Live blogging during the game now
So you should already know that Rod Wright is starting for Vonnie Holliday, Derrick Pope is going for Channing Crowder and Cameron Worrell is starting for Donovin Darius.
On the bright side for Miami, Zach Thomas returns to the starting lineup for the first time in two weeks.
For Houston, Andre Davis will start for Andre Johnson and Ron Dayne will start for Ahman Green, who is not active.
I will blog live during the game.
The comments will update in the comments section.

Come on, give us a W one time!!
Ok, here we go. Dolphins lose the coin toss.
Interesting the Texans expected to run like crazy today and they open with a long pass.
That was pass interference
... And then another pass. You know, sometimes football coaches outsmart themselves.
In this case, it's to Miami's advantage.
Completion to Walter. Good protection, but they have to run.
Welcome back Zach
With Zach back, one would expect the Dolphins will be stiffer against the run but the Texans should be testing it.
Holding on Owen Daniels wipes out 5 yard run.
TAylor is killing us!
Jason Taylor is a joke this year
Personal foul penalty on Jason Taylor for late hit on the QB. That's tough.
But of greater issue is the fact a QB can run to the boundry on Miami's defense. Very troubling when one looks at Miami's speed on defense.
Now you know why Cameron Worrell should be playing special teams and not on defense.
he bit up on the play action pass, peaked into the backfield and got burned. 49 yard gain.
Looks like it's gonna be the pass defense today that's the problem
uh, how bad is jason allen if he can't get on the field for a decimated secondary?
Good tackle by Pope and Traylor. The Dolphins want to get Dayne's shoulders going toward the sideline instead of upfield.
Sure, it's scheme w/our defense. Not that a guy named Worrell is in our secondary. Need playmakers all over this team. 2-3 drafts & off-seasons to fix this mess
Fourth down. Houston going for it.
Roth got run over on that TD run.
jason taylor is killing us, he needs to go. horrible penalty that led to 7. he can take his smoothie shop and get outta Miami!
gonna be a loooooong day
Anybody know if this is streaming on the internet?
So it begins.
I am really baffled how Jason Allen can't be put in at safety ahead of Cam Worrell
I'm baffled how Worrell is the answer ahead of Lamont Thompson.
I do not understand.
what do JT and JP have in common...both suck!!! Way to start the game fins.
Ginn should've taken that to the house. Looks like he tripped over his own feet.
Is Jason Taylor intentionally throwing the season? Some of these plays he's making or not making are an embarrassment...GET YOR HEAD OUT OF YOU A@#!!
Run Ronnie Run.
The Dolphins can't keep up behind Green.
Run.
Unless of course, Green is running instead of passing.
armando, it's because allen SUCKS...
Good misdirection, but that pitch is dangerous.
I have seen Mauia drop that pass in practice a million times.
gotta go for it. They need touchdowns, not field goals.
You gotta go for it, right?
Tried SOP Cast, wasn't on. ESPN's Gameday Live says Ginn had a 53 Yard return though
David martion stupid penalty, costing Miami a chance at a TD.That is a lack of concentration.
ugh
Cut Martin immediately and make Peele the starter
Terrible, every time they have a chance to change the momentum they make a stupid, stupid mistake.
David Martin is flat out awful.
Did Ginn have a nice return? I'm watching only GameChannel...shows he returned the kick 52 yds?
I think we are going to win this one.
Hopefull fan since 1975
Here we go guys, the series where Joey Porter gets his first sack ...
Odds?
Once again, a QB getting oustide on the Miami defense. Horrible. Where's the speed?
Andre Goodman picks off a batted pass. The ball went right off the hands of Putzier.
RONNIE BROWN WILL BE IN THE CLASS OF LT BY THE END OF THE SEASON. WHERE ARE ALL THE RETARDS THAT WANTED CHATMAN TO START? I FEEL SORRY FOR DARIUS, HE HAS NO HELP BACK THERE, EXCEPT GOODMAN! NICE!!!!!
JP getting a sack? 400-1??
Whoa, was that the Miami defense that forced a turnover?
WTF WAS THAT?
Green Dead
Ginn is an IDIOT@!!!!
OH MY GOD!!!!
It looks lie Green got a knee to the head, knocking him out.
Travis Johnson taunted him, I think because he was angry Green went low trying to block him.
Wow... only this team!
I wanted the Beck era to start, but not this way....
green is down!!!!
