The Dolphins don't have a reputation for having a big-play offense, but Ted Ginn Jr. certainly can be a big-play guy.
He proved that in the first quarter when he took an end-around handoff and scampered 40-yards for a touchdown to give the Dolphins a 7-0 lead today.
Chad Pennington, probable for the game with a sore foot, seems to be just fine. He even scrambled for a first down on Miami's touchdown drive.
Join me for the continuation of the live blog in the comments section at the end of this post.
It looked like pennington just didn't want to take a chance getting clocked on that sack, finfan in CT. I don't think it had to do with the foot. I've been watching him and he seems fine so far.

Sparano seems to be stubborn about letting Bess return punts
Posted by: Marc | November 16, 2008 at 01:39 PM
Well that was a fast 1st quarter.
Posted by: Joel | November 16, 2008 at 01:40 PM
Let's see if we can flip field position.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 16, 2008 at 01:40 PM
We're gonna need decimal points to measure our average starting field position.
Posted by: George | November 16, 2008 at 01:40 PM
The Dolphins really need to work on their running game if they are going to make a playoff push.
Posted by: Joel | November 16, 2008 at 01:40 PM
Why NOT us?!
Posted by: Finsfan in CT | November 16, 2008 at 01:40 PM
Something must be wrong with Russell because Tuiasosopo is warming up. And Russell is 4 of 5 passing.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 16, 2008 at 01:41 PM
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Ronnie!

Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 16, 2008 at 01:42 PM
A lot of work to get very little
Posted by: Marc | November 16, 2008 at 01:42 PM

Posted by: nyfinfan | November 16, 2008 at 01:42 PM
3rd and 10
at least we've flipped the field
Posted by: George | November 16, 2008 at 01:42 PM
Ginn is just flat out getting it done!
Posted by: Finsfan in CT | November 16, 2008 at 01:43 PM
I think Teddy is going to silence you all very soon!
Posted by: Marc | November 16, 2008 at 01:43 PM
Nice touch on that pass by Pennington. Fine job of finding open area by ginn.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 16, 2008 at 01:43 PM
Woooooow
Another coming out day for Ginn!!
Posted by: George | November 16, 2008 at 01:43 PM
it makes me happy whenever i see ginn catch a pass. It keeps happening more and more. He may be the real deal folks!
Posted by: Chase | November 16, 2008 at 01:43 PM
First wildcat look o fthe day goes to Ricky for four yards.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 16, 2008 at 01:43 PM

Posted by: Finsfan in CT | November 16, 2008 at 01:43 PM
stupid internet...holdin' me up
Posted by: hurriphin | November 16, 2008 at 01:44 PM
CRAP!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Marc | November 16, 2008 at 01:44 PM
The Wildcat is not getting the big plays as much, but we're certainly chewing up yards with it. Very rarely a negative play from that formation
Posted by: George | November 16, 2008 at 01:44 PM
crap
Posted by: Chase | November 16, 2008 at 01:44 PM
Just go down.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 16, 2008 at 01:45 PM
Chris Johnson just got leverage on that ball and forced the fumble. Too bad.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 16, 2008 at 01:45 PM
saw that coming...Ronnie stripped! He almost lost it a couple of plays ago!
Posted by: Finsfan in CT | November 16, 2008 at 01:45 PM
New QB like I told you might happen.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 16, 2008 at 01:45 PM
lets get it right back dolphins
Posted by: Chase | November 16, 2008 at 01:45 PM
Damn, Langford was about to drill the QB!
Posted by: Marc | November 16, 2008 at 01:45 PM
Ronnie up, Ronnie down.
Posted by: George | November 16, 2008 at 01:45 PM
The Dolphins do not know prosperiety.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 16, 2008 at 01:45 PM
It's sucks, but Ronnie was trying for extra yards!!! Alright, let's go D!!
Posted by: nyfinfan | November 16, 2008 at 01:45 PM
we never get those! why?
Posted by: Chase | November 16, 2008 at 01:46 PM
Russell has an ankle injury.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 16, 2008 at 01:46 PM
Langford seems to be on fire today
Posted by: Marc | November 16, 2008 at 01:46 PM
MAN The raiders are just abysmal on offense
Posted by: Ken | November 16, 2008 at 01:47 PM
I feel for the Raiders!
Like looking at the Dolphins for the last two years...
Glad, we appear to be out of THAT forest!
Posted by: Finsfan in CT | November 16, 2008 at 01:47 PM
Play a shell. It will be a conservative call.
Posted by: Hayden Fox | November 16, 2008 at 01:47 PM
watch the screen dolphins
Posted by: Chase | November 16, 2008 at 01:47 PM
LOL, if our offense can't move it, we can count on Al's team moving us in the right direction!
Posted by: George | November 16, 2008 at 01:47 PM
ginn back on punt return
Posted by: Chase | November 16, 2008 at 01:48 PM
ginn and bess on the punt return with a fake handoff. Interesting stuff.
Posted by: | November 16, 2008 at 01:48 PM
ok, nice field flip, let's go all the way this time!
Posted by: George | November 16, 2008 at 01:48 PM
I don't like how its only 7 -0 they need to score here
Posted by: Ken | November 16, 2008 at 01:49 PM
D is playing great. need some more points though. dont let them hang around
Posted by: David | November 16, 2008 at 01:50 PM
Let's go play action right off the bat!
Posted by: Finsfan in CT | November 16, 2008 at 01:50 PM
How good are the Giants? they are manhandling the Ravens...
Posted by: nyfinfan | November 16, 2008 at 01:50 PM
Offsides
Posted by: Marc | November 16, 2008 at 01:50 PM
Miami offensive line looking terrible.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | November 16, 2008 at 01:51 PM
Sorry! Forgot to add "Let's go play action right off the bat..." AND BLOCK!!!
Posted by: Finsfan in CT | November 16, 2008 at 01:52 PM
I think I figured out why we use a lot of trickery...Our O-line just isn't that good!
Posted by: Marc | November 16, 2008 at 01:52 PM
The Giants are the best team in football. I think they are going to repeat
Posted by: Ken | November 16, 2008 at 01:52 PM
1st and five to 3rd and 16 wow... how do we put up a 95 yard td drive and then pull off that crap
Posted by: Chase | November 16, 2008 at 01:52 PM
WTF!!!! where did the o-line go
Posted by: David | November 16, 2008 at 01:53 PM
ken really noone cares about the giants right now
Posted by: Chase | November 16, 2008 at 01:53 PM
We need to stretch the field!!!!
Posted by: George | November 16, 2008 at 01:53 PM
Am I the only one who feels like Miami is getting conservative on offense?
