Not only is this potentially the best offense we've fielded in years, it's a unit loaded with youth. These guys should be together for a long, long time.
Let's start a dynasty.

Believe it or not, unless they make another move, I see Dallas Thomas starting at left guard.
Someone really went to bat for him behind closed doors, probably making the case that his time at right tackle doesn't count because that's not his side nor is it his natural position.Dolphinzdawgg, zwave21, Fin4Ever and 1 other person like this. -

Not sure I buy what Philbin is selling either about how Billy Turner is a right guard because he likes how Billy looks in his stance on the right side better than the left, whatever the **** that is supposed to mean. I think by now we've seen that Joe Philbin is not qualified to make those calls.

Obviously if the running game is clicking, that mitigates that issue some, but I feel like that could be an issue early on. Maybe it's just me, but having so many new components with Stills, Parker, Jennings, Cameron, and even Ajayi to an extent as a probable receiver out of the backfield just strikes me as the offense having issues early on. -

Still worried about OL.

LT... Albert could be another injury waiting to happen. Maybe not ready (althought it sounds as if he will be), but lets face it, he's coming back from knee surgery.
LG... If it's Dallas Thomas, we should all be concerned. If it's Jamil Douglas... equally concerned since we really dont know anything about him in the pros... at this point.
C... Well we know Pouncey is good, and back at his natural position.
RG... Billy Turner... Again, we don't know how he's going to perform here. There's no track record against this level of talent. So, it's unknown.
RT... James should be more than sufficient here.
Depth... It's far better than last year IMO. That's the good news. But lets face it, there's nobody really that's a proven guy there either.
The OL is still a big unknown, and weak spot IMO until it proves itself otherwise. -
I look at the offense and I see a very young and promising group. Outside of the big question at OG, the rest of the offense has talent and talent to back it up as well.
Injury concerns with Jordan Cameron, well thankfully we have Sims, while he isn't that type of threat he is more than serviceable in a emergency situation.
Miller goes does down we have Ajayi.
At WR we can go 4 to 5 deep with interchangeable parts.
If Tannehill goes does we still have Moore who has played while not nearly as good he is a very solid backup.
Biggest concern is OL. If Albert were to go down again I am much more on board with Fox filling LT and James staying put at RT. I do think James and Turner with a year of NFL weight training under their belt will be much stronger especially in the run game. -

There are no "Easy schedules" in the NFL, especially considering we're talking about a consistently 8-8 Miami Dolphins team. -
Don't you think we have a greater chance of beating these teams out the gate than, say, if we played the Ravens and Colts? I know I do. -
definitely true on the "translation" risk. I guess I'm looking at this offense that their biggest need this offseason was guys who can be redzone threats, of which we had zero last season, especially C Clay. I think this team already had the system to move the ball consistently down the field, but unable to convert near the end zone and I think the stats back that up. If Parker and Cameron can make a difference there we can win a couple more games this year IMO. But like others have said, Cameron has to stay healthy to give us more than one option in the redzone. -
Jaguars, I am a little more optimistic about, (I'll be there) but their defense is good, and our offense will still be gelling. All I am saying is, don't put the carriage in front of the horse.
