna struggle vs. the good pass rush teams. Expecting a lot of dink and dunk from Tua because teams simply won't let Hill and Waddle beat them over the top. Those RBs are scary fast though.

It was a terrible signing. I wonder who wanted him so bad?

Really had no choice as the oline was that bad. This year it's been pretty good with or without TA which is a good sign. Just keep him healthy for the stretch run could be a huge difference in the playoffs if of course they make it which I feel confident in this happening.

If the OL can protect Tannehill, the offense should hum. Branden Albert healthy and using Tunsil at RG should be good. James at RT is solid, and Pouncey is one of the better OC's in the NFL. The RG spot is a big fat ? right now.

The D has some players, but might be a little shaky as a unit, overall.

"Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: The Miami Dolphins’ offensive line is a big question mark heading into the season. That’s the assessment of CBS Sports’ NFL writer Jared Dubin, who recently took a look at the biggest areas of concern for each team heading into the 2024 season.

For the Miami Dolphins, it’s once again the offensive line. Miami had a good offensive line, when healthy, last season, but things fell apart towards the latter part of the year when injuries piled up and Miami simply didn’t have the depth at the position to sustain their early-season success. That could be the case again this year...."

The O-Line is definitely the biggest concern for the Fins - they have an extremely explosive offense and a talented D, but their O-Line looks a bit shaky and can it hold up well as the season goes on and keep Tua protected? I’m still picking the Fins to win the East, but yeah their O-Line’s stability is something to watch.

If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten!
Terron Armstead about to play a full season at LT? LOL!
Lost 3 starters on the O-line? LOL

".....a major, major concern, especially with Terron Armstead -- or have some of the talent issues crop up, and things begin to fall apart like they did late last season."
