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.
Man we need Dansby and Wake back. Oh well its only preseason.

We're on pace to give up 68 points tonight. Is that a bad thing?
Posted by: HelloIt'sMe | August 17, 2012 at 08:48 PM
Tannehill is Pat White!!!
Posted by: GG | August 17, 2012 at 08:48 PM
no way they call that pass interference will real officials. they were both grabbing.

tao - three and out coming up with blow fish o
Posted by: dslong | August 17, 2012 at 08:49 PM
Are they going to hand it to Reggie Bush 3 more times?
Posted by: kwazy | August 17, 2012 at 08:49 PM
You're one Tanne pick away from a horrible weekend.
Posted by: TheSMF | August 17, 2012 at 08:49 PM
Who is number 1 for the draft? Miami is HORRIBLE!!!! The defense can't stop anyone and the offense can't get 10 yards against CAROLINA!!! It's going to be a very long year. Who the hell is Coyle anyway, we had the 6th defense in scoring this year, without a doubt 32nd.
Posted by: Dolph | August 17, 2012 at 08:49 PM
Wake and Dansby dont play safety and cornerback....we cant even force a punt right now!!!
Posted by: superPHIN | August 17, 2012 at 08:49 PM
Another play to Bush.. WTF is going on? The one player you don't need to evaluate.
Posted by: kwazy | August 17, 2012 at 08:50 PM
Tannehill = another Ireland bust
Posted by: GG | August 17, 2012 at 08:50 PM
Smith had the same rights to the ball. That was Offensive pass interference and a pick!
Posted by: DwinkinAle | August 17, 2012 at 08:50 PM
Okay, it can't get worse. Let's just hope we got out without injury.
Posted by: inimounts | August 17, 2012 at 08:50 PM
Okay, the defense is NOT THAT GOOD. However, if I was an attorney for the REFs in the collective bargaining agreement, I'd play this game as glaring evidence that there is a monumental difference between PRO refs and these scrubs.
Posted by: zaphod | August 17, 2012 at 08:50 PM
Looks like we'll have to look to the waiver wire to find a defense this year. They cant be any worse than what we already have.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | August 17, 2012 at 08:50 PM
And another play to BUSH????? WHAT DA FUHHHHH?
Posted by: kwazy | August 17, 2012 at 08:50 PM
Guyton couldn't get on field for Pats for 2 years. This is why. He sux. WAY worse than Spitler
Posted by: DS | August 17, 2012 at 08:50 PM
sagneul - my comment was in jest
Posted by: dslong | August 17, 2012 at 08:50 PM
Pretty obvious that Carolina is trying to bully our guys...they're succeeding.
Posted by: HelloIt'sMe | August 17, 2012 at 08:51 PM
your suposed to catch the ball
Posted by: Miami Joisey | August 17, 2012 at 08:51 PM
Armando is waiting to see somthing about Tanne, in order to support his mindset
Posted by: sagneul | August 17, 2012 at 08:51 PM
THIS IS EMBARRASSING! BRING MOORE IN!
Posted by: jeff | August 17, 2012 at 08:51 PM
Hmm #24 just intercepted the ball. Better throw a flag then, can't allow that.
Posted by: Ceed | August 17, 2012 at 08:52 PM
Worst words ever: bess is our go to receiver.
We have NOTHING in our receiving core. And the team is half pissed at the coach for Johnson, and this fan is fully pissed.
Posted by: inimounts | August 17, 2012 at 08:52 PM
merciful first down for miami......0-16 is definately not far fetched if this defense plays like this!!!
Posted by: superPHIN | August 17, 2012 at 08:52 PM
can somone block just for a minute
Posted by: revans | August 17, 2012 at 08:53 PM
Bring on Beck....Nah. Tannehill made a nice throw, nice arm. He's good.
Posted by: kwazy | August 17, 2012 at 08:53 PM
I hate to tell you it isnt Mr T its the damn O line its very SHMITY!
Posted by: Miami Joisey | August 17, 2012 at 08:53 PM
Is there any way to block Jeff? I'm not going to stay on this blog, which the whole app has turned to crap, listening to new and proved retards over and over.
