Miami Dolphins WR Brian Hartline will be given an opportunity to win a starting job during training camp, reports Armando Salguero, of The Miami Herald. With Brandon Marshall occupying one starting position, Hartline will battle with WRs Davone Bess and Greg Camarillo for the other. Salguero believes Hartline has the best intangibles when it comes to a combination of size and speed to win the job. Hartline spent time bulking up during the offseason because he wanted to add another dimension to his game instead of being a "little, quick guy."

The Miami Dolphins need to find a complement to WR Brandon Marshall in the starting lineup, reports Omar Kelly, of The Sun-Sentinel. Offensive coordinator Dan Henning loves a smart receiver, and he said WR Brian Hartline was the team's smartest receiver a year ago. Hartline led the Dolphins' receivers in yards per reception (16.3) and the team may want the player opposite Marshall to stretch the field. Hartline is considered the team's fastest option at receiver. He could unseat WR Greg Camarillo for a starting job and hold off Davone Bess.

Bess said, "It's been a long journey, and I just feel like I had to start from ground zero with that number. It's just a lot deeper than what it seems to be. … For me to go through what I went through with that number, it speaks measures. … It meant I overcame a lot and I'm still trying to overcome more. I'm my own biggest critic. I'm just trying to get better and better and better." Marshall has been wearing No. 19 this offseason.

Miami Dolphins QB Chad Henne was asked during his press conference Wednesday, Dec. 16, about what makes WR Davone Bess so effective on third down. Henne said, "It is just his quickness, how he can maneuver his body, how he can get in and out of cuts. Makes him deadly for a defensive back. It is tough to go up in his face and press him even though he isn't going to beat you down the field with speed, he will beat you with quickness and breaking out of the routes."

Miami Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano said during his press conference Monday, Dec. 7, that he felt the New England Patriots' initial game plan Week 13 was to take Dolphins WR Davone Bess out of the game. Sparano said, "We felt like they might try to press him as much as they could press him, so moving him around a little bit, trying to do some things that way. We moved him outside-in, just have him constantly moving and taking the press off him if we could. I thought that it was good design and it gave him a chance."

Carlos Frias, of the Palm Beach Post, reports Miami Dolphins WR Ted Ginn Jr. was only thrown to three times in Week 4, catching one pass for four yards, due to the offensive game plan. Head coach Tony Sparano said the reason Ginn saw so few opportunities was that the Dolphins often ran their offense from a "big" formation, which calls for two tight ends and other receivers who normally work that scheme. WR Greg Camarillo, who works in that package, and WR Davone Bess each had five passes thrown to them. "Ted got lost with that a little bit," Sparano said.
