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.
Bess muff. They should just let Ginn take the punts. All Bess does is fair catch anyway.

Ginn should be taking punts too
Posted by: Rdiorio75 | November 15, 2009 at 01:27 PM
Ted Ginnitis is contagious and BESS has got a case of it! Eye on the BALL
Posted by: nyfinfan | November 15, 2009 at 01:27 PM
Mando, how many fumbles is it going to take for us to relieve Bess of his duties? This is ridiculous. He's a waste of possession.
Posted by: FB | November 15, 2009 at 01:27 PM
WHY IS Bess still playing when he has dropped balls week after week, either on punts or as WR--- this guy needs a wakeup call...let Ginn return punts PLEASE- he has yet to drop any kicks.
Posted by: BigI | November 15, 2009 at 01:27 PM
Bess has butter fingers real bad.He needs to get that stick-um like Randy Moss uses.
Posted by: Beerndrums | November 15, 2009 at 01:27 PM
Yeah?? How many.

Trust me, acwalsh, the aclu has no juice on this blog.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 15, 2009 at 01:28 PM
He should be cut, seriously. He sucks!!!!!!
Posted by: FB | November 15, 2009 at 01:28 PM
Bess might need Lasik
Posted by: Tommya | November 15, 2009 at 01:28 PM
OK, what's the over-under on Dolphins rushing yardage today?
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 15, 2009 at 01:29 PM
Why are you giving Tortured the time of day?
The guy spends his time coming to this blog for no other reason than to get you riled up. Doing so only gives weight to his actions.
He is a douche fan of a douche team.
Posted by: LipsinToronto | November 15, 2009 at 01:29 PM
Two excellent questions thus far. Why is Bess still returning punts when all he does is drop them and fair catch and what the heck has Ginn done to promote himself back to a starter at WR?
Posted by: Jeff F, Long Island, NY | November 15, 2009 at 01:29 PM
Porter benched, Missed convert. Bess fumbles. Ginn drops. Penalties.
This team just gets better every doesn't it?
Give em a good cheerleading coach Sparano.
Posted by: TorturedDolphan | November 15, 2009 at 01:29 PM
Bess needs to be ripped by the coach on the sideline.
Posted by: FB | November 15, 2009 at 01:30 PM
So let me get this straight: Dolphins can run at will on the Bucs, but they pass on two out of three downs.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 15, 2009 at 01:30 PM
And another drop. Great job guys!
Posted by: FB | November 15, 2009 at 01:30 PM
Best again!!!!!!! Can anyone catch the ball????
Posted by: mgo268 | November 15, 2009 at 01:30 PM
bess catches that in stride he is off to races--cmon henne
Posted by: BigI | November 15, 2009 at 01:31 PM
That was a tough catch!!
Posted by: Chewyphins | November 15, 2009 at 01:31 PM
and muff the punt.
Posted by: LipsinToronto | November 15, 2009 at 01:31 PM
I don't have replay capabilties today. If Bess catches that is he home free?
Posted by: Jeff F, Long Island, NY | November 15, 2009 at 01:31 PM
horrible special teams today so far
Posted by: carlito from golfito | November 15, 2009 at 01:31 PM
WTF??? Fields has been money all year. What the hell was that???
Posted by: DMAN | November 15, 2009 at 01:31 PM
Now the special teams stink.
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | November 15, 2009 at 01:31 PM
See I disagree with our announcers. I think the Bess pass was more catchable thN Ginns
Posted by: Rdiorio75 | November 15, 2009 at 01:31 PM
Just run the ball 100%
Posted by: mgo268 | November 15, 2009 at 01:31 PM
Great coverage!!!
Posted by: Chewyphins | November 15, 2009 at 01:31 PM
Henne passes ain't so either.
Posted by: Finatic | November 15, 2009 at 01:32 PM
you guys are being ridiculous now---there is no way bess can catch that ball--it was awful throw...call em as they are
Posted by: BigI | November 15, 2009 at 01:32 PM
where is the focus? Special teams has been anything but special so far, hope they don't cost us much today .
Posted by: nyfinfan | November 15, 2009 at 01:32 PM
YAAAAAAA
Posted by: LipsinToronto | November 15, 2009 at 01:32 PM

BWAAHHAHHHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHA
Posted by: TorturedDolphan | November 15, 2009 at 01:33 PM
Stop throwing the ball to ginn!
Posted by: CMDeOro | November 15, 2009 at 01:33 PM
Why don't they run the ball?
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 15, 2009 at 01:33 PM
Missed the block on the right side.
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | November 15, 2009 at 01:33 PM
rdiorio--you are way off on your football perception..the throw to ginn was a pretty easy catch if he doesnt slow down
Posted by: BigI | November 15, 2009 at 01:33 PM
Armando,
Why not let Henne work on passing the ball while we are playing a crappy team? We know we can run it, lets give henne an oppurtunity to pass.
Posted by: jared | November 15, 2009 at 01:33 PM
Bonamego has got to go after this season. Our special teams are horrendous.
Posted by: Brian in NJ | November 15, 2009 at 01:33 PM
WOW
Look at the massive crowd at Crap Shark Stadium. Looks like most of the fans in SOFLA has figured out what frauds the trifecta are.
SACK SACK SACK SACK !!!!!!!!!!
Great work keep throwing the ball guys!!!
Posted by: TorturedDolphan | November 15, 2009 at 01:34 PM
Ginn wouldve dropped it anyway
Posted by: Jeff F, Long Island, NY | November 15, 2009 at 01:34 PM
Key word "down by 4"
Posted by: Chewyphins | November 15, 2009 at 01:34 PM
We can't block, we can't catch, what else do you want?
Posted by: FB | November 15, 2009 at 01:34 PM
Mando, in this game the receivers are getting open but Henne touch on the deep ball needs improvement!
Posted by: Orange County | November 15, 2009 at 01:34 PM
Playcalling
Posted by: Dishpan | November 15, 2009 at 01:34 PM
I was thinking the same thing.

The Ginn pass sucked because while it was on his finger tips, he slowed down right before the ball arrived.
The Bess pass had some heat, but they should make some of those.. we make none of them.
Posted by: LipsinToronto | November 15, 2009 at 01:34 PM
Wrong gin was covered. He was slowed down.
Posted by: Rdiorio75 | November 15, 2009 at 01:35 PM
why arent we just smashing these guys on the ground--whats with all this passing/ trickery running??
Posted by: BigI | November 15, 2009 at 01:35 PM
Can anyone say playing down to your competition?
Posted by: nyfinfan | November 15, 2009 at 01:35 PM
Run the damn ball.
Posted by: Wayne Fontes | November 15, 2009 at 01:35 PM
Hahaha, Jeff sad but true he wouldn't have caught it.
Posted by: jared | November 15, 2009 at 01:35 PM
