Is Dolphins' offensive line a concern?
5h
With that in mind, let's open the Twitter mailbag to see what is on the mind of Dolphins fans:
James Walker: Good question. Let me first say that offensive and defensive lines are the hardest to evaluate this time of year. It's football without pads and the contact is restricted. So I pay more attention to technique, leverage and footwork in the trenches. With that said, the defensive line pretty much had its way with the offensive line in organized team activities and minicamp. I expect much of the same in training camp, and that is a concern for Miami. The Dolphins' offensive line will continue to have trouble getting in synch with starting left tackle Branden Albert (knee) rehabbing and a lot of shuffling at guard.
Walker: Tempo is something a lot of coaches talk about, but not everyone really follows. The Dolphins will not be a high-speed, no-huddle offense. That's not their style and quarterback Ryan Tannehill has never had that level of freedom to call his own plays. The Dolphins want to be better in the red zone. They want to be crisp in and out of the huddle. They want to get lined up correctly and not have mental mistakes. They want their receivers to run the correct depth and routes. They want their offensive line to avoid false start penalties or negative plays. That's been more of the discussion this offseason than speeding things up.
Walker: To remind our readers, Pro Football Focus rated the Dolphins as the worst roster in the AFC East. Naturally, that drew a lot of ire from Miami fans who voiced their displeasure in the blog and on social media. I don't agree with PFF, mainly because I give the quarterback position a lot of weight. Tannehill gives the Dolphins stability and peace of mind there. The New York Jets and Buffalo Bills have such huge voids at the position. Miami also has talent at other positions as well, such as the defensive line, center, cornerback, left tackle, receiver, tight end and a 1,000-yard running back.
Thanks for the quality questions, Dolphins fans. If you have additional questions, comments or concerns, feel free to reach me via Twitter @JamesWalkerNFL.

They should be tough against the run.
The question now is if the defensive backs can deliver turnovers and if Tannehill can throw the football with accuracy down the field. It certainly looks like Tannehill is going to have the tools to do it.
I'm not sure about Lamar Miller though. I think he's a fine runner but a good number of the most successful teams lately have RBs that catch the ball well out of the backfield. Lamar caught 38 balls but scored on just 1 of them. It's not bad, but I think Miami is predictable with him in the game near the goal line.
