Report: Smiley to be moved to Left Guard?
It seems that the Miami Dolphins may be moving the Oline around already. With Jake Long the new LT and Vernon Carey moving back to RT it was assumed that Shawn Murphy would play LG with Justin Smiley a RG, but Jeff Ireland said that Murphy will be penciled in at RG meaning that Smiley is likely to move to LG where he will be the veteran next to Jake Long.
The move makes sense if in fact it does play out this way having a veteran on both sides of the line and Samson Satele at the center position. Concern was that a rookie LG and Jake Long would anchor the left side while the veterans would line up on the right. This move makes that less worrisome for the Dolphins.
Something to keep an eye on as the off-season progresses into training camp.
Its only a report from PhinPhanatics.com because I saw no source but its a great idea. You do not want two inexperienced lineman on the left side of the line. That is just the beginning of many, many sacks in what will be a long season. Training camp will still decide who the Guard is but instead of the LG it will be at RG. This will be interesting to see how this line comes along with all the moves.
