Remember the days when fans and reporters were very skeptical about Miami's offensive line? It felt like a was weak link that past four years, even when Vernon Carey was drafted as a first round pick. If only Culpepper had a line that protected him..remember those days? I believe those days are gone. The pick of Jake Long should be a sign to fans and the franchise that a great offensive line is a major part of team success. Long played well as rookie allowing two sacks and is heading to the Pro bowl as an alternate. an article in the Sun-Sentinel had said the re-signing Carey is part the Trifecta's plan. Justin Smiley played well until his injury. I think we would all like to see what Donald Thomas can do. If he lives up to starter material, this OL can be a big threat to opponents. Look for the run game out of the base offense to open up in 2009. Ireland and Sparano will still be looking at OL in the draft and free agency. 2009 will be a good measuring point to see what this line will be for years to come if healthy.
