Live blogging action today during the game
The Steve Fifita experiment is over the Dolphins.
A lot of you asked me during the week why it was that rookie Paul Soliai was not active for last week's game while Steve Fifita took his spot. Well, today Fifita is inactive and Soliai is active again.
Truth be told, neither has been outstanding in giving vet Keith Traylor time to rest during games. On another front, as I reported earlier this week, cornerback Michael Lehan is starting in place of Travis Daniels who has moved to safety.
And, by the way, the Lorenzo Booker inactive streak is at three games now, which kinda stinks since the Dolphins season is only three games old.
I will be blogging live during the game.

Whats your prediction Armando? I think we have a good chance today.. lets hope last weeks TG dont show
I'm picking the Dolphins. I just don't think a whole lot of the Jets, especially with Pennington being at less than 100 percent.
And I hear you on Green.
Dolphins start the game in double tight end and Chris Chambers does not start.
Good mix so far for the offense. Run, pass, pass, first down.
These short passes are good management and later on, once the defense rolls up, Miami can go deeper.
wow, Im impressed,, Listening to the game.. but sounds good so far.. tryin not to get my hopes up
Can the Dolphins actually run the ball? Or is the Jet's run defense as porous as Miami's? The Dolphins offensive line looks pretty good thus far.
Reagan Mauia needs to block better. He doesn't stick with his blocks at all.
Shelton gives up Shaun Ellis first sack of the year. IT IS THE JETS FIRST SACK OF THE YEAR.
So much for the OL protecting Trent. Pathetic. If this continues, Trent's brain is going to go from scrambled eggs to fried.
First down, Jets come out in three wide and Will Allen drops an easy interception.
vonnie Holliday good pressure on second down. Incomplete
Crowd boos handoff on third down, showing displeasure with the home team already. It'll be a looong day for them.
Jason Allen hurts his team AGAIN with a holding penalty. Penalty costs team about 20 yards.
i like what i see so far 3 and out for the defense
How can you even say that Fifita wasn't that effective, it takes a little more than 10 plays to get the job done, he barely played last week. If you remember in he pre season, while having extensive playing time he was quite productive. Keith Traylor didn't get rested vey much last week and maybe Fifita should have been in there more. Traylor & Soliai have been less productive than Fifita who doesn't get driven off the ball like the other two. If you gave Fifita half a chance he could be a huge difference. Size doesn't matter, look at Zach Thomas. Get over the eye test and look at productivity.
ronnie its gonna have a great day that will open up the passing game let's just hope the receivers don't drop passes
Brown on first two downs. But OL not getting it done.
Green throws behind Martin. At least it wasn't an interception.
Who started in Chambers Place? When is Coach gonna get JA off the field.. obviously he SUCKS!!!
Offside Holliday on first down
Jets going to no huddle. Hurrying up. Good coverage by Lehan on second down.
Watching Crowder in the middle. He took the wrong lane to the runner on third down. First down.
No pressure and Cotchery kills Miami zone for 19 yards.
Personal foul roughing on Crowder. I thought he hit Pennington as he threw the ball, but it was a blow to the head.
Joey Porter, by the way, still invisible.
who blew that coverage on Kotcherie? Pathetic.
How many gratuitous, self-destructive penalties can a team inflict upon itself?
They're running right at Porter. And nothing.
Once again, the Dolphins defense is showing no ability to stop the run. You cannot win any games that way. None.
Movement by the Jets offensive line, saving Miami from embarrassment on this play.
Typical of this season. Teams spread the field with three or four wide and then run successfully.
We need a new punter!
Dolphins benched Travis Daniels this week, but Jets found him anyway. Touchdown Jets.
this freaking secondary always gives up the big play to damn pennington it's deja vu all over again
That punt killed the Dolphins field position, but it was the defense getting pushed around.
they only had to drive 45 yards....poor all round
Pathetic Pathetic Pathetic.
This team looks considerably worse than last year's thus far. The defense has regressed and the offense has stagnated.
