Live blog today during the VICTORY today
Sitting in the press box overlooking a pristine field this morning, I am watching Dolphins president Bryan Wiedmeier having a friendly chat with Jets special teams coach Mike Westhoff.
As you know Westhoff coached the Dolphins special teams for over a decade before being fired by Dave Wannstedt. Although I doubt this is happening, it might be nice if Wiedmeier asked Westhoff what his contract situation is next year and whether he'd be interested in returning to South Florida to improve a special teams unit that -- outside of Ted Ginn Jr. -- has been awful this season.
Anyway, as you know this is a BIG game today. It doesn't matter that both teams have bad records and are going absolutely nowhere in the postseason. It matters that one of these bad teams has an opportunity to win.
The spoils to the winner are obvious: A satisfying week enjoying a victory.
The loser? Well a highly placed Dolphins employee summed it up thusly: "If we lose, the entire country will be talking about us going winless and being the worst team of all time. If they lose, people will start talking about [Eric] Mangini's job security."
Such are the stakes today.
The inactives today for the Dolphins DO NOT include Lorenzo Booker. Maybe this is the game he gets a few series to show what he's got. Inactive today are Kerry Reed, Jereme Perry, Tuff Harris, Zach Thomas, Anthony Bryant, Anthony Alabi, Derrick Robinson and Rob Ninkovich.
Meet me in the comment section for the live blogging session. And yes, I did pick the Dolphins to win today in The Herald.

Come on, give us a W one time!!
Anyone know if this is on TVU or SOP Cast
Nice that it is a pristine field. This is, unfortunately, our superbowl. Goes without saying that we need this win badly. I hope Cam stops being so conservative and starts throwing a little on first down. Let's see what Beck can do. Sad thing is, probably going to be more Jets fans in the stadium that Dolphin fans. GO PHINS
its on SP
Would be nice to start with a TD return by ginn haha!!
How do you get SOP Cast?
todays keys...
Unleash beckkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Run booker! LOL
1st one 4 real :P
Go to their webpage and download it xD
Stadium i sooooooooo empty!
Cotchery is out, coles is so so...
by the way, the Jets are wearing the funky New York Titans throwback uni today.
What channel, can't seem to find it
hi there, here's an italian dolfan based in rome.....can you please please win this one and set us free from the 0-16 nightmare?
Beck to Ginn, Beck to Ginn....that's all we need!
what channel is the SOP cast?
Armando,
How is Chatman's injury?
guysssssssssssssss
NFL - Week 13 | To use VLC, download VLC at http://www.videolan.org and install it , then start the Sopcast stream and let it buffer. Then open VLC, go to Open Network Stream, select HTTP option, and type in 127.0.0.1:8902 (if not working, try port 8912). You MUST leave Sopcast running
Mando, How much is Chatman expected to play?
A moment of silence in memory of Sean Taylor. Nice touch.
Chatman starting and going to play a lot.
itssssssssssss gameeeeeeeeee timeeeeeeeeeeee
Chatman starting and going to play a lot.
sopcast 36660
jets start 16 yard line!
2 plasys 1st down already
clemens gets scared at a shotgun! goes down by taylor
Thanks Andy, for NBA China, and the ctdolphan for a non-existant channel
Sorry guys, having some technical difficulties early on. Hope they are resolved.
Coles pushed off on Allen on that one, I thought.
nice pressure...clemens sucksss
Coles ALWAYS kills us.
that sopcast channel was good, just went offline...no need to be an a-hole marc
ok.....big play...by clemens...coles...35yds...
Marc you can see the game?
From Gamcast, it appears they aren't havin' much trouble movin' the ball on us
Dolphins moving Jason Taylor around. He came up the middle this time.
that is interference vs. Miami
I cannot believe this. Jets slice and dice Miami defense on the first series. And the boo birds are out. Of course, half the stadium is cheering because they are jets fans.
Nope, Andy, can't see the game
0-7 jets washington...
pathetic....simply pathetic
http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=3006&part=sports
Scoring drive: 12 plays, 84-yard drive taking over six minutes for the Jets
Looks like they really came out to play for victory number one.
Leon Washington is Miami's kryptonite...sheesh...knock that guy OUT!!!
Same goes for Coles....these guys really know how to slay us.....
Understand that the Dolphins defense is nearly at full strength. Zach is out, but Matt Roth and Vonnie Holliday both started.
