Miami Dolphins tackle Terron Armstead said the offensive line can be a weapon for the team, the same way as the skill position players
The topic of offensive weapons came up during Miami Dolphins tackle Terron Armstead's post-practice media session Thursday, and the four-time Pro Bowl selection wanted to make sure his position group wasn't left out.
But the simple question here is whether the Dolphins offensive line can be effective or even good. Becoming "a weapon" seems a tad unrealistic, particularly when you consider four national media outlets ranked NFL offensive lines this summer and the Dolphins didn't fare better than 18th in any of them.
Again according to PFF, the Dolphins ranked 16th in pass blocking grade and 18th in run blocking grade. Maybe a better barometer would be pressure rate, where the Dolphins ranked fourth in the NFL with pressure allowed on 15.8 percent of pass attempts . The Dolphins also were tied for fourth in the NFL in rushing yards before contact at 2.8.So statistically the Dolphins offensive line was more than serviceable in 2023.
"I think it’s just being smart as far as everything that we can do in a preventative aspect, but football is football," Armstead said. So the offensive line that takes the field against Washington on Saturday likely will look a lot different than the one the Dolphins end up using for most of 2024.
