Cleveland's Brian Robiskie was expected to be the most "pro-ready" rookie, but he's been outplayed by his supposedly "raw" rookie teammate Mohammad Massaquoi.

Perhaps the most surprising rookie receiver story is unfolding in Miami, where Robiskie's old college teammate Brian Hartline is making a serious run at a starting flanker job opposite Ted Ginn.

Hartline also seemed to adjust quicker to Pryor than Robiskie, so the pattern continues.

Dolphins rookie receiver Hartline a fast mover
By ANTONIO GONZALEZ
Associated Press Writer

DAVIE, Fla. -- Brian Hartline likes to move fast and take risks, things the Miami Dolphins rookie receiver has done plenty of this year.

He skipped his final year of eligibility at Ohio State after catching only 21 passes last season and still managed to get drafted in the fourth round by Miami. He earned his degree in communications, got married and moved to South Florida without anything guaranteed in training camp - not even a roster spot.

"It's been busy and hectic and a lot of work," Hartline said. "With training camp, the first goal coming in was to make the roster. Then after a couple of weeks, just being a competitor, I jumped the goal up. I thought. 'Why not? Why can't I start?'"

That's one of many questions surrounding Hartline that he's beginning to answer.

Hartline had three catches for a team-high 79 yards while starting in Miami's 10-6 exhibition win against Tampa Bay on Thursday night, including a 54-yard reception that setup the Dolphins' only touchdown. He's making a strong push to start in the regular-season opener opposite fellow Ohio State grad Ted Ginn Jr., helping shore up a position that has been one of Miami's weakest.

Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said he will wait until after the final exhibition game Thursday night at New Orleans before deciding on the second starter. The competition between Hartline and Greg Camarillo for the spot next to Ginn is perhaps the biggest battle left in Miami's preseason.

"I am looking for a guy that can gobble up yards out there that is a little bit opposite of (Ginn)," Dolphins coach Tony Sparano said of the final receiver spot. "If you can get a guy to make some bigger plays there on that other side, I think that helps you."

The Dolphins believe there might not be a better compliment to Ginn than Hartline, who served a similar role at Ohio State. The pair teamed up to help the Buckeyes make the BCS national title game in 2007, which they lost to Florida.

A revamped Buckeyes offense with run-oriented freshman Terrelle Pryor last season limited Hartline. The idea that Hartline would leave the school after that wasn't a surprise. Everyone around him only thought it would be for another school, not the NFL yet.

"It was a risk for some, I guess," Hartline said. "I'm still out here every day trying to prove myself, trying to compete for a position on this team. I still have a lot of work ahead."

Nice shot - my only gripe with Hartline over the years was that he seemed to make a lot of catches with his body (just my recollection, no idea how accurate)... but he has received praise for his hands this preseason... glad to hear I was wrong :biggrin:

I think a lot of that in college could be attributed to most of his catches(well, a lot of them at least) being over the middle and in traffic. Hartline took a lot of hits over the middle, just like Sanzo is taking now. I can only recall Brian having issues catching the ball in a couple of games during his OSU career.

Dear Associated Press Writer:

It's 'complement.'

Sincerely yours,

So, just curious, is everyone predicting him to have a better rookie year statistically than Robiskie?

I would predict that. Robo is in competition with more players that can fill more roles in more situations than Hartline is, although I think the Browns will tally at least 500 more passing yards than the Dolphins this season. I would guess Hartline gets more consistent chances though, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him have a 40-or-so catch year, which I don't think Robo will match this season. Interesting to see where Robo ends up on the depth chart, but from the preseason games, ti didn't look like Mangini was putting him in there in situations with the idea of him being the #2 guy.

so much for B. Hart starting, he had zero catches last night...

Veteran receivers Davone Bess and Greg Camarillo leapfrogged rookie Brian Hartline as the starter and collectively produced 57 yards on seven receptions.

Chad Pennington said we're seeing more continuity with the offense because he's got his veteran receivers back. He insinuated that he's comfortable with Camarillo and Bess, and needs to gain a level of comfort with the rookies.

"We're trying to regain chemistry because it's been a revolving door. We've worked a lot of guys in camp, and now we're trying to hone in on the core guys who will be making plays for us on Sundays," Pennington said.

Miami Dolphins plan to regularly rotate receivers
By Omar Kelly South Florida Sun-Sentinel
September 10, 2009

DAVIE - Miami Dolphins coach Tony Sparano warns not to read too much into the team's depth chart, and encourages you not to pay attention to which receiver starts Sunday's road game against the Atlanta Falcons.

That would explain why Greg Camarillo, who is listed as a backup on the depth chart, continues to hold onto his role as one of the team's starting receivers.

But Camarillo, who started 11 games last season before tearing the ACL in his left knee, might only be out there for the initial snap during Sunday's 1 p.m. season opener before getting replaced by Davone Bess, who started seven games as his fill-in last season.

Sparano stressed that it really doesn't matter which receiver lines up opposite Ted Ginn Jr., the team's primary deep threat, because they'll all play. Each has an assigned role, working with different formations and sets.

"We've had a steady rotation," said Camarillo, who caught 55 passes for 613 yards and two touchdowns last season, his first as a starter. "The coaches are mixing it up, and we're interchangeable. Whoever lines up in the game can get it done."

Bess, who is presently working as the slot receiver, said the constant rotating encourages each receiver to "stay on top of our game."

"Anytime we get a ball thrown to us we've got to make the most of it because it may not happen for another couple of weeks," said Bess, who contributing 54 receptions for 554 yards and one touchdown. "You've got to be as productive as possible."

Rookies Brian Hartline, who started two games in the exhibition season, and Patrick Turner, are paired together with the second unit.

The fact that two Buckeyes will be playing a lot of WR for the Dolphins, and virtualy all of their games are on TV in South Florida, shouldn't hurt tOSU's chances of continuing to recruit WRs from the Sunshine State.

Except for the the fact their QB could be a former Meatchicken QB.

And one BS pass interference call.

Pennington is comfortable with Bess and Camarillo because he cant throw it more than 10 yards and thats as far as those guys run. Now I dont dislike either of them but the fact still remains that we cannot win without getting the ball downfield to Teddy and getting a player like Brian Hartline in the game and being productive. Every team needs the Bess and Camarillo's but those teams have a star QB and huge WR/Running game to complement them. Miami, at this point is short on at least one of those categories. Maybe all three.
