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.

Mando--fact man here.....Thomas, 3.5 yards/carry on average.....fact.

[Fasucko]

Mando, YG is a piece of garbage, it's true, but aren't you digging yourself in a bit too deep here?

Do you really think Thomas is now showing great promise and looking like a 1,000 yard rusher this year???

[Yesterday'sGone]

The team caught more balls nder Sparano because hepromised free CHucky Cheese pizza after the games. The kids were elated!

[Mark in Toronto]

Br, these guys aren't qualified. There were two easy missed calls in this half quarter alone. The NFL is a joke in this instance.

[originalorangecrush]

we need the regular refs to come back

[46andtwo]

Good point Stuart. Its bitter sweet. Tannehill looks great, but it will only keep ireland around

[Dashi]

Hows that Pass Interference, But the Fade to Noono was not?

[Fasucko]

yeah that was clear pass interference. refs are a joke. should have been 1st and goal. we'd have gotten a TD in 4 plays from the 1/2 line.

NFL better get these refs in gear for the real season.

BS

Smith's INT last week now this.

Fasano's drop.

Tanne with 4 TD drives this preseason

[Armando Salguero]

Ryan Tannehill done for the night. Finished 6 of 8 for 41 yards. 0 TD O INT. Receiver dropped a pass. And QB leaves uninjured.

[Mark in Toronto]

And that wasn't pass interference. These refs suck. The corner has his head turned the whole way

[dslong]

ahh, the make up PI call... opps that worked against the blowfish.... telling you crappy O, Joe Cameron as coach and scab refs =1-15

[jetkiller]

Jimmy Wilson should of stayed at corner

[Yesterday'sGone]

Fasucko,

Youre just like the preseason. Nothing you say really counts. Your whole life's been just one big losing scrimmage game.

[Fasucko]

The following TDs are very similar in every respect except time in the NFL:

1. Peyton Manning
2. Ryan Tannehill
3. Ben Rothleisberger
4. Tom Brady

One of these QBs is very young and has many playoff wins ahead of him.

Write it down, brothers.

[Fasucko]

I mean QBs. freudian slip

[BPA]

Wilson might see some time at corner if needed.....

[Chris in the 623]

Well, they all have hot wives.

[46andtwo]

Im with you Fasucko. Dont listen to YG. You can rub it in his face 2 years from now.

[Armando Salguero]

My motives in what I write is I write what I see. Period. End of motives.

[Fasucko]

YG, you won't believe me, but I've had sex with more super hot women less than 120 pounds than you've lived years. Seriously.

But I agree with you that Mando is wrong on Thomas. Thomas is going going for 1400 total yards this year barring injury.

[jv]

Can I call my grandmother?

[Coalition To Get Coalition Out Of The Closet]

Tannehill looked great.

Lets forfeit this game and get to work on trading for a WR!

[Cuban Menace]

Guys Have a "PHINTASTIC" Time tonite...
PEACE.

[46andtwo]

Armando, you forgot money............

[Yesterday'sGone]

I guess, so far, its easily J Martin's best game. Have yet top hear his name once for anything.

[oscar canosa]

Much better job of converging on the ball by the D today.

[Dashi]

Only problem Fasucko is T-Sizzle is way Faster than the other 3.

Peyton and Tom are Cerebral.

Ben is just lucky. Fell to a great Team, Great D, Great Running Game, Good Wr's.

[eddie from new england]

JEFF IRELAND WE NEED A WR..........

OVER PAY IN PICKS NOW OR ELSE WE WILL HAVE DAVID CARR 2.0
I drive by Patriots staduim everyday i can pop in and ask bill how and who we should get.

[Coalition To Get Coalition Out Of The Closet]

Less than 120 pounds.

I would get charged with Wo-Man Slaughter on a waif like that.

Maybe you should try a real woman?

[Dolphin 77]

These zebra's are awful. How many games are going to be decided by these assh$les blowing calls?

[We Have RB's]

Bottom line--I realize Philbin chewed Daniel Thomas out in last night's 'Hard Knocks' but in terms of his play he's the least of this team's problems. This team has serious issues at WR & our secondary was terrible before Vontae got traded.

[72perfectstill]

Too bad J. Martin can't play against 2 and 3rd defenses during regular season

[Armando Salguero]

I don't know if you guys heard, but apparently the rumor is NFL is telling teeams to expect replacement refs for regular season's start.

