    That really hurts the Fins. They need to get a LT in to protect Tannehill's blindside now.

    Theyll probably move Jonathan Martin and draft a tackle or something

    Jake Long did not fit the ZBS and that why he struggle/was in the decline he was clearly not the same or playing the same level he was in his earlier years but I wish him the best of luck.

    Why do they need a LT when they have Mike Wallace?

    Martin moved to LT when Jake got hurt last year ... not a surprise.

    When they drafted Martin (who played LT at Stanford) most saw it as writing on wall for Jake, who has not been the elite LT he was 3 years ago albeit still a pro bowl caliber player.

    Injuries and not fitting this scheme ruined him here. Not a big loss since he isn't the player he used to be. Could find better options in the draft for much less.

    Obviously its going to hurt not having him but we couldn't pay him what he wanted when he was giving up sacks left and right and getting hurt all the time
