Here’s a quick look at each: --The Dolphins are contemplating moving Pro Bowl center Mike Pouncey, possibly their best player on offense, to right guard. In other words they might shift Pouncey from the second-most important position on the offensive line to the least important position on the offensive line.

The Dolphins will get a better answer this week on whether moving middle linebacker Koa Misi inside was a wise choice. Misi, the weakside linebacker last season, was injured in the opener against New England and hasn’t played since.
Misi probably won’t play in the nickel package so his primary responsibility comes in the run game. Green Bay running back Eddie Lacy (66 carries, 266 yards, 4.0 yards per carry) hasn’t been good this season. He has one game rushing for more than 50 yards, but that came last week when he rushed for 105 yards against Chicago.

Strong safety Reshad Jones returns from his four-game suspension, and that could mean Louis Delmas, who had been playing strong safety, shifts to his usual position of free safety.
Accordingly, free safety Jimmy Wilson probably goes back to playing the slot defensive back in the nickel package.

Sounds good to me. I think these moves would have made a huge difference vs KC at least, may not do much to help against Rodgers is he's on fire though. Will be interesting to see if the Delmas Jones combo makes a big difference at safety.
 
We are almost back at full strength. Hope we can get this team rolling and reverse the ways of past and win more.
 
I agree with the articles final assessment, that Misi will be the most important move. Trusnik did a decent job but once he had to run to get in position or chase a RB it was all over. Misi isn't a speedster but he is faster the Jason was so maybe we won't give up as many of the long runs as we have been. Misi is also not great at covering but again he is a major upgrade over Jason. I just want to see him stop Lacy in the hole. Not many LBs can, or even want to try to do that in the 2nd half of games. Lacy is a big ol boy.

I think this game comes down to who is winning at half time. Don't think we can come from behind on this bunch if we are behind. They just have too many weapons.
 
Reshad is the difference maker for this game. Moving forward Pouncey is the bigger addition but the secondary will play much better with Jones at safety and Wilson back a nickel DB.

If GB goes out to a big halftime lead, they could get complacent in the 2nd half. That would be our only chance in that scenario.



I have no problem with Pouncey playing RG. Why upset the chemistry.
RG is a weak spot. If Benton and Lazor think Pouncey should play guard, he plays guard.
 
Pouncey could be HOF material at RG - he is a move athlete who just happened to bob his head before the snap - IMHO
 
Lol at guard being the least important position in a zone blocking scheme.
 
The bye definitely came at the right time for Miami. I think getting Jones back is a bigger factor than Misi. Wilson is just a terrible tackler, solid defender, much better as a nickel corner.
 
It is amazing how many articles state that Misi played weak side last year, when he actually played strong side.
 
Glad to see Satele come back and give us some value for that 2nd round pick....hope to see Pouncey at guard next Sunday.
 
Im not so sure we should be so scared of aaron rogers in the sense that the media is making such a big deal about it.

minny got their doors blown in because their DL got blown out and their OL got theirs too.

that aint happenin sunday. and ponder? omfg.
 
2-4 CBs are on trial now.

Jury comprised of Packer WRs and TEs, and Judge Aaron Rogers presiding.

Some say he's a hangin' judge.

Pray for mercy! lol
