Kraig Urbik to visit Empty Kraig Urbik to visit

Veteran Kraig Urbik has been summoned to Davie to meet with team officials on Tuesday, and the team intends to sign him if everything (including medical tests) goes well, multiple sources said tonight.

another journeyman to compete at OG?

but according to this, it appears the Phins still have not given up on what they have...

But I've been told Gase iintends to put both Billy Turner and Dallas Thomas on weight programs focusing on their lower bodies to address some of their problems.

but maybe they should, unless they want Tannehill to have more days like this...

Ryan Tannehill was the picture of health Monday afternoon. The NFL’s most-sacked quarterback the past four years spent weeks after the 2015 season recovering and rehabilitating from his latest round of beatings. He’s no longer urinating blood as he was after one particularly savage game.

Damn that is crazy, if you are urinating blood then that means your OL didn't want you to play again.

Urbik is as good a signing as you can get at this point. Not great by any means but certainly serviceable. He's been mostly a backup the last couple of years, but on the Phins he MUST be a day one starter...clearly the best guard on the roster, and it's not close - not that that means much on this roster, but it is what it is...

Weight training for Dallas Thomas will help about as much as lipstick on a pig. He needs to get stronger for sure, but his technique is total crap...getting stronger isn't enough.

This is just his opinion, but if true, this is real scary.

That sucks what was Miami thinking. So Miami has a bunch of backups that shouldn't be starting at OG

I hope the Dolphins are saying that they're good with the guys they have as to not tip their draft strategy.

As I said elsewhere, I'd draft a bunch of O-linemen and get this fixed. That, of course, is dependent on getting talented OL guys.

Urbik is better than Thomas - I don't know how anyone could see it differently. Thomas is one of the worst linemen ever, and as long as Urbik is healthy - and more importantly the coaches let him actually compete - he will clearly be the better starting option.
