Lol @ underrating Ginn on ST's. We've never had a field general on ST's like that, never. Just because he didnt crack off 8 TD's doesnt mean he wasnt good. He made so many saves I lost count. Not too mention he was ice cold fielding the ball and getting in position.

 

That is flat out got to be one of the most dangerous positions in sports. To play it with balls out is to say "I am a greater man than you". I felt like we had that with Ginn. 3mil. . just 3mil man, ridonkulous

Yeah, I'm sitting here wondering what some of them are talking about. Ginn didn't set the world on fire, but he was great at at least catching the mother fugers instead of letting them hit the ground, and he had nice returns when he had the opportunity.

Consistent. He was very consistent

As bad as our STs have been the past however long it was like HOF caliber last season.

I don't know maybe someone becomes available as teams make roster moves.

That actually happens a lot.

Teams tend to want return guys that can do more than one thing because it saves roster space. The ones who are known to be returners only often wind up being one or two year rentals.

Debating whether to sign some return specialist that got released seems almost like an annual ritual on this forum.

I posted in another thread that Ginn was actually middle of the pack on returns if you went by average.

As long as the person fielding punts can do so without muffing it completely, we should be ok.

 

that is a stat that is based on BOTH the whole kickoff unit AND the defensive unit. You cant pluck Ginn out of that and define him with it.

Sure, Ginn didn't do anything spectacular as a returner last season, but he was competent. He didn't do anything stupid or muff any that remember. I fear that we will now have to hold our collective breathes again on punt returns again as we did in the Captain/Armanti Edwards era.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
