I’m starting to notice a trend out of Dolphins camp these days, the name CHAD HENNE. As I wrote last week, given the Dolphins position it would be in their best interest to give Chad Henne the starting job and just let him go through a baptism by fire. He has a better pedigree from college and comes in with more raw talent than John Beck or Josh McCown.

So far this week in camp Henne is vastly outperforming Beck and is even said to be closing in on #1, by default, McCown. But it is not just the coaches or media noticing improvement out of Henne. Veteran defensive end Vonnie Holliday said Tuesday that before camp opened he would have been surprised to see Henne starting come opening day. When asked on Tuesday about Henne starting opening day, he said “I wouldn’t be that surprised. I like the way the guy carries himself. He’s not intimidated”. We’ll see how well he handles himself in the pre-season, but don’t be surprised to see Henne ascend to the starting role by opening week.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins have made no move to acquire veteran WR Terry Glenn. Glenn has not been invited for a workout and there is not one scheduled. Because of the questions surrounding Glenn’s knee, the Dolphins are no doubt exercising caution. They are also buying time to continue evaluating their current crop of wide receivers. So far this week Derek Hagan and Ted Ginn Jr are impressing coaches. Ginn in particular is making a mark. Head Coach Tony Sparano has said that Ginn has made great strides in improving his route running and that he added muscle to his frame.

In the end, Glenn would still be a good addition. Though injury plagued at times, he’s a solid player on the field and would be a great player for the rather “green” receiving corps of the Dolphins to learn from. Besides, Glenn is not really in a position to negotiate a blockbuster deal with a questionable knee and no other teams in the hunt for him. He can likely be acquired at a steal of a price, one that would be worth the risk.
