Film Breakdown: Why the Miami Dolphins Run Game is STRUGGLING so much

[@SirDupree]

As a Miami Dolphin fan, I will celebrate with Liam Eichenberg is off the team.

[@kevinbair6310]

Liam has heart but a backup at best.

[@Shawnpee3496]

74 has none of those traits. He’s the worst guard I’ve ever seen.

[@samvelez5549]

How can we all see how bad the two guards and T.E. Hill are, and Greer not make any changes. He is either extremely arrogant wanting his picks to work out or he's not understanding football matchups!

[@redspartanred]

Every year, it’s the same tired argument for us Dolphins fans. In 2021, no offensive line. In 2022, still no offensive line. By 2023, the refrain was, “We need a better offensive line.” And now, here we are in 2024, saying the exact same thing: our O-line just isn’t good enough. The injury excuse only carries so much weight-it’s worn thin. Unless drastic changes are made after this season, it’s clear management will never take meaningful steps to address this glaring issue. Love your content by the way, keep up the great work.

[@ampinghard111]

Absolutely… had Tua not missed those 4 games, they win at least 3 of the 4 FOR SURE, and most likely the AZ game when you consider the muffed snap (from being rusty) leading to a safety in a game loss by 1… they’d be a sure fire playoff team… but they’d end up losing in the wildcard round anyway cause the only way to get by with a bad offensive line is to have a top 3 defense… and this line is worse than bad… the packers made MIAs line look like children in the trenches. The way Lam and Liam were getting man handled instantly made them look like highschool players…

[@davidjoseph9314]

This why I believe Grier needs to go, I don't care if you playing madden backyard football or in the NFL the team that win always have good trench play. That why I thought signing Odell was stupid. If you want to see Tua flourishes give him one more good TE, trade Tyreek somehow. Spend the money on 2 good oline.

[@tiaaug283]

They need to upgrade the whole O-line…the packers rushed 3 and still sacked Tua…that alone is ridiculous…the O-line is ranked one of the worst in the NFL…the dolphins will never be successful against good teams with this O-line…Grier needs to get that through his thick skull or maybe it’s to late for him…he might be gone at the end of the season…

[@trollwayy5981]

We need a good left guard and a right tackle that can run block well. Let one of the guards keep their spot

[@tiaaug283]

@ you need to get cut along with Armstead…they just need to fire everybody who has a hand in this O-line group…and start looking for the best O-line coaches in the league

[@trollwayy5981]

@@tiaaug283 you’re crazy, aaron brewer has been a dog this year, keep armstead if he’ll come back for a paycut and austin was doing decent as shown by the lack of run game since he’s been out

[@BRKII]

@@trollwayy5981 Aaron brewer isn't good against average DT. He has no push.

[@derrick211000]

10K is nice. Well deserved!

[@rodnicker]

We had a right guard and his name was Robert Hunt. The organization could have extended a contract to him before letting him become a free agent and get the ridiculous contract the Panthers gave him that the Dolphins could not match. Hunt was just a guy the team drafted and could have invested in him for the future, but we signed Wynn instead.

[@rydermcconville]

To be fair we don't know if they offered Hunt beforehand. He could've declined and knew he would make more money in free agency. The real problem was not replacing him.

[@rodnicker]

@@rydermcconville Fair enough. Do you think putting a Franchise Tag on him would have been the right or wrong thing to do?

[@dmark_23]

Love hunt but I wouldn’t have given him that contract the panthers gave him

[@youngman44]

@@rydermcconvilleagreed. It’s possible they could have extended him extra early (during year 3). Seems like by the end of year 2 we knew what he was. But good stuff over all. Thanks for your excellent work.

[@derrick211000]

Your coverage is so thorough. Love it!

[@nicholaspini3665]

What’s so frustrating is that they can build around the solid center and tackles, JUST ONE GOOD GUARD and the o line would be decent to good. But since BOTH are nothing special we end up having crap

[@robperri3491]

Ryder, Great analysis! Love your insights on these guys. Can you analysis the following guards for us viewers? These guys have equally strong run and pass blocking grades...Addison West from West Michigan, Drew Moss from Colorado state, Tyler Voltin from Oregon State, Caleb Thomas from Tulane?

[@rydermcconville]

I will get to draft prospects pretty soon and will try to get to players people recommend if I have the film on them.

[@robperri3491]

Willie Lampkin from North Carolina is also interesting.

[@dmark_23]

If McDaniel is any type of a good coach he needs to make changes to the offensive line this week

[@dmark_23]

8:10 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@dmark_23]

How can we see this but McDaniel and Grier can’t both guards need to be benched

[@BRKII]

This OL wasn't good when we had Conner Williams & Hunt. Both positions needed to addressed. We need 2 quality interior OL. If Terrell Armstead comes back next year I would play Patrick Paul at LG and have the drafted C & RG with with Jackson at RT. If Grier doesn't address this OL he needs to go!

[@javonthermidor2335]

Tua should keep the ball and roll out. Every time I see outside zone, tua has so much field. They need to show run to the strong side and run it weak side. That’ll confuse defenses and it’ll open up the passing game more

[@iafigueroa91]

Naked bootleg you mean? Yeah, I hear ya, but it can be risky, given his concussion issues and other health concerns. As long as he slides, he should be fine.

[@garysmith1571]

We complained about needed more O line help, Grier said nah, we got this, don't be silly....

[@BRKII]

'Comfortable' was the word he use to describe the offensive line.

[@daman9780]

NO LOSING CONNOR WILLIAMS AND ROBERT HUNT IS HURTING THE MIAMI DOLPHINS ALONG WITH JACKSON AND MIAMI'S TOP BRASS DID NOT GET ANY REPLACEMENTS THAT ARE WORTHY OF ANYTHING......IF YOU DONT HAVE A GOOD O-LINE YOU DONT HAVE A QB AND NO RUNNING GAME.....ITS PRETTY EASY TO UNDERSTAND UNLESS YOUR MIAMI BRASS

[@ThatFalloutGod]

Brewer's fine, everyone else keeps getting fucking blurred every snap? Including Mr Glass. It's almost like we were always correct on this unit being awful.

[@walidhannaoui1802]

Eichenburg is pathetic I’m sorry. I do not believe that Wynn can be any worse than him and I have zero understanding as to why he’s kept his job now that Wynn is active. Rob Jones may not be great in space but at least he can at least hold his ground

[@MrJimbarron]

The OL DA

[@HaryHary-p8j]

Wasn't Jillian hill good at a Certain point

[@joefried6604]

We need 2 ELITE Guards next season We need Patrick Paul to step UP The RUN will bring back the deep ball ! It will protect TUA NO CHOICE

[@scotty9776]

Eichenberg and Lamm might be the worst right side in the NFL. As bad as this was to watch, the play where Smythe and Jhill missed..... I am still laughing

[@rydermcconville]

I had gotten that clip with Smythe and Hill a few days ago so rewatching it during the video had me dying cuz I forgot about it

[@dmark_23]

Liam Eichenburg is a liability

[@luattran6205]

Ummm ez they don't have a OL simple

[@mikerios6754]

Bro eichenberg is AWFUL

[@alexsmash5316]

Good god Eichenberg is terrible. He’s just a body. Needs to be gone from the team.
