RGIII just took a massive hit. Shoulder Stinger and head injury is the early report. If serious he might miss week 1 vs Miami.

Washington was tinkering with their o-line in the preseason and RGIII took some major hits before the injury. Message to Miami, don't mess around with your o-line when Tannehill is in these meaningless games!

Once again, the injury to a terrible QB hurts Miami  >:D

Junior Galette for Washington tore his Achilles today. Ending his season.

If Brandon Albert is unable to play Week 1, this is a break for the Fins. Hate to see injuries but it would be a break for the Fins

Albert is practicing now so he should be able to play. Isn't he playing Saturday night?

Nevermind ... just read this from Armando

Branden Albert is practicing this week and doing so at full speed, including today's padded practice. But he is not expected to play Saturday night, barring a significant change in internal plans. This despite the fact Albert told The Herald's Adam Beasley that he feels good one day after practicing full on Tuesday.

With Thomas expected to play at left tackle with the starting unit, obviously the Dolphins need a starting left guard. And that will be Jamil Douglas.

Interestingly, at a time most teams are trying to nail down their offensive line and build cohesion, the Dolphins are moving things around more than they did earlier in the preseason.

It is likely Thomas would be asked to go back to left guard when Albert is ready to play in the regular-season or when Fox returns from his concussion.

By the way, Dallas Thomas yielded seven sacks while playing at right tackle last season, per ProFootballFocus.com. He played only five games at right tackle.

If Tannehill gets killed during this game, the coaching staff should be on the next bus to Kalamazoo, MI.

And if he doesn't will you admit to being wrong? Hindsight is 20/20, the rest of the time we are all blind.

It's been an injury plagued preseason for the entire league

Can anybody remember the last team the Dolphins opened the season against the Redskins?

We opened the 1984 season agains the Redskins - maybe it's a good omen?  ;) :)

Wrong, it was 2007, in Cam's first game, which they lost in overtime after nearly throwing it away twice in regulation.

^^^ You have to be able to translate Typo-ese...he said "the last time" the Dolphins opened the season against the Redskins?

Which would be 2007.

I remember a had a sinking feeling in my stomach after that game.  I had a foreshadowing of what was to come that year

Report out today that the offensive linemen dislike RGIII. Washington is a mess. Miami can hopefully take advantage of the injuries and turmoil week 1

I remember that quite well.  How the team was sucking wind in the fourth quarter.  And how they would stand on the sidelines non-chalantly in several other games as if they were at a backyard brunch.  Or the turmoil involving Keith Traylor at the end of the year.

Getting rid of Cameron after only one season was the right move.  Not because of the record, but because he lost the locker room. 

I put $10 on Miami (-3) to beat Washington.  I feel like the game shouldn't even be competitive.

I'll be disappointed if it is anything other than a blowout in Miami's favor.

^^^ I'm with you on that sentiment. Even with Miami's (justified) O-line concerns, I think the Dolphins are simply a much, much better team than the Redskins right now.

I mean we could all be wrong, right?  But short of that, just looking at what we think and what we see, Miami looks really good.  We're moving the ball on offense, our QB looks better than ever, and our defense is crazy good and we've stayed relatively healthy, short of Delmas.  In addition, the Skins are a mess, rumors that the team is turning on the QB, and they just don't look good.

But it's football and anything could happen.  Should take that ass, tho.

No excuse not to win 38-9. If they are serious about being contenders, then they should start destroying the bad teams, not just beating them. Same thing the following week in Jacksonville. Another 30+ point victory.

If they don't win both games or just barely win them by a FG, then I think we know what to expect for the rest of the season.

I think that is a good bet.  Dolphins are an average team.  Redskins are a bad team. 

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion...a lot of teams start poor/strong and finish strong/poor.  I would just be very disappointed if MIA didn't crush those teams.

It's really hard to gauge too much after the first game. So many times I've seen the teams that show up on day one quickly fall apart and others who seemingly fall apart on opening day bounce back and go on a roll.

They are early season games when big upsets seem to happen; that said I'll be happy with 13-10 point victories in both games.  As far as I'm concerned they can save the big scoring games til they need it against the high powered offensive teams.

That's being unrealistic. In the NFL you don't often see teams go on the road and win by that much. Just win the game.

I feel that the Redskins are one of the worst teams in the league and will implode and fire everyone by Week 5, so I am giving them the 38-9 score.

The Jags might be closer, but the Redskins will probably compete for the #1 draft pick.

Just came across the Fox Sports power rankings and the only team listed worse than Washington & Jax are the Browns.  And Miami...they are listed as the 7th BEST team.  The recap says the only thing that could hold Miami back are injuries and Joe Philbin's coaching decisions.  :'(

what it says exactly is,


Don't put too much stock in any analysis that doesn't even know what conference the team is in. 

Maybe they mean that the Dolphins will beat every team in the NFC East.  That's possible, right?

Speaking of Cam news came today that he has been diagnosed with Cancer. I know Fin fans give him a lot of grief but keep him in your prayers tonight

I will be happy with a win, but I won't be doing any major celebrating until they clinch a playoff spot.

So that means you lose your money if the Dolphins win by three or less?

^ Pretty much.  If they win by 3, it's a push and nobody wins.  But if the win by 2, 1, or lose, I lose my bet.

So if the Dolphins are down by 2.  1 and goal from the 8.  Washington has no TO, Mia has three.  45 seconds on the clock. 

And then rather than attempting a TD, MIA takes 2 knees and two TOs than kicks a field goal.  Will you be screaming at the TV, "what the eff are you doing go for the TD", or will you cheer for the FG?

FYI, I never bet with points on (or against) my favorite teams. Your heart and head don't work the same way sometimes. In college we were fairly active betters and I never would consider "my" teams.

Anyone going to the game?  Got tix the other nite for me and my boy.  I live in Central PA about 3 hrs from WAS.  Looking forward to the game and seeing the start of this team, with a revamped DEF and Tannehill improving over the last 3 yrs.

Whenever I bet, my fandom for the Dolphins is always first.  I only bet amounts (like $10), where I'm not going to be in a position to be upset about the outcome.

So, just win.  Past that, my $10 doesn't matter.

Is this legal?

Yes...well...kinda.  The casinos don't exist in the US, so you're operating outside of US law.

Sorry if this is only semi-related, but did you guys see where the wife of the Redskins GM made a really bad post on social media about a female reporter.  Geez, that entire franchise has just been a trainwreck ever since Snyder took them over. 

Saw it, but in general I consider those types of stories to be irrelevant.   I don't consider the behavior of the wife of the GM of the Redskins to be a reflection on the Redskins.  Nor do I consider Belichick son smoking weed to be a reflection on the NEP.  If the GM of the Redskins had tweeted that, then I would say it was an issue. 

Oh, I agree with ya Hoodie.  It really is irrelevant.  It just gave me a chuckle because it seems like everything associated with that team ends up being a mess. 

Fortunately for the Redskins the story has run its course.  Nobody is going to give that story time  over debating the judge's ruling in the Brady case. 

Brice McCain won the starting CB spot it was announce today. He will start over Jamar Taylor opposite Grimes. Taylor's injury probably played a factor in this as he missed some time. In a month I wouldn't be shocked to see Taylor starting.
