Vernon Carey Update

Isn't Vernon Carey the Dolphins' best offensive lineman? Why did he have such a poor start to his Dolphins career?

A: Based solely on observation, I would say Carey is the leader of the pack with the Dolphins. Running back Ronnie Brown had most of his rushing success in last Sunday's 20-17 loss to the New York Jets with Carey leading the way.

The slow start to Carey's NFL career can be attributed to three main factors: A) Carey entered the season in the best condition of his three-year NFL career after not being as fit in his first two campaigns; B) It usually takes a rookie, even a first-round draft choice like Carey, some time to become acclimated playing at the NFL level; C) Carey has a much better rapport with offensive line coach Hudson Houck than he did with predecessor Tony Wise.

In the Dolphins' internal grading system, we're told the two starting offensive linemen earning the least -- Vernon Carey ($490,000) and Rex Hadnot ($425,000), both Rick Spielman draft picks -- have graded out 1-2 this season. That puts them ahead of L.J. Shelton ($2 million), Jeno James (2.5 million) and McIntosh ($585,000).

On a disappointing offensive line, Vernon Carey has stood out, grading out as the Dolphins' most consistent lineman. But some talent evaluators expected more from Jeno James (who was victimized for two sacks Sunday), among others. . . . How shocking are Keith Traylor's team-high three sacks? Traylor, 37, had the same total in his previous 64 games. Dan Wilkinson, 33, believes sharing time with Traylor will keep them fresh in December
