The Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers are set to play this evening. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 PM. There is a good chance that recent holdouts Hines Ward and Ronnie Brown will both play for their respective teams even though they have only been in camp for a few days.

Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban openly discussed his concern about the depth on his team during a press conference earlier this week, so don't be surprised if the second and third stringers get the majority of the snaps this evening. If the rumors that are swirling around are correct, this might be A.J. Feeley's last chance to prove himself worthy of a spot on the Dolphins' roster.

Tonight's game should be a great test for the first team offense, because the Pittsburgh Steelers boast a suffocating first team defense. Last week they stifled the Philadelphia Eagles offense and forced and early pick six. However, their pass defense is a little suspect, so if the offensive line can give Gus Frerotte some time the Phins should be able to move the ball in the air.

The Miami Dolphins run defense will also be under the microscope tonight. They are facing off against a punishing running attack. The Pittsburgh Steelers have an extremely physical offensive line and have Jerome Bettis lining up in the backfield.

Keep an eye out for David Boston. He is looking to solidify his position as the team's #3 receiver. I'm looking for a big play from him tonight.
