Miami Dolphins head coach Nick Saban is still undecided as to who will start under center in week one of the regular season. During a conversation with the press, Saban didn't say whether Gus Frerotte or A.J. Feeley would start Saturday against Tampa Bay. Of course, this leaves the door open for A.J. Feeley's reinsertion into the starting lineup.

Just a week or so after being named the "temporary" starting quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, Gus Frerotte proceeded to stumble, bumble, and fumble his way through the Steelers game. It was by far the worst performance he's had since becoming a Dolphin. Frerotte ended up 7 of 18 for 87 yards and two fumbles.

A.J. Feeley on the other hand, was efficient but impotent. He was 16-20 for 94 yards but once again could not get his team into the endzone. However, his inability to score a touchdown probably had more to do with his teammates than himself. His offensive mates found all sorts of imaginative ways to fumble the football and kill drives.

Although A.J. Feeley might once again assume the starting quarterback role, there's a chance that a third party might get a shot at becoming the Miami Dolphins main signal caller. According to published reports, the Dolphins will bring in Tim Couch for a workout. The former #1 overall pick was out of football last year, but has garnered interest from a handful of teams after undergoing successful shoulder surgery in February.
