Live blogging action today during the game
First let me tell you the Dolphins today are trying to avoid their ninth consecutive loss dating back to last year. If they are not successful, it would mark the first time in franchise history that they have lost nine consecutive games.
Having said that, this is the healthiest the Miami defense has been in a month.
Channing Crowder will be back in the lineup at weakside linebacker today. Obviously Zach Thomas, who missed a couple of games, is back. Donovin Darius, who was missed last week when Cameron Worrell played (poorly) in his place, is also back today.
The only major missing player is Vonnie Holliday, who is still nursing a fractured ankle.
The No. 2 quarterback today is John Beck, which marks the first time he is on the active roster on game day. The Dolphins are going with only four receivers active today for the first time this season.

Come on, give us a W one time!!
Can we get the TVU going this week, again.
Is Ginn gonna be the 3rd receiver today?
Ginn and Hagan will share third receiver chores today. You'll see Ginn a lot.
Glazer just showed the Joey Porter 4 on 1 fight in Vegas w/ Levi Jones.
Why did we sign this turd.
I believe this is Ginn's breakout game today. Returns and receiving.
Can someone stream the game on TVU?
What the heck was that kickoff formation? All of the players lined up behind Feely and then ran down as Feely kicks. Of course, the return goes to the 40 and then Patrick Cobbs gets gets called for unnecessary roughness.
Dolphins holding the line of scrimmage on second down run. Good job.
Edwards victimizes Darius on a square in route. first down.
Joey Porter as DE is not going to get any pressure.
Anderson has all day to throw. they attack Lehan who is called for Pass Interference on Joe Jurevicious (from now on calling him JJ).
Why isn't Goodman starting yet?
LEHAN SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
Channing Crowder goes airborne to stop a run, but Wright on second effort get in the end zone. TD
Umpire is down....Shucks
Can someone stream the game on TVU?
Daniels was a product of Saban, this staff must have no faith in him after those first 2 games.
worst part of this season is that well get the number 1 pick and there is no clear cut number 1 selection thi syear. we better trade down and get more picks, like a late 1st and a 2nd. We suck so bad its almost funny.

So two penalties -- a late hit on the kickoff and PI on third down -- and the Dolphins give up a score on the first drive. Stupid stuff.
Looks like they will be attacking the Phins by air today.
Keep hearing they're working on getting things corrected but they have yet to stop anyone on 3rd down all year.
install sopcast, then go to http://myp2p.eu/NFL.htm in your browser and select the game. I am streaming it from Argentina right now.
So, you think Atlanta is sick of Deangelo Hall? I'd give up a First round pick for him
Some Miami Dolphins players have been complaining to friends about the team's personnel moves including quarterback and the decision to spend big money at linebacker (Joey Porter) instead of upgrading the secondary. Another bemoaned how the Dolphins probably will release Ricky Williams and get nothing back.

Ginn on the kickoff return. He just seems to take a long time to get going.
Wow, this may be the worst Secondary I've ever seen, and where is the pass rush?
It's going to be a long game. Maybe I'll just go drum.
Good luck Dolphins!!!
DrumFinFan
Well, here we are, what not even 5 minutes into game & already dumb ass feely gets a pitiful 15 yard penalty & yet AGAIN, sorry ass D fense cant stop a 3rd & 11!! Oh well, pass interference on DB in end zone & easy score for Cleveland...more vomit to come!!
Dolphins in 3 WRs on first down. Want to throw to Ginn, but he wasn't open and Lemon had no time.
Lemon, first snap, sacked on a bootleg
Brilliant playcall on 1st down, don't give to Ronnie
JOHN BECK.......WHY DO WE EVEN BOTHER WITH FRIGGIN LEMON?
Brown for 11 yards on first carry. Let me see ... Dolphins starting Lemon at QB and Brown at RB. GIVE IT TO BROWN!!!
2nd pass play deflected, luckily not intercepted
Yuck. That series looked awful. No good protection and Cleo couldn't find throwing lane.
Brown needs 30+ touches for us to have any chance.
I have a prediction for the next series. Our secondary will get burned on 3rd and long....
Cameron just sent Green to the locker room to suit up...Beck is obeing put on the inactive list
I need a drink!!!
Ted Ginn is a Miamua dolphin...who gives a sh...t, this guy is plain SKEEERED!!
I see 2nd string Lemon doesnt know how to throw the ball out of bounds when no one is open..better to take sack & loose yardage!...yeah thats it!
Oh well, 3 and out for Fins O...looong day ahead!
One thing about underestimating the Cleveland pass D. Yes, it is ranked 31st in the NFL.
