Second-year quarterback Chad Henne defended Ginn when asked whether he had the weapons at his disposal to beat teams that use single coverage against a Dolphins passing game ranked 26th in the league.
"Definitely, there's no doubt about it," Henne said. "Ted is one of the most explosive guys in the NFL with his speed, his talent. He's coming along. He's improved so much -- that's what we forget -- from last year and how much he's improved as a route runner.
"I'm not worried about it. I have full confidence in him and we're going to get the job done in 1-on-1 coverage. "
Henne also gave some insight into a possible private conversation he may have had with Ginn about his problems getting open and holding onto passes.
"The way I dealt with it at Michigan was [to] kind of take it behind the scenes," Henne said. "Don't let the teammates worry about you talking to somebody else. I always take it outside the picture. Everybody's on a guy if he misses a play. You don't want to be the added guy that's saying, 'Come on. Why did you do that?'
"I take it out of the scenes and say, 'Listen, this is where we're at. We're going to get better. We're going to work on it at practice,' and that's all you've got to say. I don't think you need to say anything more. There are coaches saying, 'You need to do this, you need to that.' I say, 'We're doing the right thing. We just need to make the play.' "
