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.
Being polite, the team stinks.

I am so glad I did not buy the NFL Ticket this season. One of the great blessings of the preseason.

Jonathon Martin has slow feet
He will not get better
But blame Ireland not Martin
Ireland needs to go

only thing stopping panthers are themselves!!!

Ireland/Ross cant still live in the lie we're not in rebuilding mode after watching the first 2 preseason game. Folks we're in rebuilding mode.

Get real - marc can sing - saw him at radio city. Funny, hating on the team and now the owners, what's next, hate the color of the grass. LOL.
Posted by: Spillmar | August 17, 2012 at 09:25 PM
all of you tards that are saying RT sucks and blows obviously dont know a thing about football. the right side of the line folds enough so he gets sacked or they get their hands up right in his face to deflect balls.. come on guys
Posted by: ncfinfan33 | August 17, 2012 at 09:26 PM
Tannehill should've stayed in college another year.
Posted by: Bill | August 17, 2012 at 09:27 PM
I am so glad Daniel Alfredsson is coming back to the Ottawa Senators this year ... I sure as hell am NOT going to enjoy this season with my Dolphins. Go Sens Go!!!!!!
Posted by: zaphod | August 17, 2012 at 09:27 PM
If T-hill continues to develop, that buys Ireland AT LEAST 1 more season.
"shudders"
Posted by: Jon | August 17, 2012 at 09:27 PM
We have 10 yards rushing.
Posted by: kwazy | August 17, 2012 at 09:27 PM
Martin hasn't been able to stop anyone. Griese's comments are right on.
Posted by: redsky | August 17, 2012 at 09:27 PM
a rebuilding mode would be a step up from where the suck fish are at now
Posted by: dslong | August 17, 2012 at 09:27 PM
May as put Tannehill on the shelf for the rest of the night.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | August 17, 2012 at 09:28 PM
I give the Panthers credit: they actually dressed their punter in a game against the Dolphins. WOW!!!!!!
Posted by: zaphod | August 17, 2012 at 09:28 PM
Good play by Tae. I know some of you hated on him for that unsportsmanlike call but I liked how firey he was. He probably has been kicking his own ass this week.
Posted by: Marc Anthony Can't Sing | August 17, 2012 at 09:28 PM
This team shouldve requested college admission last year!!!
Posted by: superPHIN | August 17, 2012 at 09:28 PM
Tannehill is the sacked king!! LOL

WOW... the right side looks gooooood
Posted by: dslong | August 17, 2012 at 09:30 PM
It boggles the mind when you consider how much we've invested in the o-line over the past four years and, still, the is the best we can do!
Posted by: Luckyz | August 17, 2012 at 09:30 PM
This team ids friggin AWFUL
Posted by: Anthony | August 17, 2012 at 09:30 PM
Can the Dolphins get Penn State's accreditation this year? We might actually make the Toilet Mint Bowl this year if we can qualify as a college team.
Posted by: zaphod | August 17, 2012 at 09:30 PM
Is our practice squad available to play this game....just sayin!!!

What a waste of friday night to watch this game - they look sick out there.
Posted by: Jake | August 17, 2012 at 09:33 PM
What Im seeing tonight is far worse than the 1-15 year. At least we competed most of the time this year. I have no idea what to call what Im now seeing. I hope everyone has put the kids to bed.
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | August 17, 2012 at 09:33 PM
can we get cam cameron back

Ross "I expect to win" ....what you didnt hear in ross's presser is " By the year 2020"
Posted by: superPHIN | August 17, 2012 at 09:34 PM
Look in Sherman offense the running game is not a dominate weapon, it's about spread out pass the f u c k. Out of the ball! Sherman never really had a top notch RB in his coaching offense career. Look it up. Not in green bay not in college. It's pass first run just to keep them honest.
Posted by: ray | August 17, 2012 at 09:34 PM
I wish they would move this trash heap to L.A. and stop embarrassing S Florida.
Posted by: Bill | August 17, 2012 at 09:34 PM
T hill looks ok not great but could someone block for him jesus.
Posted by: eddie from new england | August 17, 2012 at 09:36 PM
This has to be the first 17-7 game in nfl history that felt more like 62-0!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | August 17, 2012 at 09:36 PM
Go watch the Bucs Bill...

20-7....and still a chance to score more with our offense having to take the field!!
Posted by: superPHIN | August 17, 2012 at 09:38 PM
So great to beat by ex-Dolphins.
Posted by: zaphod | August 17, 2012 at 09:38 PM
Or the Jets...
Posted by: PoWhitetrash | August 17, 2012 at 09:38 PM
This team reminds me of the hapless Tampa Bay Bucs during their heyday.

ProWhitetrash... LMAO!
Posted by: zaphod | August 17, 2012 at 09:39 PM
The only reason why the panthers dont have more scores is becuase they chose to commit more penalties than positive plays in this game!!
Posted by: superPHIN | August 17, 2012 at 09:39 PM
Is Murtha worse than Martin? Because Martin is Colombo 2.0
