Live blog today of Ravens vs. Dolphins

We know the Dolphins have issues scoring touchdowns this season.

The QB play of Chad Henne has played a role in that.

The TE play of Anthony Fasano has played a role in that.

The lack of a consistent running game -- by everyone involved and assigned to that part of the offense -- has played a role in that.

But do the Dolphins have a problem with scoring touchdowns?

There is a difference between an issue and a problem, folks. An issue can show itself for a few weeks and basically resolve itself with improved play or improved play-calling or improved, well, everything. A problem is defined as something that cannot be addressed until you have better players or different coaches.

If the Dolphins can get past the issue they've had scoring TDs the past few weeks, we can move on. If the issues show themselves to be a problem that lead, in part at least, to a defeat here in Baltimore, then we're headed for trouble.

Of, course, there will be a live blog today as the Dolphins take on the Ravens. Donte' Stallworth is expected to be active today as the Ravens try to overcome their recent problems (lack of speed) with the Cover 2.

[UPDATE: Today's inactives are Marlon Moore, Reshad Jones, Nate Ness, Clifton Geathers, Patrick Brown, Lydon Murtha and Mikey Shuler. Tyler Thigpen is the third QB.

[The lineup change of note is Sean Smith starting for Jason Allen.]

Darryl,

I had major problems with AT&T and they were complete jerks about it, so without my iphone I wasnt using the app. Glad to be back on a Sunday with the Fins playing. This is one of the 4 games we are going to play that we need to win at least 2 if we are going to win 11 games. And 10 will not cut it this year. If we can get one of those wins out of this way it would be great.

Awesome HD feed

[Armando Salguero]

Dave, you are correct. Dolphins plan is to bust out some Roberto Wallace. We shall see if the plan comes to pass.

[Marc]

Mandy, I didn't see Jesus on the inactive list. Can you confirm he's starting with the team today?

[cowkilla]

They need to send Dierdorff to the same island they sent Kornheiser to...then they can live happily ever after with eachother...

[cowkilla]

Wallace will use that big body today...he gets a TD today as well

[dave]

for all the flack crowder has taken i believe our D is better with him in there.

[Marc]

Dang...

[Armando Salguero]

The Ravens have the bigtime TE advantage today, no?

[cowkilla]

Good job on that run dee-fense!

Naked screen to the TE. Henning's not that creative.

[popncaps551]

leaning backwards

[dave]

why does our D always start so slow?

[Marc]

Old guy almost scored...

[Armando Salguero]

Can Chris Clemons never catch a football?

[DyingBreed]

Clemons 2nd official pass defense

[dave]

crap that was freaking terrible

[KBrad]

missed tackles

[REDSHIRT COMMIE]

BURNED

[DyingBreed]

Clemons couldnt make the saving tackle.

[Po White Trash]

Nice tackle...........

[popncaps551]

tackling is not good. its not cold

[Marc]

Chris Clemmons apparently can't tackle either...ALong with the rest of the team...

Cam Cameron 1
Mike Nolan 0

[REDSHIRT COMMIE]

OWNED

[zaphod]

First time Ravens have scored on opening drive. This does NOT bode well for the Phins.

[Armando Salguero]

A screen pass should never go for 32 yards without missed tackle. Two of them on that screen -- Clemons, Bell.

[jlwesq]

i didnt realize we play two hand touch

[dave]

wish clemmons would have cought that int

[jamesc]

thats wat we said against cincy last week it also was there first opening td

[Jay-Mo]

Man, McGahee looked slow ... and the Fins defense looked slower, gammit!

[DyingBreed]

Still have yet to see Chris Clemons 4.3 40yd speed be any advantage!

[jesus]

what we cant tackle now???

[Jimmy Jam]

B 31, M 13.

That Ravens TD was a pathetic show of D on our part. Wow.

[REDSHIRT COMMIE]

AWFUL

[stonecld33]

thats was a fast 7

[bobbyd12]

nice tackling, jeez

[Earl]

I'm sensing blowout

[Ironside]

Poor defensive effort on the opening drive.
Come on Phins, break bad!

[jlwesq]

we r so good we like to spot teams 7

[zaphod]

Yeah, are we going to catch those interceptions today? Or just drop them and look like we've done something amazing by breaking up a pass play?

[Armando Salguero]

That's the first time the Ravens have scored a TD on the opening drive this season.

[SoiledBottom]

Save us Dan Carpenter..save us

[wickedtexan]

/sigh

[jamesc]

man we gotta grab the ints while we can

[Yo Yo Ma]

The Ravens look like the Colts out there.

[REDSHIRT COMMIE]

GONNA BE HIGH SCORE GAME

FINS RETALIATE FIRST PLAY TD TO MARSHALL

[stonecld33]

3 and out for us. run run pass to fullback

[dave]

we should take the ball when we win the toss. then we arent behind on the first drive

[Earl]

42-6 is my guess

[Jay-Mo]

Great, Carpenter is going to have to kick 10 field goals today!

[stonecld33]

3 drives to get the lead back with fg

[SoiledBottom]

Coach Sparano scene warming up his fistpump

[zaphod]

We make everyone look like the Colts early. What's up with our defense?

[dave]

come on O 7 points