BUT...
They played against Tom Brady, they played against Carson Palmer, they played against Ben Rothlisberger. They are not facing anybody close to those guys today.
Looked like miscommunication on the first pass, 2nd down run stopped well. Here comes 3rd down
OMG, they stopped them on 3rd down!
Dolphins zone blitzed on third down. Darius rushed, JT rushed, Porter covered.
Can the Dolphin D get a 3 and out???
WOW, they did it!!
Teddy with a short punt return 11 yards
What a waste o a 1st draft pick.
Yeah, Miamua Dolphin Ted Ginn had a crease but he curled up! Yeah, he's an awesome 1st round pick for these Dolphins!
RONNIE BROWN, THE NEW LT! HE'S IN THEMIX SO FAR FOR OFF. MVP ALONG WITH (OF COURSE) BRADY/MOSS.
Teddy will be fine people! Mark my words
Brown, sweep, 9 yards
That's right, give it to Brown. He has completely changed his style since preseason. Very good.
RB catch out of the backfield, 10 yards
Brown, 14 yard sweep
Great blocking on that stretch play. Brown ran for 11 yards before he was even touched.
THIS LINE IS STARTING TO BLOCK FOR BROWN, HE IS DOING GREAT. WE JUST NEED A QB FOR GODS SAKE. WHY DONT WE SEE WHAT WE HAVE IN BECK SO WE KNOW IF WE NEED A QB WITH OUR 1ST OVERALL PICK IN APRIL?
Ronnie looks like a completely different running back, no hesitating at all.
Run Ronnie Run, If thats all that will work...POUNDEM with BROWN!!!
Cleo just got away with a terrible decision -- throwing the ball into crowd with three defenders.
Lemon, on the road, too high, deflected
LEMON CANT SEE THE FIELD FOR SHIT
Can Ronnie just take the snap and run. Get Cleo out of there.
Ronnie was tentative and hesitant for 2 seasons under Saban. Now under Cam he is possessed, attacking, athletic...Gotta give both Cam and Brown credit for that.
O Clemon, please dont throw the ball!
That is Chis Chamber's 400th career catch. Third down.
Chambers NICE catch, short of first down
first down, qb sneak
Lemon on the QB sneak. First down. The offensive line is doing a great job. Outstanding.
Win some, lose some. Browns win at the line of scrimmage on that one.
Brown swarmed, NO blocking
Finish Finish Finish the drive!!!
Lemon tipped AGAIN, can we PLEASE see Beck now?
CLEMON LOOKS GOOD, I LIKE HOW CAM IS PUTTING HIM IN MOTION, STRETCH THIS DEFENSE OUT AND GET THE BALL TO PEELE.
Lemon's arm was hit as he released the ball. Dolphins lucky that wasn't a turnover.
ooooo, Clemon is gonna blow it....its gunna happen!
PLEASE Get Cleo out of there!!!!!
Mauia whiffs on 90% of his blocks.
This Clemon sucks...hes not seeing the field and throwing into too much traffic!!
Chambers dropped ball on 3rd and long
C-LEMON IS GOOD GIVE HIMA CHANCE PEOPLE
By the way, Reagan Mauia gets a lot of credit for being a great blocker. I haven't seen any consistency in that yet and he was the guy who let the LB get to Lemon as he threw.
well...at least we'll get '3's all day
The new franchise name should be the Miami Field Goal Machines. Thats all they ever do
Feely remains perfect for the season. 7-3, Browns.
heh thanks Armando, some of us need this blog to vent & release our frustrations! lol
We are done. They now know to zero in of ronnie becuase cleo is off.
HOW IS A TIPPED PASS LEMON'S FAULT?
Look another drive STALLED! Lets swap field goals for TD"S today. STUPID ass team!!!!!!!!!! NCFINFAN
Lemon just aint fast enough for the bootlegs and rollouts, and can't throw on the run
I've never been so nervous when we kick the ball off, I hold my breath that we actually tackle the KR.
How is a tipped pass NOT Lemon's fault?
Stop the stupid kick-off theatrics and stop the runner.
The Browns are obviously going to pick on Lehan today. Somebody mentioned it already. It is clearly time to get Goodman in the game more.
BECK, BECK, BECK, BECK!!!!!!
Lucky break, dropped pass
Ronnie Brown is the real deal, Cleo Lemon is not, and field goals will not get it done. I'm now on the start Beck bandwagon. The O-Line should be able to give him enought time to find open receivers if Ronnie can keep strutting his stuff. Let's see what he can do next week.
Did the Secondary actually make a play on that last Browns drive?
