Miami Dolphins | Sun-Sentinel Blogs: Stock Report (Game 11) STOCK DOWN C Samson Satele - Patriots nose tackle Vince Wilfork abused the Dolphins second-year center. At times Wilfork treated Satele like a rag doll, standing him up then shedding him to the side to make a tackle. You know your boy is a lover of line play, and I saw that AT LEAST three times during Sunday's loss, and it stifled the running game. To be fair, Wilfork, who contributed four tackles (one for a loss), is an elite player. A once in a lifetime nose tackle (if you get a chance make sure you thank Dave Wannstedt for passing on him during the 2004 draft). But Satele has to do a better job of holding his ground at the point of attack. It's been a problem all season. I'm beginning to suspect he's part of the reason the Dolphins struggle to run out of the base formations. When was the last time we saw the Dolphins line up in an I-formation and gain 8 or more yards running up the guy. Expect the Dolphins to address that position in the 2009 draft if Satele doesn't start to show improvement with his run blocking.