Maybe Saban was right. Mueller should have been fired.
well i guess it's the same story the jets kicking our behinds again same old same old
we need a new team!
let's see if we can answer the jets drive this next drive will determine how the dolphins offense it's gonna be the rest of the game
i really like what i see from ronnie today
when you have a semblance of a running game, you can complete passes like the won Green just completed.
at least seem to be committed to ronnie and the running game....
Good play calling on the screen.
beautiful play calling
Illegal hands for the face give the Dolphins a first down. Chambers was 1 on 1 vs. rookie first round pick Revis.
The Jets' first round picks get on the field.
give to ronnie
Dolphins throw to jason taylor, draws a pass interference.
Ronnie Brown in the end zone for miami's first rushing TD.
touchdown dammit
good drive beautiful play calling the offense sure it's looking good now now defense gotta step up
P H I N S PHINS PHINS PHINS!
Brown has 9 rushes for 41 yards. He is averaging 4.6 yards per rush and he has every carry for the Dolphins.
Leon Washington just went 98 yards for a TD. And Miami's special teams suck.
that one hurts
That is just shitty coaching
come on offense let's hit them right back
Anyone wanna play special teams?
Dolphins picking on Revis.
Dolphins riding Brown on both run and pass.
good drive let's score now
I'm watching Satele he is sucking. The guy who just hit Green on the incomplete? Satele's guy.
go for it
How much undiscipline, inept mistakes can a team make in one game?
Gratuitous Penalites, Blown Coverage, and a TD Return.
This team look wretched in every facet of the game.
Stupid, undiscipline, slovenly, doddering, slow, and inept.
Kudos to Cam on the 4th and One call, though.
From Armando's analysis here, there are no players on the Dolphins that are any good. Perhaps they should just disband the team and forfeit the rest of the season?
Twelve men in the huddle on offense. Stupid. And of course, Brown gets tackled behind the line on this one.
Over-reliance on Brown. Share the wealth Cameron...
Booker never got any separation on third down. Feely from 31 yards out on fourth down. 14-10 Jets.
you have to expect penalties and turnovers from a team like this. ie: new coach, new QB, rookies, no confidence. It all adds up.
In case you haven't noticed, the Dolphins are LOSING to an 0-2 team. Want me to tell you how great things are going?
Hey Armando, web pages for live blogs like this should update automatically with the most recent post at the TOP....and chance the Herald can enter the 21st century?
Good job by Spragan on first-down tackle.
Vonnie Holliday is Miami's best defensive player so far today. Sack by him for 9 yard loss.
Joey Porter shows up with 5:36 left in the second quarter with his first tackle.
Nice play by Porter
Ted Ginn the dancing machine!
Illegal shift nullifies an 18 yard gain.
'mando,
I think Vernon Carey is coming along rather nicely. What you think?
Brown is kicking butt today, in part, because he's not dancing. He seems decisive and aggressive.
ginn has looked better no thanks to jason allen
Green should have thrown it to Ginn on the incomplete to Brown. Ginn was open downfield.
what happened to the good old days under Shula when the Fins were the least penalized team in the NFL.
Chambers open across the middle. Great protection and Green enjoying what it's like to throw with a good running game working in his favor.
Trent Green is bouncing back as well. Still, I wish we would have gone after Jeff Garcia or Matt Schaub.
Is it my imagination, Mando, or does Green fixate on his primary receiver. When he was in KC, I remember him seeing the field much better and finding the open guy.
Is it the line or is Green still skittish because of the concussions?
Helicopter: I agree Carey has been better than predicted at LT. Considering it's his first year at the position, you got to think he might make this experiment into a success.
i smell TD
Pretty exciting game...in the battle to see who gets the lower draft pick in 2008.
Dolphin put together a good drive. But you've got to finish with TDs not FGs. Jets came with blitz on last play and Miami OL had no clue.
Where was the blitz protection? My eight-year daughter just yelled, "Watch Trent, they're going to blitz."
ok we got to start scoring in the redzone more often but i take the 3 points for now
Offense is looking good this half Brown is doing awsome.
i still say we should have kept wes welker. i loved having him on this team. he was a gamer.