I was actually about to come on and mention how embarrasing and frustrating it is to hear chearing when the jets score.
Ginn with a 26 yard return to give Miami the ball at the 37 yard line.
I also love how the commentators mention that the jets are only 5 for their last 20 on 3rd down conversions just as we allow them to convert for three in a row
If Cam can't win this one, I think the fire chants will start loud and steady.
First down pass for Beck. Hooray!!
Holy Don Shula! This is maybe the worst offense in the NFL and they moved down the field converting 3 3rd downs. That aint how it was supposed to start...
this team has come out flat and lacks fire even wanny had that cam cameron is the worse dolphins coach in our history wayne fire these two bums cameron and mueller and bring in bill parcells as the gm!bryan in ohio!!!!!!!!!!!
Chatman moving around just fine. He rushes 7 yards for a first.
Lorenzo Booker coming in the game now. OOps, he's coming right back out.
lets see a long pass to ginn!!
Satele just got blowed up.
Does anyone else realize how bad the dolphins are against tight twin formations? Or is that just me
runrunrunrunrun
GOT IT! Thanks Andy
Hey Armando- Has Jesse barfed yet? (since that seems to be key to his success)
Fourth down. Dolphins going for it at the Jets 41 yard line.
I have no prob with the decision.
QB sneak. First down. At least they didn't bring Marty Booker across to take the snap and fumble it.
Beck reads long, throws short.
BEck needs to learn how to sell the play action!!!!!!
CBS graphic reminds everyone the Dolphins have not scored a TD in 9 quarters.
Kerry Rhodes is a stud. He tackles Chatman for 4 yard loss. fourth down.
A draw on 3rd and 2.. Great call coach
53 FG? Longshot.
It's good. Dolphins salvage something and trail 7-3.
Feely has proven to be the best personnel move in the last 12 months for the phins
Chatman has not barfed, but sources say he took a wiz before the game.
I'd like to see the Phins open up the offense a little more and see how Beck does. I know it's good to establish a running game but I hope Cameron is not too conservative today
Armando, some of your comments are like 19 year old locker room chat. Grow up.
cam is a joke. Jets bringing the house and cam sticks with a run to gimpy chatman. Where is the freakin hot route?
I'd also like to see the D get a 3rd stop!
what the hell is a wiz... a piss? thanks for the great info mando!
Did anyone hear about the choice 4 the superbowl half time show....PLEASE can we get some acts from at least the 90's
Jets dominating Dolphins defense up front. Matt Roth sucks up front. He can't hold the point of attack.
anyone manage to find the game on sopcast?
C'mon Cam its week 12 against the Jets.... Time to finally take the training wheels off this offense!
JT with a great play plus a sack already today
Corner blitz. Goodman gets to Clemens.
If Feely was the best move, Welker to the Patriots was the worst!
Mando could you ask when hes gonna update the forum?
Oh my gosh, dead ball penalty. Play never happened.
And sack AGAIN, this time by Taylor who beat Ferguson for teh sack.
make that 2 sacks
Horrible punt for Jets. Miami ball at the 41 yard line.
JT FINALLY lookin' like JT!
Were actually winning the field position battle! WOOHOO!
If Welker is here, we are still winless and our oline isn't as good.
Good trade
Come back with a deep pass after a couple of big plays
I believe that just put JT in sole possesion of 13th all-time sack leader, no?
First down pass again. Very good.
every sack JT gives us a better draft pick!!
Cam obviously loosening the leash on Beck.
Armando,
I've noticed that you and other writers at the Herald give grudging praise to Ronnie Brown at best. LeBatard's comment today - Cam getting more out of him than his ability being latest. Is it because Brown was drafted by Saban? He has been solid to dominant so far. What's up?
Samkon Gado coming in the game for the first time as a Dolphins player.
Welker wouldn't have had 1/3rd the production on the Phins as he has had on the Pats. I think a 2nd round pick was good.
The only reason i would want to see JT be gone is so he can win a championship... I believe he earned it and deserves it. AS LONG AS ITS NOT WITH THE PATRIOTS! i dont think i could still like him if he was with the patriots
Come on guys give us some more play by play. I am at work and resining in Indiana. What' sgoing on???
Woz, I was down on Brown his first two years because he ran choppy and rarely initiated the hit but tried to dance instead.
