Calvin Pace hated on the Dolphins. Then the Dolphins, led by Channing Crowder, hated on Calvin Pace. And now Calvin Pace is backpedaling as if he's a Pro Bowl cornerback.
If you need to get caught up on what I'm talking about, simply scroll down to the post below this one. If you're up to date, you should know that today Pace kinda, sorta regretted he called out the Dolphins after they whupped Pace and his New York Jets teammates, 31-27 on Monday night.
Pace today was asked if he regretted calling Chad Henne a "second-year clown quarterback," and saying the Dolphins Wildcat package is "nonsense."
"That's how I feel," Pace said. "When you play defense, you would love to have someone just come out and run conventional stuff. It is a conventional offense just lined up a different way.
"I said some thing and I definitely should have thought about it and re-phrased it a little bit. I respect the Dolphins. They beat us. It's not like they went out there and stole the game from us. They were efficient. They ran the ball and they made plays when they had to.
"I tip my hat to them. But we've got another chance to play them and hopefully the outcome is going to be different."
I know this outcome won't change. And that's the beauty of tonight's live blog of the NFL Network's re-air of the Dolphins vs. Jets. I predict the Dolphins will win. I predict we'll have fun discussing the plays as they happen -- again.
I predict I'll have a couple of cold beverages as I watch and type, which could get kind of interesting if you know what I mean.
Again, the game is on NFL Network. And it, plus the live blog here, start at 8 p.m.
Ronnie the Rabid Beast and RIcky the Rhino are great combo

How long is porter signed for?

Carlto , i see you right now , wave at me. :)
Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | October 14, 2009 at 08:29 PM
looking at the game in a calmer state, the jets ran pretty good on us
Posted by: cesar | October 14, 2009 at 08:29 PM
Turd, I talked to Clemons and he told me he's going to be stealing interceptions left and right when he gets in the game.
But then I asked him what he precisely he needs to do to get in the game and he didn't really have an answer. To me, a guy's gotta know what he needs to improve on to make the corrections and adjustments. I doubt he starts anytime soon.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 14, 2009 at 08:29 PM
yes i would trade joey for a 3. what is roth's status by the way?
Posted by: smirish | October 14, 2009 at 08:29 PM
Trade Porter in a heartbeat. Look how much cap space that would free up given that massive guarantee'd contract he got.
He just does not seem to be the same player as last year, does not come up big when we need him most, and Wake filled in admirably as a pass rusher. With Roth back and healthy, and Wake playing pass downs, Porter would not be missed.

Did Jenkins look a little early or he that quick?
Posted by: Jaybo 1354 | October 14, 2009 at 08:29 PM
I'd trade Porter for a third rounder in a heartbeat...
Posted by: Tommya | October 14, 2009 at 08:30 PM
Yes. I don't think anyone will, he doesn't seem to be the presence he once was. Let Wake and Anderson and Roth when he comes back get the snaps.
Posted by: Turd Ferguson | October 14, 2009 at 08:30 PM
Upper managment please bring A. Boldin. Armondo do u think this can happen?
Posted by: Dolphins84d | October 14, 2009 at 08:30 PM
Armando, seeing how the Dolphins struggled a little with Leon Washington, what are you hearing in regards to getting Matt Roth involved once he can be active, as in to stop the run.?
Posted by: arg | October 14, 2009 at 08:30 PM
Roth is a different dude. He was talking today and did not know he is able to start practicing next Monday.
He thought he had to sit out six GAMES and not six WEEKS.
He will not be performing brain surgery on anyone anytime soon.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 14, 2009 at 08:31 PM
Still say the Pat White pick was frivolous. We should of traded up to get Rey Maualuga, then put Crowder back outside.
Posted by: Po White Trash | October 14, 2009 at 08:31 PM
i've haerd philly is going to put kevin curtis on the trading block. think their will br any interests from the fins?

Here comes stupid gimmick fake punt number 2.... nonsense... randy starks had him
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 14, 2009 at 08:32 PM

