Live blog from Dolphins versus Cards today

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Got here extremely early for today's game between the Dolphins and Cardinals and ran into a former league source now working for the Cardinals. Asked him the real chances of his team trading receiver Anquan Boldin this year.

"Zero," he said. "Absolutely zero. I don't know what will happen after the season but I just don't see Anquan going anywhere this year."

So much for the rumors of Boldin coming to the Dolphins. While I wish that could happen for Miami's sake it just isn't in the, pardon the pun, cards. I know Boldin is from Florida. I know his agent Drew Rosenhaus would like to make it happen and continues to press Arizona to trade Boldin.

But the Cards hold all the, pardon the pun again, cards.

They have rebuffed at least one team's inquiry about Boldin and they have refused to give Rosenhaus permission to shop his client.

Understand that doesn't mean Boldin might not be moved in the offseason or some time before his current contract expires in 2010. But he is just as likely to get a new deal in Arizona before then as get traded.

So much for that rumor.

I can report to you that Ernest Wilford will be active today. The Dolphins are making Brandon London inactive to make room for Wilford on the active roster. Ricky Williams is still scheduled to start. Greg Camarillo will start at wide receiver.

Anyway, I hope you guys are ready for today's live blog. It'll start at kickoff. Join me then.

Don't get me wrong, the coaching is bad in this game, but we can blame poor personnel decisions over the last few years for what the Dolphins are experiencing now. Taking guys like Eddie Moore, Jason Allen, Ted Ginn and John Beck - what have these players contributed? The new regime was left with very little to work with and has to rebuild from the inside out.

[Wii]

They have to start throwing and forget the run now. they are in a BIG WHOLE.

[krueg]

I can't even remember the last time I was happy watching this franchise...we are by far, hands down, no doubt the worst franchise in the NFL. A laughing stock above all punchlines.

CHAD PENNINGTON, THROW THE BALL TO DEREK HAGAN.

Who cares if he's not open. Who cares if he CAN'T GET open. Who cares if he's NOT EVEN PLAYING. Throw the ball to him. I need some points!

[Earl]

Draft Talk Anyone?

[donjpaper]

remember the good old days, when we beat k.c. in the preseason

and no-wilford was not that WR

[Fred]

If they line up in the single back formation again, I am going to shoot them! Don't these people play Madden/Playstation?

[krueg]

Why wish for 6-10? 2-14 will get us the #1 pick again...screw 'em. Keep it up Fins. Most of these sorry players won't be around in two months, let alone next year. After seeing two weeks, it's obvious we aren't any better than last year...

[Wii]

Armando you better rip these regime a big one with your next article.

[Wii]

Throw Throw Throw

[donjpaper]

camarillo looks nice

[rhino68]

GUYS ARE YOU FINALLY GOING TO STOP GETTING HAPPY ABOUT GETTING "DEPTH" AT THE # 47 AND 53 TO FILL OUT THE ROSTER..........

THIS TEAM NEEDS TO SPEND SOME BIG MONEY IN THE OFF SEASON, PERIOD.....

I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER A..HOLE SAY " DON'T SPEND TO MUCH MONEY" SCREW YOU.....

YES WE NEED TO BUILD FROM THE DRAFT AND MAKE SURE WE HIT ON OUR DRAFT PICKS

WE NEED SOME STUDS......

[cneighbor]

well said orldgent...this team consists of satelle, long, maybe d. thomas, maybe langford, maybe merling, maybe henne, and a bunch of scrubs. this is going to take 3-4 years minimum...

[krueg]

At least camarillo and bess catch the ball...

[Pete in otown]

someone tells Pracells his dinner sucks and he needs a better grocery list....

[Armando Salguero]

Camarillo is probably Miami's best WR right now. That is a bad thing considering the inn and Hagan.

[William in Ks]

I think its times to start making contacts based on performance, If you can not produce then your salary drops to base pay. Regardless of your name....if their agents are so sure of their players value they sould have no problem with that plan.

we suck

[Mo]

Armando, chances that Derek Hagan ends today's game with a catch?

Good odds?

100-1?

Eh eh?

[Armando Salguero]

I have yet to see explosion from Williams this season.

[donjpaper]

how many times are they run the toss, thats 3 times already

[Wii]

henning is to old..

