DOLPHINS: TMQ on Ginn

[Richie Wohlers]

I don't think the Dolphins are really trying to build a full-time Wildcat
offense for the long run.  I think that based on personnel, using the
Wildcat gives them a good chance at success.  They want to have a real
passing game eventually.  And when/if a real passing game happens, they'd
love it if they still had the ability to use the Wildcat 5-10% of the time.

That's my guess.
