The Miami Dolphins' offensive line performed well during training camp, excelling in both run blocking and pass protection despite limited depth. Right tackle Austin Jackson successfully prevented edge rusher Chop Robinson from sacking the quarterback, demonstrating effective technique. The line also facilitated significant running plays, allowing various running backs to make substantial gains. This marked a positive shift for a unit that has often been criticized, highlighting their potential to support quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and contribute to the offense's success.
Dolphins edge rusher Chop Robinson, using his lightning-quick first step, burst off the line of scrimmage and was making a beeline straight toward the quarterback halfway through Saturday's fourth training camp practice.
That's when right tackle Austin Jackson, without breaking a sweat, calmly used his feet to position his body and then used his hands to aggressively jab Robinson to the outside, eliminating the possibility of a sack.
The offensive line, whose main job is keeping quarterback Tua Tagovailoa upright, was similarly effective Saturday in run blocking.
They cleared the way for numerous big runs from running backs ranging from De'Von Achane to Jaylen Wright to Alexander Mattison.