He resolved that after the second game this year. I thought he was EXCELLENT at that point. I cannot account for anyone else's comments.
I think he deserves the CHOICE! I also think I'd rather see him retire as a fin!
Chatman needs to stop spinning so much and just run forward!
Jason Taylor with another tackle. He is playing great so far.
comparing beck to brees?????? beck cannot throw a pass more than 10 yards!!!!!
Armado - fair enough. Agreed he ran with an attack attitude this year. Hopefully he pick ups with it next year
The immaculate interception by Joey Porter.
JOEY PORTER LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!
Without debating Welker's relative merits to the Phins or his connection to our o-line improving, I'll say this: why, why, why wouls you trade him within the division??? to the Patriots no less???
I wouldn't trade him, but if I absolutely had to, I'd trade him to the Seahawks or something.
What are you talking about beck has A LOT stronger arm than brees.. Thats always kind of been brees's knock
Wow! A Joey Porter sighting.
How bout that! Porter with the INT for the second straight week...Him and JT lookin' like their old selves!
Yes! Uh oh. nfl.com says that JT hurt on the play?
Did JT get hurt, thats what it says on gamecast
Welker is gone.....get over it already.
Personally, after a turnover deep in Jets territory, why doesn't Cameron hit them with a pass to the end zone on first down?
Too conservative!!
three runs in a row??? come on....lets take SOME risks here
You're inside the other teams 35 and you don't test their end zone even once? Come on.
This is frustrating.. Chatman is looking very very hesitant. I just want to shout to him RUN!!
Amen Armando. I love to see throw to the end zone after turnover
Feeley hits the 44 FG. Dolphins trail 7-6.
what is the address for sop cast? everyone that i've tried says this channel is offline. this is my first time trying it and i'm kinda confused. can anyone help me?
Cause Cam's a douche Mandy, DUH!
You traded Welker to get 2 draft picks. I'd make that trade again. Welker wouldn't have saved this team, and we needed picks based upon all those that were traded away by Saban and Wanny.
BTW - need to run something different aside from off tackle right on 3rd and 2. That's 3x, all resulting in losses. Jets clearly know that Cam is afraid to let Beck throw.
if beck has such a great arm...what year will we see it??????
Wow, this play calling is pathetic...Is Cam trying to lose this game? I have always defended him but all of this running is driving me crazy. Let Beck throw the ball; I think he has the hand-off down.
Wow...I do have faith in Cams O ability, but wasnt that incredibly conservative??? (3 runs with a start in Jets territory)
JT is fine. he got hit in the .... um, groin.
Just follow Andy's instructions with VLC player. I couldn't get it to work with SOPCast alone
what happened to cameron being an offensive genious? I could call these plays.
4 pass attempts in almost 20 minutes.....let him throw the ball Cam you offensive genious
Cameron is pissing me off!!!!
Why is John Beck in there? He might as well put a third RB in there to be another running threat! A run/pass ratio of 5/1 is just pathetic. How do you score touchdowns if you are afraid to throw the ball?
I thought we brought in an offensive coach, not an OFFENSIVE coach? This playcalling sucks!!!
Gee, the Jets aren't afraid to throw downfield, are they?
Gus Johnson called it getting "hit in the soft spot".
Jets throwing downfield.. maybe Cam can learn from that.
Long pass to Justin McCareins fights off Will Allen. 51 yard gain.
That's what happens when you play "not to lose."
I've noticed Jason Allen making a lot of special teams tackles lately as well....
You can't be that conservative on offense when you are 0-11 and your defense is that inconsistent.
Can anyone remember the last time the Dolphins completed a 50 yard pass? Or even attempted a 50 yard pass?
Somebody hit Cam with something, doesn't he know how to call pass plays? You have a Quarterback------Let him throw.The team wants to win, the coach does't. Get rid of the bum, he is a moron.
Worrell looks hurt....let pull someone out of the stands to play safety, I'm sure we'd be better off.
Cameron Worrell is hurt. Lance Schulters is coming into the game.
i thought you alway went long after you get a turnover whats up with silly cam
beck...18 yards passing....now that is what i call an arm!!!!!
what the hell is cameron doing, does he want to win a game, interception in great field position then 3 straight runs, let Beck throw the ball for christ sakes!!
Worrell down, YES!
fire capers, cam, randy, impeach wayne....did i forget anyone????