Feely is killing them with these ridiculous kickoffs. Special teams suck right now!
More dreadful Special Teams play. Are the Fins that scared of Leon Washington that they squibbed a kick?
What is wrong with this team! Why do they make so many MENTAL mistakes.
Pennington moving pretty well in the pocket. I'm surprised.
this defense needs to step up for real
Andre' Goodman in the game.
No pressure from DL ... Very frustrating.
Have any of you ever seen a Dolphins football team with a lower football IQ, that makes so many mental mistakes and suffers so many mental lapses.
Been a Dolphin fan since 1980 and only Wannstedt's 4-12 team exceeded this one for sheer idiocy.
We've won the time of possesion battle signficantly in the first half. This 'should' mean the defense will be fresh for the whole second half. If they fade again this time, it will be hard to pretend any longer we have a defense.
aaarrrrrrrgghgghgh!
Back-to-back one handed catches by the JEts. OUCH.
No excuse for that drive. From the Special Teams to the Defensive play, the Fins exhibited criminal incompetence.
we have a knack for making other teams look good!
Way to step up D, Cameron has no brains. WHy squib kick with over a minute left.
...and the Jets go into the lockerroom with the big MO.
I'm sorry but Championship caliber defense, check that, good defenses don't fold like that at the end of a half after their offense has gotten the game close.
Your lookind at the Cardinals of the east. Chad Pennington? Are you kidding me?
Friggin' incredible. Two straight one-handed catches where the Dolphins were actually getting away with defensive penalties. Clear defensive holding not being called on the first one, clear defensive pass interference not being called on the second one. So, even when we cheat, we can't come close. Best half of offensive football this team has played in a long, long time, and it's still only 13 points and it's still an 8-point halftime deficit. Great coaching by Camoron Camoron, from abandoning the run at the 2:00 minute warning to the squib kick. One boneheaded decision after another. If the Jets take the second-half squib kick (heck, why not onsides it?) and score a TD, this team will quit and the final could well be 42 or 49 to 13. We're the worst franchise in football, and to make matters worse, we're OLD. It's still going to somehow get worse before it gets better. If this team wins a game, I'll be shocked.
this defense and special team really stinks
Keith Traylor, who????? Is he even playing today. Why complain about Soliai and Fifita, Truck is barely playing and Soliai isn't either.
Let's face it, if they don't come back and win this game, we are all just a bunch of losers so bored with life we have nothing better to do than waste time getting upset and feeling sorry for extremely highly paid charlatans. The joke is on us.
Is Porter going to return the money?
my fat cat would make better decisions than this coaching staff f...ing kick the damn ball to the end who the hell is leon washington he is not even as close as devin hester
1. The whole Special Teams unit has to go!
2. Why do you throw the ball 3 times, with 2 minutes to go, inside the red zone, when RB has over 100 yards?
3. Why go for the squibb kick & give them short field position?
ercx,
you forgot to include the offense, coaching staff and ownership
i am sick i cant believe they score on us under 2 minutes 2 freaking minutes are u kidding me
This team masturbates so much they have no legs left to play the game.
terrible coach decisions on first half produce 8 point lead by the jets.
They play to lose
Who really cares if we win this game today or not? Either way, we are clearly one of the poorer teams in the league with absolutely ZERO chance of making the playoffs or contending for the SuperBowl this year. Winning this game will only prove which of these two teams is worse...whoopdy-doo.
Go outdoors or spend some time with the family, because this game is meaningless in the scheme of things, and this season is a wash.
Joe Toledo: "Physically unable to perform"
Is that a joke? They are all "Physically unable to perform."
Except JT and ZT
yep you right helicopter just burn them all alive and start a new franchise
Bad enough the offense and defense s##ks....now add the special teams!!!!
First week the defense was the goat, last week TG was the goat, this week Cam is the goat, next week it will just be someone else.
Positives:
Trent Green has not fumbled while trying to spike the ball.