[Charlie Brown]

I have been a fan from the start...I even have a Dolphin tatto on my left arm. They have hit an all time low. They used to be getting better- now they are at the bottom. Channel 4 did the right thing by blacking out tonights game!!! Who wants to watch tiis team. This is the first of many. When will these oweners get thier heads out of thier butts??? They aught to have an over/under on the empty seats. Dolphins GOOD-BYE!!!

[We Have RB's]

"Can I call my grandmother?"

LMFAO@JV! Now that's funny!

[Indiana Dolfan]

Fasucko - You are giving Tannehill hall of fame status already...leave it rest buddy. Yes I do think he may be decent and hopefully great in the NFL. He just went against a second and third team defensive players, yet did not get the team in the endzone. Do not blame it on the refs bad call or bad team around him. The team is what it is and he has not got them in the endzone, a little disappointing if you ask me (no matter how good he may of looked against backups).

[jetkiller]

Replacement refs remind me of the ugly women I cheated on my girl with :-/

[BaskinRobins]

RT has been noted as being quite cerebral himself.

[oscar canosa]

You were right, YG. Look at Nolan Carroll!.

[oscar canosa]

You can see Jimmy Wilson has gotten stronger.

[Yesterday'sGone]

Armando,

Maybe you should tell us what you meant by "Simply Diappointing". Perhaps you meant one thing, but it came accross to your audience as another.

By simply disappoiniting were you weighing heavily on his play? Because a "young player" being late a couple times and then being reprimanded by his hc, doesnt quite rate "simply disappointing".

There's nothing to suggest he's been "simply disappointing in his preseason play either. Has he just been "simply disappointing in Practice?

[Indiana Dolfan]

Fasucko - No way Thomas goes for 1400 yards as a backup RB...get real dude!!

Also, you are praising your sexual exerience with girls under 120 lbs. That don't sound good, I would be sure to use age, not pound! Get a life!

[We Have RB's]

"I have been a fan from the start...I even have a Dolphin tatto on my left arm. They have hit an all time low. They used to be getting better- now they are at the bottom.

Charlie,

You have a Dolphin tattoo on your left arm??? Why???

[72perfectstill]

Nat Moore such a shill for management

[Armando Salguero]

I believe the fact Jonathan Martin didn't start the game at LT is good news for the Dolphins because it signals they think Jake Long will be ready for the start of the season so they don't need to have a great plan right now for LT.

[oscar canosa]

You gotta get rid of the ball. god-amitt!

[Yesterday'sGone]

Oscar,

Told you Carroll looks like he finally gets it.

[Dashi]

Agreed.

To Dashi the List of Rookie QB's goes

1.Luck
2.T-hill
3.Wilson
4.RG3
5. Foles
6. Weeden

Like Dashi has said before When 2 qb's get drafted 1 and 2 overall. The #2 Is Usually a Bust.

With that said Weeden and RG3 come from a Spread System while the other 4 come from a Pro-Style System. Spread Qb's usually suck in the NFL

[Indiana Dolfan]

INT for a TD...way to go Moore

[WIDolfan]

And Moore throws a tuchdown!!!!! ... to a Cowboy...

[marchcool]

Nicely done by Moore and the team: two sacks and an interception returned to TD. Great ! What a season to come, my god !!

[Dashi]

Devlin!! DEVLIN!!!!

[jetkiller]

Oscar her got rid of it and looked what happened

[JackSparrow]

I guess Irelands defensive acorns are still a little green. Might want to let them ripen a little before he picks them.

[Yesterday'sGone]

Matyt Moore had better be very careful tonight. Any more plays like that pick 6 and it will be him, not Garrard, that ends up with walking papers Monday morning.

Given a choice anyway, I would keep Garrard over Moore. Garrard clearly outplayed Moore when he was healthy.

[(null)]

Why isn't Lamar miller playing.

[Dashi]

Do we Still want Moore as Our QB?

Dashi doesn't even want him as a Backup.

Bring Devlin Out

[Catch22]

Cmon Moore.... On another note I think 10 Tannehill will run more bootlegs in the regular season near the end zone . They are keeping it vanilla

[tony in miami]

Hey Armando, you heard what J. Johnson said about T. Romo?..He said he is a good QB and he will win a Super Bowl. Now my question is… Fantasy Football celebrates a Super Bowl? Or he was drunk went he says that?

[nickybarto]

Matt Moore looks very mediocre this preseason. That pick six was horrible.
