You know Ryan Tannehill will start at quarterback tonight. You know we have a live blog starting at the 8:07 kickoff. Do you know the inactives? Do you know Tannehill is not the only significant rookie starting his first game for Miami?
Let's get caught up:
Cameron Wake (back), Karlos Dansby (knee), Kevin Burnett (back), Eric Steinbach (knee), David Garrard (knee), Tony McDaniel (leg), Jonas Gray (knee), Brian Hartline (calf), and Kelcie McCray (foot) are out.
Rookie Olivier Vernon starts for Wake. Gary Guyton and Jason Trusnik start for Dansby and Burnett.
Interestingly, Artis Hicks is scheduled to play. He missed a couple of days of practice with an unknown injury. So much for the much expected competition between him and Steinbach.
I don't think Tannehill looks anything like Henne. He seems more fluid. Much less polished however.

Posted by: Drew | August 17, 2012 at 08:38 PM
Nice job by T-hill getting it away.
Posted by: Jon | August 17, 2012 at 08:38 PM
Way to help your rookie QB out, Fasano.
Posted by: HelloIt'sMe | August 17, 2012 at 08:38 PM
Two things in this suckfest: 1. Panthers blow it second half, so we won't see that, so that sucks. 2. Luke keuchly is going to be a stud, I've said it since two years before draft. He slayed the hurricanes
Posted by: inimounts | August 17, 2012 at 08:39 PM
Whats the score?
Posted by: Kris | August 17, 2012 at 08:39 PM
this deffense is suppoused to be our strongest point this season??.. please!!
starters have surrender 4 scoring drives in 4 chances...
And this kid tannenhill, watches all the time his first option...
its not the same to play against 2nd or 3rd stringers than starters right!?... 100+ rating, yeah right!
Posted by: sagneul | August 17, 2012 at 08:39 PM
we cant pick up a first down so can we force a punt please...*lol*
Posted by: superPHIN | August 17, 2012 at 08:39 PM
EL STINKO!
Posted by: PoWhitetrash | August 17, 2012 at 08:39 PM
Starting defense - atrocious. Borderline elite? LMAO
Jonathan Martin just got stood up then knocked back on his as* 2 plays in a row.
This is gonna be a LOOOOOOOOOONG season. Better start Moore & spare Tanny.
Posted by: The truth is... | August 17, 2012 at 08:40 PM
shut up fed up go watch the jets if someone would block or catch no lets just blame the qb what an ass
Posted by: revans | August 17, 2012 at 08:40 PM
Is it just me or is tannehill scared? Not as a knock, I'm curious if I'm the only one seeing it.
Posted by: inimounts | August 17, 2012 at 08:40 PM
Carolina leads, 10-0.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 17, 2012 at 08:40 PM
can you ay cam camron
Posted by: dslong | August 17, 2012 at 08:41 PM
Have you seen his protection inimounts???...I'd be scared sh$%less if i were him too....just sayin
Posted by: superPHIN | August 17, 2012 at 08:41 PM
I want tannehill to play every down, and we all need to start pushing that. If he isn't the qb of the future, and shows no potential, then we shouldn't miss out next year on waiting.
Posted by: inimounts | August 17, 2012 at 08:41 PM
This game is proving the Dolphins have zero depth on defense.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 17, 2012 at 08:41 PM
Why keep giving carries to Bush??? He is the most known assest. Geez. Give T a chance to get rolling.
Posted by: kwazy | August 17, 2012 at 08:41 PM
Where is Odin telling everyone what a great pick & a stud Martin is. Did he watch those 2 consecutive plays that got Bush eaten up & tanny almost sacked?
Posted by: Odinbigmouth | August 17, 2012 at 08:41 PM
I can't believe I have to still watch Sean smith. I hate it. Hate. It. His body language every time he gets beat...
Posted by: inimounts | August 17, 2012 at 08:42 PM
When your safeties can't tackle, you can't win.
Posted by: HelloIt'sMe | August 17, 2012 at 08:42 PM
Nolan forgive us!!!
Posted by: sagneul | August 17, 2012 at 08:43 PM
This team is awful. I don't see how the Dolphins win a game this year. Long, long season ahead.
Posted by: Jason | August 17, 2012 at 08:43 PM
Where is the pass rush? stay in MIami ?
Posted by: tony in miami | August 17, 2012 at 08:43 PM
We can really see the problem on this team: 1. Defense. 2. Offense.
