Dolphins-Steelers
Tribune Review
QB Dante Culpepperhas 86 interceptions in 80 career
starts, including 12 in seven starts last season. Culpepper tore his anterior cruciate, medial collateral and posterior cruciate ligaments and faced a recovery time estimated at
12-to-18 months.
Culpepper was thankful he didn’t have to learn a new
system. Scott Linehan, his offensive coordinator for
several years in
the Dolphins’ coordinator last season, and even though he left and was replaced
by Mike Mularkey, the terminology and philosophy
remain largely the same. Are you a

During this preseason, both the Dolphins and the Steelers
have utilized the no-huddle offense, and they have used it successfully. The
Steelers used it during a first quarter touchdown drive against the Minnesota
Vikings in the second game of the preseason. The Dolphins used it through the
entire first half of a preseason game against the Panthers in
during the third week of the preseason. On both occasions, the teams’
respective quarterbacks made the no-huddle work. Bet now through Nine. Check

The Dolphins held their first regular-season practice
Sunday preparing for the NFL’s top young quarterback, but ended the day
planning to face his veteran backup instead.
Ben Roethlisberger underwent an emergency appendectomy Sunday, which gives
Charlie Batch the starting nod for Thursday night’s Dolphins-Steelers game at
Heinz Field. Roethlisberger has a 27-4 record since making his first NFL start
in a 13-3 victory over the Dolphins in September 2004. A Steelers backup the
past four seasons, the 31-year-old Batch guided
to victories in two starts in 2005 when replacing the injured Roethlisberger
(knee). Batch’s previous starts came when he posted a 19-27 record with
from 1998 to 2001. That included an 0-9 mark in his
final season with the Lions. Batch completed 59.5 percent of his passes (22 of
37) for 217 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions during the
preseason. Bet now through the

The
offense should look familiar to the
defense Thursday night. After all, the Steelers used to go against a version of
it every day in practice. Sure, there are bound to be new plays and formations,
some different looks and, as always, a gadget play or two. But offensive
coordinators don’t throw out their entire playbooks when they go from one team
to another, so the Steelers are bound to see some familiar features in Mike Mularkey’s Dolphins offense. Mularkey
was the Buffalo Bills’ head coach for two years before being hired by coach Nick Saban as offensive
coordinator. Before that, he was a Steelers assistant for eight seasons, including
three as offensive coordinator from 2001-03. Bet this game now through BetUs. Check out the
