The Dolphins will be without three starters today -- tight end Anthony Fasano, left guard Justin Smiley and outside linebacker Joey Porter -- and will be juggling the lineup more than any other time this regular season.
As Joey Haynos now becomes the starting tight end, Charlie Anderson replaces Porter, and Nate Garner replaces Smiley, the Dolphins are also promoting Ted Ginn Jr. back into the starting lineup.
The starting receivers will be Greg Camarillo and Ginn, according to the club.
The complete list of inactives is: Kory Sheets, Erik Walden, Porter, Smiley, Fasano and Paul Soliai, who has an ankle injury.
Note that Patrick Turner will be active for the first time this season.
Anyway, the live blog will take place in the comments section below.
Go Phins!

CBS said Porter was out because he went out friday night. Wasn't showing focus. I like this move from Sparano and the no-dominos rule, its time to do work son!
Posted by: Andrew | November 15, 2009 at 12:16 PM
I like how Omar Kelly says that the team was not focused this week, but the lead story in the Herald is how Darlington viewed the team as ready to go along with the head coach.
BTW, why the heck is Charlie Anderson starting? Move JT over and play Roth who is a great run stopper.

hopefully for this game we'll less wildcat and more of Henne running the show undisrupted.

NOOOOO NOT TED(ALLiGATOR ARMS)GINN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: cuban menace | November 15, 2009 at 12:19 PM
Think we might see Pat White play well today.
Posted by: Tommya | November 15, 2009 at 12:19 PM
How many drops does this idiot get till they shelve him???
Posted by: cuban menace | November 15, 2009 at 12:20 PM
I'm sure Teddy is working his way off Henne go to list, so almost the same effect.
Posted by: dolfanSF | November 15, 2009 at 12:21 PM
cuban menace,
they'll never put Ginn on the shelf this year. he's the only guy keeping the defense half honest... even if he's only a decoy.
Posted by: Tommya | November 15, 2009 at 12:24 PM
pat turner time
Posted by: smirish | November 15, 2009 at 12:26 PM
Tommy , Maybe i should have said put him only on K.O returns, maybe turner has speed, not sure but all i know is my girl friend(who is not a football fan) keeps wondering why they keep him as wide out....
Posted by: cuban menace | November 15, 2009 at 12:29 PM
Go Patrick Turner! Please show that you are a gamer and your size is bigger asset than Dolphins other wr!!!!!!!!!
This is going to be my first home game this year where I am not at the stadium.
Posted by: carlito from golfito | November 15, 2009 at 12:30 PM
I agree, why is Roth and JT not starting? With Anderson and Wake the slb and wlb backups?
Posted by: RaptorsPhins fan | November 15, 2009 at 12:36 PM
OK guys enjoy the game, talk to you all later..
Posted by: cuban menace | November 15, 2009 at 12:39 PM
I am glad Porter is not playing today. He is just not that good anymore. 12 tackles and 2.5 sacks from that position is embarrassing.
Posted by: Fake GM | November 15, 2009 at 12:40 PM
20 minutes til game time! I have a good feeling. I want Turner to impress all and show up our WR's
Posted by: Bstll1316 | November 15, 2009 at 12:42 PM
I went to surfing again today and was assured of Dolphins win once again by Neptune. Players that stand out will be
1. Vontae Davis
2. Cameron Wake
3. Ronnie Brown.

Mando. Are the Yuks wearing their Creamsicle's again?
Posted by: Randthefin | November 15, 2009 at 12:47 PM
hopefully we'll see a few more down field passes from Henne, particularly to a streaking T Ginn.
Posted by: dolfanSF | November 15, 2009 at 12:48 PM
anyone got a stream to the game?
Posted by: foolio | November 15, 2009 at 12:48 PM
Hopefully we'll just see Chad Henne and not Pat ********* White, winds me right up!!!

Where are all the usual suspects?

