### Want to amuse Dolphins players? Just ask them about Knowshon Moreno’s strange behavior during games. (Hey, whatever works.)
Let Ryan Tannehill explain it:
“When it’s a TV timeout and we’re all sitting in the huddle talking with each other and he’s five yards away, flexing and looking into the crowd, it’s different,” Tannehill said today. “I’ve never been around anyone that does that. It’s kind of fun. I look at him and I’m like, ‘Guys, do you see this guy?’ They’re like, ‘Yeah, he’s out there.’”
“He’s kind of off on his own, talking to himself, staring off into the crowd, but he’s intense. He’s focused on what he has to do, he runs hard and I love it. I love being in the huddle with him.”
### The Dolphins are trying to bring new linebacker Kelvin Sheppard up to speed very quickly, because he could be one of only four or five healthy linebackers on the active roster Sunday if Philip Wheeler joins Koa Misi, Jordan Tripp and out-for-the-season Dannell Ellerbe on the sidelines. (Chris McCain’s status is in doubt because he has missed the past two days of practice with an illness. He played through a hip injury last weekend.)
One concern about Sheppard: During his three-plus year career with the Bills and Colts, 50 passes have been thrown with Sheppard in coverage and 39 have been completed, for 354 yards, or 9.1 per reception.
In practice this week, Jason Trusnik has been playing middle linebacker (in place of Misi) and Jelani Jenkins has been getting first-team snaps at Ellerbe's weak-side linebacker spot. Jonathan Freeny and Sheppard can play Wheeler's strongside linebacker spot. Wheeler has been limited in practice because of a thumb injury.
### It will be interesting to see what kind of damage Cam Wake can do on Sunday against former Hurricanes player Seantrel Henderson, now Buffalo’s starting right tackle after being drafted in the seventh round this past May.
Bills coach Doug Marrone said that “anything we heard that was a red flag” about Henderson "has been just the opposite. We’ve had no [problems] at all… It’s a credit to the young man.... He's a heck of a football player. What's there not to like?”
Henderson allowed a sack Sunday against Chicago.
