Inactives and live blog right here ...

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.

good question, why was nolan fired.... he ran a good d, so we gotta let him go and bring in rookie coaches all around... gee I wonder how that will work out

[superPHIN]

take a knee...PLEASE!!!

[delfino]

Better get Tannehill outta there before he gets killed. O-line is horrible.

[Armando Salguero]

The Dolphins have 10 rushing yards on seven attempts. Not good.

[fins4ever]

Phil ibis an idiot for not keeping the first string o-line on to protect Tannehill.

[Eschenpod]

I am going to make a ton of money this season betting the spread against the Dolphins - they are horrible.

[superPHIN]

WTF R THEY DOING!!!

[dslong]

murtha for LT.... good job

[DS]

Yes, he may be. But, Tannehill no pocket awareness. Not ready.

[finfannomore]

Look at the bright side..... Just 20 more weeks to wrap up a top 5 pick for the 2013 draft.

[Yesterday's Gone]

I believe there will actuially be guys on the waiver wire than what we presently have on this team.

[noah from lantana]

NEWSFLASH: Dolphins bad, sky blue.

[DS]

Maroons: Nolan wasn't fired. He took a better job with Falcons. Before Philbin was hired.

[superPHIN]

4 deflections....3 sacks, nice to see O-line gelling!!!

Is 7-11 open yet??/

[Dolph]

Last word tonight, you can't blame Tannehill if there are no wide receivers or defense. Right now Tannehill holds the ball too long but is it the wide receivers that can't get open? LONG season, already disappointed by far.

[PoWhitetrash]

WHAT POCKET???!!!

[Marc Anthony Can't Sing]

Man, if you were to gauge Tannehill, this would be a bad night to do it. He can't get any time or protection. Without a doubt, this offensive line play is the biggest let down of the night.

[dslong]

whaa is with all the knock down passes is it tanny side arming it or is the line jsut that bad

[Eschenpod]

Maybe Dave Wannstedt wasn't so bad after all.

[FinFan in CT]

Tanny will learn not to stare down..caused 4 knockdowns.

O-Line...God help us...no excuse there. One of the worst performances by "starting" O-Line. Then again, there haven't been many highlights in the last several years.

[Angry Elf]

Taneyhill is doing fine, considering. As for the defense, my anger burns to the lowest hell.

[Eschenpod]

Looks as though we're on track to win three or four games this year. Arrrrgggghhh!

[dslong]

making cam cameron look good... at least he won a game wtih these clowns we could book end the 72 fins 14-0 on its 40th anversity with an 0-16 season.... gotta have goals

[superPHIN]

Defense looks bad altogether(AND THATS OUR STRENGTH...Offense is the same nonexistant prescense it was last year..regardless of what type is out there...What do we have left to hope for this year, seriously???!!

David Garrard is the starter and Moore is his backup.

Jeff Fisher and Bill Cowher must be happy right now!

[FinFan in CT]

I can't wait for Hard Knocks episode to hear the halftime speech er rant in the locker room after this performance. I don't care who is starting, they came out flat and Carolina man handled them.

[cotoflyer]

could the dolphins contend in the sec?

[Joe Philbin's Clipboard]

This was the worst thing that could of happened!!!
WOW!!! We are so f*cking bad right now!!!
DEF was absolutely brutal!!!!!!!
O-line was brutal!!!!!
Are these guys serious!!!!
How can you have 5 passes blocked!!!

AND I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT IS JUST PRESEASON!!!
BULLSH1T!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[ray]

And JI knows talent. Hey where are all those who said JI has done a good job with the talent level, drafting top talented players! We are years away from being a playoff team. We need new ownership and a very good GM!

[dslong]

back in the 70s, 80s and 90s I felt bad for the saints and wondered how in the world can you keep watching losers year in and year out and suspected they were desperate and stupid... well the blow fish are the old aints and I am asking myself if I am desperate and stupid. Fool me once shame on the fish, fool me for 10+ years I must be an idiot... a root canel woul be better than these losers... AGAIN!!!

[oscar canosa]

That was the backup OL that is terrible, no depth at all there. That scoring drive didn't look bad at all.

[Julio]

This team, and you all got to admit,have become second fiddle in Miami,The Heat are number one now...Fins got a long way to catch up...long way!!!!!

[Guppies]

What the heck is Henne doing? Oops, I mean Tannehill?

The Miami Guppies

[72perfectstill]

Blame Ireland for assembling this "talent"

[Eschenpod]

Fireland!

[dslong]

the backup DL sucked too... where does that leave us when the started are not much better????

[Guppies]

I think Tony Sparano is fist pumping right now....

The Miami Guppies

[Angry Elf]

This is preseason. It's not that bad . . . Yet.

Someone hold me.

[Joe Philbin's Clipboard]

I really don't know what to say about this....

I'm speechless!!!!

The Texan's will be laying 15 points opening day!!

[Eschenpod]

"We'll get this cleaned up."

[Guppies]

I am so underwhelmed.....

The Miami Guppies

[cotoflyer]

Good news! I just saved $200 by cancelling the NFL Ticket on Directv!

[Yesterday's Gone]

Im out, just got a phone call inviting me to a party, time to have fun! LOL

[dslong]

can we get bill blowcells back... he really left the blow fish in great shape

[superPHIN]

O crap....somebody didnt mention that there would be a 2nd half to this game...GEEZ!!1

[redsky]

Well, Philbin nailed all the salient points. We suck!

[Armando Salguero]

Matt Moore taking over.

[oscar canosa]

But this was known before and written here by several. There is little depth to this Team

[Eschenpod]

Matt Moore just doubled down on his life insurance policy.

[g]

you guys are all nuts, 2nd PRE-SEASON game, with a new offence. this is what pre season is for, to work out the kinks. nothing bt whinners and idiots down there in miami, not even just this site your all the sme.

[Guppies]

Hooray, the 2nd and 3rd string slop will get us out of this mess!!!

The Miami Guppies

[Randy S.]

Wow

[Julio]

First time in a long time that pre season is unwatchable,I mean..is like they are not even trying out there. Let B-ball start all ready

[Eschenpod]

This West Coast offense has really got me excited.

[Guppies]

This team blows more than a two dollar hooker....

The Miami Guppies

[PoWhitetrash]

Right G!

[Randy S.]

At least I can look forward to eating and getting sh@tfaced at BW3s each Sunday. I'm going to need an open bar tab I think.

[Stu G]

Tony Sparano has got to be laughing!!!
