The real issue: Replacing Richie and Martin

clabo stays I think. maybe dallas thomas sees the field, I don't know.

Use Garner, Clabo, and Yeatman where you did on Thursday. It seemed to work.

What's Vernon Carey up to these days?

Last I heard he was training with Damion McIntosh. Could maybe give him a call too.

Yeah, Yeatman at TE or OT eligible seemed to give the running game a shot in the arm, I liked it. Maybe he'll catch a pass next week.

Yeatman played !? Sorry, I was at the Game so I totally missed that !
Chances are still that through all this, our line will be improved upon from the first half. Getting young players some time is a bonus.

I was not impressed with Dallas Thomas one bit in preseason. Seemed very stiff, slow, and often off-balanced. While I understand the tackle position is a difficult one to master, I do hope he is progressing.

Garner will handle it man.

Right approach Phinsanity, this is really all that matters to me in the 2013 Dolphins season.

Nate Garner is sliding into Left Guard, a move that I like as Richie for all of this was among one of the worst Guards in the league in terms of surrendering sacks, problem is Nate is not really athletic, he hustles and is a good player, and should do fine though.

Clabo stays at RT, this is the one area that I'm concerned about, he looked good v Cinci, perhaps looking at the career abyss kick started him? Perhaps running the ball more covers his limited skillset.

Still, Yeatman had better be ready to play, and with Garner going to LG, Yeatman takes his old role, which means Thomas or Watkins then fills in for Yeatman's role.

One downside is Richie was telling McKinnie what his responsibility was on a given play. Via Sun Sentinnel:

Actual, decent, coverage of the team..good stuff really, Garner played some LG in 2011

400 plus?

Martin didn't play in the last game and Incognito was injured for the majority of the game. The OL played perhaps their best game of the season in regards to running the ball and the pass protection appeared to be decent for the most part. This team probably isn't going to finish any better than 8-8, so it is probably good that the younger players can get on the field and show if they can play in the NFL or not.

We need to see what they have to offer for the future. Because if they aren't the long term answer, every position on the OL except center, will have to be upgraded before this team can ever hope to be a legitimate playoff team.

The real issue: Replacing richie and weirdo

I know the football fans are out there, waiting out this storm, anxious to see how this season plays out, starting in one week.

To them it may have occurred that the players gone will have to be replaced........in an effort to win more games, not tank in favor of getting a sexy new scapegoat to rag on.

Are we stuck with Clabo at right tackle ? Who is going to play LG ? This is much more important to me than who called who a what, and mommies and daddies out for vengeance.

Mckinnie looks much like the guy who played a major role in turning around the ravens season 11 months ago. So that's a nice upgrade from Martin obviously. We are a much better team for that move IMO. If only we had another option at RT if Clabo can't get it together. Care to try Jerry there again ? I was hoping with Dallas Thomas we could be in a position to cut Richie before the season and save some dough.... is he at all ready, or is Watkins the front runner ? I hear Garner is more of a versatile depth piece than someone who'll actually outperform another at one position.

The state of Florida is serving you with notice that you are being sued for slander by Martin, Martin and Martin for your thread title's use of the pejorative "wierdo".

That line nailed it. After a win they scatter like roaches when the lights flip on.

Assault with a deadly adjective..... Intent to kill......... Your feelings.

Ballbusting will never be the same.

We may see a lot more of two TE sets to help blocking. Hopefully Tanny can still spread the ball around.

You have strong candidates for both the worst post in ThePhins history and the accidental funniest.

Going to be a pretty boring draft. Need two tackles, two guards...and hate to remind everyone there's that little subpoena deal in the works with our pro bowl caliber center on account of the suspicion of aiding an alleged murderer in interstate gun trafficking. Oh and also he was likely complicit if not active in the effort to "toughen up" Jonathan Martin.
