A Look at Our Offensive Linemen

Tannehill on ground

Quite a familiar sight for Dolphins fans, really since Tannehill has been the QB.  I know some of you think it’s all Tannehill’s fault, and that’s fine, but I for one don’t believe that to be the case.  Too much pressure, too often and no containment.  Seems like almost every drop back, someone loses containment on their man, and over the last 2 seasons, there really were good reasons for that.  Injuries depleted our O-line and the depth we had wasn’t up to the task.  Whether it was Brandon Albert injured, or Ja’Wuan James, or Mike Pouncey, it’s been rare to have those 3 former 1st RD picks on the field together.  One good nugget of info uncovered by the infamous Omar Kelly is this.  When those 3 have been healthy and on the field together, Ryan Tannehill, and the Dolphins are 6-1.  Some will scoff at this small sample, and that’s fine too, people will always see what they want, and contrarily ignore what they don’t.  I think it’s unfortunate that we have such a small sample, and if you think about it, this doesn’t even address the shoddy OG play.  Imagine if we had better OG’s than Dallas Thomas, Billy Turner or Jamil Douglas.  It could happen as early as this season, because the NFL draft is only about 2 weeks away!

First, let’s take a look at we currently have on the roster.  At LT, Brandon Albert is the starter, and OT’s Jermon Bushrod (Bears) and Sam Young (Jaguars) were brought in as depth for both tackle positions, as both of the aforementioned players have played both. At C we have Mike Pouncey, and backing him up is OG/C Jamil Douglas, and Jacques McClendon.  At OG, last years starters were a mix of LG Dallas Thomas and Jamil Douglas, and RG Billy Turner and Jamil Douglas.  At RT, I’m assuming a healthy Ja’Wuan James will return as the starter at RT, now that his dislocated toe injury appears to have healed.  Jason Fox is thankfully no longer on the roster, but my lord, is it about time we shore up the depth at OT or what?  Why every year do we get a turnstile at RT like Marc Colombo or Jason Fox?  Ya think maybe it’s time we invested in some quality depth on the O-line?

The 2016 NFL Draft leaves us with plenty of options, so let’s take a look at some of the players that might help us this season and beyond.  I’m going to put them ALL on the table, because you never know if we want to trade up, although it’s unlikely.

Laremy Tunsil

Ole Miss LT Laremy Tunsil  6’5″ 310

Laremy Tunsil is the premier offensive tackle in this draft, and will most likely go top 5, if not #1 to the Tennessee Titans.  With Branden Albert on our roster, unless they have discussed with Albert moving inside, which Albert has played before to OG, the Dolphins drafting Tunsil is even more unlikely.  He is the best prospect though, actually the highest rated prospect by NFL period, but a Dolphin he will not be.

Purdue v Notre Dame

Notre Dame LT Ronnie Stanley  6’6″ 312

 

Ronnie Stanley is the next highest rated LT prospect.  Still a slim chance that he falls all the way to #13 but he is in range to be taken somewhere in the top 10, or slightly beyond.  That puts him in striking range for a reasonable trade up should we want him.  Again, unlikely we trade up for an OT, but it’s possible.  Stanley would also not be a candidate to move inside and is really a pure LT.

Jack Conklin

Michigan St. LT  Jack Conklin  6’6″ 308

Jack Conklin is definitely a realistic possibility at #13.  The Michigan St. LT is a real throwback player, spitting nails and exhibiting toughness.  One of my favorite quotes of this whole draft was an NFC North scout, who said about Conklin “He’s tougher than old beef jerky”.    Whether the scouts or prognosticators are right, some feel Conklin might struggle with NFL speed rushers, and may have to either move to RT, or even possibly inside.  Conklin is a real scrapper, which makes me think he’d fit inside the trenches at OG just fine, and could of course give us depth at OT as well.  Yes, quality depth my friends, the luxury we haven’t had for too long!

Cody Whitehair

Kansas St. OT/OG  Cody Whitehair  6’4″ 301

Cody Whitehair has played LT, RT and LG for Kansas St. so he certainly has some versatility.  Most scouts feel he will be an OG in the NFL, so in the 2nd RD, he could be a target for us.  He would be another player that gives us some depth as either an OG or OT, but could give us an upgrade at OG from what we currently have.

