Ginn says he's ready for bigger role with Dolphins
By Steven Wine, AP Sports Writer
DAVIE, Fla. ? The text message from Chris Chambers showed up on the phone of his protege, Ted Ginn Jr., soon after the trade that ended their brief time as Miami Dolphins teammates.
"Keep doing what you do," Ginn quoted the message as saying.
Actually, the Dolphins expect more from Ginn than what he has done so far. That's why they judged Chambers expendable and traded him Tuesday to San Diego for a second-round draft choice in 2008.
The departure of the Dolphins' leading receiver ensures more playing time for Ginn, their top pick in this year's draft. He made only three receptions in the first six games but figures to become busier starting Sunday against unbeaten New England.
"I'm ready, man," Ginn said. "I run all day. I never stop. It's going to be fine."
Spotlight centered on Ginn

DAVIE ? Rookie Ted Ginn has 402 fewer catches than Chris Chambers and has never scored an NFL touchdown.
Ginn hasn't even lined up at wide receiver for an entire game.
Ginn and the winless Miami Dolphins are eager to change things, starting Sunday against unbeaten New England.
"Being out there for 60-70 plays will get me back into the routine of just playing a ballgame," Ginn, 22, said. "I'm ready for it."
The Dolphins are ready to see a return on their investment. The No. 9 pick in April's draft, Ginn signed for about $14 million in guaranteed money.
Ginn needs to produce at wide receiver if the team's decision to trade Chambers to San Diego is to pay off. Ginn has three catches for 83 yards this season and has not lined up as a receiver more than 25 times in any game.

The text messages started flowing from former Dolphins wide receiver Chris Chambers' cellphone as soon as he was traded Tuesday. Chambers sent the news to friends. And family. And teammates.
And of course, he also sent one message to Ted Ginn Jr., the rookie wide receiver that has considered Chambers a mentor for a large bulk of his life.
''Just keep doing what you do,'' Chambers told Ginn via text, as well as fellow wide receiver Derek Hagan. ``Be patient. But remember, your time is now.''
It's going to be hard for Ginn to forget.
Just three days have passed since Chambers headed west to San Diego, and even though Ginn won't even be the first or second wide receiver on the field Sunday, the message from everyone within the Dolphins organization has been blatantly clear: This is Ginn's time.
