The Dolphins' formula for winning football game? Run the ball. Play good defense. Avoid mistakes.
Today's Miami inactives speaks to that idea.
Firstly, the inactives are Marlon Moore, Michael Egnew, Nate Garner, Will Yeatman, Pat Devlin, Rishard Matthews, Ray Feinga, Tony McDaniel.
So the Dolphins will have four running back active today, if you include Marcus Thigpen in that group. That speaks to the team's intentions of running, running, running.
And there is only onedefensive player inactive.
The part about no turnovers? That's up to them.
The Dolphins are wearing all white today. Again.
There's a live blog brewing here today. We'll start in the comments section below and every quarter, I'll post an update and we'll continue in the comments section of the update.
Join me there at kickoff.
The odd couple
one's a foot sniffer the others a fist pumper

Armando,
Give me a keyboard and I'll mispell my own name. LOL

Is it just me or does Sanchez looks annoyed every time meatball puts tebow out there.. this could be a good thing.
Posted by: Catch22 | September 23, 2012 at 01:27 PM
Timeout because Jets brough Tebow in the game. Out now.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 23, 2012 at 01:27 PM
starting to a see a connection between mando and aloco
Posted by: B33RCA53 | September 23, 2012 at 01:27 PM
Looks like Sanchez is a little antsy, Wake has to get in there a few times today
Posted by: nyfinfan | September 23, 2012 at 01:27 PM
WAKE!!! Sooooooo close!!!
Posted by: robbyhernz | September 23, 2012 at 01:28 PM
Odrick railed Sanchez
Posted by: h8dpats | September 23, 2012 at 01:28 PM
This D could be playoff caliber....
Posted by: Kris | September 23, 2012 at 01:28 PM
I miss Tony Randle and Jack Klugman
Posted by: SoiledBottom | September 23, 2012 at 01:28 PM
Odrick has ARRIVED today!!!! Beautiful. Just beautiful to see Sanchez get crushed.
Posted by: We Have RB's | September 23, 2012 at 01:28 PM
Wake with the pressure almost sack!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | September 23, 2012 at 01:29 PM
Huge drive here!!! Scary field position!! 97 yd drive and Jets begin fighting amongst themselves in sideline.
Posted by: robbyhernz | September 23, 2012 at 01:29 PM
We definitely need an upgrade from Carrol.
Posted by: h8dpats | September 23, 2012 at 01:29 PM
Nolan Carrol. What a piece of crap player!! Please cut him Philbin!!
Posted by: ray | September 23, 2012 at 01:29 PM
OK. Less see how they line up on.
Posted by: oscar canosa | September 23, 2012 at 01:29 PM
Are the refs trying to help the Jests line for Vegas. F the refs! Go phins!
Posted by: MiamiD20 | September 23, 2012 at 01:30 PM
Carrol's about to get his ghetto pass this game. Stop screwing up kid!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | September 23, 2012 at 01:30 PM
Great Defense! Odrik put a big hit on Sanchez. It looks like we are dominating the line on defense also.
I like what I see so far. Let's keep doing what we are doing. Run Run Run and protect Tannehill. Allow him to get better as the season goes on. That is what the Bengals did last year with a soft schedule and they made the playoffs.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | September 23, 2012 at 01:30 PM
Two penalties on Carroll in the first quarter. Next stop--Philbin's dog house.
Posted by: We Have RB's | September 23, 2012 at 01:31 PM
The pressure may be too much for Sanchez today. We may get several more picks.
Posted by: scosee | September 23, 2012 at 01:31 PM
Bush looking special....
Posted by: Kris | September 23, 2012 at 01:31 PM
Bush is playing OUT of his MIND this year!!!
Posted by: We Have RB's | September 23, 2012 at 01:31 PM
that same ref with some phantom call... Was that even the right penalty ruling? half the distance to the goal?
Posted by: B33RCA53 | September 23, 2012 at 01:32 PM
Soiled, Randall and Klugman were excellent. That was a funny show from a funnier movie.
Posted by: IMAWriter | September 23, 2012 at 01:32 PM
Seems Sanchez gets closer to bust to bust every season. LOL
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | September 23, 2012 at 01:32 PM
OK, shouldn't we just run run and run some more?
Posted by: IMAWriter | September 23, 2012 at 01:32 PM
Tannehill is not very accurate.
Posted by: oscar canosa | September 23, 2012 at 01:33 PM
The Anthony Armstrong specialty slant finally hooks up for Miami.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 23, 2012 at 01:33 PM
Reggie's Island!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | September 23, 2012 at 01:33 PM
I've been saying it about Bush Kris.........I've been sayin it!
