Ted Ginn

[KendrickPanther]

Ted Ginn has been the most pleasant surprise this season. When we brought him in some people wondered why he never played offense for the 49ers. Some people said he was only a return man. Well he is playing some great receiver this year. It's not just the 13 catches for 243 yards. He's blocking like Steve and there hasn't been a single memorable or untimely drop. We thought he would run 9 routes all day but he's been great over the middle. Ted Ginn deserves some praise for the way he plays WR.

 

Now about the return game. It's hard to watch the TV and know what exactly is going on but we haven't seen signs of the big one. Maybe it's our scheme or blocking. Maybe it's the way our opponents punt the ball. He is averaging a little under 10 yards on punts and I hope they can work that out. Not really blaming anyone but It's notable.

Yes?

[Ricky Spanish]

At least we aren't giving up TDs and not fumbling on ST...

[Ricky Spanish]

But ted has been great so far. Really happy with him. 

[The Golden Child]

We need to re-sign him. He's a solid player.

[Mother Grabber]

Ginn is le bomb. We struck serious gold with him. watching him gel with Cam, we have a bright future to look forward to with them.

ginn is 28. he has a good four or five years to make plays for us if he can continue playing at his current level. it's exciting to think what he'll be able to do with cam chucking the rock.

If Ginn is going to get a couple more targets as a WR and IF, big if Barner can hang on to the ball I would give him a shot as out returner.

They are punting as high and as far as they can being careful not to out kick the coverage. Someone will goof up and give teddy a crease. It's coming.

[BabyChicago]

I'm not seeing the same talent everyone else is seeing. He is mediocre and not physical enough to hold his own with the cornerbacks.

Teddy blew that dude up on Brandon Laffell's TD run.  He looked like Steve Smith laying some wood.

 

Ginn has been great.  Bad hands?  What bad hands?  He has caught just about everything coming his way .

 

An he will break a punt return for big one soon.  He just hasn't had many good opportunities yet. 

[Guest Spider Monkey]

Ted has been solid. And it's just a matter of time before he busts an 70yd punt return & high steps into the end zone.

Glad he finally has a good QB to play with.

[Lumps]

Great pick up, I hope he stays here.

Yes he did and that is getting all the attention, but it wasn't even the best thing he did on that play. All the talk about how he is a deep threat and how it will open up our offense has come true. LaFell was open on that play 100% because Ginn drew the coverage away from him by running the deep post.
