This one has the feel of a big game so let's give you the big-boy news first:
Lydon Murtha starts at right tackle for an inactive Vernon Carey. Pat McQuistan continues to start at right guard. Rookie John Jerry will back up both players.
As I tweeted earlier and posted in the comments section of the last post, it makes more sense to go with a more experienced tackle such as Murtha than to move Jerry, who has not been good enough to keep his guard job, to right tackle and start him there. You don't promote and move a player to a new spot for the blitzing, changing Jets defense.
Look for the Jets to match Jason Taylor versus Murtha a lot today.
The only other lineup change for Miami today is Davone Bess starts for Brian Hartline, who is now on injured reserve.
The inactives for today are Nate Ness, Ikaika Alama-Francis, Matt Kopa, Vernon Carey, Eric Chiaciuc, Mickey Shuler, Ryan Baker, and Chris Baker.
We are blogging live from the New Meadowlands Stadium. Gotta tell you for $1.6 billion, this place is nice. But not that nice. It is mostly, just big. But personality?
Not so much.
Meet me in the comments sections for the live blog. I think I smelled a New York Jets collapse being cooked up at the tailgate while I was coming into the stadium.
Misi might be a player ...

D THOMAS, S MURPHY, J JERRY

Good call Ref!

Man you called it. Henne is just too slow and too unathletic. He cant avoid a pass rush and hes not smart enough to breakdown a defense...

Armando,
Whats game temperature there?
Posted by: DyingBreed | December 12, 2010 at 04:27 PM
I don't get excited when the ball gets deflected ... we're sure in hell NOT going to catch the damn thing!!!!!
Posted by: zaphod | December 12, 2010 at 04:27 PM
I don't hate our defense--but someone other than Wake has to start making some plays!!
Posted by: waning phin fan in NY | December 12, 2010 at 04:27 PM
nice p[lay design the saftey valve ran a two yard route on 3rd and 9.
Henne should have designed the play better.
Didn't matter max protect two receivers BOTH coverd.
Henne should have got separation for the receiver or just threw the pick,
Get a freaking clue DOLTS!