O-6 looks like a real possibility. Hard to watch, but you can't fully appreciate the good times if you don't suffer through the bad.
Go Dolphins!
DrumFinFan
JT with an excuse-me sack.
JT chased Anderson down
Lets see if we can get another '3 & out' Here we go!
WHERE IS WINSLOW ARMANDO?
3rd down, can't stop em. Imagine that
Third down. Browns move the chains. BTW, when is Will Allen going to make a play for Miami?
WISHFUL THINKIN!!!!!!!!!!!
pitch right, somebody just erased Porter from the play. All the talk in the world won't help him there.
Does the Defense (our secondary blows) realize that third and long is actually supposed to be an advantage?
Ugh!
DrumFinFan
False start eric steinbach
Will who, Armando?
wow...pushem back 5..think we can get a '3 & out'??
THESE RECIEVERS ARE WAY TOO BIG AND PHYSICAL FOR OUR CORNERS, BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS, THE BROWNS LOOK OFF TODAY, NOT AS SHARP.
WOW! Anyone wanna explain that!
OMG!!!! We can't tackle!!
Great play-call on quick screen. Rob Chudzinski from THE U is cleveland's offensive coordinator.
God get him outta there, he sucks worse than Fiedler
Ugg....15 yards....so much for 5 yard penalty. This defense really sux!!
Where is the D%$# defense?! NCFINFAN
Well, looks like they are just gonna pick us apart!
ANYBODY can move AT WILL with this LAME defense!!I am ashamed!
Tackle by Porter... 14 yard downfield on a RUNNING PLAY. Yeesh.
Uh oh, the secret weapon...3rd string running back, Miami's achilles heel!
ANyone notice they don't EVER call holding anymore? JT and Zach have been MAULED all year
run at will...itll be a looong day for this sorry bunch!!!
Cleveland has run wide on JT the last couple of plays. He's gotten sealed two of the last three plays.
Nice missed tackle by the guy you asked about, Will something...Darius saves the TD
W.h.a.t. a.n. EMBARRASSMENT!!!!!!!
This fins D spends too much time wanking it with the victoria secret flyers. Trade them in for some ice cream scoopers we'll get better results.
That is, off the top of my head, the fifth time a QB scores a running TD on this defense this year.
sigh....
Jimmy Johnson came in & created a great defense & ruined a great offense. Cam is even doing worse by not helping the offense at all & taking down a once proud defense.
LOL, 5 weeks + with this sh...t. Im embarrassed to want to follow this GARBAGE!!!!
OK "BOYS" lets get the ball back and go down and score another F'N Field Goal! NCFINFAN
man we give suck a new meaning. this team has abandonned its fans way too long now. time for us to trade what little talent we have and get draft picks. Oh and great game planning by Cameron and Capers. Our coaches couldnt coach womens volleyball, get some balls coach!!!!!!!!
Oh my...this defense is ATROCIOUS.
We're making 3rd stringers look like superstars.
Yup...a long day is before us.
. . .AND LET THE FIRE CAM COMMENTS BEGIN . . .! HERE WE GO ALL OVER AGAIN, EVERY WEEK!
You can see by this teams body language that they realize how sorry & what loosers they actually are....I am truly disappointed & saddened!
I think I look forward to my surgery on Tuesday than I do watching the rest of this game. This really hurts. Ouch!
Go 'Fins!
Well, where do you start? We can't pass, block, cover, pressure, or tackle...That about sums it up
More forward, sorry.
If Cleo doesn't get anything going on the next couple of drives, lets bring in Beck for the second half.....I mean come on....we have NOTHING to lose.
One more drive like that and the D will be winded and tired for the rest of the game. If Ronnie can't give them a rest with 19 4 yard carries, then we are looking at Clevland 38, fairies 9.
...Ted Ginn....ahh, penalty ta boot on kickoff, what discipline, huh? lol
Terrible pass on a screen to Brown, wobbled and dropped after a holding penalty on the kickoff return....Long day ahead...
I see no improvement in any area at all from previous games...that's the most frustrating part.
Wonderful first quarter play by these awesome talented Dolphins, huh? VOMIT!!
Well, good news is I'll try to walk on next mini camp, lol
Armando, you must really suffer having to be apart of this calamity, huh? Oh but what the heck, at least yur gettin paid for it, lol!
Second quarter starts with a bad run by Brown, he missed the hole.
do you all think the dolphins are quitting already?
Breaking News...
NFL will replace Dolphins in London game...team to be named later.
SLOPPY, that's all I can say, SLOPPY!
Well, seems like another sad day for us dolfans. I truely hope that cam takes his head out of his ass and brings in the rookie.