Negatives:
Everything else.
Honestly, this franchise should just fold. If the weather wasn't so lousy, I would go out.

Have some pride in your team man.
See if you can fill in the blank...
This team would be worse if ______
I couldn't come up with anything.
Defense is once again folding in critical situations. Secondary needs to make some big plays to keep up and stop the run. Pass defense is passable, no pun intended, but too many broken coverages are present. Given the stats, you would think the Dolphins would be currently holding a 10 point lead, but defense and special teams have allowed the Jets to score some easy points.
Special teams though seems to be the weakest link here. Brandon Fields is a bit inconsistent. Ginn, while he is improving, still needs to work on running straight ahead, rather than trying to juke the tacklers. That works in college but not in the pros, where the opposing players are that much faster. 98-TD return was an utter abortion of a play that should have never happened.
At least the offense is playing more efficiently. The running game is on and Green has made the majority of his passes with relatively few drops by the receivers. It's just a shame that the defense isn't showing up! On paper they look good, but so far, they aren't making plays or even putting on whole lot of pressure on Pennington.
defense it's now or never
Quick fix idea...change the team name to the Miami Dafodils and make their uniforms pink. All this will be quite acceptable from there after.
This team is just bad technically. On the end around, Taylor has the inside and Allen has the outside, yet Allen doesn't take the right pursuit lane and lets Brad Smith get wide of him.
this one's over jets 58 dolphins 13
Unbelievable. Taylor and Holliday coming on the field, but Soliai doesn't get off the field. so Dolphins flagged five yards for too many men on the field. Of course, the Dolphins were also offsides. So the offsides is accepted.
Here is the recipe for beating the dolphins: run or pass on every play.
They're running right at Joey Porter when he lines up at DE.
More penalties. Cameron has been outcoached every game. THIS IS THE WORST TEAM IN THE COUNTRY.
why do i even bother watching this crap i am a loser
That's showin' 'em!
Don't see how Miami can win without forcing NY into a FG.
Here is the recipe for beating the dolphins: run or pass on every play.
let's see if the offense can keep up the good play
This is the third game of the season now. The defense should be in form, up to speed by now. It is safe to say they hung on to this group one year too long, they are an old, tired bunch. It doesn't take much of a drop off to go from excellent to mediocre or below. They can't hide from the REBUILD word any longer.
Fire Dom Capers, he sucks!
Let's recap...
We're running all over the Jets, yet at the 2:00 warning, in scoring position, all three timeouts, we throw three straight passes.
We squib kick, not with 30 seconds left, but with over a minute-and-a-half left.
And now we have to burn a timeout because we don't have the proper personnel on the field for a chip shot field goal attempt.
Cam CaMoron makes Rich Kotite look like Vince Lombardi. I don't know how in the hell Huizenga found a coach worse than Wannstache and Satan, but, God bless him, he found one.
Heaven help us. We really are that bad... To the Jets again! How very sad.
I cant belive are def sucks this much what happened to them how can one year make such a bib diff
FIRECAMCAMERON.COM
This moron shouldn't even be allowed to coach Pee Wee football.
Armando, your suggestion to trade JT is getting more logical by the second. Good call.
just give it to ronnie
i just want to say bring back wanstat, you did not realize how good we had it boys,we cant even win a game now at least with wanny we were winning 9 or 10 games. we made are beds now we as dolphin fans must lay in it.
TG is due for his quartely interception.
Dolphins face third down. Carey false start. Miami is 1 of 6 in third down efficiency today.
What a change huh when Dan was here we had no Def or run game, after Dan left we had no OFF, now we have an OFF again and the Deff has gone on vacation
look at the bright side, that is better than 0 ad 6.
Incomplete. Incomplete. Penalty. And that's how we're going to be 0-3.
I am done with trent green time to see john beck
well good old green it's back take the freaking sack you moron
I bet even Notre Dame could beat the crap out of the Dolphins!
Way to go Cam, why would we want to draft a QB when we can just go to the geriatric ward to find one.
