I'm going to be the odd man out here but whatever. 

You get rid of him. He's already older than Kawaan short when he started falling apart.

He's a fan favorite and this franchise has the worst luck with resigning guys like this and then they ride IR for 2-3 years. If he was 3 years younger than sure. Realistically, he probably only has 1-2 good years left before he starts to decline. 

Put Christensen there, or slide Ekwonu over and draft a real LT not an overrated Guard.

We need to do him like the Chargers did Okung. They were about the same age btw.

You can probably ride with his contract into next year but, I would bail after that.

I agree.  I think Belicheick or someone said you cut players a year early. Meaning you don't wait until they start to decline. 1 you get pieces if you trade or two you don't have pay out the wazzoo and then regret once Father Time comes knocking.  It's a cold business

Can't argue with you much on this. I've been banging the drum for years now that we need to take a center in the draft, and I have said grab the best one available, first or second rounds. I know, they say you never take them in the first, but the best O-lines in the league generally have a guy they grabbed there or the second. I'm not sold that we can't do better at center than we have now, although things have been better.

And yeah, I see about two more years for Moton after this one and Icky will be looking for money. Icky still needs to improve, though. He's getting better with good guard help and experience, but he's still not in the top half of the LTs starting in the league. 

Center is a very underrated position.

Has the ball on every offensive snap. 

Calls line protection schemes and adjustments.

Often squares up against the biggest man on defense.

On running plays is often tasked with making second level hits.

Sometimes wears a bear costume and buys ads in the local paper declaring this will be a playoff year.

Sorry, kinda missing Ryan Kalil there.

We went from Mitchell to Kalil and I think a lot of fans took the position for granted.

      Chances against the Cowboys

      We could have our best overall game as a unit and we'd still lose because any long time fan knows how the refs tend to screw us over the most when it's the Cowchickens.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Half our drives were for less than 30 yards, I guess I just don't see it the same way you do. Having 8 carries over 5 yards (and only 6 over 10 yards) out of 23 isn't exactly like we were taking advantage of a team that couldn't stop a team running to the right with smart play calling to rip off chunks of yards on a constant basis. Which also is kinda my point... if the Dolphins were really having THAT much trouble stopping runs to the right, a better play caller and play designer should have been able to get us more than 8 runs (and only 7 in that direction) of more than 5 yards.  It's that Dowdle deserves the credit for breaking off those bigger runs, NOT Canales and his play calling. My problem is with Canales' play calling from opening kick to final whistle on the whole, not a few selected plays where the player broke tackles and made great plays.

      With Coker I think we can beat him. Not sure otherwise, offense isn't explosive enough.
