Live blog of Dolphins vs. Dallas junior varsity

Let's start with the strange stuff first: Earlier today I was accused by another journalist on his twitter feed of exposing my source when I posted back-to-back blog items that included general manager Jeff Ireland -- the first post on the fact he would look for Dez Bryant today, the second on him asking me if I had my 53-man roster.

I wrote in the first post that Ireland did not want to discuss the Bryant matter. In today's post I said he asked me for my 53-man roster. These are two separate issues. Indeed, Ireland would not talk to me about Dez and then we talked about other things, among them his comment about my 53-man roster.

The journalist for the Palm Beach Post seemed to make the leap that because Ireland talked to me about the 53-man roster, he must have talked to me about Bryant. Not accurate. I have addressed the matter with this journalist and he has apologized, so the matter is closed far as I'm concerned.

Now onto tonight:

There is a live blog. I'm having some technical issues, but we shall plow on.

For the Dolphins, Vontae Davis will not play. I do not know the exact reason for this. He has been practicing. I'm told he did not break any team rules. So we'll find out after the game. Jason Allen will start in his place.

Rookie Micah Johnson will get his big chance tonight at inside linebacker. He will start for the injured Channing Crowder.

For the Cowboys, most of the starter will not play!

Tony Romo, Marion Barber, Roy Williams, Doug Gree, Leonard Davis, Andre Gurode, Miles Austin, Jay Ratliff, Keith Brooking, DeMarcus Ware, Mike Jenkins, Anthony Spencer, Jason Witten, Felix Jones and Terence Newman will not play.

So the Dolphins had better kick some butt, especially when their first-team players are on the field.

Meet me in the comments section.

OK. Armando I hear you. Peace. You do a great job.

[mntmanfinfan]

You're the only one losing faith Snake

[TommyA]

Mando,

Maybe Vontae isn't playing because he's proven he's ready for Week 1, AND he has a slight chest injury that they don't want to aggravate.

[Home]

Hope he has a good night as always menace, but
Does Not Like CB sean at all on his team

liability

snake
refresh press f5

Nice tackle Wake!

[Snake Pliskin]

question on SLB Almama-Francis how is he going to cover top notch TE's at his 275 lbs body???

[Armando Salguero]

tommya, good call.

[dishpan]

Armando, love that attitude. Nothing about this squad should bore us. Except for the boring playcalling ... pre or regular season.

[Home]

WIDE OPEN bad throw

[twyger]

Snake Pliskin: "is it me or am I the only one losing faith in this TRIFECTA."

It's just you.

How any Dolphins fan can look back over the regimes of Cameron, Saban, Wannstedt, Johnson, and even some of the career of Don Shula... and then complain about the current regimes talent acquisition - is mind boggling to me.

[Yazzi]

Koa Misi looks like he's lost some weight...That worries me a little because most of what he lost was muscle-mass.

He's one of those guys who has to constantly eat to stay heavy and be effective.

[Mike W]

3 and out
kickoff up to only 14 yd ln

[Snake Pliskin]

guys do the FINS need 6 PRESEASON games to GEL

[Home]

Simply The Bess

[Armando Salguero]

Dolphins avoid the embarrassment of not picking upa first down on their first drive.

[Home]

Nice 5 yds RB
Good Push

[gman3586]

Here We Gooooo!

[Home]

Wildcat Nowhere

[Snake Pliskin]

Armando this is the 1st string OLINE and 2/3rd defense RIGHT.....AND WE SITLL can't open any holes right???

thank God we still have a few more pre-season games

[SoiledBottom]

we cant live on Devon bess

[Home]

Simply The Bess wide open for 18 yds

[Armando Salguero]

At least henne is locked in with Bess. Now all he needs to do is figure out where Brandon Marshall is all the time.

[Arnsybill]

Ronnie's solid... now get him out of there before he gets hurt.

[beerphin]

hd on justintv now

[acwalsh8]

the p2p/firstrow feed is horrible.

anyone have anything better to offer?

[TommyA]

Yazzi,

I think Koa Misi's future is at ILB. His body type and skill set fit ILB better than SOLB, in my opinion.

[Armando Salguero]

The upside of no one being open: Henne has to look all over the field instead of locking onto one guy.

[Home]

Henne gettin in the groove, Now

[Arnsybill]

How is John Jerry grading out so far this preseason?

[Eric]

Henne still sucks.

[Mike W]

why is rick and ronnie in there? Coach dont think THEY are ready? Ridiclious

[redsky]

They look good so far against Dallas High JV!

[Home]

Henne threw it behind a bit of a float to Marshall in the endzone

incomplete and now incomplete again

field goal Carpenter 29 yds

3-0 Fins!

[Po White Trash]

So far so good!

[Zach]

hopefully Brandon Marshall isnt trying as hard because its just preseason

[seabass23]

henne does not look good this preseason

[Armando Salguero]

Jason Allen just fell down on a kick return tackle attempt. Gave up six more yards.

[Home]

34 yd return cowboys

"The Hill" with crunching take down

[Lou]

Can't watch from where I am at, trying to get an appropriate gauge on Henne. Can I get something more constructive than "Henne sucks"?

Armando, thoughts?

[Marc]

Much better link here, it's the Cowboys announcers though

[gcfan79]

We Look Like Crap Against Their Bench!

[Armando Salguero]

Dolphins starting D still in the game.

[Home]

Good Evening Armando

Did U see the Reptilian Leader Jerry in Da House?

[TommyA]

Henne plays like he's on an ice rink with fire ants in his pants. Watching him play makes my blood pressure go through the roof from the stress.

Kinda like trying to get life saving information out of a person that can't stop stuttering. FRUSTRATING!

[BennyV]

Where is Wake? The pass rush makes me nervous

[Home]

3rd string QB for Dallas

Miami should produce or they suck

penalty false start Dallas

[hennegivenmonday]

henne just looks out of sync at times. you have to hit on tjose gimme situations like when a guy is wide opem

[Eric]

we're getting spanked by the backups.

[Po White Trash]

Lost the link, any new link please

[Dolphins4Life]

we will be very stout vs the run! nice hustle by odrick!

[Armando Salguero]

Chad Pennington starting to warm up. When/if defense gets off the field, looks like he's in at QB.

Henne looks like he's done.

[Home]

Huge pass 33 for Dallas odrick makes the tackle finally

Sapp put a lick on QB

[BennyV]
