"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

With this OLine and running backs?

The oline gets fixed, and the running backs are taken care of simultaneously. Need push and holes and creases and traps and pulls. That's all.

You like our depth at rb? I don't and it would take a huge upgrade at Oline to compensate for that.

We are not a consistent playoff team the last 4 yrs due to 3 things:
-avg Qb play
-roster lacks experience throughout
-Rookies rarely being impact players/ game changers
cdz12250SupporterNo, but to paraphrase Freewheelin' Franklin Freak, good linemen will get you through times of bad backs better than good backs will get you through times of bad linemen.
DisgustipateSupporterThis team is a probable playoff team with better coaching and luck.

You mean Andrew Luck?
OnehondoSupporterThe Dolphins need better coaching, an offensive line, a better General Manager, an offensive line, another running back, an offensive line. Oh did I mention they need an offensive line?
vt_dolfanSupporterYou know..its easy to say
.new GM..new oline.
But you want my honest opinion. Every single one of those guys are NFL players. It means..they are the best of the best. The elite. They didn't make it this far and not be.
What are we missing? Confidence. Thats all we need to go on a roll. You don't dominate some of the best teams in the NFL for at least a half..if you don't have enough talent. We have done that all season long. We just nees to taste blood..to know what it feels like when your opponent finally relents..and capitulates, knowing they are a beaten foe. Thats what we have been missing for years. Hopefully this Sunday..they get a taste.

Nope, we'd be in the same situation with him for all the fawning and adulation that goes on.

CitizenSnipsNew MemberDon't blow the bills and ravens games and this team IS a playoff team. Don't blow the new england game and we might even be in the hunt for division crown. This roster is actually playoff worthy with the exception of the oline, we just blew all our chances. just the bills and ravens games alone would have put us at 7-4 right now and controlling the 6th seed with an iron fist. Suddenly we'd have a reason to watch every chiefs game to see if they slide further.
Yeah we need a better oline, but you have to blame coaching for our current position. We should not only be a playoff team, but maybe even a top 4 seed if we just capitalized on our opportunities this year.
Contrary to popular belief, this team ain't bad. we just don't know how to be good..
DestroyerForum VeteranO line and Dimitri Patterson to stay healthy.
The Dolphins are the softest team in the NFL. Tua hater starting 12/11/22.

well said. we're a competent coaching staff away from a 5th or 6th seed. i could not agree more.

I agree the OL is the major problem on this team. Yet I still don't think the RB's on this team are good enough to provide a consistent running game, even with a decent OL. Miller just isn't tough enough to break tackles and he just doesn't have a lot of moves to get past tacklers. I think he is a good change of pace type back, but he just isn't a #1 running back.
Thomas shows up and runs okay for a few games each year, but can't seem to stay healthy for an entire season. He has been here three years and has been hurt and missed games everyone of those seasons. He needs to be replaced before next season begins.
I guess with Thomas out for probably the rest of this season, we will find out if there are any other backs on the roster who can step up and show they deserve to be on the roster next season.
