Thanks for the heads up, I didn't even think to look and see if it was on here in Texas. I will be watching it LIVE!

 

Yup. I think it's going to be on Fox. Can't wait!

 

Yeah, first time I get to see my beloved Phins Live!!!!! I can't wait and its the best preseason game to watch! Gonna be a great day!!

 

Yeah I hope that we have a good showing with our starters. Its a chance for us to really make a statement going into the regular season. I'd love to see both side of the ball dominate Tampa.

 

I'm gonna be at the game! driving 4 hours and missing all my classes today, but it is gonna be so worth it!

 

What time does it start?

 

most important game of the preseason:

1) will all but define the roster by the end of night
2) could affirm/establish the Orca-5 as an up & coming dominate force within the NFL
3) should sort out the WR situation, we need to see who will step up. until now nothing is clear except that GinnJr will start & Pat Turner has all but disappeared on the radar
4) look for Bess @PR & GinnJR @KR. Bonamego needs to have access to our best to fix the Special Teams unit. He has to show serious improvement & a move in the right direction on SpecialTeams or Bowles could be promoted to head the unit.
5) like to see more of Hilliard in the pro-set as a RB & FB. Also need to see if he steps up his productivity on SpecialTeams. (two tackles in two games?)
6) want to see sacks from the OLB's. like to see more of Wake in this game. he's had two sacks, both of which were undone due to penalties. I remember reading he set the edge against the run (when needed) very well, as was the MonsterPassRusher in the CNL. Need to see if he can do the same for Miami w/ the potential loss of Roth.
the team needs to win this game & look good on national television doing it. winning our four preseason games would be a good thing for the team heading into the regular season, boosting confidence @ home & tempering some their many critics

 

My son and I will be at the game, along with Den54 and his son.

 

sweet! :up:I thought with all the Mike Vick talk, that they would make the Philly game the televised one.

 

nope g-man. i won't be able to watch it live nationally due to the fact that satalite(atleast dish network) doesn't allow me local channels :tantrum: but i will be watching from the feed again yay!!go medi:hi5:

 

i've got 4 hours of math class. it's the first one i can't exactly ditch it nor would i.. :(

so i'll watch the replay :hi5:

go phins

 

Well, that sucks...

Got local on my Dish Network, so I'll be enjoying it in D! :up:

 

going to be a big game in every way

 

thanks for the heads up

 

why can't you get local on your satellite, I have never had that issue with Dish nor Direct TV, and if there are no locals you are able to get other areas' locals (for people who really live in teh boonies).

 

NO WAY!!
Man that is just plain screwed up and wrong.
So you can't get the big 4 major networks? ie: ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox?

 

Dish Network is the worst!

Come to the lightened side and get Directv!

 

Already set the DVR to record it, now I have to decide if I miss a church event so I don't have to stay up past my bedtime to watch it. Decisions, decisions . . .

 

we need to look good in the first 3 quarters, but we need to lose one of the next 2 games. going 4-0 in the pre-season is a bad omen.

 

always play to win!
the only bad omen is a loss:bag:

4-0 is a good thing:dolphin:
as long as it sets the standard for the regular season

 

the Bengals beat New England 7-6. Detroit went 4-0 in pre-season last year. you play your best. but 4-0 is bad news.

 

Shouldn't be hard against that crap heap of a team in Tampa. I'll be very, very disappointed if we don't look outstanding against TB.

 

yea i agree it's pretty messed up but thats what i get for living in a small town i guess. oh they offered me "local" channels but the closest "local" is about 4 hrs away and it's not a channel that would show the national games. wth!! isn't that false advertisement to offer me local channels that aren't "local"? i had thought there was a bill passed that would make them HAVE to give me my local(at a fee of course)stations. so far they offered me local:colorado,n.e,florida,ny and houston but none that air the game because it's all "local" channels and not the "national" channels if that makes since.

 

No way man, we're winning for confidence! This is the important win... Next week - meh, not so much.

What I want to see:
1. O-line get another big push in the running game.
2. Secondary mesh in the passing game.
3. D-line dominate Cadillac and crew.
4. Apply LARGE pressure on Byron "Hang my arm before throwing as I don't move from the pocket" Leftwich all day long...

 

I actually get to watch it. Our channel 5 (fox) advertised it this morning.
Yea me!
I can't wait also was afraid theyd want to televise that stinkin' vick's game.

Go Dolphins!!!

 

This should be a good barometer, but realistically, they don't play this game for the "W"

They play to learn, solidify and not get starters hurt.

As has mentioned, this game will also show much of what the final roster is, and part of that is unfair, let me explain:
If you are on the bubble, the way you make the team is through individual performance, when anybody that studies the game understands its actually the team performance that matters......but it is what it is.

Hoping for a good game with no injuries.

 

It's on up here too - on fox!

:woot:

 

oh crap, i have a feeling i'll be stuck with the friggin iggles tonight!

edit: oh joy, i think theyre showing both games!!

 

Nothing closer that you could get with an antenna? I used to do that before DTv offered the locals here.

 

i dont have the 300 bucks to pay for their basic package.my friend pays 80(not including sunday ticket) bucks a month for a third of the channels i get from dishnetwork. i called about getting it last yr but the douche on the phone had me yelling and screaming by the end of the conversation and i never looked back.screw directv.sorry they really rubbed me the wrong way and it's just not sensibly affordable to me right now.

 

nope.tried that to no avail..the closest area station that airs the game is about 45 minutes away from me. tried the rabbit ears direct to the tv but cant get it to come in good enough.and ive had no luck aqquiring the kind you put on the roof.

 

the first class usually lets out early, depending on the professor. im crossing my fingers on your behalf.

 

Does Tampa even stand a chance? I think they are gonna be the worst team in the league this year. But you know what they say, any given thursday.

 

That pretty messed up, we are going to be a great team this season you must not do much homework before you make nasty comments like that

 

just like you guys were two years ago? we aren't gonna be that bad,just because we have a bunch of rookies? they were saying the same thing about you guys last year look what you did, so dont go to sleep on the BUCCANEERS!!!!

 

lets be honest. the bucs are not going to be a good team next year. their QB situation is ridiculous. they have one good WR and Winslow. their defense is good, but still has some holes and with a new scheme who knows how that is going to turn out. i would be happy for 6 wins for the bucs next year.

 

What I'm looking forward to seeing is our pass rush against that left side of the offensive line of Tampa Bay. Also, I read yesterday that Tampa is shopping both Luke McCown and Byron Leftwich so I'm guessing we're going to be seeing either more of those two or more of Josh Freeman.

 

I don't think they'll be too bad. They did go away from the Tampa 2 but they're still playing a base Cover 2 and they're going to be a more fast-flowing team. They'll apply pressure this season because I think we'll see them have their linebackers shoot some gaps. I think we'll see them go to a Tampa 2 cover, despite the change. On defense, I think a lot of it will be based off of Gaines Adams development as a pass rusher. If he gets after the quarterback well, which I could see, then I think they'll have success because once teams start worrying about Adams, it'll open up more things for the a blitz defense.

On offense, it looks like they may be going with Josh Freeman and whilst he's got some issues, I think they can work around them by rolling him out of the pocket and having Kellen Winslow run drag routes, etc. The issues that I have with that team on the offensive side of the ball is Donald Penn and Antonio Bryant. Penn struggled last year and he simply needs to improve. Bryant had success last year but he's been known to slack off in the past and if he dislikes the situation with his team, he'll tank it. He's done it before.