Le'Raven Clark

Texas Tech LT Le’Raven Clark  6’5″ 316

Le’Raven Clark is another 2nd RD possibility for the Dolphins.  Clark has the longest arms in this draft at 36 1/8″ long.  Clark has good foot speed, but likely needs to add more muscle and get stronger in the NFL (As many prospects do).  He could be a guy to groom to replace Branden Albert, and be our LT for a decade, so Clark could definitely be a target of ours, if we think he could be what I said.  NFC scouts said they think he’s going to be a top 5 LT in the NFL.  Sounds good to me!

Germain Ifedi

Texas A&M OG  Germain Ifedi  6’6″ 324

Germain Ifedi looks like an NFL ready starter right now.  Ifedi has power, and also has very long arms (36″).  Germain played both OG and RT at Texas A&M.  Oddly enough though, his NFL comparison is our own Billy Turner.  He is a bit of a project though, like Turner, so although he would be thrown into the mix, the 3 year player may not be ready for us right now, but could could be a very good player in time.

NCAA FOOTBALL: OCT 04 Stanford at Notre Dame

Stanford OG  Joshua Garnett  6’4″ 312

Garnett looks to be a pro ready NFL OG.  Very thickly built lower body ideal for working in the trenches, he also has very good upper body strength.  A Stanford OL, again???  I think Garnett will be fine, although I also thought Jon Martin would be fine, so if you want to stop reading the rest of this, I understand.  NFL comparison is Gabe Jackson, who is doing just fine in the NFL for the Oakland Raiders, and a player both D and I wanted for our Dolphins. I could see Garnett winning a starting OG spot this season.

Christian Westerman

Arizona St.  OG  Christian Westerman  6’3″ 298

Westerman is a a very athletic OG, with lots of pop.  Weight room warrior who never stops.  Scouts say some of his actual strength doesn’t always show up on the field, but I would think learning technique from the right coaches would help that.  Westerman is a true OG prospect, and should be taken somewhere between the RD 2-4.  His NFL comparison is Alex Mack, and who wouldn’t want Alex mack on our O-line right now?

There are plenty more prospects out there, and I will leave that for you all to discuss and bring up on the blog!

    I think it’s fair to say that CB is the one position where we don’t have a starter at 1 spot. OG IMO is another, but I don’t know what the coaches think. They might be comfortable with Douglas and Turner. I kinda hope not though.

    • D's avatar D says:

      I still think DE is also a need to get a stud spot, though i think we could get by with a guy like Kaufusi, or Tapper.

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        I could say the same about LB, but at the moment, we do have 2 starters at DE in Branch and Mario. You want to upgrade, and so do I, but CB, we really need someone to be a starter opposite Maxwell, and Lippett or McCain is a big stretch.

    • Ken's avatar Ken says:

      I think LB is also a place without a starter. I mean we have 3 guys on the roster 1-2 of them are not starter quality imo.

  2. Ken's avatar Ken says:

    Dbolt:
    I think we are in pretty good shape at WR. We are pretty good at 1-3 right now. It is not an immediate need. We have 3 guys that are young and yes Still contract is up next year but long way to go between now and then. This year’s crop of WRs is not as good as the last couple and with so many other needs I see us going in other directions.

    • dbolt48's avatar dbolt48 says:

      LOL. Unfortunately I want good at WR 1-5 because of injuries. I’m greedy yet practical😆

      • Ken's avatar Ken says:

        Yes but when we don’t have anybody good at 1 at CB, LB and OG it is kind of hard say our no. 5 WR is better than your no. 5 WR.

  5. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    UCLA WR/TE Thomas Duarte visited the Dolphins earlier this week.
    Duarte is the type of move tight end who could develop into a real weapon in Adam Gase’s system. Because of his niche skillset, Duarte is going to have to find the right fit to excel in the NFL. A WR/TE tweener, he isn’t for anyone.

  6. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    I’m sure the Rams know precisely which QB they’re taking, it’s just everyone else that has no idea. You don’t make that trade and then start thinking about who you like, no shot that happens.

    • D's avatar D says:

      I tend to agree. It might be possible that they have both about the same rating and they wanted to be in the driver seat to prevent any other team jumping them if they did something like trade with 3 to get whomever the Browns didnt take, but yeah im pretty sure they basically said do we thing is worth all this we are giving up, not a do you think whichever guy wins the enney meeny miney mo game is worth it, lol.