I do have to admit Ted Ginn can call a fair catch better than anyone!
Here we go, throwing it up for grabs again.
I called it! TG makes his quarterly interception! THROW THE BUM OUT ALREADY!!!!
Pardon me. Incomplete. Incomplete. Penalty. Interception. That's how we're going to be 0-3!!!
Can't take any more of this today. See you in the funny papers.
Go Guppies!
I called it! TG makes his quarterly interception! THROW THE BUM OUT ALREADY!!!
The best defensive play Jason Taylor can make right now is snapping Trent Green's arm in half!
that offside just cost us the game MARK MY WORDS
there we go again pennington killing the secondary
Armando has been quiet. Is there a bottle involved?
Dierdorf has a man crush on Pennington, enough already.
Someone needs to give Trent Green some Geritol!
What loser will randy the moron and Cam the buffoon draft at #1....
BRING BACK JOE ROBBIE!!!!!!!!!
BRING BACK DON SHULA!!!!!!!!!!
BRING BACK DAN MARINO!!!!!!!!!!
BRING BACK THE BLACKWOOD BROTHERS!!
BRING BACK ABDUL-JABR!!!!!!
BECAUSE THIS YEARS TEAM SUCKS,
1-15 RECORD 2007 SEASON OUR 1 WIN WILL BE THE RAIDERS NEXT WEEK!!!!!!
GO DOLPHINS, THIS IS BULL SHIT!!!!
trully cant belive it I THINK THIS IS THE WORST DOLPHIN TEAM I EVER WATCH THIS IS GOING TO BE A LON LONG LONG YEAR
please put john beck in let's just throw the season away we are pathetic
3rd and 17 for christ sake
I would like to see our new rookie quarterback get some experience here. I can't believe the Dolphins staff is so delusional to think that they're actually going to salvage something from this team.
please make a stop now
this dolphins defense, if it was ever elite, is definitely not elite any more.
my 80 year old grandma can run on this team with one leg
Cam needs to step up and admit TG was a mistake. Otherwise he is admitting this is what we brought him in for. TG is over the hill and not coming back. Show some cajones Cam and do the right think now.
McFadden or Brohm!
Hot off the ESPN press... Cam and Trent are secret lovers.
armando stop predicting dolphins wins maybe you should predict a loss so we can squeeze a win at least this year
I've just talked to Ty Pennington, and he agrees; total extreme makeover for the Dolphins: new owner, new coaches, new players, new GM. By the way, Mike Tomlin sure looks pretty good right now.
Why start Green at this point? Seriously, this season is over. We should be using this pathetically ridiculous time to get some snaps for Beck.
pennington at 1 percent can still kill the dolphins
this cant be more painfull
I have been a dolphin fan for over 30 years and only missed a few games. I am getting to the point that this is to painful to watch. It looks like the defense and special teams are going backwards.
NOT GOOD
Um, I predicted the Dolphins would lose last week and they did. So this is NOT my fault.
mando,
the defense feeds off the offense. not the other way around. if the offense would show up, the defense would do much better. that's my .02 anyway
Looks like th 'Fins are quitting again. Where did Daniels learn how to tackle? He just got punked.
Travis Daniels just proved that when he reaches between his legs all he feels is a big gaping hole.
He just got bitch slapped!
Nick Mangold is schooling Keith Traylor. Sad.
... And as if on cue, Jets recognize how soft Miami is up the middle. So the run Pennington, with a bad ankle, right up the middle.
with one leg pennington just score unbelievable
This team is a FUCKING joke!
1st - Denial
2nd - Regret
3rd - Depresion
4th - Anger
5th - Acceptance
in fact i trully DONT think there is any other team who SUKCS right now more than the dolphins WHYYY GOD WHYYYYY
I guess we'll hear the same excuses, the same ones we've been heaing since Wannstache was here. "we just need to go look at the film and correct our mistakes".
travis you just made the all pansy team!!!
Boy, this Jets offense looks SuperBowl calibre! How the heck did they get shut down by the Pats and Ravens in the first 2 games?
