The former Tennessee Titans offensive lineman has fit right in with the Miami Dolphins
Offensive lineman Aaron Brewer spent his first four seasons with the Tennessee Titans but needed just 10 games to fit in with the Miami Dolphins. He’s made an instant impact, allowing just two sacks and four quarterback hurries in 663 offensive snaps through 10 games.
Despite two sacks and two penalties in last week’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Tagovailoa praised Brewer during Wednesday’s media session.
“I would love to have ‘Brew’ here for a long time,” Tagovailoa said. “I mean, I love how he goes about his business. I love how we have a good relationship, how we communicate with things that we see and whatnot.
“But to me, it just feels like offensively, with the o-line, it just feels like we’ve all been playing together for such a long time. Doesn’t feel like there’s been a drop off anywhere.”
The lone addition to Miami’s offensive line entering 2024, Brewer has hit the ground running after signing a three-year, $21 million free-agent deal. As a unit, the Dolphins offensive line ranks No. 19 with 2.5 sacks allowed per game but also provides a push for a rushing attack averaging 122 yards per game.
While the New England Patriots failed to sack Matthew Stafford last week, they showcased their disruptive potential in Week 10, recording nine sacks against Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams.
The Dolphins enter action Sunday against their division rival on a two-game winning streak and a repeat performance of the offensive line’s Week 5 showing would be a strong place to start. Miami ran the ball 41 times, averaging over 4.5 yards per carry. Quarterback Snoop Huntley was sacked three times, but the o-line’s performance helped secure the 15-10 victory.
