    Don Shula will not sit still. The Super Bowl champions have five new starters in NFL81: yeoman FB1 Stan Winfrey, postseason star WR1 Willis Adams, mid NFL80 trade acquistion DE1 Fred Cook, NFL79 rookie-free-agent-find Don Bessileau and--GET THIS!--second-round draft choice LB2 Lyman White. White comes highly regarded enough out of Louisiana State, but his starting nod in Week 2 might be NFL81's most astounding roster news for a variety of reasons:

    -- The Dolphins' returning linebacker corps (LB1 Reggie Wilkes, LB3 Lance Mehl and suddenly LB6 Rusty Chambers) was considered strong.

    -- Shula picked a linebacker in Round 1, ahead of White: LB5 Mike Singletary of Baylor.

    -- White was listed as LB8 coming out of training camp.

    Don Shula will not sit still.

    The Lions' only new starter for NFL81 is LB3 Gary Shugrue, the team's 11th-round draft choice out of Villanova in NFL76. Detroit, however, might want to look at making a change at K1.
