Phins LT Branden Albert out for season

@ArmandoSalguero: Joe Philbin says "what you saw is what you're going to get," obviously meaning Ja'Wuan James is your LT and Dallas Thomas is your RT.

 

So Dallas Thomas gets to contend with Mario Williams, and James gets to match up against Jerry Hughes, who frustrated the pants off of Albert in Week 2.

 

I like that matchup.

@RapSheet: An MRI confirmed that #Dolphins LT Branden Albert tore his ACL and MCL, source says. Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said he’s IR bound.

 

Awful news for Albert who was having a great season. Miami's offense has struggled even with him, but when Tannehill has time he can be effective. When he does not have time he resorts to his old ways of throwing INTs and being inaccurate. The Bills D has been a poor matchup for Miami for the past couple years, and is playing at a very high level. They do have Pouncey back at C which will help with Dareus but their issues have been with the edge rushers.

 

Cortland Finnegan also hurt yesterday, may not be able to play Thursday. Grimes did a good job on Sammy last time on the deep balls , but Sammy also had the rib issue and EJ was throwing it. Their backup corner got abused by Golden Tate yesterday when Finnegan went out. Woods could benefit.
