Among the changes this offseason have been a switch from defensive-minded coach Nick Saban to Cam Cameron, considered an offensive guru. For Chambers, it has also meant spending the past month adjusting to a new role at receiver. In football jargon, Chambers has moved from the Z position to X receiver. Why? It's a subtle change that could have substantial results.

Loosely translated, Chambers would line up primarily on the less-crowded side of some formations, leaving him more space to exploit mismatche
Cameron said Chambers seems to have embraced the change through the initial stages of offseason workouts. Chambers can grow more acclimated to the role when the team's next minicamp opens June 8.

The hope is that Chambers will rekindle his Pro Bowl production from 2005, when he had 82 catches, 1,118 yards and 11 touchdowns. But those numbers dipped to just 59 catches for a career-low 677 yards and four touchdowns last season. Chambers' franchise record of five consecutive seasons as the Dolphins' leader in receiving yards ended.

I guess so. Not sure slot is the right place to be playing Ginn. If I'm not mistaken, the slot receivers are usually the guys who go over the middle, not the guys who stretch the field. Ginn's asset is speed, not size or durability. Who else do they have who could fill the slot role?
