Re: Game Thread Dolphins @ Ravens Home Opener 9/18
I think it's pretty unfair to blame the lack of a running game on Powers and Linderbaum. We had an entire sample size last year of the running game doing nothing and Powers/Linderbaum weren't on the field. The offensive line wasn't great last year, but the scheme is good enough to overcome medicore linemen (and Linderbaum is not mediocre) if you have competent backs.
We're trotting out backs who no one else wants and who are learning the playbook during the season. Not only is Drake not a lead back at this point--he has never been a lead back. Neither has Davis.
Dobbins coming back will change a lot.

Re: Game Thread Dolphins @ Ravens Home Opener 9/18
Its an objective fact that run blocking assignments were missed and Quinnen Williams was a monster that day (92 PFF grade) Linderbaum still won 1 on 1 with Q.Williams some plays and lost others, Powers the same. Im not trying to blame anybody. They didnt even play badly.
Im saying that the run game was a myriad of issues some may have had to do with lack of preseason and having guys shuffling spots on the OL but yes JK does hide more mistakes than Kenyon Drake does for sure.Mike MacDonald should be our head coach next season
If Youre gonna say I said something, Quote me cause yall be lying.

Re: Game Thread Dolphins @ Ravens Home Opener 9/18
Sure that's fair. I think Linderbaum getting some seasoning and Cleveland coming in for Powers will elevate this line, and that's not even mentioning Ronnie.
But even with those improvements, nothing is going to overcome the backs we've had for the past two years.
Football nerds love to talk about how fungible running backs are, but we're a cautionary tale that shows their enduring value. This offense looks completely different with a healthy Dobbins/Gus.
