Miami Dolphins Sign C Jake Grove.

The Miami Dolphins just signed Jake Grove, who was a center from the Oakland Raiders. Well, at least there will be another Jake on the line. I think Grove will bring a veteran presence that will help the offensive line the Dolphins. He has started most of the games for Oakland. I am happy with the signing. He’s a former 2nd rounder and Grove will add depth to Miami’s line. According to the Sun Sentinel, “The Dolphins will likely have Satele continue to work at center, but, late last season, the coaches experimented with the two-year starter at guard, a position he played in college. His 32 consecutive starts could help him push Donald Thomas for the starting right guard spot.” “The Dolphins identified Grove as a player with the physicality needed to compete against division foes such as the New York Jets' Kris Jenkins, New England's Vince Wilfork and Buffalo's Marcus Stroud, three of the most physically imposing defensive tackles in the NFL.” This will be good if Grove can match up the AFC East’s big tackles. Satele was getting moved around pretty easily when facing big tackles.
