DOLPHINS: TMQ on Ginn

[Richie Wohlers]

I think it's interesting that Henning is now getting some credit as an
innovator and a good coordinator.  It seems like 10-15 years ago (after a
failed HC stint), Henning was seen as a middling, disposable coordinator.
(It's amazing how much better a coach can be when he has good players.)

TMQ also spelled out the timeout error at the end of the first half that
some of you guys were discussing in another thread.  I missed that when it
happened live, and didn't totally understand what happened until I read
TMQ's explanation.  Sounds like a big mistake on Sparano's part.  This is at
least 2 games now (Indy, NO) where poor clock management may have led to a
loss.  I hope this is not going to be a long-term problem.
