Dolphins guard Justin Smiley knows a dominant offensive lineman when he sees one. Smiley believes he lined up next to one this weekend - rookie left tackle Jake Long - during the team's mini-camp. Smiley, who played the past two seasons in San Francisco with future Hall of Famer Larry Allen, doesn't think it'll be long before the rest of the NFL sees what he sees in Long. "Even though we were in shorts, you can tell he's a special player," Smiley said. "He's going to be a perennial Pro Bowler."

I'm sure Big Fat Bill didnt say this

Yeah your right, that is a strange picture.
I don't have a problem with another offensive lineman saying that he feels good about Longs future. I would have a problem if Long had said something of that sort, but he didn't, so its all good.

It's not about Pro Bowls, it's about Super Bowls.