Dolphins gathering for a prayer on the field as Green is being put on a strecher.
I THINK GREEN IS DEAD OMG!
I hope Green is OK!
did anyone tell ginn he is running backwards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed, WTF was that last play? Well, I wanted Cleo in there, but not wanting to see Trent carried out on a stretcher. What a season!
Not to mention it is 2nd down and 50......
This looks like concussion as my knee to the head theory is correct according to replays.
Does anyone else think Jimmy Cefalo sucks at play-by-play? Bring back Bill Zimpfer!
THAT WAS BAD, VERY BAD I HOPE GREEN IS ALERT AND ALIVE! PRAY FOR HIM
Despite all the TG bashing, we have to realize he has been trying his best. Let's hope he is going to be fine.
omg, gotta feel for green... he's has a lot of heart and courage to try and come back, but this is a real physical game.
Everyone wanted Ginn on offense and Trent Green out. Well, here ya go.
someone needs to break travis johnsons leg. what a classless loser. He's next for the strecther!!
I hope it's only a concussion, my god.
On the radio they're speculating about a spinal injury.
Pray for Trent.
The ACLU might be able to take prayers out of school but at least they can't take prayers off the field.
Saw no movement from Green the entire time he was down. But TV reports he was talking.
zZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzZZZZZ Boy like we could'nt predict that. Culpepper would be a nice option right about now. You can thank the Ted Ginn Family for that rediculous play.
the Cleo Lemon era has begun. i cannot honestly expect Trent Green to be back in a Miami uniform anytime soon -- definitely not today.
did everyone see that coward for the texans who was barking and throwing gang sides at a lifeless trent green! i hope we kick their ass!
Smart play-calling by Cameron to protect Lemon and limit his liabilities. Screens, quick outs, pitch to Brown, hand to Brown. Smart.
As an ACLU member, it's nice to know the "other side" at least has class and is dignified enough not to use tragedy to score cheap points....
I hope Trent is OK. I really liked him - that analogy he gave of Belichik to Jack Nicholson in Rules of Engagement was hilarious.
"As an ACLU member, it's nice to know the "other side" at least has class and is dignified enough not to use tragedy to score cheap points...."
Yes, because the ACLU would never do that...yeah, right...
the moral to the story is to never give up draft picks for older qb's that are past their prime.
all we had to do was go into this season as lemon as the starter.
nobody brought up race aclu member, you just exposed your "true side" by thinking that, no one even mentioned race. you bigot! lets be civil here
Let's see if this defense has any heart whatsoever.
Hey ACLU, after Terry Schiavo do you really expect better? There's no vulgarity to which they'll stoop to impose their pious morality on us all.
I despise the ACLU. But I also prefer a football blog to focus on football.
You aclu dork and others supporting political agendas need to leave this blog as it is about football not about your moronic stances on things not football.
Indeed. Back to football. But, I'm confused, where has anyone even mentioned race in this blog?
Jt's scrambled eggs comment in the offseason has come to pass...all too predictable.
Let the Lemon era begin.

Armando
please get an update on TG please
im in europe and only have the shi.tty jets 7 giants game on TV
Cunning linguist, I don't appreciate your blasphemies and will not tolerate them on here. So talk football because everything else is getting erased.
was it a concussion similar to last year? I'm in KY and no chance of catching the game.
Notice Mando only calls one side a "dorkish"?
That's alright, I forgive you Mando.
Please give the definitive medical report on TG's health Mando as soon as you have one.
That IDIOT GINN even makes fair catching a punt look tough!
Green was being loaded into an Ambulance, apparently to be transported to a hospital. There will be a report on herald.com in the coming moments.
Hey, a stop on 3rd down.
The defense is dominating!!!
We all hope that Green will be OK. Nevertheless, Cam is going to be criticized now for signing him, given the health history.
armando, good call on keeping things back on topic and wiping out these armchair politicians and preachers.
HOLY SHIT......GINN CAUGHT A PASS!!!!!!!!!!!!
How about that, a deep pass by Ginn.
You guys should remember that Ginn was worried Green had no confidence in him.
That is apparently not the case with Cleo.
One of the things I've always liked about Mando, Cunning Linguist, is that he's a Jew-hater. So go post somewhere else you, blasphemous atheistic Israelite.
Wow. Was that a Ted Ginn sighting? And, Ronnie is a BEAST!