Holy crap, unless we score a ton of points on special teams, we're really screwed this year.
Posted by: zaphod | August 17, 2012 at 08:43 PM
Great thing allowing the opponent to score is an option for a defense to get off of the field. If not our offense would never see the playing field.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | August 17, 2012 at 08:43 PM
1-15 cam cameron redux
Posted by: dslong | August 17, 2012 at 08:43 PM
WOW no D or O poor Tanehil hes gonna want a transfer.
Posted by: Miami Joisey | August 17, 2012 at 08:43 PM
That says it all, total yds: Carolina 140, Fins 10
Posted by: redsky | August 17, 2012 at 08:43 PM
The dolphins have 0 anything on defense. An offense. Greg Olsen, great tight end, we passed. Soliai is the most overrated lineman in the history of dolphins I think. He does nothing. Compare him to wilfork. His name rarely get called, he can't hold the middle, why do u like him?
Posted by: inimounts | August 17, 2012 at 08:44 PM
Anyone wish we hadn't changed DC's yet??? Our defense is a joke all of a sudden!!
Posted by: ATLFinFan | August 17, 2012 at 08:44 PM
Miami losing the battle at the line of scrimmage on offense and defense. Newton has all day to throw.
Posted by: Chris in the 623 | August 17, 2012 at 08:44 PM
Tannehill is the 2nd coming of Pat White!
Posted by: Cellar Fins | August 17, 2012 at 08:44 PM
Well at least hes getting the introduction. Hell be alright.
Posted by: Miami Joisey | August 17, 2012 at 08:45 PM
Philbin's got his headphones on, talking to Green Bay about whether he can go back to the Packers.
Posted by: HelloIt'sMe | August 17, 2012 at 08:45 PM
Does anyone think the Fins could get a BCS bowl?
Posted by: Mike | August 17, 2012 at 08:45 PM
these replacements officials are playing in Las Vegas?
Posted by: tony in miami | August 17, 2012 at 08:45 PM
That official needs to never officiate again. Sucks
Posted by: bobbyd12 | August 17, 2012 at 08:46 PM
Okay, so maybe it's more about the officiating.
Posted by: zaphod | August 17, 2012 at 08:46 PM
I know ... NO Burnett, NO Dansby, ok... but the way Carolina has eaten up our safties and corners... priceless!!
Posted by: sagneul | August 17, 2012 at 08:46 PM
D lookin good
Posted by: dslong | August 17, 2012 at 08:46 PM
These refs HAVE TO GO!!!!
Posted by: nydolfan19 | August 17, 2012 at 08:46 PM
Anyone think Carolina could be a playoff team this year? I do.
Posted by: Chris in the 623 | August 17, 2012 at 08:46 PM
17-0
Posted by: Mike | August 17, 2012 at 08:46 PM
Great our up-tempo offense will give the other team that much more time to score!!!
Posted by: ATLFinFan | August 17, 2012 at 08:46 PM
Said on twitter, the Dolphins defense is in mid OFFSEASON form.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 17, 2012 at 08:46 PM
Fantastic play by Sean Smith
Embarrassing bad play by the ref
Posted by: 72perfectstill | August 17, 2012 at 08:46 PM
Jesus, these refs are gonna cost the NFL A LOT of fans if they ref longer then a week or two
Posted by: Jon | August 17, 2012 at 08:46 PM
Are these real REFs or scrubs? That could be a factor here.
Posted by: zaphod | August 17, 2012 at 08:47 PM
pass interference call was BULL crap
Posted by: Ceed | August 17, 2012 at 08:47 PM
OH BOY WE STINK BAD
Posted by: Scotty | August 17, 2012 at 08:47 PM
D looking good... 0-17!!... yeah right!!
Posted by: sagneul | August 17, 2012 at 08:47 PM
Pretty obvious our guys have done NO tackling in camp.
Posted by: HelloIt'sMe | August 17, 2012 at 08:47 PM
who would give the blow fish a bcs invite????
Posted by: dslong | August 17, 2012 at 08:47 PM
This defense IS horrible!!!...I see so many blowouts in this game!!!
Posted by: superPHIN | August 17, 2012 at 08:47 PM
Wow. Its true the score doesn't matter in Preseason.
How much is Steve Smith Paying the Officials.
Posted by: Dashi | August 17, 2012 at 08:48 PM
