NASHVILLE -- It is cold and gray and I'm battling a cold, but we're still going to fire up the live blog prior to kickoff today.
Looking at this game, I see it as the most difficult one of the three left on Miami's schedule. The Titans have won 6 of 7 games. They are relatively healthy. And they are at home.
That doesn't mean if the Dolphins win today, they can cruise against Houston and Pittsburgh. But this is the big hurdle, in my humble opinion.
As I reported on my twitter page Saturday, Jake Grove traveled with the Dolphins for the first time since he suffered a high ankle sprain at Carolina. It is a pregame decision whether he'll be active or not. Joe Berger is scheduled to start at center anyway.
[Update: Grove is indeed active and Berger starts at center, as I reported Saturday. Nate Garner starts at right guard over Donald Thomas. The inactives are Tyler Thigpen as the third QB, Patrick Turner, Ikaika Alama-Francis, Kory Sheets, Evan Oglesby, Andrew Hartline, Andrew Gardner and Lionel Dotson.]
Vince Young is expected to play for the Titans despite his ankle injury.
Check back 90 minutes before kickoff for the inactives. And be here by kickoff for the live festivities.
When is Henning gonna take a shot....we need 2-3 deep pass plays a game we dont have enough to open the run for Ricky

Good job Rick!

If brown stayed healthy we would've had 2 1000 yarders
Posted by: NJ PHIN FAN | December 20, 2009 at 01:39 PM
I'm sick and tired of those short, 5 to 7 yd outs. This is ridiculous. Open up the stupid field Henne. You've got a QB with a cannon for an arm.
Posted by: FB | December 20, 2009 at 01:40 PM
I agree! Comback player for Ricky!
Posted by: Finatic | December 20, 2009 at 01:40 PM
I meant Henning. Sorry

Hey Mando, is Wake getting some considerable playing time thus far? How about Porter and JT?
Posted by: Jules | December 20, 2009 at 01:40 PM
Need long drives to keep Johnson on sidelines. That kid scares me like Barry Sanders.
Posted by: DyingBreed | December 20, 2009 at 01:41 PM
Yep, its time to air one out

Game over in the 2nd Qtr...unbelievable comment!
Posted by: pancanfinfan | December 20, 2009 at 02:05 PM
Good news is the dolphins are moving the ball at their will and the defense is making some stops. Bad news is 3 points wont cut it. Phins need to get in the endzone.
Posted by: pancanfinfan | December 20, 2009 at 02:06 PM
Great playcalling be Tenn