Porter = wasted money.. ill come dance and run my mouth for half what hes gettin paid for..
but lets go fins!
Armando...are the Brown stacking all 11 defenders against the run. Is that the reason for 5 carries for Ronnie and 8 pass attempts?
Lemon is not very good on the move. He's a pocket quarterback and although he can run, a good running QB is accurate throwing on the move. Lemon is not.
iye, iye iye.....no continuity between clemon & recievers
I see Jason Allen on the field. Special teams, of course.
Why does Lemon take so long to set up, this guy is moving in slow motion.
NFL's new opponent for the Giants will be Florida International...should be a more competitive game.
yup....another '3 and out' for fins O! awesome, just awesome, you can see it in their play they 'WANT' to win!! lol
Can Cleo Lemon make a completion? In between the bad defense and the lack of a passing offense, it looks like its all downhill from here.
Going after Lehan again. Why don't the Dolphins make a change to Goodman?
OOPS, couldnt even get out of our end of the field, much less a score!
The Miami defense had no one lined up on Winslow on that play. I CANNOT believe that.
Not a very good expansion team, are they? Wow!
#1 pick, here we come...
Get better Dolphins!
DrumFinFan
Will we be seeing Beck today??? Lemon in 2/8 for 18 yards, I think its time to through that boy into the fire.
Worrell is back at safey, be prepared.
Zach already breathing heavy
And Zach burnt on the coverage
Run blitz on that last play. Renaldo Hill tackle in the backfield.
Wow...19 yard pickup on this tired OLD defense! here comes another score for Cleveland!
Armando, can you walk down to the sideline and knock some damn common sense into cam. better yet put your foot up his ass for us disappointed fans!
2 stops on running plays, here comes 3rd down...
blitz?
STOPPED!
Hmm, that was very conservative play call for 3rd down against our D
oh yeah, the Dolphin D gets excited...they only give up 3!
40 FG on Miami. By the way, no field goal kicker has missed against the Dolphins this year, either. 17-3. This is starting to be an butt kicking.
Joel, I think they KNOW they have this game in the bag. No need to take a chance on turning the ball over and giving us ANY chance
Cleveland: 17 to a paultry miami 3...ugg, this Dolphin franchise is garbage, utter DUNGHILL!!
Yes we held them to a FG thats some kind of moral victory
Somebody just offered jason allen a drink. I think he should have handed him the drink and asked him to start offering it to teammates.
Yeah, I think they don't want to run up the score.
Prediction: Lemon will do NOTHING this series...He is a reincarnation of Feely, Fiedler, Ferrote, etc
Isnt this sad, Dolphin fans...I am so disgusted at the lack of EVERYTHING of this Dolphins team!!!
heres the SAD part.. We are a very very bad team in the 4th.. they are already up 14 on us. imagine what the 4th will look like.. Hides in shame
Teddy, decent return
Jason Allen is the 5th man deep at every position in the secondary, he's valuable!
It is interesting on the kick return, Ginn looks like he's jogginf for the first 15 yards, then sees a hole and kicks it up a gear. My point: He should be in high gear the entire time instead of seemingly loafing the first 15 yards.
well at lest ginn will get a workout on Kick off returns maybe he will do something
I've asked Armando several times and never got an answer, but I can't imagine Jason Allen can be worse than ANY of the SCRUBS we have in the secondary
Anonymous, I couldnt agree with you anymore....this team is shameful in the fourth quarter..hell, this team is shameful ALL quarters!!
Armando, MOST kick returners WAIT until they have BLOCKS before they turn on the jets
The problem is the Dolphins are already so far out of this game, they now have to throw the ball.
That means their only legit weapon -- Brown -- takes a back seat.
Armando, I agree with you on Ginn. He should turn on the jets right away. Where the heck is the guy I saw return a kickoff for a TD during the national championship game last year? He looks SLOW. I wonder if his foot is STILL not 100%.
armando u must hate having to watch this embarassment of an NFL franchise?
You know, there was a time when the Cleveland Browns were on the Dolphins schedule, it was a certain win...NOT NO MORE!! This team seriously may go 0-16 or maybe steal one win & achieve 1-15...They sadly SUCK!
NO Blocking on 2 running plays
IS this the hurry up offense? oh no
Vernon Carey is down. Trainers on the field
I agree with you as well, the 4th will be pure embarassment. any odds we can find a rouge nut job and keep cam in the locker room the 2nd half?
and get a real coach in there? I know dreams are just that, but we can always hope
on a side note, the KC - Cincy game is on and Surtain just had a pick. I miss him in the Fins' secondary!