One has to appreciate the protection and the run-blocking by the OL right now. This is against a pretty good DL that has two first round picks.
Armando, Is Jose Cil correct?
I really admire how the Miami offense has seemingly PICKED UP the pace behind Lemon.
The possessions, three scores.
Feely is money. His kicks have been right down the middle all season thus far.
3 possesions, 3 scores. Nice.
Now these are the Dolphins I remember. Good job team - keep on the offense.
THE FERRARI OFFENSE HAS ARRIVED! GO CLEO "STEAMIN WILLIE BEAMEN" LEMON. RONNIE IS THE NEW LT. AND HAS ANYONE NOTICED THAT FEELEY HAS BEEN MONEY EVER SINCE THAT IMPLOSION IN SEATTLE WHEN HE MISSED 5 FEILD GOALS A COUPLE YRS AGO!
Minus that fumble... Ted Ginn has looked good. Big catch and a big return... its promising.
biggest mistake of the camueller era so far... trade draft pick away for a qb on the bigtime decline when you have a good young qb on the roster that you can develop.
seriously people lets just stay on the football topic and stop worrying about everyones personal agendas...go phins
Seriously... everyone Pray for Trent Green because i wouldnt doubt it if that was his last snap, but we have to be excited about what were seeing from our offense... i like cleo a lot, and what a difference Zach makes to this defense... wait until next week when we get our other linebacker back and safeties...
I love people of all races, colors. and I honeymooned in Israel so what does that say about what this guys is saying?
anything on green yet?
Armando, hard to believe that this spells the end of Trent Green's career.
We hope the guy's OK, but what a shame.
The Miami offense, the past three weeks, has had no answer in moments it needed to step up -- like when Miami just scored and had to hold the other offense.
We'll see now.
Cleo is playing for a new contract and a chance to start next season.
Now the critical question is how the defense is going to play.
I know Capers simplified the packages? Does it look like he's running more blitzes I can't tell.
i feel bad for green cam should have never traded for him cleo it's not a rookie he must have not started lots of games but has been around for a while now and now cam's offense
defense looks good i just hope we don't fold in the fourth quarter like always
Dolphins in a 4-3 look now with JT down on the ground.
I am all for freedom of speech, but people using a football blog to make personal attacks and racial/religious slurs have to be some seriously bored and miserable people.
all day to throw back there
Matt Schaub is a really nice QB. Big, good arm. I'm impressed.
No pressure at all.
cam should have gave ronnie the ball completely since game one we wouldn't have this record
Biggest play of the year by JAson Taylor!!!!
Reality check: John Beck is now one play away from playing. Cam cannot like that.
Football!!! Go somewhere else if u have something stupid to say. RB is awesome.
defense did it again nice
Hey Jason, stay a while and keep making plays like that. Finally!
Think Atlanta regrets trading Schaub, considering the Vick case and having to go with Joey Blue Eyes?
How will Cam explain TG going 0-4 and Cleo going 1-1?
Morlon Greenwood has made more plays today than his whole tenure w/ Miami.
ESPNs gamecast froze up. WHat happened?
Just run the damn ball!!!!!!
I missed the turnover...what happened? I was watching Madison get an INT in the Jets/Giants game
wow looks like we got all cylnders firing finally. this is wjhat the defense needed to make a few good plays to help morale!!!! GG JT!!!
ronnie brown looks more and more like LT everyweek
Nice pancake on that screen by Satele. The OL is a pretty athletic bunch.
fins look great today.
IF they play Houston every week for the rest of the season, I predict a playoff berth.
hey, what happened to theJT trash talking????? most forced fumbles of any current player, yeah that's just terrible. He is still a great player with a lot of heart. MR
we gotta start scoring TD's in the redzone only 1 out of 4 tries no good
Amando, without tv here abroad. Does Cleo look more like a legitmate starter or a cautious substitute trying not to screw up? Never even seen him throw, strong arm?
Lemon does not have what I would call a strong arm. It's a good arm. he is being very smart right now.
How did the NFL go from "we can win with any QB (Trent Difler) if we have a solid defense" to this day and age "the QB is single most important piece to having success?"
Why can't Miami's braintrust catch onto this?
Huge play against Cam Worrell again, but holding penalty against Chester Pitts.
