Today is Cam Cameron Memorial Day at Dolphin Stadium.
The Dolphins will play the Baltimore Ravens in what is a rematch of Miami's lone 2007 victory. Ironically, the coach who won that game for Miami is now the offensive coordinator for the Ravens. Ironically, that coach has a reputation as a great offensive play-caller, yet it is the Dolphins that enter the game with the more dynamic offense.
Speaking of the Wildcat package, I happened to catch parts of the Alabama game Saturday afternoon. The announcers said former Dolphins and current Tide coach Nick Saban prepared his team for the Wildcat offense last week. He did it by practicing for it during 10 minutes on three consecutive days last week.
Voila. Prepared.
Saban told the announcing crew the way to stop it is to show multiple fronts against it and blitz it. Interesting.
On another front, receiver Terrance Copper, who had a Dolphins In Depth moment a few days ago because he was available is, well, not available anymore. He re-signed with the Saints on Saturday. The Dolphins meanwhile go into today's game with their same 'ol receiver corps. We'll see how they do today.
Anyway, we'll have a live blog today. I'll update this post later with any pertinent pregame news -- like Paul Soliai getting suspended for today's game -- and then we'll start the live blog in the comments section. We'll hop to the comments section of new posts every quarter.
See you in the comments section at kickoff.
unbelievable. Baltimore? Come on.

Can Will Allen ever catch a ball? He needs to be cut, he's terrible.

GINN WAS OPEN ON THAT ONE GUYS

Just a few points, pennington is finished. His noode arm will only get worse once the travel to cold weather sites. Flacco is a rookie from Delaware. Henne is a rookie from Michagan, started four years and has a gun. Like Flacco. The receivers are open, noodle arm can't get the ball there. The jets have the same damn offense, but now have a QB to get the open receivers the ball.
When you don't try to throw the ball on 3rd down near the goal line, you know your QB stinks.

Why is Will Allen still on this team? I've seen better hands on a clock. Every time we drop an INT, the other team takes advantage and scores. Our DB's are the worst.

What the hell is goin on with Miami?
Posted by: | October 19, 2008 at 02:26 PM
We have no pass defense.
Posted by: | October 19, 2008 at 02:27 PM
Fans in Miami are pathetic!!!!!!! how the hell do you have half an empty stadium? Bandwagon people if I ever saw them! You could here Heapppppppppppppppppppppppp when he caught the ball!!!!!
Posted by: nyfin | October 19, 2008 at 02:27 PM
Pennington is ass! Now do you guys believe me? He ruined the moral of the entire Jets team while he was NY. Such a weak arm. Never takes a risk. He gets beat on conservative plays, that is the worse at least take a chance.

DEFENSE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Same crap Dif Season | October 19, 2008 at 02:29 PM
The defense has played decently, it was that INT for a TD that cost us. Hey Armando, is it me or is the defensive line missing today? That kid Starks seems like he is going to be special.
Posted by: nyfin | October 19, 2008 at 02:36 PM
DB's are too weak....please get someone who can catch a ball
Posted by: ehm pizzle | October 19, 2008 at 02:36 PM
I said it after the first week that this secondary was going to lose us games all year. I just don't see any dif in this years secondary play from last years. This team has none, not a one play maker in that secondary. They had one good game and that is it!!!! So one must conclude that, that game was a fluke and what you are seeing right now is a team with the worst secondary in the NFL.
Posted by: Same crap Dif Season | October 19, 2008 at 02:36 PM
can ginn catch? try him in the secondary
Posted by: ehm pizzle | October 19, 2008 at 02:36 PM
They need the start the half witha three an out or it is all over.
Posted by: Same crap Dif Season | October 19, 2008 at 02:38 PM
I miss the days of Sam Madison and Patrick Surtain
Posted by: | October 19, 2008 at 02:39 PM
same old db's........the only good secondary person whiffs on gamebreaker player...so go figure
Posted by: ehm pizzle | October 19, 2008 at 02:40 PM
heaaaaaaaaaaaaaaappppppppp
Posted by: nyfin | October 19, 2008 at 02:42 PM
I'm out, the game is off, and I'll be going outside to beat my dog for the next hour.
Posted by: Same crap Dif Season | October 19, 2008 at 02:42 PM
i am voting Joe Flacco for the pro bowl!!!
Posted by: nyfin | October 19, 2008 at 02:43 PM
Armando stop praising Y. BELL.....How about this Armando. When was the last time Y. Bell made a play.
Posted by: pat | October 19, 2008 at 02:46 PM
Ginn can run, his catching and beating db's is still in doubt!!! you know cameron engineered this, he knew he would be an offensive coordinator for the Ravens, thats why he pushed for Ginn to be on the Dolphins. He knew he wouldnt be able to beat them down field, that's also why he took Beck. I rank him behind shula!
Posted by: nyfin | October 19, 2008 at 02:49 PM
Has anyone else showed up today besides Camarillo?
Posted by: nyfin | October 19, 2008 at 02:49 PM

Posted by: nyfin | October 19, 2008 at 02:51 PM
they build momentummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!! and then WC for NOTHING!!! grrrrrrrr
Posted by: nyfin | October 19, 2008 at 02:53 PM
Finally TD for the Fins
Posted by: | October 19, 2008 at 02:56 PM
Finally our defense gets a three and out
Posted by: | October 19, 2008 at 03:02 PM
still a secondary away from being a real team. really? joe flacco is carving us up?
Posted by: adam from Montreal | October 19, 2008 at 03:31 PM
D for Miami is terrible today, they're making Flacco and Co look really really good. :(
Posted by: Dillon | October 19, 2008 at 03:32 PM
The worst secondary in the league by far!!! We can't stop a 3rd and 10 in the fourth quarter and down by a TD? We're making the Ravens offense look the Colts.

Posted by: Dillon | October 19, 2008 at 03:41 PM
We have to get a shut down corner.
Posted by: pat | October 19, 2008 at 03:43 PM
why in the hell is Cobbs playing so much....
remember the two wins was all ronnie and ricky
Sparano stop the men crush
Posted by: AndyP | October 19, 2008 at 03:45 PM
again in a two weeks the dolfins can not get the run going and they don't win
two wins over a 100 yard running two loses under a 100 yards. don't run we can can win. i don't think so
Posted by: stew | October 19, 2008 at 03:45 PM
hay look ronnie brown has two more yards rushing than chad p and we still don't have 100 yards rushing GO FHINS
Posted by: stew | October 19, 2008 at 03:49 PM
hard to run on Baltimore. it was the free touchdown given up by the offence and the D's inability to stop the Flacco-led juggernaut in the 2nd half.
Posted by: adam from Montreal | October 19, 2008 at 03:50 PM
Damn Cam Cameron was better than any dolphin coach today!!!
Posted by: pat | October 19, 2008 at 03:53 PM
hay look mcgahee hay 105 rushing and they win there is something to a 100+yards rushing GO FHINS
Posted by: stew | October 19, 2008 at 03:54 PM
Glad to see we are back to normal, losing as usual, the defense sucked, the offense sucked, and Cam The Loser Cameron came out looking lile a big time winner, way to go fins
Posted by: Ed Ochoa | October 19, 2008 at 03:55 PM
