EAST RUTHERFORD -- It is already windy here.
The combination hurricane-cold front weather anomoly known as FrankenStorm is not here yet. It is coming, but not today. There are gusts inside MetLife Stadium and that promises to wreck plans of throwing the football around all day.
The running game is important today.
That means Reggie Bush is front and center. That means the run defense will be big.
On offense, I look forward to seeing exactly what Mike Pouncey is going to do about the New York defensive front. I'm particularly interested to see what he'll do about Aaron Maybin. While you consider that, please read my column on Pouncey rising in stature as a Dolphins leader. It's good. Really.
I'll have the inactive in the next few minutes.
[UPDATE: Jabar Gaffney is active for today's game. He will work in three-wide sets.
The inactives are Pat Devlin, Richard Marshall, Josh Kaddu, Will Yeatman, Michael Egnew, Rishard Matthews, and Anthony Armstrong.]
There will be a live blog today. It starts in the comments section below. Meet me there at kickoff
See, you score first you have a better chance of winning. Better 7 than 3. Yes?

Good question Carp...

Great Call !!!!!
Posted by: Tony in Miami | October 28, 2012 at 01:16 PM
Let's get a 3&out!
Yeah noticed the shift. Will that happen throughout? Maybe its a ploy to get them thinking run on Jake side!
How's that for aggressiveness!
And what's with this jets commentator!

