One of three observations..

1. It's too early to close the book on Chad Henne. Dolphins fans welcomed the 26-year-old incumbent quarterback to training camp with boos and chants expressing their desire for the team to trade for the Broncos' Kyle Orton -- interesting in that Henne's first three seasons don't look so very different from Orton's. Orton, as a Bear, threw 30 touchdowns to Henne's 27, had 27 interceptions to Henne's 33, and completed 55 percent of his passes to Henne's 61 percent. More than that, says Sparano, "I see progress in this guy. I see it right now, in training camp. I'm seeing another jump." Henne has been throwing the ball downfield, particularly to Brandon Marshall, with more confidence and accuracy than in any previous camp. Even as some clamor for his backup, Matt Moore -- he of the 55.6 quarterback rating last year with the Panthers -- to start Week 1, Henne deserves one more opportunity before being deemed a failure.
