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
MATT marino!!!

Mando, get up post fast!! Don't wanna wait till 10 min have gone off the clock b4 it shows up.
Posted by: robbyhernz | October 28, 2012 at 01:44 PM
good first quarter. Dolphins dominating Jets on all phases. Not sure if Moore should be running the no huddle offense though?
Posted by: Mike d | October 28, 2012 at 01:45 PM
Matt Moore
Probably the best backup QB in the league
Posted by: 72perfectstill | October 28, 2012 at 01:45 PM
Leggooooo in the words of Chris Carter.. Where ya at?
Posted by: ncfinfan33 | October 28, 2012 at 01:45 PM
Who IS this Dolphins team I'm watching? THAT'S how you start a division game off a bye week! Everything but the injury to Tannehill has been PERFECT! Keep it up team!
Posted by: DC Dolfan | October 28, 2012 at 01:45 PM
WHAT A QUARTER. Maybe the best defense quarter in the past couple of years.
If we get 7 here, I really hope Coyle turns the dogs loose on Sanchez, as they can't run.
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 28, 2012 at 01:45 PM
That was some beautiful pass from Matt Moore.
Posted by: oscar canosa | October 28, 2012 at 01:45 PM
Love the aggressive Coaching. Take that Tony!
Posted by: DC Dolfan | October 28, 2012 at 01:46 PM
Feel like a throw to Fasano here.
Posted by: IMAWriter | October 28, 2012 at 01:46 PM
Should we keep it close to the best today with Tannehill out. We are getting all the turnovers and big plays today. Though Matt Moore is playing pretty well so far. It is great to have a quality back up behind your franchise QB.

Naked bootleg!!

Come on. Just give it to lane
Posted by: Chase | October 28, 2012 at 01:46 PM
I have absolute faith in Moore. Off the bench, he's a gamer (just don't want him to be the starter).

Irish guy in Dubai absolutely loving this commitment by the Dolphins. Brilliant.

Lucky Jets. Get this one by a TOE...
Posted by: Chase | October 28, 2012 at 01:48 PM
Could have gone either way, of course it's the same ref making the call that didn't throw the flag. Vegas investigation? He's trying to help these Jests any way he can.
Ref for Jests MVP
Posted by: MiamiD20 | October 28, 2012 at 01:49 PM
Need 7 here!!! Force Sanchize to bring them back by throwing!! Crucial 3rd down coming up!!!
Posted by: robbyhernz | October 28, 2012 at 01:49 PM
Joe better borrow Rex's knee pads and napkin if he expects to get this call overturned
Posted by: guppies | October 28, 2012 at 01:49 PM
Sure. Throw it.
Posted by: oscar canosa | October 28, 2012 at 01:49 PM
That was a great pass to Fasano. Although it looks like his foot may have been on the line. Moore is balling today.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | October 28, 2012 at 01:50 PM
What's up with the super jets fan as a commentator! HAD TO PUT THE RADIO ON! It's just to much for Dashi!
It sounds like Aloca and his 1001 characters are announcing the game!
No problem! 21-0 here we come! Well 24-0 with the fg!
Posted by: Dashi | October 28, 2012 at 01:50 PM
I still like the gamble by Philbin.
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | October 28, 2012 at 01:51 PM
Woooooooo-hoooooooooo!!!!!!!! Tough run Thomas!!! Good job baby!!!!!
Posted by: robbyhernz | October 28, 2012 at 01:51 PM
What can be take as an insult? Don't you know that Salsa is a dance, the traditional social dance of the Cubans? Oh, man! And am I the ignorant? there is no single word there that could be taken as mean, yet Dashi's answer saying I am an ingnorant is a direct referense to my person.
Yet, I really do not care.
Posted by: Lutz Alexander Keferstein | October 28, 2012 at 01:53 PM
Philbin is out coaching Ryan in this one. Philbin might actually be the find of the year for the Dolphins. I knew that he would be ready for this one. He has been great with the half time adjustments all year and now with two weeks to prepare, you had a feeling this was coming. 17-0
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | October 28, 2012 at 01:54 PM
Why is Spitler out there
Posted by: 72perfectstill | October 28, 2012 at 01:56 PM
Best game of the year minus all the freaking injuries!!!!! Football Gods not letting me thoroughly enjoy this 1st half shellacking!
Posted by: robbyhernz | October 28, 2012 at 01:56 PM
Where's Dansby?
Posted by: robbyhernz | October 28, 2012 at 01:58 PM
I'm just checking in to say hi to all the Jets PITA's who love to hang around the Herald chats and talk smack. Hi, guys! How's it goin?
Posted by: dolfan650 | October 28, 2012 at 02:01 PM
Why can I never see the quarter by quarter blog updates
Posted by: qbclub13 | October 28, 2012 at 02:06 PM
Still don't see a blog for the 2 quarter
Posted by: qbclub13 | October 28, 2012 at 02:06 PM
Too many injuries
Need another bye week
Posted by: 72perfectstill | October 28, 2012 at 02:07 PM
No 2nd quarter blog? Mando just needs todo halfs.
Posted by: popncaps551 | October 28, 2012 at 02:07 PM
The Dansby injury is big. We do not have depth at that position. What is the injury with Dansby?
Posted by: Orlando Dolphan | October 28, 2012 at 02:08 PM
WOW!!..... WTF.... Rex's knee pads and napkin is working overtime!!!
Posted by: guppies | October 28, 2012 at 02:26 PM
If the wets score they can thank Rex's skillful lip work on the refs!!!
Posted by: guppies | October 28, 2012 at 02:28 PM
NFL needs to stop these early whistles. They have now cost us a potential fumble recovery and a long pass reception by Bess. I realize they're being safety consceious, but c'mon....let em play the game.
Posted by: Hawkphin | October 28, 2012 at 02:32 PM
Lets continue with the tough play in the 2nd half Fins. I hope none of the injuries are serious.
Trust in Philbin
Posted by: Kappowski | October 28, 2012 at 02:40 PM
Nothing is better than putting a beat down on the Jets. Got to get Tanny back in there if he can play.

There are 3 postures in which human's sleep- back, stomach and side.A safe density for a memory foam that will fit most sleepers would be 4 lb.This density mattress is heavier, more temperature sensitive, usually stiffer, and bounces back more slowly.This will assist to prevent your mattress from wearing out quickly.

Visco foam density one of the most important factors to consider when purchasing a mattress or topper.Meanwhile, you cannot test the density of a foam by just feeling or touching it.This will allow you to check into the online retailer without the rose-colored glasses and filtered testimonials that may be provided on their own web site.A prorated warranty means that after a designated number of years, the manufacturer will pay a portion of the mattress replacement or repair.
