This is where it's going to happen.
The live blog will begin here from Land Shark Stadium at 7:30 p.m. as the Dolphins meet the Carolina Panthers.
As you know, Jason Allen and Sean Smith have the sniffles so they are not playing.
Brian Hartline will start tonight for Davone Bess. Bess is not among the sick players as he is dressed. Vontae Davis will start for Sean Smith and Dolphins Thomas is starting at right guard for Shawn Murphy, who started last week and lost his starting job.
Hit refresh button on Justin TV and it will start working again. Joey Porter looking aggressive getting the runner in the backfield. Defense looks very solid!!

Is game on Sirius radio?
Posted by: Lawyernichols | August 22, 2009 at 07:54 PM
BIG A= great question, just think how this team did last year in its first year, with not many players, now add J TAYLOR along w/ PORTER, and ALL the others GROVE, LONG's 2nd yr, GIBRIL, SEAN/VONTAE, the DLINE looks unstoppable, the new WR's
could be a special year
Posted by: RHINO | August 22, 2009 at 07:54 PM
Thats the key to the whole season a good runnning game and great defense

What's the deal with aloe vera toilet paper?
Posted by: CamCameron | August 22, 2009 at 07:55 PM
Dolphins sent five on the rush and couldn't get there. Nathan Jones beat on the 15 yard completion.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 22, 2009 at 07:55 PM
This season, those pressures on the QB will result in a few picks,
Posted by: Lips | August 22, 2009 at 07:55 PM
Another rush by Carolina. Another negative running play.
AWESOME run D.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 22, 2009 at 07:56 PM
I can't believe how good this run defense looks!
Posted by: Fin Fan | August 22, 2009 at 07:56 PM
Defense looks great so far!!
Posted by: Jon in VA | August 22, 2009 at 07:56 PM
Could be worse! Could be raining....
Posted by: RHINO | August 22, 2009 at 07:57 PM
Linebackers & d-line looking good
Posted by: nposada | August 22, 2009 at 07:57 PM
Ferguson might the most important player on this team.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | August 22, 2009 at 07:57 PM
It worked...refresh...ty...I love nat moore! hands of glue...but even bob griese needs work in the preseason.
Posted by: Larry in Waikiki | August 22, 2009 at 07:57 PM
The Panthers are officially picking on Nathan Jones.
My prediction: He will lose his nickel back spot before the end of the season.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 22, 2009 at 07:57 PM
Bell looking weak in coverage.
Posted by: Nick | August 22, 2009 at 07:58 PM
Bell is having trouble covering the tight end.
Posted by: Fin Fan | August 22, 2009 at 07:58 PM
I really wish Sean smith was playing tonight. I think he will get the starting spot and hate that he is losing game time with the first unit...
Posted by: Lips | August 22, 2009 at 07:59 PM
Well, that was a great run and lots of sloppy tackling by the Dolphins on a 25 yard run by DeAngelo Williams.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 22, 2009 at 07:59 PM
Folsom, Williams, J. Allen and whos 37?
Posted by: Larry in Waikiki | August 22, 2009 at 08:00 PM
All this negative talk of Chad P and his noddle arm. Give it a rest already, lets support the guy and give him a chance. It's his last yeart on contract if he leads us to a deep playoff run great. If not then its Henne's turn.
Posted by: Dolphins4life | August 22, 2009 at 08:00 PM
disgusting, yuk! SPARANO LOOKS LIKE HE'S gonna kill someone.
Posted by: Ronnie Brown MVP | August 22, 2009 at 08:00 PM
Two long third down conversions on one possession is not acceptable.
Posted by: Nick | August 22, 2009 at 08:00 PM
37 is Yeremiah Bell. Can be no excuses there.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 22, 2009 at 08:01 PM
former UM guy Jon Beason has a knee injury and is doubtful to return.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 22, 2009 at 08:01 PM
even rookies should know how to tackle by row.
No matter how good they can be, poor tackling is as detrimental as turnovers or penalties.. they are free and undeserved yards by the opponent!
Posted by: Lips | August 22, 2009 at 08:02 PM
Sparano is pissed. What sloppy tackling on that Deangelo Williams touchdown run. I think it was Langford (95) who missed the initial tackle in the backfield but there were so many missed tackles you could probably attribute a missed tackle to half of the defense.
