Ellerbe Has Message For Fans PLUS Week 15 Viewer Guide AND Final Injury Report




We have reached the 24 hour mark, as the Dolphins and Patriots are nearing their HUGE matchup at 1:05 tomorrow.

If you read the column from yesterday, than you know just how big this game is for the Miami Dolphins.

Well, not only do I know that (and if you read it, then you too), but the team knows it as well.  More specifically, Dannell Ellerbe.

Take a look:



That was Ellerbe's message to Dolphin fans that has been circulating around social media today.

Brian Hartline has retweeted it.  So has Brent Grimes.

Think this team is ready for tomorrow?  

The field will be ready too.  What do I mean by that?  Take a look for yourselves.  The grounds crew made some changes:



Packed house, aqua end zones, and an enlarged logo at midfield.  What else do you need?!

As I said, this is a HUGE game.

[Update: Apparently this was just a retweet by Ellerbe. Whatever, still got me pumped.]


WEEK 15 VIEWER GUIDE

New York Jets @ Carolina:  Pretty simple here.  While the Jets are a long shot to make the playoffs, they're still technically in the race at 6-7, and could pose some problems for Miami down the stretch in tie breaker scenarios.  Root for the Panthers here, and no, I shouldn't have had to tell you that.

Cincinnati @ Pittsburgh:  Miami's already beat Pittsburgh, so they're in the rear view mirror.  While it's slim, there's still a chance Baltimore could over take Cincinnati in the division, therefore pushing the Bengals down to the wild card race with the Dolphins. Miami owns that tie breaker thanks to a Halloween night win.  Root for the Steelers here.

Baltimore @ Detroit:  Do I really need to explain this one?  REG-GIE, REG-GIE, REG-GIE.  Ya know, just like the old days.


FINAL INJURY REPORT

Questionable: S Reshad Jones (groin), CB Jamar Taylor (hamstring) 

Probable: CB Nolan Carroll (hamstring), S Chris Clemons (knee, hamstring), P Brandon Fields (non-injury), OL Nate Garner (ribs), RB Lamar Miller (concussion), DT Paul Soliai (ankle), C Mike Pouncey (non-injury) 


Expect Jones to play, even though he was limited in practice all week.  It was more of a pre-caution than anything.  IF he can't, then look for Jimmy Wilson to be used a lot at the safety position.

Also expect Lamar Miller to play, as he's passed all of his concussion tests.  Whether or not he starts over Daniel Thomas is another story.  We'll see what Miami does.  My guess is they go with the hot hand, whoever that may be.


Picks and predictions coming up later.

ONE DAY.
