Kick Flowers outside from left guard and promote Deiter

It wasn’t that long ago that Ereck Flowers was drafted in the top-10 overall to play left tackle for the New York Giants. That option has less appeal now as we’ve seen what Flowers is capable of on the outside or, more specifically, what he isn’t capable of. The Dolphins could still feasibly kick Flowers to the perimeter and reinstall guard Michael Deiter, who started 15 games for the Dolphins as a rookie in 2019. This would allow the remaining line to the right of left guard to experience no interruptions and would allow Miami to replace their lost starter (Jackson) with a player in Deiter who has at least some experience on the interior.

This isn’t a great option but if Miami covets experience, it is an option.
