Also, the team placed CB Andre' Goodman on Injured Reserve with a knee injury that he suffered against the Patriots.

To take his spot on the roster, the Dolphins signed G Ikechuku Ndukwe (6'4", 338 lbs.) off the Ravens' practice squad. Ndukwe is 25 years old. He was an undrafted rookie free agent in 2005, when he went to camp with the Saints. Ndukwe went to Northwestern. In 2006, he played in 5 games for the Ravens in a reserve role.

Patriots-Dolphins: Week 16 Matchup

Here's a rundown of Miami's week sixteen matchup against the New England Patriots:

Where: Gillette Stadium
When: Sunday, 4:15 PM ET

Injuries:

• Patriots: Questionable - TE Kyle Brady, G Steve Neal, TE Benjamin Watson, G Billy Yates; Probable - QB Tom Brady, S Rodney Harrison
• Dolphins: Out - LB Channing Crowder; Questionable - RB Jesse Chatman, DT Vonnie Holliday, LB Joey Porter, DE Matt Roth, T L.J. Shelton, DE Jason Taylor, NT Keith Traylor

Positional Breakdown:

Patriots	Unit	Dolphins
+	Quarterbacks
+	Running backs
+	Receivers
+	Offensive line
+	Defensive line
+	Linebackers
+	Secondary
+	Special teams
+	Coaches
+	Overall Advantage

Keys to the Game:

1. Mount an effective short passing game in the face of expected heavy winds. The wind will likely be gusting at game time, so deep passes are probably out of the picture. Cleo Lemon will need to rely on intermediate and short passes that are high percentage in nature. Lorenzo Booker should see plenty of use here.
2. Don't play scared. I'm sick of seeing teams roll over in front of this Patriots team. There's no chance of beating them unless opposing teams bring everything they have and don't give up just because they fall behind by one score. The defense needs to pressure Brady and bang him around the defensive front seven needs to play stout and stop the run. Most importantly, the defense needs to get to Brady in a hurry. If they stay back and try to cover everyone without any sort of pass rush, Brady will simply hang back in the pocket and pick apart the secondary - he's too good for that. Dom Capers needs to call blitzes all day long.
3. Don't give up on the run too quickly. This Pats defense can be run on. It is essential to maintain long drives and keep Tom Brady off the field. If Lemon is forced to throw and Miami winds up with multiple three-and-out possessions, then the Pats will blow the game open in a hurry.

Key Players:

• Patriots: WR Randy Moss - Moss absolutely roasted and toasted Miami the last time they met. This team, the Dolphins secondary has a new look, but it will be hard pressed to come up with better results. Moss is the key to the big play, and stopping him is a top priority.
• Dolphins: Offensive line - Cleo Lemon is going to have to make several plays in the passing game in order to give Miami a chance. To do so, he needs to have time to go through his progressions. The offensive line play has been slipping a bit over the last month, and they must correct their issues. They will have an opportunity to open some holes in the running game and must take advantage.

Prediction:
It would be a true Christmas miracle for the Dolphins to win this game and achieve the greatest upset in NFL history (in my opinion). If Santa could bring me just one thing this year, it would be a win this Sunday.

Of course, I can't realistically make the Dolphins my pick, so I'm going with the Patriots, 33-11.

Crowder to IR, Bramlet activated

LB Channing Crowder had arthroscopic knee surgery this Tuesday and has been placed on Injured Reserve, ending his season. This could potentially be problematic in the future, as Crowder had several knee surgeries in college, and was an injury risk coming out of the draft. Hopefully, this injury does not linger into training camp, as Crowder looks to be an important part of this team's future defense.

To take Crowder's spot on the roster, the team signed QB Casey Bramlet from the practice squad.

Tuna Fish

After rejecting an offer to join the Atlanta Falcons as their head of Football Operations, Bill Parcells will sign a four-year deal with the Dolphins to become the team's Vice President of Football Operations. Contingent on this deal is the fact that Wayne Huizenga will refrain from selling the team.

