Looks like Mark Gronowski has a legit shot at making an NFL roster

So what was the glaring deficiency…

Was Gron just plain bad or is Miami’s OL incapable, which of course makes a QB look worse than he actually is?
The first series I watched him, he missed a RB out of the backfield badly, hit a 4-yard stop route to a guy who got tackled instantly, then fumbled a snap that was right in his hands. The OL had nothing to do with that series. It was Deacon Hill 2023 level bad

No kidding, the Chiefs OLine in recent years has led Mahomes to move, scramble and not have much time which makes him look ordinary. Both Lines are hugely important

Well, he’s got .001% chance to make their roster. And if he can’t make Miami’s, he can’t make it.

I’m not surprised.

Just the look on his face like a deer in the headlights. He looked confused. Then the O-line and the blocking was not good. It was bad. Looked like a bad college team or high school team.

I did not see the first but I saw him get a 9 yd run in probably 3rd series , no first down tho
