Live blog and lineup changes here

Minutes before the start of what promises to be the most meaningless game of the season:

Ryan Tannehill is going to start. He's going to start running, too, if he's smart.

That's because the starting offensive line will be a backup unit except for rookie Jonathan Martin at right tackle. The unit consists of Ray Feinga at LT, Chandler Burden at left guard, Ryan Cook at center, John Jerry at right guard and Martin at right tackle.

Crazy, right?

Daniel Thomas starts for Reggie Bush, who is not expected to play.

The injured scratches tonight are: Jake Long (right knee), David Garrard (knee), Nate Garner (head), Tony McDaniel (leg), Lydon Murtha (foot), Brian Hartline (calf), and defensive end Derrick Shelby (shoulder).

Middle linebacker Karlos Dansby is dressed but not expected to play. Austin Spitler starts in his place. Kevin Burnett is dressed but not expected to play. Gary Guyton starts in his place.

There's a live blog happening in the comments section. I'll be there for the kickoff. See you there.

[bill connors]

[PoWhitetrash]

Its better than a sharp stick in the eye...

Maybe...

[oscar canosa]

wth is going on in here. I guess RT is not in their plans, either. Armango.........

[Cuban Menace]

This is why the NFL is going to a 18 game season with 2 pre-season games, Mando When will this happen???

[fin4life]

Rob,

From last blog, the thing about Miller was a knee injury he hasn't mentally come all the way back from while at the U IMO. You don't have his natural speed without it he just won't let go, sometimes happens as was the case with F.Gore at the U as well after 2 terrible knee wrecks back to back. Some guys take more time to trust it again and others don't

[bill connors]

everyone here got excited about miller, us miami u fans knew better though. guy sucked in college and will suck in nfl

[Cuban Menace]

Well the good news is at least Colombo wont be at gaurd.....

[Cuban Menace]

Bill I disagree, He has some speed.......

[ncfinfan33]

[bobbyd12]

Just so you know, reading your posts is equally brutal. Maybe worse!

Enjoy the game!

[bill connors]

congrats on the speed, means nothing al davis

[bobbyd12]

FYI blow me, you are an expert at it

[Jcb]

Philbin better stop worrying about curse words, trash on the ground and shoe laces. He needs to start worrying about our team being pushed around.
They already nick named Jonathan Martin the human windmill because all he does is get spun around.

[Another LongSeason]

It will never be the bottom with Ireland as a talent evaluator. It will also have the potential to get even worse.

Where did the "Rea" come from?

Oscar= Bill= Aloco

Dashi responded to ur Asinine Post from last Blog.

We saw this post in the last blog, it sucked there too.

Give him a chance. We needed a total make over. Has anyone watched the last several year. If this was green bays philosophy i'm all for it.

[oscar canosa]

Hey, Sushi, eat Dashi.

[Phins78]

Just minutes? Dude when you posted this the game was 40 minutes away! I know that's minutes but that phrase is usually reserved for an event that is within 5 minutes of happening. Stop confusing us Mando!

[Dashi]

Oscar that was Weak

Try Again

We all know ur Sushi

[oscar canosa]

I don't know about that. I saw Lamar a couple of times in You Tube and I knew then he would be a star in the NFL.

[Phins78]

"Give him a chance. We needed a total make over. Has anyone watched the last several year. If this was green bays philosophy i'm all for it."

Not only is it the Green Bay way but it's text book Coughlin and the Giants. Two great teams. But our fans are way too impatient to build anything. 'Philbin hasn't won a preseason game yet, he must suck, fire him and lets start over'.

Got to love being a Miami fan. The funny thing is I am always less embarrassed by the team, it's the fans who make me shake my head. Did you see some of those people in the stands last week? Yikes!

[oscar canosa]

I'm no sure what minutes mean to Armando either, 78.

[bill connors]

utube hilarious guy sucked at the u

[Phins78]

Well his college coach said he and Olivier Vernon are going to be stars in the league. We shall see.