Posted by: Fin Fan | August 22, 2009 at 08:02 PM
3 arm tackles = 7 points
Posted by: WPBDolfan | August 22, 2009 at 08:02 PM
wow the dolphins deffense sucked on that last play 4 missed tackles
Posted by: rob | August 22, 2009 at 08:02 PM
and wilford...but 37 was in great position 2x...just missed. Good or Bad? I dunno.
Posted by: Larry in Waikiki | August 22, 2009 at 08:02 PM
Terrible 3rd down defense.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | August 22, 2009 at 08:02 PM
Terrible tackling on the TD run
Posted by: Purepain | August 22, 2009 at 08:03 PM
how about ronnie brown he is the man i am telling u i think we need to stop giving ricky the ball and give ronnie the ball 30 times a game.
Posted by: rob | August 22, 2009 at 08:03 PM
ricky goes for 6 yards. They are abusing the Panthers on the run game.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 22, 2009 at 08:03 PM
wildcat work on second down. Gains only 3 yards on a Brown keeper.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 22, 2009 at 08:04 PM
Wildcat really it's preseason
Posted by: phinsfan6453 | August 22, 2009 at 08:04 PM
Panthers have a great run offense and the dolphins are not gonna show their hand on offense or defense.
Aside from blitzing on passing downs the dolphins are not schemeing, more like an off vanilla D.
Posted by: Dolphins4life | August 22, 2009 at 08:04 PM
Pennington gets EXCELLENT time for a first down pass to David Martin.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 22, 2009 at 08:04 PM
Really again it's presason. Save that for the season
Posted by: phinsfan6453 | August 22, 2009 at 08:05 PM
Hey, a wildcat wrinkle: The fake to Ricky going left, the fake to Cobbs coming right and Brown keeps up the middle.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 22, 2009 at 08:05 PM
Davone Bess drops a great pass.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 22, 2009 at 08:06 PM
Can't blame Chad on that throw
Posted by: nposada | August 22, 2009 at 08:07 PM
If Chad had better arm strength Bess would have caught it...ha ha ha.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | August 22, 2009 at 08:07 PM
I don't remember seeing Bess drop to me, but he clearly let that slip on through before Richard Marshall jacked him up.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 22, 2009 at 08:07 PM
bess drops a pass thats a first
Posted by: sammo | August 22, 2009 at 08:07 PM
Tackle are you serious
Posted by: phinsfan6453 | August 22, 2009 at 08:08 PM
ugh - another sloppy play.
Someone is going to get cut mid game if this continues.
Posted by: Lips | August 22, 2009 at 08:09 PM
Special teams is what is going to kill us
Posted by: Clasby440 | August 22, 2009 at 08:09 PM
And now the special teams are struggling. Yikes. 58 yards on punt return by Captain Munnerlyn.
Great name. Bad play for Miami.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 22, 2009 at 08:09 PM
that wildcat play will be handed off to cobbs back door come reg. season. i just started watching the game, pennington looks poised, rest of team looks lazy and flat, d is getting pressure but not wrapping up.
Posted by: Ronnie Brown MVP | August 22, 2009 at 08:09 PM
What is this about an injury they mentioned on the radio? It was Jimmy Cefalo that mentioned it...so it may be nothing.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | August 22, 2009 at 08:09 PM
Bess dropped two last game.
Posted by: Eric | August 22, 2009 at 08:09 PM
i really don't care what pennington does i can't wait till see chad henne! i think we should start him right now what do u think armando?
Posted by: rob | August 22, 2009 at 08:09 PM
Bess dropped one pass last week. My mistake.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 22, 2009 at 08:10 PM
I don't remember seeing Bess drop two??
Posted by: Kenny | August 22, 2009 at 08:10 PM
Special teams not impressive thus far?
Posted by: YankeeFan | August 22, 2009 at 08:10 PM
let's hear it for the cuban-american referee, alberto riverón.
Posted by: Hialeah Über Alles | August 22, 2009 at 08:11 PM
Rob, there are definitely some folks that agree with you. I would not make that change at QB yet. Sorry.