Parcells is expected to sign a contract within 48 hours.

Parcells is a guy who demands full say over the team's personnel decisions, so the jobs of Cam Cameron and Randy Mueller are now very much in jeopardy.

My initial reactions to this news are mixed. There's some things that concern me about the move, but there are a lot of positives to be had as well. I'll be back with more on this situation as it develops.

Infamy Avoided

I have a feeling that most Miami Dolphins fans felt a little bit like Johnny Drama this past Sunday...VICTORY!!!

While this day will most likely be forgotten quickly by anyone who doesn't root for the Fins, December 16, 2007 will forever be remembered in the minds of the aqua-and-orange faithful as the day that infamy was avoided.

Most people think that there isn't much of a difference between going winless and going 1-15. I'd ask those same people whether they think there's much of a difference between going 16-0 and 15-1.

The distinction of making history means everything.

Long after the individual players leave the gridiron, the achievements they were a part of remain to tell their story. Proud players do not want the spectre of such a negative debacle to taint their legacy forever. Poor individual performances can be erased the next week on the field. There's no erasing the ink on the pages of history.

With a mere three opportunities remaining for the 2007 Dolphins to secure a win, I had severe doubts in their ability to avoid infamy.

Hell, I'm still shocked that they did win. How in the world did Baltimore lose that game? I don't know and I don't really care, but I'm hoping an EMT was on hand in Miami to perform the Heimlich on the Ravens.

With the Miami defense utterly collapsing in on itself with less than two minutes to go in the game, Baltimore moved with ease to within 18 inches of the goal line. One half of a yard stood between the Ravens and a victory over a winless team. Sure, the chip-shot field goal would tie the game and send it to overtime, but when you have Willis McGahee running behind one of the better offensive lines in the league against the absolute worst run defense in the league and you only need 18 inches...

They went with the field goal. Infamy avoided.

Then after winning the coin toss in OT, the Ravens predictably ran the ball right down the throats of the Miami defense, getting to within FG distance. Mind you, Matt Stover was a perfect 5 for 5 on overtime field goals in his career coming into this game. He's one of the most accurate kickers in league history, and then...

He pushed it. Wide left. Infamy avoided.

It took Cleo Lemon throwing the first TD pass by a Miami QB since October to win this game, and he threw it to a guy (Greg Camarillo) who had one career reception going into the game.

Like I said, I don't know how exactly all that happened, but Dolphins fans everywhere should rejoice.

And screw those people like Deion Sanders who have criticized the Dolphins players for how jubiliantly they celebrated over one single victory.

This win meant more to those guys than any of New England's 14 wins this season have meant to the Patriots players.

Few fans know what it is like to go through what Miami fans went through this season. We faithful went more than an entire calendar year without seeing our team win a single regular season game.

Think about that.

Living in New England, I see first hand that constant winning dulls the enjoyment received from each victory. At this point, they are just going through the motions. For a team like that, the ultimate measure isn't a regular season game; it is the Super Bowl.

Well, there are teams for whom that isn't the case - Miami being the poster child. For this team, jubilation can rightly be attained from a single victory.

I'm not asking for you to root along with the Dolphins, but I am asking for you to not begrudge us faithful fans this opportunity to revel in victory. This was our Super Bowl.

And it felt damn good to finally win.

REJOICE!!!

DOLPHINS WIN!
INFAMY AVOIDED

Dolphins-Ravens: Week 15 Matchup

Here's a rundown of Miami's week fifteen matchup against the Baltimore Ravens:

Where: Dolphin Stadium
When: Sunday, 1:00 PM ET

Injuries:

• Miami: Out - LB Channing Crowder; Questionable - RB Jesse Chatman, RB Patrick Cobbs, DE Matt Roth; Probable - WR Marty Booker, T Vernon Carey, DT Vonnie Holliday, CB Michael Lehan, LB Joey Porter
• Baltimore: Out - WR Demetrius Williams; Doubtful - CB Samari Rolle, S Gerome Sapp; Questionable - DT Justin Bannan, TE Todd Heap, LB Ray Lewis, DT Haloti Ngata, LB Terrell Suggs, TE Daniel Wilcox; Probable - C Mike Flynn, DT Kelly Gregg, RB Willis McGahee, T Jonathan Ogden, S Ed Reed, T Adam Terry

Positional Breakdown:

Dolphins	Unit	Ravens
	Quarterbacks	+
	Running backs	+
	Receivers	+
	Offensive line	+
	Defensive line	+
	Linebackers	+
+	Secondary
	Special teams	+
	Coaches	+
	Overall Advantage	+

Keys to the Game:

1. Stop the bleeding in run defense. It's pretty obvious that Baltimore should run all over Miami. The Ravens have a great RB in McGahee paired with a below average QB and they are facing the league's worst run defense. If they come out passing, they are idiots. To this end, Miami's run defense won't be good - that's a given, but they do need to be good enough to give the team a chance. Keep the Ravens from busting out huge runs. As long as the score can be kept close, the Phins will have a chance.
2. Use the short-passing game in place of a consistent ground attack. The Ravens run defense is superb, and I doubt a banged up Chatman or healthy Samkon Gado will be able to run effectively against it. Instead, give Lorenzo Booker his most extensive playing time yet, and work the middle of the field with short safe passes to the backs and tight ends. This should substitute for a running game, while lulling the Ravens secondary to sleep before hammering them deep with Ted Ginn. The Ravens top CBs are hurt, so the opportunities will be there. Cleo Lemon needs to connect when he goes deep, though, which is no certain proposition.
3. Pressure the QB, whoever it is. Whichever QB lines up under center for the Ravens, he's going to be inexperienced and liable to make big mistakes under pressure. Opposing QBs have had a lifetime to sit in the pocket and find their open receiver all season. The linebacking core is depleted, so much of this pressure is going to have to come from Jason Taylor. He must come ready to have a big day.

Key Players:

• Miami: QB Cleo Lemon - the running game won't be reliable for Miami's offense, so it will be up to Lemon to make plays downfield. The chances will be there since both of the Ravens' starting CBs will be out, and their replacements have been giving up big plays. He will need to be extra careful to avoid Ed Reed, of course.
• Baltimore: RB Willis McGahee - the Ravens would probably like to feed the ball to McGahee on every single play, and they very well might do that against this awful run defense. His ability to punch the ball into the end zone will be key.

Prediction:
Like last week, this is a very winnable game for Miami, perhaps more winnable than the Bills game. I still can't honestly pick the Fins to win at this point, but I really would not be surprised if they pulled out this upset this week.

Ravens win 20-17.

Bills-Dolphins: Week 14 Matchup

Here's a rundown of Miami's week fourteen matchup against the Buffalo Bills:

Where: Ralph Wilson Stadium
When: Sunday, 1:00 PM ET

Injuries:

• Buffalo: Out - DE Copeland Bryan, DE Chris Kelsay, RB Anthony Thomas, LB Coy Wire; Questionable - CB Jerametrius Butler, WR Justin Jenkins, RB Marshawn Lynch, T Jason Peters
• Miami: Questionable - WR Marty Booker, RB Jesse Chatman, LB Channing Crowder, DT Vonnie Holliday, LB Joey Porter, DE Matt Roth, NT Keith Traylor; Probable - T Vernon Carey

Positional Breakdown:

Bills	Unit	Dolphins
+	Quarterbacks
+	Running backs
+	Receivers
	Offensive line	+
+	Defensive line
+	Linebackers
	Secondary	+
	Special teams	+
+	Coaches
+	Overall Advantage

Keys to the Game:

1. Finish the game this time - all four quarters. Last time these two teams played, Miami outplayed Buffalo for almost the entire game. Buffalo was completely inept on offense, Miami didn't turn the ball over, and yet the Dolphins still lost because they couldn't finish off the opposition. This team must learn how to win, especially when it has an advantage. Buffalo does not have any significant talent advantage over Miami. This game will come down to which team wants it more when the game is on the line. Unfortunately, Miami has yet to take control in those situations.
2. Let Ginn get deep. Last game, Ginn was able to get open deep on several occasions but Cleo Lemon missed him on the throw. John Beck has a better deep ball, and it should be utilized this week. Buffalo gives up huge amounts of yardage through the air (254 yards per game), and it will behoove this offense to find some big plays deep to Ginn. He should be able to beat this secondary with little problem.
3. Chatman/Gado must make something out of nothing. Whether it's a hobbled Chatman or an inexperienced Samkon Gado, the running game has to get something going. I'm not saying they have to be dominant, but they must provide some sort of downhill running threat and between the tackles options. If Buffalo doesn't feel the need to respect these backs, then Beck is going to have a hell of a time finding any open space in the secondary.

Key Players:

• Buffalo: QB Trent Edwards - J.P. Losman started the last game against Miami and the Bills offense was inept. It will be up to Edwards to put a spark in it, although he has struggled in finding the endzone.
• Miami: CB Will Allen - Allen will probably be put on Lee Evans all game. Evans is another one of those AFC East WRs who habitually finds ways to brutalize the Dolphins. Allen has been playing well as of late, and he will need to shut down Evans deep.

Prediction:
This is a very winnable game for Miami. I think being the favorite going into last week's game against the Jets actually hurt their chances as it made them overconfident. That's not the case this week. Most people now expect them to go 0-16. I don't. However, that doesn't mean that I'm going to pick them to win. I just would not be surprised if they do.

Bills win 22-14.

As expected, WR Kerry Reed was resigned to the practice squad today. With the addition of Reed, the practice squad now looks as such:

1. T Tala Esera
2. QB Casey Bramlet
   
3. LB Marcello Church
   
4. RB Stefan Logan
   
5. G Marquay Love
6. K Matt Prater
   
7. WR Kerry Reed
   
8. WR Chandler Williams
9. WR Marvin Allen

Two LBs added

To fill the hole left on the roster by placing Zach Thomas on IR, the team signed LB Mark Washington (above) off of the San Fransisco 49er's practice squad.

Washington (6'3", 250 lbs.) was eligible for the 2007 Supplemental Draft but went undrafted. He was later signed to the 49ers practice squad. He is 22 years old. He played in three preseason games this year, notching 5 tackles (2 solo).

He began his college career at Arizona State, but later transferred to Texas State. He is a hybrid-type defender, best suited to playing linebacker in a 3-4 defense. He has experience playing DT, DE, MLB, and OLB. As a linebacker, he possesses good size and quickness and he's shown the ability to rush the passer.


The team also added LB Marcello Church (above) to the practice squad. Church (6'1", 230 lbs.) was an undrafted college free agent this year out of FSU. The Steelers signed him, but later released him.

Week 14 Wednesday Injury Report

• LB Channing Crowder (foot)
• DT Vonnie Holliday (ankle)
• LB Joey Porter (shoulder)
• DE Matt Roth (groin)
• NT Keith Traylor (hamstring)

Limited participation in practice

• WR Marty Booker (knee)

On a side note, the team also waived WR Kerry Reed. I doubt that any team will make a waiver claim for him, and I would except him to wind up back on the Dolphins practice squad in the near future.

Thomas, Worrell to IR

I'm too disgusted to talk about the loss to the Jets, so I simply won't, except to say that this team is on the verge of splitting apart in what would be an incredibly messy process. Just last week after the Steelers game, I mentioned how Cam Cameron should be applauded for keeping the team together through all of its struggles and keeping the players' effort up for tough games like that Bog Bowl on Monday night.

Well, something changed this week. The effort just wasn't there against the Jets. Cameron may be losing the team. If he is, it will be evident this week against the Bills. I really hope that isn't the case, as that just adds more questions that the organization doesn't have the time or energy to be answering at this point.

