The Miami Dolphins are gearing up for a pivotal Week 5 contest against an unfamiliar opponent, the San Francisco 49ers. With opponents outside of the conference, football always becomes a bit more unpredictable. These teams and their players don’t quite know each other as well as they do against the teams that are competing for postseason positioning in the AFC or the NFC each and every season. With the dynamics of unfamiliarity at play, what will we see in Week 5 as the Dolphins square off against the San Francisco 49ers?
Here are some bold predictions.
Jesse Davis starts at left tackle
The Dolphins are embracing the gamesmanship of changing their left tackle amid the injury to Austin Jackson. Brian Flores was quick to reference every single offensive lineman on the roster who currently doesn’t hold a starting spot when asked about how the team will tackle the void at left tackle. But pushing Robert Hunt into the lineup is the most logical move — so look for incumbent right tackle Jesse Davis to kick to the left side to make room for Hunt to play next to Solomon Kindley.