[krueg]

this chat is depressing me more than the game...

[sc_fan]

We will rebuild thru the draft. We have a lot of ground to make up from the bad drafts from Wannstadt's days. It looks like we need to draft the best players available for 2-3 years at the most before we will be consistently be a playoff-quality team.

To quote Indy's old coach-

Playoffs? Playoffs? DON'T TALK TO ME ABOUT PLAYOFF!!!!!!!!!!

[Armando Salguero]

Fasano here today?

[Fred]

Yeah Armando, tell it like it is; there's nothing optimistic about this team or about the player personel decisions. This is pathetic; there is absolutely no creativity whatsoever. Why would parcells employ Sparano? A guy who has zero experience as a head coach.

[donjpaper]

wiill, i agree it should start with the coaching staff

[Wii]

Henning should be relaxing at century village.

[krueg]

Way to go up and get that ball Wilford...

[Armando Salguero]

Play action pass to Wilford. he was not open. The lack of speed showed there.

[donjpaper]

wow!! a wilford sighting

[Pete in otown]

wilford had a step and chad underthrows him, great job chad..

no arm

[Beck's Agent]

fitzgerald goes up and gets that for a td. difference between miami and everyone else.

[Wii]

Saprano looks lost

[cneighbor]

"I'm the no 1 receiver" hagan...season catches over/under=21...your thoughts?

[Armando Salguero]

That third down pass could have been intercepted by three different guys.

[krueg]

great throw chad...i think he needs to put more air under the ball. he throws too hard.

[Beck's Agent]

Is Ginn in the witness protection program? Does anyone know his whereabouts? Get an APB out for his butt

[krueg]

first good play of the game. jason allen shows why he was a first round pick on special teams!!! YAY!!!

[Wii]

What is saprano looking at when the cameras pan to him on the sidelines; the fire exits?

[Pete in otown]

thats the best play of the day......too bad it will be followed by a 99 yard td pass to fitzgerald.

99 yard drive coming soon

do think its possible that the cards will score everytime they touch the ball. Special teams is the only improvment i've seen from last year

[OrlGent]

Fred,

We have more holes to fill than just WR. (OL, LB, DB to name a few)

Did I hope the Dolphins would come out and play better? Heck ya! But it is what it is.

[Frankie Hollywood]

Hagan looks like the No. 1 receiver on his way out this offseason.

[krueg]

Ginn is a bust. he is terrible. we all know it...let's all move on. why beat a dead buckeye???

[Wii]

for the second week in a row we are making bad teams look like SB contenders.

[Joey]

Why are we punting on 4th down in their territory down 17?????

[James/Ireland]

Parcels did nothing with the Jets...We got Ryan (now gone) and Pennington from his great time there....

Dallas are good but can't win the big ones....

Brady was on the bench for Four years because Bledsoe was a real winner. Why drop him in Dallas then??????????

Sorry but SPEND SPEND SPEND if you have 30M to spare. HOW DOES IT HURT OUR TEAM TO SPEND THE €30M?????????

[Sol]

Brandon Fields is apparently our best player today.

[Fred]

In addition to our lack of playmaking ability, we're being outcoached guys...Great

[sc_fan]

Jason Allen made a play? FINALLY!!!

[donjpaper]

Mando, do you think they are running outside because the o-line cant create anything?

[Marc]

This is (ONCE AGAIN) embarrasing...It all goes back to RIDICULOUS personnel moves that we CONTINUE to make...In the last 5 years we've traded/cut/pissed away more talent...Thomas, Taylor, Madison, Surtain, Ogunleye, Marion, Schulters, Chambers, McMichael....we're 20 mil or so under the cap, but you're telling me we "needed" to get rid of some of the GREAT players we used to have?

[Armando Salguero]

this is the Dolphins best scoring threat so far today. They have a better chance to score right now -- while on D -- than anytime the offense has been on the field.

[Same crap Dif Season]

WHy is it their receivers are so wide open and they always have 2 to 3 players around our receivers? Are they playing with 15 men on defense? I said it last week this secondary is the same as last year constantly giving big plays the $uck!!!!!!

[The Boz]

At least we are stopping the run guys !!

[donjpaper]

Marc, i like your style
