I think the Dolphins should seriously consider this approach to the OL this upcoming year. I sure hope they aren't counting on Austin Jackson at RT as he is backup material.

Robert Hunt can be a Top-12 right guard in the NFL. But what if Hunt is more valuable to the Dolphins as a Top-20 right tackle? That is, after all, Tua's blind side.

Hunt can play both. Perhaps the biggest reason he settled in at right guard is because Miami really, really wanted to see former first-rounder Austin Jackson succeed at a tackle spot. And after left tackle didn't pan out, well, right tackle it was for AJ.

But it's a lot easier to fill a guard spot than a tackle spot. And tackle is clearly the more premier and significant position.

Hunt can play tackle. The Dolphins have to seriously consider that he could be an excellent bookend for Terron Armstead. Unless they just really want to give Jackson another shot. And they really do obviously love Hunt's size, power and athleticism at guard.

But what we saw from Robert Jones and Robert Hunt on the right side on Sunday? Jones, who had been solid overall at left guard earlier this year, did have two false starts. But overall, Jones-Hunt was not bad.

Austin Jackson has been a disaster.

My biggest beef with Hunt is he is good for a false start penalty a game.

Might be better to move Hunt outside and try Jackson at RG and not have him playing in space too much.

Hunt at RT seems a good choice … Jackson simply stinks at tackle. Jackson as a guard might work, although isn’t he still required to move and think a little more in our zone blocking scheme vice putting a hat on a hat?

I endorse the move. Jackson can be a backup left tackle to Armstead while Miami seeks out an eventual replacement.

There are some good interior OL prospects to be had in Rounds 2 and 3 of this draft. Yeah I know we've seen our share of those guys go bust in Miami, but you have to keep swinging. They did find Robert Hunt in the draft.

Am I remembering wrong? Wasn't Jackson playing well and getting praise from the staff prior to his injury this yr? Been awhile, so I could be incorrect.
