The Dolphins are now preparing for their 1pm home game against a very good Green Bay Packers team, and they should have quite a few line-up changes. The Dolphins appear to be getting healthier and should have Randy Starks, Mike Pouncey, Koa Misi, Reshad Jones, and maybe even Knowshon Moreno back in the line-up and ready to play this upcoming Sunday. This is a good thing to be able to get previous starters back into the line-up, however this means that other line-up changes will be made.
For starters, the coaching staff is toying with the idea of keeping Satele as the starting center and moving Pouncey to the starting right guard position. Pouncey was an excellent right guard early in his Florida Gator career, and he says that is his more natural position, but he will play wherever the coaches want him to. At first glance, my thinking was put the pro-bowl center back at center, however Satele has played very well in Pouncey’s absence, and right guard has been the weak link in the offensive line with Dallas Thomas and Shelley Smith. So if the coaches feel that the best 5 offensive line players includes Satele at center then I have no problem with Pouncey moving to guard, because I think it is fair to say that wherever Pouncey plays on the line he will be an upgrade for the team.
Reshad Jones will be returning from his 4 game suspension and the plan is to move him back to his strong safety spot, which means Louis Delmas will be moved to free safety to replace Jimmy Wilson. Hence Jimmy Wilson will be moved to his more natural position of nickel corner and Davis and Taylor will receive less overall playing time. On paper this looks like an upgrade with Jones coming back to the line-up, however the secondary has actually played consistently well this season, so I wonder if the shake-up will have an initial negative effect, especially since Aaron Rodgers is coming to town?
If Misi proves healthy this brings up the most interesting dilemmas of all the starters returning to the line-up, because most sports gambling fans would say that Trusnik has played very well as the starting middle linebacker. Personally if I were the coaches I would stick with Trusnik and let him play the rest of the season, and give him the chance to continue to develop, because I do not believe Misi is the answer at middle linebacker. What does the rest of the phin fans think?
Lastly Moreno has been practicing, but is still not 100% and is using a brace on his left elbow. He said that his comfort level playing with the brace will decide whether or not he plays on Sunday. Lamar Miller has done an extremely valiant job in filling in for Moreno, and I would say that if Moreno is not close to 100%, then there is no reason to rush him back for the Packers game. We need a healthy Moreno for the remainder of the season, not a semi-healthy Moreno for one game.