    I think this draft has potential to yield 3 day 1 starters out of the first 3 – 4 rounds. If we draft well i could easily see us draft a starting CB, a starting or at least 1st year rotational player at DE and LB and a starting OG.

  9. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Every time I see Darron Lee mocked to us at #13, I cringe. I really don’t like that pick. I think it’s a major reach, and something the old Raiders would do

      I dont like Lee for us at all. I dont thin he is good as Deion Jones to be honest. If he wasnt from Ohio State, i believe people would be talking 3rd round at best with him.

      He was pretty much their entire offense. The numbers he put up in that offense were just retarded lol. He averaged like 20 yards a catch, had like 14 TD’s…. remarkable stuff. He really looks good on tape too.

  11. D's avatar D says:

    I sure hope a lot of teams dont milk the entire 10 minutes just getting to the picks they already knew they would make before they even got there. If so…2 fucking hours until they get to us. It makeuh mah eyes rain!

    STRENGTHS Plays like his hair is on fire. Posted eye­-opening production in 2015. Motor is always in the red and brings enthusiasm and urgency to the field. Has good size, but plays even bigger. Able to play through contact and still make difficult, contested catches. Confidence took off as season progressed. Doesn’t have blazing speed but hit explosive play after explosive play. Good leaper with great body control to win high percentage of 50-50 balls. Good hand fighter down the sideline. Will drain every yard he can get out of every catch.

  16. D's avatar D says:

    NBC signing on to make a reality show of Trumps run for president, this show will have a the behind the sense stuff from the campaign trail that very few people in this country actually knows goes on.

    D,
    It’s not that I’m such a staunch diehard ‘believer’ in Trump.
    I just know thru lots of research non-mainstream, that the other candidates have serious ties to establishment donors & tainted records of such as well.

    Then comes this loud braggadocios pompous ass that’s mostly funding himself, knows & hates their shell game, and doesn’t give a rats ass about their private lil club that pads their & their handlers pockets at the expense of the masses (us).

    He’s truly risking his life by going against them all, both inside & outside the party. He’s even got foreign leaders who are part of that global cabal freaking out.
    We’ve not seen anything like this in history.
    It’s about time someone with enough backbone broke up & separates us from the ruling monarchy AGAIN!

    Now everyone can clearly see that he’s got them running like scared cockroaches when the lights come on to their game!

    The rigging, the delegate stealing, it should really be causing all of us to stand up and take notice. But few see it. They just go about their busy daily lives, that or keep buying into the controlled media narratives & lies!

    Hell, recently even the far left CNBC, MSNBC etc, had news anchors speaking with high ranking RNC committee members asking them why cancel the voters from casting votes in CO & other states.
    The response they got, was. The populist, the common voters doesn’t decide the Nominee, the party leaders do.
    The news girl then asked, then why have ‘primaries’, and the RNC member said, good question. There’s no need for them.
    Then the news anchor had that look like WTF??? Cue the Twilight Zone theme!

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      Yet the people that bitch about our govt continue to back them, because Trump said this about women, or foreign Muslims, or foreign Mexicans…

      The bottom line is Trump is trying to take the corruption out, break up the good ole boys club, and stop the contribution favors that we all hate. I don’t care about the little BS things that he does/says, because he’s just playing the get elected game, and it doesn’t have any baring on what he’s going to do once he’s in office.

    Coming from a Laker fan since 1976, I’m glad Kobe is done. He really Fuck them up this yr, like he has the past several. I looked at the box score last night in the 3rd qtr and he had 13-31 and 35 pts, and I thought that’s about what I expected, all of those shots, and very few baskets. Actually I look at shots to pts this way, take the free throws and divide by 2 (drop the remainder), so 8-11 would add 5 shots making the shots higher than the pts. Kobe was 22-50 10-12 FTs for 60 pts, so 56 shots 60 pts, a good night.

    Generally when someone has 50 pts they don’t take that many shots, but for Kobe it was a great night. I saw highlights of the game and there was plenty of matador defense going on by the Jazz, so the game was more of an exhibition than anything else. Just glad he’s gone.