Posted by: Ohio Dolfan | September 23, 2012 at 01:33 PM
Armstrong is officially a Dolphin again.
Posted by: We Have RB's | September 23, 2012 at 01:33 PM
OK, not run all the time. That's why I do music for a living. LOL
Posted by: IMAWriter | September 23, 2012 at 01:33 PM
D Thomas SUCKS!
Posted by: Gregg | September 23, 2012 at 01:34 PM
that was a cute play, when you are stuffing it down their throat pound it for a yard
Posted by: nyfinfan | September 23, 2012 at 01:34 PM
Arnstrong sighting! LOL
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | September 23, 2012 at 01:34 PM
There are Tannehill's issues, he'll learn...maybe the rain, maybe he needs some practice, wish we had that back
Posted by: MiamiD20 | September 23, 2012 at 01:34 PM
They gotta connect on that, but why throw?
Lane?
Posted by: IMAWriter | September 23, 2012 at 01:34 PM
Calm down, kid, you have a lot of good time ahead of you.
Posted by: oscar canosa | September 23, 2012 at 01:34 PM
Killing the Jets with the run so why is Tannehill throwing on 3rd & 1. I don't get that!!!
Posted by: We Have RB's | September 23, 2012 at 01:35 PM
ok, WHY the pass on 3rd and 1, when they are running the ball well....ANY of Miami's RBs pick up a yard there--c'mon Sherman, don't over think it!
Posted by: BPA | September 23, 2012 at 01:35 PM
"that was a cute play, when you are stuffing it down their throat pound it for a yard"
NYPhin,
Exactly!!!!
Posted by: We Have RB's | September 23, 2012 at 01:35 PM
Woulda preferred Butterball down their throats for a meager yard, but coaches r doing great so far so I'm not complaining..
Posted by: robbyhernz | September 23, 2012 at 01:36 PM
Interesting that the Jets don't have Santonio Holmes in the game every play. He's their most explosive offensive player and he's on the sideline.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 23, 2012 at 01:36 PM
I wanna see another interception here..wooo!!
Posted by: Louie | September 23, 2012 at 01:36 PM
Finally a penalty not against us!
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | September 23, 2012 at 01:36 PM
I agree...........should have been a run on 3 and 1
Posted by: Ohio Dolfan | September 23, 2012 at 01:36 PM
Accuracy Tanny... accuracy
Posted by: Martin | September 23, 2012 at 01:36 PM
Tough pass for a running back to handle. The way we are running the football I can't understand why we don't give the rock to Thomas or Lane in that situation. No time to get cute with the calls. That's O.K we are still controlling the line of scrimmage.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | September 23, 2012 at 01:36 PM
Gregg,
That throw was on Tannehill not Thomas.
Posted by: We Have RB's | September 23, 2012 at 01:36 PM
Ugggggggggggghhhhh!
We can't let Sanchez and Tebow hang around with these refs!
We need a pick 6 like now!
Posted by: Coalition To Get Coalition Out Of The Closet | September 23, 2012 at 01:37 PM
british commentators saying the Jets are getting screrwed by the replacement guys...what a JOKE.
Posted by: IMAWriter | September 23, 2012 at 01:37 PM
The 3rd down play was good. The execution wasnt. Would have been a nice gain.
Guys youre over dissecting this thing. Still early in the game and Sanchez is getting ready to throw us a pic 6. LOL
Posted by: Yesterday's Gone | September 23, 2012 at 01:37 PM
We are just missing Sanchez.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | September 23, 2012 at 01:38 PM
Reshad Jones has been playing LIGHTS OUT the last two games!!!
Posted by: We Have RB's | September 23, 2012 at 01:38 PM
That's the right call.
Posted by: We Have RB's | September 23, 2012 at 01:39 PM
this is getting f*cking ridiculous!!!!!!i gues after he dropped the ball the contact was made
Posted by: nyfinfan | September 23, 2012 at 01:39 PM
The Dolphins actually got a break on the illegal contact play. The ball was in the air. That was pass interference.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | September 23, 2012 at 01:39 PM
Our db's have to stop grabbing....it's becoming a habit.
Posted by: IMAWriter | September 23, 2012 at 01:39 PM
Refs must have bet on the Jests on this one. Santonio "I'm a pussee" Holmes is a joke. Let em play refs
Posted by: MiamiD20 | September 23, 2012 at 01:40 PM