Posted by: inimounts | August 17, 2012 at 08:53 PM
Tanny's QB rating = 0
Posted by: Rocky | August 17, 2012 at 08:53 PM
What's the point in playing T-Hill if they just wanna run a water downed version of the offense? Nothing like last weeks o calls. Unless they've already settled on Tanny being the starter
Posted by: Jon | August 17, 2012 at 08:53 PM
Martin keeps getting owned.
Posted by: Marc Anthony Can't Sing | August 17, 2012 at 08:53 PM
more would not do any better... no receivers, no line no running game no wins.... 1-15 comming up... blew $200 on the nfl ticket again
Posted by: dslong | August 17, 2012 at 08:53 PM
If this is the best Ireland can do in four drafts, he's gotta go.
Posted by: Carlos | August 17, 2012 at 08:54 PM
no talent=not tannehills FUALT!!!
Posted by: superPHIN | August 17, 2012 at 08:54 PM
Credit tannehill for staying calm in the pocket while Martin gets pummeled
Posted by: inimounts | August 17, 2012 at 08:54 PM
How can they evaluate Tanehill calling Daboll plays to Bush?
Posted by: DS | August 17, 2012 at 08:54 PM
Now its tanne time... against 2nd stringers... LOL!!
Posted by: sagneul | August 17, 2012 at 08:54 PM
Tannehill is running the PREVENT offense lol
Posted by: Rocky | August 17, 2012 at 08:54 PM
Nice play action Tanneman
Posted by: kwazy | August 17, 2012 at 08:55 PM
not o-16 but going to be a long year defense deffinetly took more than one step backwards and the oline still wont block
Posted by: revans | August 17, 2012 at 08:55 PM
Henne could have never just made that throw, ever
Posted by: Jon | August 17, 2012 at 08:55 PM
Everyone shouldn't get upset about this performance, this is going to be 1 bad team.
Posted by: Play the rookies | August 17, 2012 at 08:55 PM
Luke frickin keuchly. Get used to hearing his name called over and over.
Posted by: inimounts | August 17, 2012 at 08:55 PM
Ankleweights to the rescue!
Posted by: jess | August 17, 2012 at 08:56 PM
Bring back Sparano. Philbin sucks.
Posted by: jeff | August 17, 2012 at 08:56 PM
Jesus whats up w/up with you poeple hes a rookie. Pat White get real hes alot better and alot whiter.
Posted by: Miami Joisey | August 17, 2012 at 08:56 PM
Good adjustment by Wallace, forgot his hands
Posted by: inimounts | August 17, 2012 at 08:56 PM
Roberto garbage
Posted by: Jon | August 17, 2012 at 08:56 PM
Bad throw, yea, but he did it, he looked away and then went back. Phew.
Posted by: inimounts | August 17, 2012 at 08:56 PM
Tanneman looking GOOD! Nice throw under PRESSURE!
Posted by: kwazy | August 17, 2012 at 08:56 PM
Bring back Sparano.
Posted by: jeff | August 17, 2012 at 08:56 PM
No.
Posted by: Carlos | August 17, 2012 at 08:57 PM
from now on, whatever tanne can do, its IRRELEVANT, cause Cartolina is playing 2nd stringers... 1st Q was the reality
Posted by: sagneul | August 17, 2012 at 08:57 PM
Nice way to hang in the pocket and throw a deep strike.
Posted by: kwazy | August 17, 2012 at 08:57 PM
Carolina has their 3rd string D in now
Posted by: jeff | August 17, 2012 at 08:57 PM
People are going to say Tannehill isn't ready. I think Miami's WRs are not ready. I think the OL is not ready.
Tannehill isn't alone.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | August 17, 2012 at 08:57 PM
Tannehill has no one to throw to. I'm interested to see what he becomes when he does, just like henne will be interesting in jac
Posted by: inimounts | August 17, 2012 at 08:58 PM
Is it me or does T look like Stiffler?
Posted by: Miami Joisey | August 17, 2012 at 08:58 PM
Example: nobody know how great Sam Bradford is yet because he has no one to throw to
Posted by: inimounts | August 17, 2012 at 08:58 PM
Tanneman is the best QB on the team.