Would Tony Dungy or Bill Belichick acquire a 37 yr. old QB coming off a concussion plagued season, and hand him a starting position in the NFL? Trent Green's injury was inevitable. Cam Cameron is a JOKE! FIRECAM.com
Another pass across the middle to Andre Davis for 16 yards. You gotta understand this Houston team doesn't have its best player Andre Johnson on the field. They are finding the middle of the Miami secondary with alarming frequency.
Once again we are reminded that Worrell was signed for his special teams prowess. BIG liability back there...
Newspaper is saying TG is moving his arms and legs and its a concussion....armando, u heard anything? MR
For those of us who can't watch this game, can anyone describe the Taylor play?
Dungy and Belichick don't have to, the have great QB's. And don't forget that Dungy got fired in Tampa because he couldn't put an offense together and Belichick lucked out on Brady.
hey guys,
check out tvu 63386 sports!
enjoy!
big al
again those td's we missed on are gonna come back to hunt us we should have put houston away long time ago
If Jason Allen can't get in when we are down to our 4th safety, he is officially a bust.
No need to wait another year to declare that fact.
ps.
my prayers go out to tg.
the texans are getting rid of the ball quick, three step drops and the ball is out so jt can't reek havok! they have no answer to him right now
Jason Taylor has arrived to the 2007 season. This play not only counts as a sack, it puts Houston out of field goal range.
Yeah Joel, you said it. I think we can now officially hang that BUST tag on him.
worrell keeps getting burnt!!dont we have anyone else to put in there
Incomplete pass despite TE being wide open across the middle. This is a loooog 54 FG.
JT is a man posessed today
For all the morons who keep rattling on Jason Taylor, who idiotically would suggest that because he hasn't seemingly been productive that he might be throwing the game (and I notice they always do this anonymously - big lugs!), maybe these last TWO BIG HITS will give them pause to think. But the fact is that JT hadn't much production this time last year. The difference? He's double-teamed on every other play by most teams scared to death that he will do what he just did. Great job, J.T. Stay in Miami and retire with Dan and we can name another stadium street after you.
OMG, he made it. 16-10, Miami.
Fire Cam... are you kidding me? It's the fricken 5th game of his first season. Dude, look at what Cam's done with Ronnie... consistently now, look at the OL... it's actually playing decent... there's definitely a lot of holes left to fill, but it's getting there...
I've never been a fan of Green or Martin, but still... you can't expect the Phins to go 17-0 with what Cam came into... if we're still shitty after 3 or 4 years then let him go. He's doing everything that past coaches were too afraid to do and then you want to fire him... be a true Phins fan or go home
shoot- oh well, still a good first half, but would be nice to have a TD for one of those 3 field goals
This is the first offensive line we have faced that is average or below average. It makes a big difference.r
Armando, when you going to be a journalist and push for cam to be fired.
i mean its all adding up to that..
now, just as we all predicted, trent is soupy and concussed and out. we went through all those months of agony for this? we lost daunte for this?
Ginn is so much more effective when he goes north and south. Why doesn't he get that yet.

It is interesting that Lemon is actually looking for Ginn where Green rarely did.
The one thing the Fins need more than anything else right now is consistency in the coaching staff and front office. We can't have players needing to learn new schemes on O and D every other year and replacing players all the time becuase they don't fit those new schemes.
Not every decision Cam's made has been a winner and not every one has been a loser either.
Anonymous hat gesagt...
Fire Cam... are you kidding me?
i agree let him have 2 seasons and then we will see. thisa organization was a total mess before the preseason thatnks to SATAN and the others before him. all yoou guys need to chill and give the man a chance
Cleo just had to tell cam how mnay timeouts we have. Pathetic.
Crap throw too
Come on, fire Cam 5 games in? give me a break. Going to take a while to overcome 3-4 years of terrible drafting by Wanny and Saban.
Dophins will win today, because they don't have to continue to be labor with the NFL's worst QB. Green's inept, pathetic attemppt to lead an NFL team lead to a 0-4 start. Now Fin Fans will see the true potential of our team. It's sad it took a concussion to force Cam into playing Lemon.
Saban was a heckuva a lot better coach than Cam, pleez..
Check your anger and see reality -- Cam is a joke, and Saban was a great coach who this year would have had us 4-0 I am positive.
Since when is it Armando's job to push for the coach to be fired?? That's just stupid. Green was insurance. Dante may not even start the next game for the Raiders.