Exactly what I am saying Armando!!
Why do we have a QB, we have a couple of WR's that can throw 10 passes in a game (averaging 7 yrds a throw)
Oh I get it. Cam is staisfied enough to watch the Jets throw deep
Smith out of the shotgun runs wide for three yards.
FG time on fourth down.
well at least the def kept it to 3
Worrell is one of the players playing with fire for us today. Why the hell would you want him hurt?
FG is good. By the way, I am very UNimpressed with Clemens. I know it's hard to believe about a QB that just threw a 51 yard pass, but that pass was underthrown. And that third down pass was awful.
i love how beck has 3 completions and 2 of them are to chatman. man, cam sure is spreading it around today.
Cameron Worrell has a knee injury. His return is questionable.
figured out beck's problem....it is against his mormon upbringing to throw the ball downfield on sunday's!!!!
10 to 1 he runs on first and second down
Smells like the past 11 weeks... Let's keep it close to the end until we can figure out a way to lose.
can someone find out the longest pass comp that beck has made?
i'm now becoming convinced that Cam has been hired to make sure the Dolphins get the No 1 pick, its the only thing that explains is playcalling all season either that or he's just plain incompetent
i cant figure it out, fuck it. losing the game is already gonna piss me off i don't need this frustration
Armando, do you think it is something in the water that makes Dolphin head coaches go brain-dead on offense?
Shula was here so long ago that maybe he was immune to its effects but none of the other head coaches seem to know what a pass is!
Because Schulters is a MUCH better safety, that's why!
Why does every team in the NFL, except for the Dolphins, know the advantage of attempting a few passes down the field?

False start on LJ Shelton. Drive killer.
pretty sure religion has nothing with anything. Cam is head coach/OC. He is calling the plays. Blame him not Beck's religion.
1st and 15,
Cam will run to get back to 2 and 8!
hey guys,
the game live on sopcast! you need to use VLC media player.
mapretty sure religion has nothing with anything. Cam is head coach/OC. He is calling the plays. Blame him not Beck's religion.
Beck complete to Miami's best TE -- Justin Peelle.
no blame the religion
Beck out of the shotgun, ball underthrown and almost intercepted. First time Beck threw to Ginn.
A BOOKER SIGHTING!!!
booker...YES!!!
How about that, completion to Booker out of the backfield. First down on a 22 yard gain.
Im so proud of booker i think im going to cry
They pass pinned back deep and run when they are in the red zone...whatdafuh????
well done 11 yards - so more than 10 are actualy possible. I'm looking forward for 15 and more :-)
Honestly, why do they have to wait until the 12th game of the season to run a play like we just saw to Booker?
THe strategy may be sound the jets run defense is ranked 31st. Perhaps Chatman shouldnt be starting.
great play finnaly got broker involed in playing
Two passes in a row!!!!
And CONGRATULATIONS Booker has been heard from!
Welcome to the NFL Lorenzo!!
Sorry - 22 is way better - what about 30.
Cam is an IDIOT! If L Booker is capable of that, WHY did he wait till now! The same reason he awited on Ginn, Beck, Jason Allen, etc! I HATE that a$$ clown!
Ball tipped and intercepted by Revis the rookie. That's John Beck's first career interception.
now they stop running and are only passing??? wtf is this mix it up
Was that supposed to be a screen pass?
nice passing beck!!!
1st INT of his nfl life guess it had to happen sometime
You could see that corner blitz coming a mile away. Allen hits Clemens and Lehan runs the tipped ball for a TD
i keep getting the same advice but it's not working. everytime i put in 127.0.0.1:8902 in http it says error unable to open. anyone know why?
"Lance Schulters, in for Cameron Worrell, comes up and makes the tackle" Nuff said!
Woops, flag. Peronsal foul on the kickoff.
HELL YEAH! HELL YEAH! HELL YEAH! HELL YEAH! Good job porter! We need some fire
GOOD JOB D! What was that personal foul penalty???
Vernon Carey just gave the throat slash sign. Another penalty on the Dolphins on the kickoff.
They're going to kick off from Key Biscayne.
How do you open the SOP stream?
Hey Mandy, you said you were a fan of "good football". Does this count?
YES! Dolphinse defense Takes lead!!! c'mon offense
Armando, do you give any positive updates on what is happening?
