The thing about Ted Ginn


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Teddy G has become one of my favorite players.  He knows exactly who he is, what he brings to the team, and he's comfortable here.  His personality is beginning to shine too.  Little things like that wild back pack... and he's been giving some good interviews.  He's assuming some leadership on the team, it seems.  I like what he brings.  His rapport with Cam is awesome. 

With all of our other offensive weapons and scoring opportunities, I can pretty easily put up with some of his dropped TDs.  (Hey the suspense increases the entertainment value & drama of the game:  is he gonna catch it or drop it?!?!  Hold your breath... cross your fingers...!) 

The combination of KB's size & power, Funch's good hands and fluidity, and Ginn's speed.... and then Thor... practically leaves me drooling in anticipation!

Man, it's still amazing to me just how good Ginn works in our system.  I remember talking to a friend of mine who's a saints fan last year and he was giving me so much grief over the fact that Ginn was gonna be our #1 receiver, and with no receivers we were doomed to have a 5 or 6 win season.  We shut him up pretty quick.  Still, I think it's just environment.  Everyone's worked at a job that they just hate and it makes their work suffer.  It might be a crappy boss (coach), shitty coworkers (crappy players around you), or just shitty atmosphere (I mean, imagine playing for Miami fans in ANY sport), any of those things can lead to you looking like crap when it's just situation.  Here, Ginn just gets it, he fits in every way and hopefully will stick around with us till we get a ring.

I still think Ginn was too fast for every other QB he's had.  Cam with just a flick of the wrist can get it downfield to a streaking Ginn, no one else in his career has been able to overthrow him.

If Ginn has to slow down he's terrible, full speed though, above average.

Cam's laser rocket arm and Ginn's wheels are just a good combo.

47 had one of worst experiences of football I've seen in some time. keV was abusing him on multiple catches(to the point where he didn't want to tackle),  super whiff on Ginn TD and he got trucked by stew on one play. Similar stuff happened on STs too. I was shocked he hasn't gotten cut immediately after the game.

Earlier this week, Coach Rivera said he wished Cam would call out his teammates more. I thought that was interesting in that outsiders would say he is not a good teammate but don't realize he never calls out receivers for making mistakes.  I believe Ginn is successful here because if he drops a ball (which people here and everywhere always bring up) Cam is just going to throw it to him again. Could you imagine Ted Ginn playing with Aaron Rodgers? He had Donald Driver and Greg Jennings, and he was constantly throwing them under the bus. Confidence goes a long way for a player and Cam gives Ginn confidence.

Well, yeah, there is that. 

 

If Ginn had great hands, he would not be on Carolina's team. There would be no way they could afford him. 

If Ginn had great hands, the Dolphins would've looked smart drafting him 10th overall. Of course, Ginn was the smarter choice over back then fan favorite Brady Quinn.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
