Live blog starts here at 7:30 p.m.

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.

I have a question...since when is a fumble and recovery not challengeble for a review?

[NJ PHIN FAN]

Mando . yeah he to inconsistent

[sammo]

does williams catch the kickoff? maybe do something with it?

[brandersen]

Believe his 40 is 4.28

[dln265]

Secondary is brutal. Bring back Renaldo Hill and Andre Goodman. Is playing 5 yards off the receiver the norm in preseason?

[ronnie brown mvp]

cant trust him *(williams), even if he's electric, can't take the chance with someone who turns the football over.

[NJ PHIN FAN]

ok It's henne time.

[Stud13]

They weren't saying the fumble wasn't reviewable they were sayin the recovery of a fumble isn't reviewable

[Super Scout]

I feel bad for Williams.........and for us. We need a big play threat at returner. Ah well.........back to mediocre field position.

[Fin Fan]

If Williams has a spectacular second half, I can see the coaching staff holding onto him for maybe another preseason game to give him another chance. However, if he does not have some major production in the second half, I think he is gone sometime next week.

[rob]

the bad thing about the fumble is the guy that had the ball at first still came up with the ball and they said the panthers had it lol

[sammo]

williams is starting to remind me of lamont brightful. fast but no hands

[NJ PHIN FAN]

Vontae davis's play in the 1st half was encouraging. way to bounce back .

[GA Phin]

First huge punt return then Williams muff... bad enough but when are they gonna can Bono? Special teams sucked two years in a row...time to go Bono

[Fin Fan]

I agree on Vontae. He's showing us something tonight. I like how he's not afraid to get physical and stuff the run. I am glad the Dolphins cut Eric Green. This will give Vontae more time to mature before the season begins.

[Armando Salguero]

Rhino,

Wilson played FS on the Giants when they won the SB.

[beast1238]

wtf happen to Ted Ginn?

[Catch22NM]

rushing stats first half look good 13 attempts 68 yards. 5.23 YPC

[not a blind fan]

DID YOU GUYS FINALLY LEARN YOUR LESSON, I GUESS NOT.......EVERY EVERY YEAR, I KNOW WERE ALL 0-0 YOU THINK ALL IS GREAT, AND WE WILL BE FINE AND FALL IN LOVE WITH EVERY PLAYER JUST BECAUSE HE'S ON YOUR TEAM

AND THINK EVERY PLAYER DRAFTED HIGH OR NOT IS GOING TO BE THE STEAL OF THE DRAFT, AND WATCH OR HEAR SOMETHING POSITIVE AT TRAINING CAMP WHEN THEY ARE WEARING SHORTS... AND THINK

WOW THIS IS OUR YEAR

SORRY BOYS, NOT THIS YEAR, AGAIN,

if BILL IS SO GREAT WHY ERIC GREEN, AND A PROJECT QB IN THE 2ND WHEN WE HAVE CHAD/HENNE

WE WILL ALL BE DEAD WHEN THIS TEAM WINS THE BIG ONE..AGAIN

[Fin Fan]

I agree beast. That's what happened with Ted Ginn last year. He would have one great game and then disappear off the face of the universe. He needs to make himself more available to Pennington the way the commentators talk about Bess and Camarillo being "quarterback friendly."

[sammo]

What's up NJ? pennington looked good. as did ronnie.

[RHINO]

Come A, what would you say is GIBRIL's biggest weakness?

[HAL9000]

Pat White sucks

[Fin Fan]

I know Pennington doesn't have the strongest arm as Mando pointed out when he didn't lead Cobbs enough for a touchdown on the Wildcat trick play, but I like him a lot. He manages the game so well and is a terrific. I would much rather have him running the team than Henne or White.

[phinfan from birth73]

love first team offense and defense lets hope no one get hurt

[Fin Fan]

Notice Armstrong fielding the return and Chris Williams on the bench. I think that answer our question.

[Armando Salguero]

Chad henne at QB. And yes, that was Armstrong with the 20 yard return on the kickoff.

Bye Chris.

[phinfan from birth73]

mando whats up with ginn

[sammo]

henne in. will we see a deep throw?

[NJ PHIN FAN]

sammo . penny was penny. smart and efficient. He had some under throws though.

[IMAWriterRobJ]

The feed was freezing like crazy. Missed the special teams screw-ups. Is it coachable, or do we steal back Westhoff back from the Jets for Chris Williams (and family)??
I hate bad special teams. Reminds me of the 1st year NY Mets.

[phinsfan6453]

Starting o line still in the game, wow

[Armando Salguero]

Everette Brown beats Jake Long on the 1 on 1 rush for a sack.

[phinfan from birth73]

jake got beat by rookie

[NJ PHIN FAN]

Wow now that's a arm !

[sammo]

underthrows yes. that dropped pass by bess was a good throw tho.

[Vic Damoan]

can't handle elite speed....should have drafted Matt Ryan

[Hayden Fox]

I think in thhis entire debate about William, London has been getting shortchanged. He is a tall kid with experience that does a ton on specials. We need coverage guys more than a returner.

[NJ PHIN FAN]

I love cobbs.

[IMAWriterRobJ]

Armando...I respect Chap P greatly, but it's painfully obvious that he no more can get the ball down field than I can, at least not consistently.
Eventually, as did the Ravens, teams will really lock up close to stop the run.
Assuming Pat White's major snaps are from the 'cat, does he posses the arm to make the long ball to Ginn a possibility?

[Vic Damoan]

Henne is the future??? It's bleak.

[Armando Salguero]

Guys, I'm going to be away for a few while I write my column for the paper. This will not happen during the regular season blogs, but this ain't regular season.

I'll be back in a few. Play nice. But play hard.

[NJ PHIN FAN]

Murphy on the wiff ! his father didn't do much of that ( Wiff )

[sammo]

cobbs is awesome! nothing but plays from him. good speed great hands and surprising power. kickoff returner?

[payuengsnwings]

score ?

[NJ PHIN FAN]

damoen/menace go back to ridgemont high.

[Fin Fan]

I think Henne is coming along. It didn't help that Shawn Murphy got beat by a third round draft pick defensive lineman, who interrupted Henne's timing.

[Account Deleted]

Can't handlE elite speed?! WTF are you talking about the guy was a pro bowler in his first season and rarely got beat one on one by ANYONE. And to the guy who is judging Hennes future while he's playing with mostly 2nd and third stringers,,,,,,,,,,,, REALLY?

[Fin Fan]

I think Donald Thomas looks like a beast and Shawn Murphy is not nearly the same physical specimen. If Thomas stays healthy, he looks to be the better lineman hands down.

[Fin Fan]

By the way Mando, I think it was Murphy who got beat by Everret and not Long.

[sammo]

henne looks good to me so far.

[phinsfan6453]

Torbor is everywhere today

[Hayden Fox]

Joey Thomas is terrible...Remember the Rams game last year?

[Armando Salguero]

NJ: Quentin Moses!

[phinfan from birth73]

vonta davis is playing a heck of a game

[Fin Fan]

Wow!!! Look at Davis explode to the receiver.

[phinfan from birth73]

vonte looking real good

[sammo]

good hit by moses. nice tackle by davis

[Catch22NM]

go vontae!!

[Juliollanes]

Starting bontebok has given his confidence back
