Quick Take: Miami's Henne, Pennington shine

What we learned ...

In Chads they trust: Miami's newly acquired QB Chad Pennington made a solid first impression, going 5-of-6 for 55 yards, and even scrambling twice for 18 yards. Pennington looked sharp, throwing crisp passes to the Dolphin receivers, including a bullet to Ted Ginn Jr. across the middle for 22 yards. Rookie Chad Henne also played very well in extended time. He led the Dolphins on three scoring drives, including a two-minute drill at the end of the first half, which ended in a field goal. Henne went 17-of-26 for 133 yards, but had a couple of nice throws either called back because of penalties or drops.

Ted Ginn Jr. making progress: Ginn, the Dolphins' first-round pick in 2007 who struggled some as a rookie, looked the part of a starting wide receiver, catching four passes for 58 yards, including two long ones while going across the middle.

Dolphins find a kicker: By releasing former kicker Jay Feely earlier in the week, Miami was putting the pressure of the kicking duties solely on Dan Carpenter, a rookie from Montana. Carpenter responded in a big way, going 4-for-4 on field goals, including a 46-yarder to end the first half.

Jaguars' passing game struggles early: Starting QB David Garrard couldn't find a rhythm with his receivers, going 7-of-14 for 63 yards. He completed just two of those passes to wideouts (one to Mike Walker, one to Matt Jones), and overthrew Troy Williamson twice, including once in the end zone.