No Smiley hurts more than anything !
Posted by: thejuandiggler | November 15, 2009 at 12:54 PM
Dont expect Turner to win the game people! There's a reason he can't get on the field with four others on the team. Bess Ginn Harline and Camarillo beat him every week.

Interesting. Shawn Murphy went to the Bucs...Inactive today though. Maybe some WildCat insights?
Posted by: Ron In Charlotte | November 15, 2009 at 12:56 PM
I'm here.
the Bucs are wearing the pewter again.
I'm stunned Ginn earned his job back after dropping two passes last week. Nice job if you can get it.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 15, 2009 at 12:57 PM
Looks like Porter was scratched for Turner, huh?
Hopefully Wake gets a lot more reps this game, even though he's not starting.
I like that Camarillo is starting, he's our most reliable WR.
I also expect to see more Pat White.
Run Ricky Run
Posted by: Nick | November 15, 2009 at 12:57 PM
Mando,
Maybe there's something about the Bucs defense that makes Ginn get the start today?
Posted by: Tommya | November 15, 2009 at 12:59 PM
Armando,
How much playing time if any do you think Pat Turner the slow learner (had to think of something besides burner) going to get? Lets hope he is a gamer!

Yeah, Tommya, they're bad. Time to build stats.

Dolphins to kick off.

Bucs out to 46 yard line. Terrible start for the Dolphins special teams.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 15, 2009 at 01:03 PM
Once again a short kickoff...easy free yards when we cannot kick the ball past the ten yard line...WTF?
Posted by: Indiana Dolfan | November 15, 2009 at 01:04 PM
who missed that tackle on the kick off?
Posted by: carlito from golfito | November 15, 2009 at 01:04 PM
Should have wrapped up, Mando.
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | November 15, 2009 at 01:04 PM
That should have been a sack, but instead it's a facemask.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 15, 2009 at 01:05 PM
Mix in a tackle, please.
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | November 15, 2009 at 01:05 PM
awesome
Posted by: carlito from golfito | November 15, 2009 at 01:05 PM
Anybody want Porter?
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | November 15, 2009 at 01:05 PM
Out of his first drop you can see Freeman holds the ball too long.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 15, 2009 at 01:06 PM
who missed the tackle on the kickoff?
Posted by: carlito from golfito | November 15, 2009 at 01:06 PM
I so pi$$ed at watching the tackling right now.
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | November 15, 2009 at 01:06 PM
No not yet.
Posted by: Finatic | November 15, 2009 at 01:06 PM
I love it when the officials leave their mikes on.
Ref just told the lineman to be careful holding.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 15, 2009 at 01:07 PM
Would be nice to see Wake get more PT now that loud mouth is on the bench. I'm sure that JP will be gone before next season....
Posted by: el guru | November 15, 2009 at 01:07 PM
This looks to be Miami's first shutout of the season if the special teams and offense don't give up points.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 15, 2009 at 01:07 PM
WTF is up with out ST's unit???
Posted by: el guru | November 15, 2009 at 01:08 PM
Jax scores at ease over jetsys. LOL
Posted by: Randthefin | November 15, 2009 at 01:08 PM
Would you believe ... the Dolphins will keep the Bucs out of the end zone?
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 15, 2009 at 01:08 PM
Go jags!!!
Posted by: Chewyphins | November 15, 2009 at 01:09 PM
Terrible defense AGAIN...
Mando, when will you guys start calling out Pasquoloni!
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | November 15, 2009 at 01:09 PM
thanks for the links !!!
I'm stuck in Dallas and only get skins/cowboy games......

Jesys are done for the year... Dirty sancho is playing like an average rookie QB now.
Posted by: el guru | November 15, 2009 at 01:09 PM
HERE COME THE BUCS
BWAAAHAHAHAHAHA
Posted by: TorturedDolphan | November 15, 2009 at 01:10 PM
That facemask was Porter's replacement and everyone has wanted Porter to be benched all week. You all got your wish and that just costed us points...