Wow philbin is trying anything today!
Posted by: Chase | October 28, 2012 at 01:17 PM
Ballsy!!!
Posted by: 72perfectstill | October 28, 2012 at 01:17 PM
LOVE THIS COACH!!!! Mando, Ryan with a coaching edge????
Posted by: robbyhernz | October 28, 2012 at 01:17 PM
TGH, refs are DOING THEIR JOB.
Don't worry, it will even out.
Points...I guess. I hate out play calling on 3rd and 4-6 inside the 20, always putting iot on Tanny to make the perfect thrw to the outside. Why not something inside to Bess.
WOW!!!!!! ST/Philbin!!!
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 28, 2012 at 01:17 PM
I LOVE THIS COACH...
F U REX...
keep talking.....
Posted by: Kris | October 28, 2012 at 01:17 PM
I love Philbin. Great gutsy call.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | October 28, 2012 at 01:17 PM
Reggie with 25 yards on the ground already
Posted by: DEFinFan | October 28, 2012 at 01:18 PM
Remember two weeks ago Philbin said he told team to be prepared for onside kicks, etc... Orders carried over to this game.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 28, 2012 at 01:18 PM
Good thing we tried an onside kick... You gotta be kidding me.. Now Tanne is hurt. Awesome
Posted by: Chase | October 28, 2012 at 01:19 PM
Oh crap...knee extended looks like.
Moore has no velocity
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 28, 2012 at 01:19 PM
We can still pin them deep....
Posted by: Kris | October 28, 2012 at 01:19 PM
Matt Moore is warming up on the sideline as doctors look at Tannehill.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 28, 2012 at 01:20 PM
Well that was a bad turn of events
Posted by: Joey | October 28, 2012 at 01:20 PM
UFF! We'll see.
Posted by: oscar canosa | October 28, 2012 at 01:20 PM
Almost kris...still, he's been a real weapon all season, especially when we really need a big punt.
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 28, 2012 at 01:21 PM
thill done. not good
Posted by: bill connors | October 28, 2012 at 01:21 PM
T-Hill is OK. Just a low blow. Shake it off.
OK D! Let's put the pressure on the fluke!
Posted by: Dashi | October 28, 2012 at 01:21 PM
Good thing we tried an onside kick... You gotta be kidding me.. Now Tanne is hurt. Awesome
Posted by: Chase | October 28, 2012 at 01:19 PM
-----------------------------------
Yeah....cause in some weird TROLL parallel universe....one is a direct result of the other....
where do you guys come from....
Posted by: Kris | October 28, 2012 at 01:21 PM
That is why you just can't trade Matt Moore. You need a quality back up in case your starter is hurt.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | October 28, 2012 at 01:22 PM
Whew, apparently not Tanny's knee.
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 28, 2012 at 01:22 PM
why the singing of god save the queen?
Posted by: peter guggenhein | October 28, 2012 at 01:22 PM
Really guys this orgainization is curse big time
Posted by: Tony in Miami | October 28, 2012 at 01:22 PM
Knee or ankle?
Posted by: robbyhernz | October 28, 2012 at 01:23 PM
miami/jets game
Posted by: peter guggenhein | October 28, 2012 at 01:23 PM
The Jets will not be able to run the football against us. This game will be on the Sanchez' back.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | October 28, 2012 at 01:23 PM
Wow, Sanchize sucks!!
Posted by: robbyhernz | October 28, 2012 at 01:23 PM
Tannehill is on the bike. Matt Moore coming in the game.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 28, 2012 at 01:23 PM
Damn 79. Turn around and block someone not run into the Punt returner!
Posted by: Chase | October 28, 2012 at 01:24 PM
thill done. not good
Posted by: bill connors | October 28, 2012 at 01:21 PM
------------------------
Bill...if you know as much about KNEES...as you do about WEATHER....
Then Tanne will be on the field next series....
Posted by: Kris | October 28, 2012 at 01:24 PM
At least he's riding the bike!!!
Posted by: robbyhernz | October 28, 2012 at 01:24 PM
Time to score with Moore
Posted by: qbclub13 | October 28, 2012 at 01:24 PM
Any bets for a pick 6 by Moore?
Posted by: Joey | October 28, 2012 at 01:24 PM
Oh no Matt Moore is in. I think he is under rated but for the Dolphins to do anything this year they need Ryan Tannehill and we need this game.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | October 28, 2012 at 01:24 PM
Ima .. He has on the damn bike ... Either knee or groin... Cmon
Posted by: fbd2707748 | October 28, 2012 at 01:25 PM
whoo hoo a stop!
They're singing God save due to the game in London today. Still seems odd.
We're lucky we have the wind, as Moore doesn't have the arm strength for the medium length throws.
Please, no sideline throws.
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 28, 2012 at 01:25 PM
Tanne looks like he'll be OK
Posted by: 72perfectstill | October 28, 2012 at 01:25 PM
Agreed Orlando
Posted by: cocoajoe | October 28, 2012 at 01:25 PM
Hey u matt Moore fans u can all come out from hiding!
Cause Matt Barkley suck! And let's hope Moore can at least play 1 series!
Posted by: Dashi | October 28, 2012 at 01:25 PM
O-line needs to pick it up!!! Now they're REALLY gonna stack the line..
Posted by: robbyhernz | October 28, 2012 at 01:25 PM
Tannehill has a quad injury.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 28, 2012 at 01:26 PM
Well hopefull Matt Moore looks better then in the Preseason. Cant look any worse...
Posted by: Chase | October 28, 2012 at 01:26 PM
I worry that Moore is a fumble machine, even when not touched.
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 28, 2012 at 01:26 PM
Next man up...
we know Moore can win....
Posted by: Kris | October 28, 2012 at 01:26 PM
Moore has moxy
Posted by: fbd2707748 | October 28, 2012 at 01:27 PM
Tannehill's return is questionable.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 28, 2012 at 01:27 PM
Where's the FLAG?????
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 28, 2012 at 01:27 PM
Dashi, did you notice you didn't say a thing in your answer beyond insults? Was it on purpose?
Posted by: Lutz Alexander Keferstein | October 28, 2012 at 01:27 PM
Are you kidding me!!!!! Look
Posted by: Chase | October 28, 2012 at 01:27 PM
Activate Pat Devlin.
Posted by: oscar canosa | October 28, 2012 at 01:27 PM
That official was going to throw the flag. That is incredible. That ref is a coward.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | October 28, 2012 at 01:28 PM
How much the official bet ?...hummm
Posted by: Tony in Miami | October 28, 2012 at 01:28 PM
Tannehill getting hurt is a blessing in disguise. Just like last year. Moore > Tannehill
Posted by: Fin 77 | October 28, 2012 at 01:28 PM
Wow!! Conspiracy of refs against Fins? No! But we sure get tons of crappy calls!!!
Posted by: robbyhernz | October 28, 2012 at 01:28 PM
Quad injuries near impossible to heal during season......sadness covers the Fins' hopes.
I am super-bummed
Posted by: Emo | October 28, 2012 at 01:28 PM
DB never turned around. That ref is unreal.
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 28, 2012 at 01:28 PM
What would we all be saying if a replacement ref did that?
Refs Always BLOW!
Don't pay them more, make them more accountable
