http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolphins_in_depth/2012/08/jake-long-leaves-practice-with-injury.html Well this ain't good news.
Jake Long goes down at practice... Read more here: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolphins_in_depth/#storylink=cpy#storylink=cpy
When Jake Long left bubble with trainers because of his knee injury Jonathan Martin lined up at LT, Artis Hicks at RT and John Jerry at RG.
It's going to be one interesting season...good news never seems to stop coming for the Miami Dolphins.
LOL Now we can see how fast Tannehill can run. As a side note at least we don't have to worry about the Colts tanking the season for Barkley. Well now Martin can go back to his normal position and with Carey at RT we will survive. Oh wait...........
Maybe not that. But rather a #1 overall pick that we can trade away for a king's ransom thread should come along any time now.
Without Jake Long, that is going to a very real scenario. I don't even want to think about our rookie QB having to play behind this line if it's serious. This sucks. Not only for the team, but mostly for Jake Long. This is 3 years now that he'll be playing with various injuries. He's starting to get an injury prone label, and I'm just not sure how much the team can afford to pay him if he's always going to be injured. This really sucks.
On the bright side (I"m trying), watch Will Yeatman at LT in the Cowboys game on Wednesday and tell me he's not better in pass protection than Mr. Martin (or any other tackle we've had on the roster not named Jake Long the last 3 years).
I'm laughing at all the gloom and doom. We don't even know what happened yet. Long didn't even play that well last year. Now don't get me wrong, we are better with him. Lets see what the injury is before we start jumping off bridges.
Love Jake but in all honestly ? He played like shiiiiit Friday night. Did not play much better the week before. The better DEs are flying by him and his drive blocking inside has completely disapeared. I am guessing the surgeries he has had are taking their tolls. Yeah he said he felt great, best ever, when he was in OTAs but since the live hitting has been happening, this is not the Jake Long we have all seen. Good reason to not and run and resign this man for as much money as some think he should get. Not an Ireland basher nor an Ireland flag waiver but I do agree, let Jake play this season and lets see what he has before we throw enough money to buy a small central american country at him.
Well, if they were working on the area between the knee and ankle, that would be the tibia or fibula. Best one could hope for is just a bruise.
I was hoping he'd get the start at LT, but with the Long injury, if he's out for any amount of time I suspect they'll put Martin there for some reps against the Cowboys.

would be a interesting debate what to do with 1st pick in the draft next year if our season somehow got that bad. Trade down and maybe miss an elite player or maybe Tannehill has a really bad year do they then draft a qb sigh could see all kind of madness in the offseason.
Jake Long is so over rated. Often injured and often beaten by speed rushers. I understand people have it in their minds he is such a great player but when he is on the field he gets burned a lot. What good is the guy if he is injured. I'm starting to lose faith quickly in Jake long.
Well let's not write him off yet. May be nothing serious but if it is, doesn't bode well in his contract year.
I see them bringing in Jason Slowey he was a LT in college but he is the type of o line man that Philbin likes.
I know you posted a video, but for some reason when I use a Mozilla browser I can't see them. If I use Chrome I can, but then on some threads I get that damned 502 Bad Gateway message and cannot see the threads at all. Very frustrating.
The good news is when we have the barkley pick we can trade back and get more assets then even the rams got for rg3, bad news is ireland may be the one to make the picks.
I have never had issues with Chrome here. Did you try clearing your cookies and all that goodness? (stop going on pron sites)
It's recent, like the last 2-3 weeks and it is hit and miss as for which threads. Yes, I cleared my cache, browsing history, ran my anti-malware program, and nothing helped. The other weird thing is how videos do not appear when posted here, if I use Mozilla. Also youtube videos just do not play on Mozilla and I have all the same add-ons and plug-ins as I do anywhere else. Right now, I'm using IE, but I don't like how the spell check works on IE. Things were perfect when I could use Chrome.
Well, one positive is mr. Clean's new sig girl. I'm finding it really hard to be upset about anything in this thread