Posted by: lou | October 14, 2009 at 08:32 PM
talk about gimmicks
Posted by: cesar | October 14, 2009 at 08:32 PM
i would trade porter for a 3rd,
Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | October 14, 2009 at 08:32 PM
That play is why I'd trade Porter
Posted by: Tommya | October 14, 2009 at 08:32 PM
Aloco, you stupid or just big chiste?
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 14, 2009 at 08:32 PM
Dolphins84d, I know the Dolphins love Boldin, respect him a lot.
But they worry about his health, his contract demand, and the fact he would cost a second rounder plus other considerations.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 14, 2009 at 08:33 PM
Tony translation:
When he says it's about execution he means some player didn't make the play. Just won't say it that way.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 14, 2009 at 08:33 PM
J Lo looks bored
Posted by: Jaybo 1354 | October 14, 2009 at 08:34 PM
David Clowney is the real Clown
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 14, 2009 at 08:34 PM
I think Culver has better cover ability and ball skills than Wilson. I'd be nervous with Clemons starting and not being weened into games like Davis was at CB.
Posted by: Turd Ferguson | October 14, 2009 at 08:34 PM
Funny that LoLa from the Bronx is owning part of the Dolphins and rooting against the Jets.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 14, 2009 at 08:34 PM
Armando,
most teams blitz a young QB, especially inside the 20. Miami seems to blitz very little. Especially corner and safety bliz concepts.....Is that the current philosphy?
Posted by: arg | October 14, 2009 at 08:34 PM
I'd trade Porter for an ILB.
Posted by: Po White Trash | October 14, 2009 at 08:35 PM
Dolphins have no business letting them get another field goal before half. When that happen 13-10, I say, "this feel just like colts game..."
Then Henne the Hero stepped back in building
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 14, 2009 at 08:35 PM
For a safety
Posted by: KillerDolphins | October 14, 2009 at 08:36 PM
Po, Dolphins had off-field concerns about Maualuga. Let's just say he likes to stay well hydrated.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 14, 2009 at 08:36 PM
Armando,
Please confirm for the haters that I am no Cuban Menace.
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 14, 2009 at 08:36 PM
Absolutely trade porter if you have a suitor. Let Anderson and Wake and Roth get the snaps. What would his cap hit be for a team that trades for him??
Posted by: Turd Ferguson | October 14, 2009 at 08:37 PM
The best stat on the Monday night game was 0 sacks.Especially for as many blitzes the Jets were bringing give it up for the O-line
Posted by: Finsncanes66 | October 14, 2009 at 08:37 PM
Did not know that.
Posted by: Po White Trash | October 14, 2009 at 08:37 PM
We need safeties badly
Posted by: KillerDolphins | October 14, 2009 at 08:37 PM
I also like to stay well hydrated with Imperial Beers
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 14, 2009 at 08:37 PM
mando,
you think the cardinals would consider for porter and a pick and/or receiver for boldin??
Posted by: cesar | October 14, 2009 at 08:37 PM
Folks, I can see your web addresses and Carlito is not Cuban Menace. And I am not Cuban Menace.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 14, 2009 at 08:37 PM
Thank you Armando!!!!!
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 14, 2009 at 08:37 PM
Jenkins was a beast in this game
Posted by: Tommya | October 14, 2009 at 08:38 PM
Theirs two carlitos
Posted by: KillerDolphins | October 14, 2009 at 08:38 PM
Can't believe we gave them the ball back and let them get another fg before half!
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 14, 2009 at 08:38 PM
arg, Pasqualoni believes he can get to the QB with his base rushers and rarely uses blitzes -- maybe only 20 percent.
Been that way since he got here, which is last year.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 14, 2009 at 08:39 PM
Meet the evil one last night
Posted by: KillerDolphins | October 14, 2009 at 08:39 PM
Killer,
I am the O.G. Carlito. We cool...
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 14, 2009 at 08:39 PM
I would trade Porter for a third.
Armando Henne did miss Fasano on what look to be a touch pass. Henne hesitated not knowing if he should have gunned it or take something off.
But that one to Camarillo was perfect!
If he nails those more often than not we are gonna be hard to stop.
Posted by: Dolphins4life | October 14, 2009 at 08:40 PM
Offense looked great the last 2 weeks. But let's all be serious I don't see us going deep into the playoff's with the way the defense is playing. Just a thought..... We need TURNOVERS!
Posted by: Dolphins84d | October 14, 2009 at 08:40 PM
And Chucky Gruden is a really good addition to the Monday night team imo.
Posted by: Tommya | October 14, 2009 at 08:40 PM
Don't think so Cesar.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 14, 2009 at 08:40 PM
Will Allen: bad game, good game, bad game
Posted by: Turd Ferguson | October 14, 2009 at 08:40 PM
A lil late, but I say blitze a lil more

Thanks bud

anybody noticed all they talked about was how good sancheeeeez is
Posted by: lou | October 14, 2009 at 08:41 PM
Chucky is awesome. Plus Madden was an a-hole.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 14, 2009 at 08:41 PM
NJ,
You owe me apology. We don't have to be friend, but you have to admit you wrong about me being Cuban Menace!
Posted by: carlito from golfito | October 14, 2009 at 08:41 PM
Dolphins84d,
I think the defense will improve as the season goes on.... and I think getting Roth back will be huge.