[Armando Salguero]

I am sooo pumped about this game!!!!

No.

[Phins78]

oscar lol!

[oscar canosa]

Actually, I only saw RT once on You Tube and I gathered immediately that he would be a very good QB in the NFL

[Phins78]

I don't know if it's crazy Armando. Eli Manning was playing in the second quarter with his backups. If it's okay for the super bowl champs and they aren't worried about Eli maybe we're just being overly dramatic here in Miami as usual?

[Phins78]

Come on Armando, get pumped, the game is only seconds away!

[oscar canosa]

Is it Time, Armando? You let us know, ya hear?

[Phins78]

Armando stop complaining. You probably got an all expenses paid trip to Dallas and are eating well right now! Perspective man!

[Cuban Menace]

Oscar, He's Our people, He'll show up 10 minutes after Kick-Off.......

[phil]

bobbyd12,

Your still a SAD broken soul. It must really suck to be YOU.

[Yesterday'sGone]

Watch Miller in college. Yes he has speed, but he doesnt have explosivemess. To be a great rb from the line of scrimmage in the nfl, a rb needs explosivemess.

Speed alone is useles unless you can get into the open field. That first requires getting past the line of scrimmage. Remember John Avery?

Avery was fast as all out doors but didnt have the explosiveness to get thru the line of scrimmage. Miller reminds me of a little bigger version of John Avery.

[robbyhernz]

Mando, glad 2 c your posting in the correct blog and not the blog about Cooley being available

[Armando Salguero]

Dolphins owner Steve Ross will not be here tonight. But he will be at this venue Sept. 1 for Michigan vs. Alabama. He is a Michigan man.

[oscar canosa]

I'm not sure, 78, their OL backups and ours are not exactly of the same kind.

[Armando Salguero]

Thanks Robby. Got my bearings righ tonight. I guess I'm ready for the regular season.

[Yesterday'sGone]

If Ireland's worth his weight in a sack full of feathers, he would have Chris Cooley in the helicopter right now. Heck he ought to be on his knees sampling Cooley's manhood.

[Chris in the 623]

What's the web site for those of us not in the Miami area?

[JackSparrow]

Mando,

Starting Tanne tonight is another bad idea coming from Philbin and Ireland.

Dallas has players still trying to make the roster. They are going to be playing at 200% trying to kill Tannehill and make the Dallas roster.

Why trust Ireland NOW?!?!?!??!

[46andtwo]

Chris, im on firstrowsports.eu

[ibis-1]

T-Hill needs all the reps he can get. Miller was solid on bad teams. It is way to early to run our team down. I live near indy and actually hear tons smack when we lose. I think we are finally headed in right direction. Winning and attitude are contagious, so those of you bagging on everything and every player. Can only hurt the team psyche

[Armando Salguero]

We'll see a lot of Chris Hogan (7-11) tonight. Let's see if he can make a mark.

[Chris in the 623]

Thanks 46.

[oscar canosa]

Now, Armando.

[Yesterday'sGone]

Playing Tanne should depend on Dallas playing thier 1st team D. You wanna give Tanne as many looks as possible of a 1st team D before the season opener.

If Dallas plays thier 1st team only 1 possession, then you play Tanne only one possession. If Dallas decides not to play thier 1st team D at all, then you dont play Tanne at all.

If Tanne were a 2yrs vet or more, then without a dobt you dont play him in this last preseason game at all. But for now, Tanne needs as many looks at a 1st team D as possible before the opening game. Remember, he's only had 25 college starts, which creates the need even more.

[JackSparrow]

Why does Tanne need all the reps he can get? I thought he knew 90% of the playbook already. What more does he need to work on?

[oscar canosa]

Footwork, recognition.

[Cuban Menace]

This is why the NFL is going to a 18 game season with 2 pre-season games, Mando When will this happen???
