5 Miami Dolphins players that have to step up against the Jets
By Brian Miller
There are a lot of problems on the Miami Dolphins offensive line but this week, Greg Little will need to step up again on the right side.
Greg Little has been playing right tackle since Austin Jackson was lost to IR. Jackson hasn’t been cleared to return yet so Little will make another start.
Little has had really good moments and has had his share of bad ones, getting lost against stunts. This week, he has to play better and allow the Dolphins to run the ball more efficiently.
Teddy Bridgewater has similar skill sets to Tua Tagovailoa but he doesn’t have the same quick release that Tua has and he tends to hold the ball a little longer and not hit routes quickly. That means that the offensive line will need to hold blocks for a second or two more.

For Little, some of the good news is that he will not be the blindside blocker again until Tua returns. This will help a bit as Teddy Bridgewater will be able to see what is on that side of the line when he drops back.
Still, Little needs to not only have a good game but a consistent one. If he can, he and Robert Hunt will be able to control that side of the ball and we should see better runs to that side.
