    Didn't we protect with tight ends last season as much as about any other team?

    Does the line look improved to you?

    There must be some move coming up.

    We are not leaving our best player on O in to block.

    What the heck happened?

    Maybe we're about to see a completely new offensive play style from this team that we've never seen them do before.

    I mean, it happened once before. Could happen again.

    While that is exciting, I'm not exactly confident in our ability to protect without help. Other teams can do it. Maybe we can. Maybe the line was told to suck on purpose in preseason.

    As fans, our only option is to sit back and hope the men in charge of our team know what they're doing. (that or ***** and moan that they don't know what they're doing, but in the end, that accomplishes nothing too)

    I have to believe that with Marshall we're going to start passing more. Quicker passes with more opportunity for the wr's to do something with. That changeup should lead to quicker drops for Henne, more options to throw to, and most importantly, less time to worry about the pocket collapsing.

    We'll see.

    while its tough to imagine at this point considering what we saw in the preseason, I have a hard time conceptualizing how this oline wont be better than last year's...They had the same players from last year but chose to change 3/5ths of the unit, they cant be stupid, they must see upgrades at 3 positions.

    Haynos going down and DMart's knees being shot were unexpected.

    The question then becomes, now what? I thought we might keep Lumbala as a H-Back, that didn't happen, now protection schemes are looking shady.

    Last yr, right around this time, DMart was cut and the offense never recovered imho, this yr Haynos and DMart are gone..now what?

    Claim Kory Sperry and a blocking FB/TE like Frank Summers? Even then he would be weeks behind in learning the protection scheme.

    The 2010 Dolphins are in a tight spot unless Nalbone is some hidden gem that no one saw coming.

    Just agent talk, but Dmart is 100% healthy according to what I read a few hours ago. We just might be in a pickle

    If you were hinting an offense like we saw our last game against the Patriots, I'm afraid I just blew a load.

    Don't think that kind of failure is ever an option.

    lol i honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm. I know we won the game but Idk if we did anything special to do it. I do remember that being one of Hennes best performances last season..

    I'm all for 3-4 receiver sets and a getting the ball out quicker style of offense.

    Less people in the box too for Ricky and Ronnie if we do run up the middle.

    All they have to accomplish is protection against the Bills. This group is overrated and needs to focus on their immediate opponent.
