Next Gen stats: Ted Ginn emerging as playmaker

[TN05]

Interesting video/article from NFL.com. They clocked Ted Ginn at 22.4 MPH on his 74 yard TD - he was matched up against Robert Alford, a corner who himself leads the league in ball-carrier speed (clocked in at 22.6 MPH in week 6 on a pick). 72% of his catches yards, and touchdowns are coming lined up on the left side of the field, where teams usually place their second cornerback. 

This proves why Ted Ginn is so dangerous. He's not a number one receiver, but odds are he is going to outrun your corner. Unless you put safety help over him or double team him, he will get open. Even if he's only catching half of them, that's still more than most NFL deep threats, and he's faster than all of them. Ted Ginn has opened up our offense so much, even when he's not producing. Great signing by Gettleman.

chances are he'll break 10 by the end of the season. i had him pegged as a 4-TD threat tops at the beginning of the season.

Dude would have at least 13 if not for the dropsies... then we'd be discussing Ted Ginn having a near-20 TD season. Friggin' incredible.

Grammar grannies...boo! My auto-correct kills half of my posts. Hate it. 

Yep..TedIII has left a good amount of points left on the field...but at 13-0, maybe he's just saving the up for the playoffs?!

i think a lot of Ginn's credit has to go to Cam and the OLine being able to protect Cam until Ginn gets separation.

People like you are so annoying. We get it.. You know how to speak properly.

Speed!  This is why if we don't go after a position of need in the 1st round of the 2016 draft we need to pull the trigger on Corey Coleman out of Baylor.  Our evidental replacement for Ted.

Can you imagine 4 wide with Ginn, Benjamin, Funchess and Coleman in 2016?

The combination of Ginns speed, our offensive line giving Cam the time to let those deep routes develop, and Cam getting much better at putting some air under his deep balls has added up to exactly the kind of deep threat that this offense has needed the last few years.  Hope it continues.

Bucky brooks amuses me .. says Arizona is a much better team than Carolina on scout vs scout.

And then after ginn torches atlantas defense he starts digging and puts out this tweet ..

Defenders facing @Panthers should pay attention to where Ginn lines up.. 6 of his 8 TDs have occurred when he lines up outside on the left.

Seems like a good time to bring up the brilliant prognostication of Adam Schein, who picked us to finish 6-10 and 3rd in the division behind the Saints and Falcons. Not only did he trash our receivers, failing to even ID our #1 WR, but it seems our OL sucks as well. Makes you wonder how we ever got to 13-0 with no weapons or protection for our QB.

"Honestly, I didn't think Carolina had enough at receiver before the Benjamin injury. Now? Devin Funchess is the current No. 1, and that's not fair to the second-round pick. He just doesn't appear to be as physical or NFL-ready as Benjamin was entering last season. And the rest of the Panthers' receiver depth chart looks like a witness protection program. Jerricho Cotchery? Ted Ginn Jr.? Philly Brown? Brenton Bersin? Who??

And beyond center Ryan Kalil, the offensive line remains a major area of concern in Carolina. Who's going to protect the $100 million investment?"

At the top of my Christmas wish list? More throws to that punt return guy. What's his name? Fred Jin or something?
