It seems like just two days ago that we were discussing Chad Henne's prospects of winning the starting job in Miami. It made sense at the time; he'd taken part in one full day of minicamp. After yesterday's practice, however, John Beck's not-so-firm status as the team's No. 1 quarterback seemed suddenly less tenuous.

Dolphins rookie quarterback Chad Henne seemed to be working on mental overload as he wrapped up the final practice of the three-day rookie minicamp Sunday.

At one point, he was told to run a lap after blowing an assignment. "I forgot the snap count," said Henne, the 57th overall draft pick. "I went on one instead of our second count. I deserved it."

Brilliant. Henne added that the last time he had to run laps was in high school for cursing. Presumably, he also had to wash his mouth out with soap afterwards.

That Henne struggled isn't really news; he was drafted last weekend, and he's having to learn an entirely new (and much more complex) offense, with a bunch of guys he's never seen before (save Jake Long).

"We threw a lot at [Henne]," coach Tony Sparano said. "We wanted to see exactly how much sticks. He might've struggled just a little bit, but I thought he threw the ball pretty well at times."

These experiences will all help make Henne a better player, and you have to wonder where Keith Traylor might be right now if Cam Cameron had forced him to run laps instead of just suspending him after a game of dominoes went horribly awry.
