Kelly: Miami Dolphins Depth 'Not Very Good'

Interviews-wqam

The Miami Dolphins' starters have looked strong in the first two preseason games, but should they be worried about the depth behind them?

"You have a good starting unit," the Sun Sentinel's Omar Kelly said on the Joe Rose Show. "They are front-loaded, which is what you can really expect when you put so much money into starters -- Ndamukong Suh and Ryan Tannehill and Mike Pouncey, Reshard Jones making good money -- but then when you pay that much to a lot of your frontline players, you get really thin. I was concerned about it from the very beginning and I'm probably a little bit more concerned now than I was before the preseason began. Your depth is not very good on your team. You don't have a respectable backup offensive lineman. You don't have some respectable backup linebackers. The depth that you had at safety you just loss when Louis Delmas went down.

"And your cornerback position -- right now Jamar Taylor and Bobby McCain are hurt -- I'm not sure they're gonna have enough cornerbacks to finish the preseason if both of those guys don't come back and play."
