In a continued effort to strengthen its offensive line, the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday reached agreement on a one-year contract with temperamental guard Richie Incognito, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. In a 40-point December loss to the Titans, Incognito drew two personal foul penalties for head-butting opponents, was benched by coach Steve Spagnuolo and watched the second half from the bench with a poncho over his head. Incognito, who was named the dirtiest player in the NFL earlier in 2009 by The Sporting News, was later fined $50,000 by the NFL for the head butts. From the season opener, the Dolphins proudly placed their much improved run defense as a cornerstone of their identity. That cornerstone has been crumbling the past two games, and December is no time for an identity crisis in the NFL. Buffalo running back Fred Jackson ran for 73 yards on 15 carries, 61 on 11 in the second half, as part of the Bills 129 rushing yards Sunday. The week before, Carolina’s DeAngelo Williams raced through the Dolphins for 122 yards on 13 carries. Had Carolina not kept putting the game in the interception-prone hands of quarterback Jake Delhomme, the Dolphins might be on a two-game losing streak. “We’re not executing, we’re not tackling well,” inside linebacker Reggie Torbor said. “You get in the backfield and it should be a 2-yard loss or 1-yard gain, ends up falling forward for 5 or 6 yards. From an offensive standpoint, second and 10 is a lot different from second and two. Miami Dolphins Mens Apparel and other Dolphins Apparel
With Ronnie Brown lost for the season, the Miami Dolphins turned to their aging running back. Ricky Williams showed he’s still got it. A day after learning Brown is lost for the season to a foot injury, the Dolphins (5-5) continued their surge after an 0-3 start behind Williams. The 2002 NFL rushing champion had a receiving and rushing touchdown in the same game for the first time in his career that included a couple of lost seasons. “Coach always talks about finishing,” Williams said. “Sometimes in this league, in a physical game, it’s difficult to finish. I think in the past we’ve prided ourselves on finishing games and we did a good job tonight.” Miami Dolphins Sports Memorabilia
We all know Joey Porter can have a potty mouth that keeps everyone not wearing a Jets uniform entertained. But in the Sports Illustrated that hits the stands and mailboxes Wednesday, we learn Porter has a dirty reputation, also. Six percent of players who responded said Porter and Haynesworth were the dirtiest. Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Hines Ward, the master of the blind side block, garnered 11.6 percent of the votes to be considered the dirtiest player in the NFL.

In the past five games he has missed, the Dolphins defense has allowed an average of 27.4 points, 168.0 rushing yards and 403.8 yards of offense. Miami Dolphins Sports Memorabilia
The deck has been shuffled. Now, it’s time for the aces and the jokers to separate themselves in the most objective way possible — during practice. “Just making sure everyone is on their toes,” Sparano said. Most notably, wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. did not work with the first- or second-team offense during the initial 30 minutes of practice that is open to the media. Those limited snaps were assigned to Davone Bess, Greg Camarillo and rookie Brian Hartline. Miami Dolphins Sports Memorabilia Miami Dolphins Sports Memorabilia
