There will be a live blog right here and, yes, starting right now. Go to the comments section and that is where you'll be able to comment on the goings-on of today's game versus the Texans. I'll be right there with you.
The inactives are out: Roberto Wallace, Chris Clemons, Charles Clay, Ike Alama-Francis, Ryan Cook, Tony McDaniel, Will Yeatman.
What it means: Lex Hilliard starts at FB for Clay, whose NFL career will have to wait at least another week. Reshad Jones starts at free safety for the second week in a row. Marlon Moore is active for the first time this season.
The matchup I'm most worried about? Mario Williams vs. Marc Colombo and Co.:
Williams is probably the best pass-rusher the Dolphins will face this season. He is playing a position that DeMarcus Ware and Bryce Paup turned into stars or bigger stars as soon as they started working under under Wade Phillips. Phillips is the new defensive coordinator in Houston. The Dolphins must, must, must help Colombo with either a tight end or a back on passing downs.
The matchup I like most for the Dolphins?
Brandon Marshall vs. Kareem Jackson: Marshall seems more than ready for a big season. He had a fine game last week. He seems to be on the same page with quarterback Chad Henne. And the Houston defensive backfield, although remade for this season, is still suspect until proven otherwise.
The Dolphins are wearing their white jerseys and white pants today. Looks sharp.
See you in the comments section.
No Marc...we've lost every game!

Ten minutes before kickoff and this stadium looks barely 1/4 full.

Touchdown MIAMI
Stadium sings together :
(Chorus)
Respect, walk
Run your mouth when I'm not around
It's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize
Can you hear the violins playing your song?
Those same friends tell me your every word
(Pre)
(Chorus)
Are you talking to me?
No way punk

Watching the Texans run is like watching the Broncos of 1998-99-2000 run the ball. Same system, same principles. Scary.

SEan Smith comes with a corner blitz from the right side. Schaub play fakes left runs right and Smith bought the fake totally.
Schaub was out on the edge all by himself to find an open WR.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 18, 2011 at 04:21 PM
From what Im reading the defense still sux!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: DyingBreed | September 18, 2011 at 04:21 PM
I may have been mistaken about the Defense

Poor tackling and poor coverage.
The season is over folks.
Posted by: FormFactor | September 18, 2011 at 04:22 PM
Dolphins missed opportunity for two sacks on third down. Schaub incomplete anyway.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 18, 2011 at 04:22 PM
Our defense right now is the worst in the league!!! And than TS is such a idiot that he differ the the ball first!!