GET GINN IN SPACE! MOST IMPORTANTLY THOUGH IS THE TEXANS ARE GONNA COME AFTER CLEO IN THE SECOND HAVE, SCREEN,SCREEN,SCREEN RONNIE AND PROTECT CLEO, JASON TAYLOR CANNOT BE BLOCKED RIGHT NOW, TIME TO UNLEASH PORTER ON THE OTHER SIDE TO THROW THEM A CURVE BALL
Like I said earlier, you guys keep forgetting what Cam came into. He's finally doing what Dolphins coaches were too afraid to do for the last decade. I just wrote an artice on the Phins and in doing a little extra research I found that since 2003 the Phins have only had 19 draft picks. If a team doesn't trade away any picks from 2003-2007, you'd have 35 picks... the Phins under other coaches have traded away 16 picks... and Cam's finally dumping the old and getting the young
jj hat gesagt...
Saban was a heckuva a lot better coach than Cam, pleez
i think you are smoking too much crack
he is back where he should be in college ball cause he could not hack it in the NFL!!!
So Armando what do you expect us to do coming out of the half? same team were seeing in the first?
Thank u Lawrence, I'm anon because I'm watching the game typing my comments on my Iphone... But Jt is the man, he routinely does something spectacular while being double teamed and he is a positive force fir the rest if the team, he really has heart. Most forced fumbles of any current player in the NFL. Sweet!
wow it amazes me how moronic fans commenting on this blog can be.
FIre CAM? Ever notice that since CAM left SD that LT isn't doing that well. Yes part of that is Norvs fault.
But also notice that Ronnie did nada in the past few years and then he gets comfortable in CAM's system and looks like a pro-bowler?
At least the offense is intersting at times. That's more than I can say for the past few seasons.
Cleo is the man...
Cam is a fool, phins boy..
Saban was restoring draft picks in his short tenure -- take a history lesson.
Thanks for the TVU post. I'll be able to watch the 2nd half
Mando is right too on CLeo. His arm is not the strongest in the world. He is not the permanent answer either. It is a testament to how good the o-line and RB are playing that we look this good. Nice signs of growth on the offense.
yeah saban also drafted jason allen in the first round.....
armando, you have to rake cam over the coals about his atrocious clock management. I don't care if we win or lose.... this man needs to be held accountable for his complete lack of awareness.
now you want give cam credit for ronnie? what you smokin'? it aint any good...
cam wanted to put jesse chatman ahead of ronnie, or have you lost those brain cells already
and who drafted ronnie? saban
Guys: I don't think it's time to think about firing Cam Cameron or anything of that nature. That is reactionary stuff that has no place in conversation after four games. After the season, I would think, everyone will be evaluated ... including Cam Cameron.
As to the 2nd half: I would hlope with the Miami defense playing well and the backup QB in the game, I would hope Miami uses Ronnie Brown (a lot) because that is the best way to protect a lead and run time off the clock.
Anyone disagree?
Marc hat gesagt...
Thanks for the TVU post. I'll be able to watch the 2nd half
where can i find a llink to see the game!!!!!! pleasetell me
I must say, Armando, both the Dolphins and YOU had a good first half, much better commentary on your part, keep the profane language out and don't sully yourself by responding to bloggers with handles that refer to acts on a female sexual organ. Rise above my friend, don't dirty yourself in the sewer. Talk football!
-- Reed Gordon, Coral Gables
Cleo Lemon will have to make something happen.
The word on Trent Green is that he has a concussion. He has not left the building yet but probably will be taken to the hospital.
Cam gets credit for the prgogress this team has made. You wanted to crucify him when they fail, why doesn't he deserve some credit when they succeed. And when did Cam say he wanted Chatman ahead of Brown?? He said he had higher expectations of Brown but it looks like he did a good job of motivating the guy to me.
i say cleo should air it out in the second half, i got faith in the lemon..
and let trent go out to pasture already!
as for cam, if he loses two more games, why wait till the season end, just send him back to his family and put us all out of our misery..
it aint too early to fire his ass
I know it's only Week 5, but how big can a victory today play in the mentality of the Dolphins, particularly the young guys?
I've only seen Ginn's 5th gear once and that was the kickoff return in the first half for over 50 yards.
Get there Ginn
i lost faith in the lemon..
time for beck
so much for playing smart. What happened to giving the ball to Ronnie Brown? What happened to understanding the circumstances and momentum of the game?
Cameron needs to be better than that. Having said all that, I dismiss talk of firing right now.
Why isn't it Ronnie left, Ronnie right, Ronnie on a screen?
