A lot of people are going to be very nervous about this upcoming matchup against Von Miller. I think the Miami Dolphins can game plan around this. Greg Little played well enough to minimize the impact of Justin Houston and Odafe Oweh for most of the game.

Greg Little stepped up hugely and was able to limit this pass rush mightily. The Miami Dolphins as a whole only allowed 1 sack on the day and it was not because of Greg Little.

That is huge news because this right tackle spot has been one that is going to give Miami Dolphins fans fits. They feel like they missed some big opportunities to get one in free agency, or have just missed too many times in the draft.

I think one thing that is being overlooked is how much Terron Armstead is helping a guy like Greg Little as well as Austin Jackson.

Many people are saying that if Greg Little continues to play the way he played in week 2, that Austin Jackson might not get that right tackle job back.

With Greg Little’s 56.4 pass-blocking grade by PFF, they may be just wishing. It wasn’t great, but he didn’t let the game get away from him.

He was able to keep it stable on the right side, and he allowed Tua Tagovailoa with enough time from his blindside to make the right reads late in the game when it mattered.

You can’t argue with results, and Greg Little hasn’t shown anything to say he can’t hold up yet.