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      The thing that pisses me off the most about Kobe is, the Lakers could’ve been decent this yr, if he had just played team ball. Stop taking all of those 3s, he’s still pretty good within 18′, and hit the open man, and stop worrying about how many pts you score/shots you take. He should’ve taken a page out of Tim Duncan’s book.

    Alright this troll is gone. This fucking sucks that every time I come on I am called a troll. Adios and suck my ass

    once again i never called you a troll. rather i said your comments about tanny were troll comments. now if you are serious about your comments and really mean them and they arent just to stir up shit then i apologize to you and feel really sorry for you if you actually believe them.

    i mean come on that comment this morning about drafting connor cook will make the oline better. i mean come on how much more stirring up the masses can you try and be

    They were talking about Kobe this morning about his 60 pt. game. Yeah, well he took 50 shots, so of course he’s gonna pour in a bunch of points. Big deal

    Dolphins start season on road in Seattle. Not easy at all.

    Mike,
    We started on the road @ Washington last year and that wasn’t easy either. It’s rarely easy with this team! I can think of two weeks last season that were easy.

    • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

      Well, it’s different when a game isn’t easy because of our own ineptitude, or because it’s a daunting task in a stadium where the home team rarely loses, and is a recent SB winner, but I hear ya.

    well who are the fins going to open against? I say bills

  61. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    steve,

    the way this team looked last year, they can start on the road at 31 teams and most likely end up 0-1

  62. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    We could lose to the Dolphins, as long as Tannehill is the QB on both teams. 🙂

  63. I’m a hater because I spend hours of my time looking at film of the offense and I post pictures and video of our qb taking at least 10 unnecessary sacks; not just going off on a wild tangent like some do and stating opinions without anything to back it up. Those pics and videos have been on Twitter for several days for all the Phins fans to see and nobody disputes what’s in them. A lot are avoiding the conversation but nobody is disputing it.
    If you want to see where someone is taking things to an extreme than look no further than a post on The Phinsider that says Tannehill had the most “non-qb” interceptions of any qb in the league last yr. That’s right. 8 of his 12 int’s weren’t his fault even though you can go back and look at the coaches film and see differently. But, you’ve really got to be swinging from Tannehill’s tallywacker to go thru the trouble of doing something like that; making up your own stat.

  64. Brian in NY's avatar Brian in NY says:

    @ Seattle then @ NE. Good luck!

  65. I look at it this way. The schedule is the schedule. You play the damn games and you play to win. Doesn’t matter where they are played or when they are played. If you’re a good team, you win them. If not, you’ll see that just as fast too.

  66. Brian in NY's avatar Brian in NY says:

    We end the season at home again against NE.

  67. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    mike

    the only time tanny can win a game is when it helps lower the fins draft picks. i did the research, and tanny is the worst qb in causing sacks in team history. i have gone back and watched every game of tanny’s career and used this program i wrote called omargism and i super imposes what the fins would be like with david garrad as qb and they would have won 3 super bowls by now if they had only let david start.

  68. Brian in NY's avatar Brian in NY says:

    We play Cleveland week 3 and @ CIN week four. We could very easily start the season 1-3.

    so you are saying there is still hope at the fins fucking up there 2017 draft position

    There’s the rub Lou; we aren’t a good team right now, and we are opening up AT two of the best teams in the league to start the season.

  71. Brian in NY's avatar Brian in NY says:

    With four games in a row @ home weeks 5,6,7, and 9, that looks like the games to choose for the 2016 Fest. All of the other home games seem to be around thanksgiving or Christmas, save for week 3 against Cleveland.

  72. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    lou,

    yes. to say he cause sacks but you never giving him any credit for escaping sacks makes you a hater. i dont even have to go back and look at film to know that at times he found away of escaping sacks, every qb does it now and then, but you dont care about that. only care about the way you can use what you want to back up what you want to think.

    nothing wrong with it but dont get mad when you are called a hater.

  73. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    If you know the schedule please post it.

  74. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    mean while 4 of the cheats 6 games are at home with one of the road games the browns.

    i dont even know why roger makes them play the regular season. just put them in the playoffs so espn can talk about other teams

  75. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    steve,

    i dont know the schedule but i can post the win loss record. hate to spoil it for you but they are 6-10

  76. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    See what happens with appeal
    But maybe atom Brady for out early game with cheats

  77. Brian in NY's avatar Brian in NY says:

    Rob,
    Ross actually requested to start the season on the road for the first few games to ensure the stadium improvements will be done.