Also, while Cameron must bear the brunt of the blame for any rifts that are being created amongst the team, it's also reasonable to ask whether it's simply the frustration of being 0-and-a-dozen. Any team that goes 0-12 is going to be frustrated and the players are going to question the motivations of others. At this point, it's unclear whether that is indeed the case or if Cameron truly has lost the team.

==========

In what should come as little surprise, the Dolphins have had to place another safety on Injured Reserve - this time it's SS Cameron Worrell. Worrell tore an ACL against the Jets. He joins Yeremiah Bell, Renaldo Hill, and Travares Tillman as safeties who have been shut down for the year with injuries. Miami's safety unit is now down to Jason Allen, Lance Schulters, Courtney Bryan, Jereme Perry, and Tuff Harris.

And in other sad news, LB Zach Thomas was placed on IR today with lingering concussion issues. He has said that he will be back for another season, but this move may force him to reconsider. I really hope to see him back playing next season, but only if he's fully cleared to do so. Either way, he's a first-ballot Hall of Famer in my opinion.

Taking Worrell and Thomas' place on the roster are T Julius Wilson and LB Kelvin Smith who had been on the practice squad. This means that the team now has two open practice squad slots to sign other players.

Dolphins-Jets: Week 13 Matchup

Here's a rundown of Miami's week thirteen matchup against the New York Jets:

Where: Dolphin Stadium
When: Sunday, 1:00 PM ET

Injuries:

• Miami: Out - LB Zach Thomas; Questionable - DT Vonnie Holliday, DE Matt Roth; Probable - RB Jesse Chatman, LB Edmond Miles, NT Keith Traylor
• New York: Out - WR Jerricho Cotchery; Questionable - CB David Barrett, WR Laveranues Coles, TE James Dearth, DT Dewayne Robertson; Probable - TE Chris Baker, WR Chris Davis, TE Joe Kowalewski, DE C.J. Mosley, WR Brad Smith

Positional Breakdown:

Dolphins	Unit	Jets
	Quarterbacks	+
	Running backs	+
	Receivers	+
+	Offensive line
+	Defensive line
	Linebackers	+
+	Secondary
	Special teams	+
	Coaches	+
	Overall Advantage	+

Keys to the Game:

1. Chatman's health. Is Jesse really healthy enough to once again tote the load for an entire game. He looked pretty gimpy against Pittsburgh last week, and if he is ineffective, the offense will sputter. John Beck is already going to have to step up big this week, but an ineffective running game will put even more pressure on him.
2. Keep pressuring Clemens. The Jets allow a lot of sacks, so with or without Holliday and Roth, it will be up to Taylor to sack the team that he hates the most. Dom Capers has been returning to his more aggressive form lately, and I look for that trend to continue against the Jets.
3. Ted Ginn as X-factor. I think that this will be a low scoring game, and much of it will come down to field position. Ginn will have his opportunities in the kicking game to make some big returns, and he must take advantage. If he gives this offense good starting field position a majority of the time, then I'm confident that Beck will find a way to drive into scoring range.

Key Players:

• Miami: LB Channing Crowder - The defensive line hasn't been getting the job done in run support, so it will largely be up to Crowder to ensure that Thomas Jones does not have the same kind of big game that he had the last time these two teams met this season. He needs to avoid getting taken out of a play by play-action and wrap up when he meets the runner.
• New York: WR Laveranues Coles - He usually plays lights-out against Miami, but this week should be different since Cotchery is out with an injury. That should allow the Dolphins to concentrate more on shutting down Coles and forcing the other less experienced and less skilled receivers to make plays.

Prediction:
I don't think that Miami will go undefeated this season. And by that line of thinking, this game seems like it has to be the one that they win. It's at home and they are playing a team almost as bad as they are. It'll probably be close, but I'm cautiously optimistic that the Phins will get their first win this week.

Miami wins 19-16.

Let's get it done, boys!
