Semi OT- Pennington out for Season
ESPN reporting that Pennington is out for season. Chad Henne will start this week and probably for the rest of the season. I am excited to see him get the start, I will definitely be watching the Dolphins closely in the coming weeks.

if he will throw to Ginn at all?
September 28th, 2009 at 3:34 PM ^
PROBABLY NOT BECAUSE HE'S A BUCKEYE LOL ISN'T IT AWESOME WHEN YOU LET COLLEGE FOOTBALL RIVALRIES INFLUENCE YOUR LIFE CHOICES
September 28th, 2009 at 3:51 PM ^
You YELL a lot. Gives me a headache sometimes...
September 28th, 2009 at 4:33 PM ^
Caps lock doesn't allow you to understand sarcasm.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:05 PM ^
lol i guess that quinn is still reminded of the time we beat them back at nd wen he threw that terrible pass that was behind him.... and got intercepted...
September 28th, 2009 at 4:29 PM ^
i would be wary throwing to him just because he drops a ton of balls. he's fast though. if he's open go for the TD go for it.
September 28th, 2009 at 8:57 PM ^
Ginn just won't catch it.
OSU alum aside, I was sickened to see the Dolphins draft him in the first place because it was a predictably terrible selection. You didn't have to be Nostradamus to see this bust coming a mile away.
I still remember Dolphin fans booing the front office when they announced that Ginn was their guy.
He's never going to be a go-to WR in the NFL. Not enough between the ears and he catches the ball like his hands are made of concrete.
September 28th, 2009 at 3:29 PM ^
Should be fun to see how Henne does. IIRC he gave up a pick six yesterday? Haven't heard how the rest of the game went for him?
Hopefully Henne and Long can lead the 'fins to some wins!
September 28th, 2009 at 3:33 PM ^
I should have bought the NFL Sunday Ticket.
September 28th, 2009 at 3:33 PM ^
go Henne!!!
September 28th, 2009 at 3:40 PM ^
play yesterday...but yeeeshhh, he was horrible. Given the fact that he, Ryan and Flacco werent that far apart coming out of college, I just dont get how bad he is right now.
I guess that shows how bad the coaching in Miami is...hopefully robot henne picks it up and the Henne-Long combo flies high again!
September 28th, 2009 at 3:44 PM ^
Horrible? Given how inferior his team was around him, he was fantastic. The pick six was bad, but he was pushing for points they desperately needed. What do you want?
September 28th, 2009 at 3:53 PM ^
The Dolphins line and their receivers are not a joke btw. Once Henne came in it was not pretty.
The pick six had nothing to do with points. He stared down the receiver on a relatively vannilla route. This was not a garbage time heave it 60 yards down the field interception.
That being said, playing time is exactly what he needs to become the Henne that we all knew and loved.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:00 PM ^
And he's their #1 receiver. He dropped two passes yesterday thrown by Henne that would have been first downs.
September 28th, 2009 at 3:53 PM ^
The fact they were behind late in the game, and that Henne has not been the number one in practice contributed to that. I would expect a much better game next week, may be not great but much better
Edit: weird, must have clicked fast or something.

come on everyone...let's jump on this negbomb train and ride it till it breaks down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 28th, 2009 at 4:20 PM ^
"guess that shows how bad the coaching in Miami is."
OH. MY. GOD.
Miami went from 1-15 to 11-5 in ONE YEAR and now you are talking about "how bad the coaching is"??
September 28th, 2009 at 4:31 PM ^
. . . as he gets more snaps with the 1st team in practice. You can't throw a 2nd year kid into his (pretty much) first NFL game when he's not totally prepared and expect him to light 'em up.
September 28th, 2009 at 3:40 PM ^
Thread could use a better title. Nobody gives a flying doughnut about Chad Pennington.
September 28th, 2009 at 3:41 PM ^
Hopefully my avatar will protect Chad well. Light em up Robot Henne
September 28th, 2009 at 5:26 PM ^
Your avatar protecting Chad? Didn't you read last week's thread? Jake Long is a bust!!
September 28th, 2009 at 3:42 PM ^
Is the QB coach in Miami still Dan Henning? He's supposed to be pretty good at that sort of thing (as opposed to other coaching positions).
September 28th, 2009 at 4:00 PM ^
with Pat White? That would be strange.
September 28th, 2009 at 4:28 PM ^
But oddly ironic.
September 28th, 2009 at 3:45 PM ^
Maybe Henne will have some deep Penny
Neg bang away!
September 28th, 2009 at 3:49 PM ^
Poor guy, he could be a decent QB if he could just stay healthy.
September 28th, 2009 at 4:03 PM ^
Awesome!! I can't wait to see Henne tear it up.
September 28th, 2009 at 4:08 PM ^
I'm not sure that the dolphins offense is suited to Henne's game. He did his best at U-M when he aired it out 30-40 times a game and just seemed to get into a rhythm the more he threw. I don't know if they'll let him do that and it's not like he'll have a go to receiver.
He has a more complete game/arm than Pennington and he could take that job for good if he plays well but I see this as a rough year for them. It'll be interesting to see if they give White or Brown more direct snaps now.
September 28th, 2009 at 4:30 PM ^
will it be possible (free) to watch chad and the dolphins play streaming-online in the future if it's not being shown locally?
September 28th, 2009 at 4:35 PM ^
I recall this going alright the second last time our QB rose up off the bench to replace an injured starter. The last time... Ehhh not so much.
September 28th, 2009 at 4:41 PM ^
You are talking about Todd Collins leading the 'Skins to the playoffs, right?
September 28th, 2009 at 4:46 PM ^
You're assuming he knows who Todd Collins is.
September 28th, 2009 at 5:01 PM ^
I'm sure he was a faithful reader of Todd Collins' blog http://toddcoll15.blogspot.com/

Miami has the Dolphins
The greatest football team!
We take the ball from goal to goal,
Like no one's ever seen!
We're in the air,
We're on the ground,
We're always in control.
So when you say Miami,
You're talking Super Bowl!
(Chorus 1)
Cause we're the Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number 1.
(Chorus 2)
Yes we're the Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number 1.
(Repeat)
September 28th, 2009 at 8:43 PM ^
He'll be fine. He can make every throw he needs to, and his arm strength will open up Miami's playbook a bit.
Now that he KNOWS he is starting, he will be mentally prepared.
As mentioned earlier, getting all the 1st team reps won't hurt either
September 28th, 2009 at 9:09 PM ^
too bad for pennington but great for henne.... and not really OT... henne is michigan related... ginn is a joke really... a good returner though but he drops passes way too much..
