We're blogging live from EverBank Field starting at 7:30 p.m.
Meet me in the comments section for that extravaganza.
Things to look for tonight:
Biggest issue -- The interior offensive line. It is time to settle on some guards, folks. I reported last week that Joe Berger has won the starting job at center. But LG Richie Incognito, RG John Jerry, Cory Procter, and Donald Thomas have been mixed and matched so much we really cannot say with certainty the starting combo for the season opener is set. Yes, Jerry is a favorite to win a job. Obviously Incognito is getting his chance as well. But tonight will go a long way in deciding whether they keep their advantage. One thing to know is the club is somewhat disappointed that Thomas has not improved sufficiently as he gets ready to start his third season. The former rookie sensation hasn't really progressed as much as they hoped.
Interesting Issue One -- Patrick Turner was impressive in last week's preseason opener. Can he be a factor two weeks in a row? If he can, I would tell you he will all but assure himself of a roster spot. I want to believe that Greg Camarillo is going to make this team based on his history, experience and dependability. But I want to see Turner and Marlon Moore push him.
Interesting Issue Two -- The kick return spot makes me wonder what's going on because, let's face it, the team doesn't really want Patrick Cobbs to win the job. The Dolphins want someone else to be their primary guy with Cobbs as an offset returner. So my eyes are on Nolan Carroll. It could be a big night for Carroll. He's from the Jacksonville area. He's fast, he's got a reputation for having good hands, and he's going to be on the team. Watch to see if he makes a case for winning the job tonight.
Late-game reason to watch: Nate Ness has opened the eyes of coaches and with Will Allen's status uncertain through the first week of the season, the team is hoping Ness follows a nice outing against Tampa Bay with a nice outing against the Jags. We shall see.
I'll update here with any pregame news. Right now, it is raining at the stadium. But at least there is no mud because, well, there is no baseball infield.
See you at the live blog.

"They have the toughest 8 games in NFL history"
1. Buffalo Least of the East
2. Minn. Tough
3. Jests swept last year
4. Pats we always give Brady fits, split last year
Bill, one word. PROZAC
If this is going to be a great team they need to beat good teams. I believe the NFL rated our schedule as a 17 in difficulty, not 1 as you suggest. Can you be anymore negative or what?? Call test and Brav, u guys should be best friends forever

Posted by: harricane | August 21, 2010 at 11:16 PM
I hope I didn't download a virus...I will not be happy. I heard more than one person recommend the site, so I assumed it was good.
Posted by: jared | August 21, 2010 at 11:16 PM
bobby that isnt negative its a fact, u only listed first 4. try these 8 to start: at buff, at minn, jets, pats, at gb, pitt, at cincy, at balt i challenge u to find a tougher 8 games to start. i didnt say overall schedule either, first 8. ill second 8 is quite easy actually. but those first 8 are brutal. 4-4 would be a solid showing

Posted by: TJ | August 21, 2010 at 11:17 PM

Posted by: Dolphins4Life1973 | August 21, 2010 at 11:20 PM
once again, mac, not pc. there is no malware or viruses that attack mac-os. i've used a mac for 20 years and never had any virus or security issues.
Posted by: jaison biagini | August 21, 2010 at 11:20 PM
me?
Posted by: tim stim | August 21, 2010 at 11:20 PM
I think we have a QB controversy here in Miami. For me Pennignton should be the starter. Henne just doesn't look ready yet
Posted by: Erocs8 | August 21, 2010 at 11:21 PM
I am also using firefox on my imac... no problems yet.
Posted by: jared | August 21, 2010 at 11:21 PM
Moore sighting
Posted by: superPHIN | August 21, 2010 at 11:21 PM
lame call, he got pushed into that hit. put skirts on QB's!!
Posted by: jaison biagini | August 21, 2010 at 11:22 PM
are u drunk, henne should easily be the starter.
Posted by: bill_cnnrs@yahoo.com | August 21, 2010 at 11:22 PM
Yea all I use if Firefox..got fed up with explorer a long long time ago.
Posted by: TJ | August 21, 2010 at 11:22 PM

Posted by: Jim in NYC | August 21, 2010 at 11:23 PM
marlon moore is a beast, we should trade camirillo if we can get something
Posted by: McLovin | August 21, 2010 at 11:23 PM
so how do i see the game?
Posted by: harricane | August 21, 2010 at 11:24 PM
jared, i wouldn't worry about a virus on an imac. that's what i'm using too. snow leopard is very secure. plus hackers don't bother with macs. windows is easy pickings.
Posted by: jaison biagini | August 21, 2010 at 11:24 PM
viruses on mac are worse than bird flu
Posted by: tim stim | August 21, 2010 at 11:25 PM
i too think camerillo is on the bubble. but no one is going to give a pick for him!!
Posted by: jaison biagini | August 21, 2010 at 11:26 PM
Turner-nice catch for first down
Posted by: superPHIN | August 21, 2010 at 11:26 PM

Posted by: jaison biagini | August 21, 2010 at 11:27 PM

Posted by: harricane | August 21, 2010 at 11:27 PM

Posted by: bill_cnnrs@yahoo.com | August 21, 2010 at 11:27 PM

Posted by: Dolphins4Life1973 | August 21, 2010 at 11:27 PM
Alright Tim,
I'm starting to think you're a 2watt!
Posted by: jared | August 21, 2010 at 11:28 PM
canarillo had 50 catches last year without a single drop. Most of his catches were for first down. Camarillo stays
