Rookies hook up on deep pass

The Miami Dolphins glimpsed their future Tuesday afternoon.
At least they hope they did.
During a 7-on-7 team drill that featured mostly rookies and new players, second-round pick John Beck threw a deep pass that was hauled in for a touchdown by first-round selection Ted Ginn Jr.
The speedy wide receiver blew past defensive backs Shirdonya Mitchell and rookie Tuff Harris and actually appeared to have to wait slightly on the pass from his rookie quarterback.
"In the defense's defense, we drew that one in the dirt," Dolphins coach Cam Cameron said. "We've been running a route that looks similar to that, and I think you need to show young guys that you don't always go in there and look at the tape and think that offenses aren't going to adjust.
"We've been running the route for three days the same, and we got in the huddle and said, 'Hey Ted, instead of doing that, do that,' and said to John, 'If he's open, throw it to him,' so they learned a lot in terms of how you can truly in a game come up with something that you think will work."
While the play worked to perfection and appeared to catch the defense off guard, Ginn didn't seem to go with the whole drew-the-play-up-in-the-dirt scenario.
"I thought I ran the play," he said as he headed off to a meeting. "If it was something different, I'll find out in a minute."

Something Dolphins fans would like to get use to.
