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
Ref momentarily forgot he was a Jet fan

Pace cheap-shotted Tanny.
They & Goodell & Refs are laughing as the League's (Park Avenue's) darlings & their cheating plans are allowed to go unpunished

Hate to be a broken record! These refs suck!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Dashi | October 28, 2012 at 01:30 PM
What is the difference between the replacemnet Ref's and the actual Ref's?....none
Posted by: Tony in Miami | October 28, 2012 at 01:30 PM
A quad injury and Tannehill sitting out you would have to drag Marino off the field.
Posted by: Truth | October 28, 2012 at 01:30 PM
Fin77 you have no idea what youre talking about... Moore couldnt beat Tannehill in the preseason.. which is why he is and always will be a back up..
Posted by: ncfinfan33 | October 28, 2012 at 01:31 PM
Whose fault was it on that sack. Did Tannehill not recognize the blitz or was that all on the offensive line?
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | October 28, 2012 at 01:31 PM
WOW - does Rex need his knee pads and a napkin for his chin??
Posted by: guppies | October 28, 2012 at 01:31 PM
pick 6 coming...
Posted by: Kris | October 28, 2012 at 01:32 PM
Jets OL gave Sanchez a lot of time on third down.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 28, 2012 at 01:32 PM
Wow anyone will get a completion with that much time. That was ridiculous..
Posted by: Chase | October 28, 2012 at 01:32 PM
DOWN GOES TANHOLE
Posted by: Lego My Lageman | October 28, 2012 at 01:32 PM
Way too much time. Keller has been a monster against us, but that's WAY to much time.
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 28, 2012 at 01:32 PM

Posted by: Dashi | October 28, 2012 at 01:33 PM

Lucky that we didnt get a personal foul there...
Posted by: Chase | October 28, 2012 at 01:33 PM
Cornerback blitz by Jimmy Wilson. Sack.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 28, 2012 at 01:34 PM
Our defense is awesome. We are going to need them today with our starter out of the game.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | October 28, 2012 at 01:34 PM
WOOO HOOO Special Teams!!!!!!!! Stick it to Westoff!!!
Posted by: Mike d | October 28, 2012 at 01:34 PM

This last series was a serious F**K THE JESTS moment
Posted by: MiamiD20 | October 28, 2012 at 01:36 PM
Dolphins are killing the Jets on special teams. TD on blocked punt and onside kick recovery.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 28, 2012 at 01:36 PM
hey leggo.. what do you have to say now.. horrible O and just exposed your speical teams for the 2nd time
Posted by: ncfinfan33 | October 28, 2012 at 01:36 PM
Meant edge on special teams...
Posted by: robbyhernz | October 28, 2012 at 01:36 PM
Jimmy Wilson!! Yes. This kid has been a great find. Big sack and then the blocked punt. He was a 7th round pick.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | October 28, 2012 at 01:36 PM
How about that PERSONAL protector TBOW...time for TBOW TO GO....away....hahahaha what a joke..
Posted by: Mike W | October 28, 2012 at 01:36 PM
Alright!!!
McDaniel.
We need Starks on the run D.
Our team is bringing it...
\
OMG...what a game our guys are playing.
What a game.
If only Tanny comes back, worried about Starks.
New day for this team. no more "curse.
The Sporanos and Wandstedt Fins wouldn't have got ]ten a safety, not a TD
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 28, 2012 at 01:36 PM

GO DOLPHINS!!!
Posted by: dolfanSF | October 28, 2012 at 01:36 PM
Kris,
Ur right. Our boy Philbin is deadly with a extra week to plan!
Go for the jugular!
Do we need another pass rusher? Vernon is the truth!
Posted by: Dashi | October 28, 2012 at 01:37 PM
Jimmy Wilson starting to bloom this yr :D
Posted by: Joey | October 28, 2012 at 01:37 PM
Love that Jimmy plays angry!!!
Posted by: robbyhernz | October 28, 2012 at 01:37 PM
The result of this game has been pre-determined by the Fascist Goodell & his Twenty-One Club expense account cronies including one Woodrow "Woody" Johnson
Posted by: Emo | October 28, 2012 at 01:37 PM
LOVE MY FINS....LETS GET CREATIVE....
Find ways to score...PHILBIN FOR PRESIDENT....
Posted by: Kris | October 28, 2012 at 01:37 PM
Mando
Any word on Tanne's possible return?
Posted by: 72perfectstill | October 28, 2012 at 01:37 PM
Keep Carpenter close...still hooking
Posted by: cocoajoe | October 28, 2012 at 01:37 PM
Any word on Tannehill. Loving the special teams.
Posted by: KS | October 28, 2012 at 01:37 PM
Tannehill???
Posted by: fbd2707748 | October 28, 2012 at 01:38 PM
Jimmy Wilson MVP today.
Trust in Philbin
Posted by: Kappowski | October 28, 2012 at 01:38 PM
Tannehill injury is now changed to left quad and Knee. Questionable to return.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | October 28, 2012 at 01:39 PM
Wouldn't we love a TO?
Would be maybe the best first quarter in a LONG time.
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 28, 2012 at 01:39 PM
The funny part is even with Tanny out. We still have the better QB
Posted by: Chase | October 28, 2012 at 01:39 PM
True Chase!
Posted by: robbyhernz | October 28, 2012 at 01:41 PM
sparano!!!
Posted by: Deranged Ostrich | October 28, 2012 at 01:41 PM
Sheesh, Mando. Hope the knee isn't hyper-extended, but that's what it first looked like.
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 28, 2012 at 01:41 PM
I have a feeling this play will get Overturned.. Just the way things been going
Posted by: Chase | October 28, 2012 at 01:42 PM
Corner blitz a plenty today
Posted by: DEFinFan | October 28, 2012 at 01:42 PM
Fins ball!!!
Moore HAS to show something, not sure if coaches will trust him. Maybe a screen to slow down the rush.
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 28, 2012 at 01:42 PM
Sanchize taking his time in th pocket!!
Posted by: robbyhernz | October 28, 2012 at 01:42 PM
LETS GO MIAMI.....HURRICANE Dolphins!!!
Posted by: Deranged Ostrich | October 28, 2012 at 01:43 PM
Soliai with a pick!
This game is just to sweet!
Yep, mass harikiri! At the end of this game for jets fan!
Posted by: Dashi | October 28, 2012 at 01:43 PM
Ha...wished for the TO.
Keep it in the middle
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 28, 2012 at 01:43 PM
All the stupid dumb fans that thought that they would be winning by 2 TDs and thiking this would be an easy game.
I think we play it close to the best. We are winning the Turnover battle and making all the big plays in this one.
Though Moore is looking pretty good so far.
