Let's be COMPLETELY honest- Bush also has over 300 receiving yards and is just a hair under 1000 yards from scrimmage already. He's still miles ahead of any RB on Miami's roster, and his pass blocking is sorely missed. -EK

Miller can't also call the plays that call for him to be thrown the ball Roll Eyes

Miami's RB's are pass blocking fine this year as well. Not sure what that is about

The first thing that apparently needs to be changed in Miami is the party culture on this football team.   That said, the team does NOT need a complete overhaul. 

The offensive line needs a complete overhaul.
The middle of the defensive line probably needs a complete overhaul.   

The secondary actually isn't playing that bad.
The linebackers are playing alright but they're a function of the problems on the defensive line up the middle.  The less you can stop the run, the more you gotta commit linebackers to the line of scrimmage.  And that line can't stop the run for shit.  You could have driven trucks through some of those holes last night, and all Tampa was doing was running a basic power play.  Over and over and over and over.

I don't think we need an overhaul at receiver/TE.  Clay played like shit last night but he's pretty solid normally and he's done a decent job of filling the void when Keller got hurt.  Matthews stepped up into the slot when Gibson went down, they're both solid.  Hartline isn't spectacular but he's doing a decent job.  We can argue whether he's worth what they're paying him.  Wallace I'm not sure what the hell to do with.  Part of me thinks we should get rid of him part of me thinks as long as Tannehill is getting hammered in the pocket like he is, it's not going to matter.

Running back we should keep Thigpen and Miller and get rid of Daniel Thomas.  You can get the same production out of a rookie that we get out of Thomas and I don't see what he adds to the offense that can't be found elsewhere. 

None of this shit matters though if you can't keep Tannehill upright.  Pouncey is the only guy I'd keep out of all of them and then if you need Gardner to stay on as a backup.  We need new Guards and new Tackles.

Dolphins need an O-line before anyone else ... including Wallace, can be evaluated. I laugh when I read about Tannehill not going through progressions. When does he have time?  They also need to play Moore so that Tannehill will live to see next year (Joke).

Most of us knew the O-line would be our undoing this season but who would have ever thought they would have brought down the whole freaking franchise?  Shocked

Getting offended by something you see on the internet is like choosing to step in dog shite instead of walking around it.

I have to admit I have a knee jerk reaction when I watch Tannehill play and makes a bad throw. I admit I'm guilty of this alot.  But you're right, the OL needs to be fixed before we can truly determine if he's not the answer, as much as I hate to say it.  He does have an arm, stands big in the pocket, but his lack of line protection doesn't allow for him to always make the best read/decision.

The line on both sides of the ball allows for others on the team, LB, safeties (defensive side) and QB, playmakers (offensive side) to shine. Right now, the OL is bad, if not horrific, and this causes alot of problems.
