Opposing teams knew the Dolphins were going to run the ball but they couldn’t stop them because of their O-Line.  LT Jake Long is the anchor of the O-Line.  He is good at protecting the back of the QB and he’s also a very solid run blocker.  Donald Thomas and Nate Garner will likely duke it out for the starting job at RG and they are both solid players.  Center Jake Grove is a tone setter in the middle of the field for the Dolphins as he is a outstanding run blocker.  Rookie 3rd round pick John Jerry out of Mississippi will battle veteran Richie Incognito for the starting job at RG.  Incognito is a nasty ballplayer and he’s one of my personal favorites.  RT will belong to Vernon Carey who is a great athlete for a man his size.  He’s good at both run and pass blocking.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE DOLPHINS O-LINE in 2010:  B+