    Home games are not so bad as a whole

    • Brian in NY's avatar Brian in NY says:

      division games are a toss up. Arizona and Pitt are going to be tough. 10/9 may be our best fest option if we want to see a win.

    Rob,
    Ross actually requested to start the season on the road for the first few games to ensure the stadium improvements will be done.

    did he have plans for mid season improvements too. just wondering or was the back to back west coast trips just in case there was some sort of plumbing problems

    • Brian in NY's avatar Brian in NY says:

      He actually requested that at least 2 out of the 3 west coast games be back to back. He got exactly what he asked for.

  81. Brian in NY's avatar Brian in NY says:

    Piggy,
    Looks like that 10/9-11/6 strecth would be best for the fest, no?

  82. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    I vote for the Steelers game. At least at the moment for the Fest game

  83. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    I just noticed bye is in week 8

    So there is that

  84. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    lmao looking at that schedule i can see 5-10 going into week 16. hmmmmm wonder what the outcome of that game would be

  85. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    bri,

    well damn. i mean if ross got all his request why didnt he just request all 16 games at home…….oh wait i know he is the worst owner in sports. ma bad

  86. Brian in NY's avatar Brian in NY says:

    Mike,
    My buddy wants to go to that game with me, although the Steelers game by far gives us the lowest chance of winning out of that stretch.

  87. Brian in NY's avatar Brian in NY says:

    Rob,
    My thinking is Ross just want’s the team to stay on the West coast for the ten days. You can’t ask for a closer road trip than SD to LA!

  88. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    bri

    maybe ross should have done what the pats did and only request 1 west coast game. if anyone thinks the nfl is still a fair and not a slanted organization just look at NE schedule. it is all just a big joke. just pencil them in at 14-2 or 13-3

    • Brian in NY's avatar Brian in NY says:

      I don’t know. Goddell and Kraft are at odds right now. They will finsih there because they are a very good team- I’m not into the conspiracy theory thing.

    Weeks 5-7 say “feat to me

    I think week 7 is my favorite

  90. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    well you can be the cheats and not get back to back west coast games

    I vote for the Steelers game.

    i vote that team isnt worth you all spending your money on it. besides now that you all owe me $4.23 for every post none of you can afford to go

  92. steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

    What I see wrong on the schedule is the first 2 games (Thanks Ross), and the week 4 at Cin. The week 4 game is fucked up. Playing a good team on the road on Thurs. is as close to an automatic loss as it gets. My problem with it is teams are supposed to alternate yr after yr home and away, and this will be our 3rd out of 4 yrs playing Thurs. on the road.

    • Brian in NY's avatar Brian in NY says:

    Opening weekend at 4 is kind of shitty too

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      It says 1:00 PM

    • Brian in NY's avatar Brian in NY says:

      Yeah, but it has to be that way. THe week 15 @ the Jets at 8:25pm doesn’t do us any favors.

      • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

        Yeah, it’s going to be cold. Ross and his stupid upgrades have the schedule FDup. Yeah, lets play the first 2 games on the road again, to make sure the stadium is ready, yet the preseason games will be playing a month before, and I’m sure the U will be playing there too in Aug/Sept.

    what odds???? nothing happened to tommy baby. and i am not into conspiracies either. it isnt a conspiracy with the nfl and the cheats it is fact. bush blowing up the wtc is a conspiracy the cheats getting favorable treatment is a fact

  95. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    lmfao. herman edwards was just going over the cheats schedule and predicting wins and losses. came to the last game of the season and the fucking idiot says. ‘miami dolphins can you finally beat the pats at home’ guess that fucking tool is not real informed.

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      Last yr didn’t count, because it was the last game of the season, and the only thing the cheats had to play for was home field advantage.

  96. finfanrob's avatar finfanrob says:

    April 14, 2016 at 8:51 pm

    They lost their 1st rounder this year

    hhhmmmm ok so let me see. if you cheat you are rewarded with a favorable schedule, favorable officiating and your only punishment is the league may every few years take away a 30th pick or so. yeah oh boyyyyyyy i bet the cheats are so afraid of big ole bad roger
