Live blog of Preseason 2 begins here at 7:30

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.

[boulderfinfan]

[Mel]

they wanted to see the OL, Berger got stood up.

[jared]

should've done a play-action with Thigpen rolling out.

[tim stim]

i work with computers for a living

[Dolphins4Life1973]

outside of the second series of the game we hhave been running the same plays!! what game are you watching

[jaison biagini]

because it's the boring part of the game. most guys playing will be gone in 2 weeks, except for cobbs and one of the WR's.

[ALoco]

any one who doesn't buy an apple when he needs a computer is big BROWN DONKEY .

[dave]

nice pick

[superPHIN]

Nice pick

[Dolphins4Life1973]

hell of a pick

[beerphin]

so norton and macafee don't work then?

[ALoco]

most people work with computer for living are dumb geeks .

[jaison biagini]

you mean you work with pc's for a living i think.

[superPHIN]

Stop it dave---i dont need an echo*lol*

[Mel]

hobbs and amaya kick butt

[tim stim]

[tim stim]

yeah they are made by apple

[ALoco]

tim, you live in the past ,every thing is digital .in 2 years adobe will be gone as macafee and norton .jobs said it already ,we don't need adobe .

[jaison biagini]

norton and macaphee are a waste on money on a mac, but a very good idea with windows computers!! hackers don't even bother with macs. it's only about 8% of the market. that's why windows have updates twice a week.

[tony]

can we kill the Wildcat please!!! I f-ing hate it !!!! we dont need it anymore!!

[dave]

hey i said it first. hahaha

[superPHIN]

we definately need to tame it down alot in redzone situations tony, i agree, we've shown more effeciancy through conventional means.

[Mel]

tony, dont be a retard

[itsallabouttheu]

@ALoco: Macs don't get virus'? Are you sure about that? Final answer?

[tony]

Also think Grove is our starter... baring injury!

[jaison biagini]

aloco, jobs prefers web 2.0 to flash, adobe is still a great software company. one of the best! it will be around forever with photoshop, premiere, and other graphic and movie editing software. and virus software will also be around forever. until there is capital punishment for hacking anyway.

[Waterboy]

Quick Hits

Marshall can Catch
Henne is good to go
Penne is the best backup in the league
Carey is overweight
Tackling on ST is awful.
Vontae keeps getting burned. Hopefully Will Allen can show up to push him.
Media Darling Nolan Carroll looks like a pedestrian 5th rd pick
Flip a Coin on Turner, Pruit or Moore (Who is better on ST?)

[jared]

I think I would rather have 100 scorpions simultaneously stink me in the junk, instead of waiting for the regular season to start.

[Armando Salguero]

Ray Feinga (finger) return is questionable.

[superPHIN]

Ness needs to be more aggressive!!!

[McLovin]

why kill the wildcat, it gives us another dimension for Def to worry about, if it produces TDs throughout the season, then we should keep it, but it has to be the right mix, limit the call

[Waterboy]

Middle Finger?

[jared]

sting*

[Waterboy]

Nalboner made a nice helicopter move on that first down.

[ALoco]

jaison, that's what you think .adobe will be gone for good in 2 years and that in tec world like 20 years .

[superPHIN]

wow, we're looking at some true scrubs!!!

[test]

inside the 20...dont call the wild cat period.

[itsallabouttheu]

I Post Something and Wont Get A Refresh Until It Cycles And Every Response Is Irrelevent. This App = Epic Fail. Props For (the Lack Of A) Spell-check.

[tony]

Penne the best back up? his arm is terrible... he could lead a drive or two... but any D coordinator that had a week to prepare will double underneath and expose his noodle arm...stop being such a Homer!!...Nolan will be fine along with Ness....the fact Allen wasn't pushing him shows he doesn't suck... nicce overeaction... TARD !!

[ALoco]

SNL IS GOOD TONIGHT

[Test]

Just so you know, i don't hate the dolphins.
I'm just taking out my frustrations on them.
You see, i have no testies, so my estrogen levels are out of this world, and i have heavy flow 24/7..
Test is actually short for "testieless"

excuse me while i whine about good plays and fondle my moobs (that's man funbags, for those of you who are unenlightened)

Sincerely,
Testie-less moob-grabbing skirt

[Shawn]

I doesn't let you put a cheat code in harricane, it just has one option to search so I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about

[Armando Salguero]

Don't you guys want to see Pat White?

[Waterboy]

Come on Pat White. Strip on that giant helmet!

[beerphin]

might as well

[Waterboy]

Tony you are a tard and more of a homer to claim we will be OK with Ness and Carroll.
1 QTR wonders...

[carlito from golfito]

Swing away Pat White

[superPHIN]

Alright, i've seen enough good things and bad things to know their is still a ways to go--and say no to preseason overtime plz*PHIN OUT!!!

[Dman]

Pat White belongs in the Xfl.

[Armando Salguero]

Jack Del Rio obviously realizes I need to get back home because he failed to go for two points to tie the game -- even after going for the TD on fourth down.

[tony]

can someone explain what happened on the Mcown fumble?

[Shawn]

Hey Channing Crowder, don't you want to go by your real name Cuban Menace? That's the only poster who is so focused on the players looks so it has to be you right?
