What's next for Ted Ginn?

The Dolphins have reportedly lost patience with "Teddy Bobbles."

The Dolphins have reportedly lost patience with "Teddy Bobbles."

One of the hot topics following the Dolphins' collapse on Sunday against the Saints has been centered on receiver Ted Ginn.  We all know that he's been a huge disappointment this season and it has all finally come to a head after another poor display by Ginn on Sunday - which featured a couple more dropped balls, one of which was plucked out of the air by a defender and returned for a touchdown.

Since then, I've noticed a new website, TedGinnSucks.com, and a petition by Dolphin fans to have Ginn cut from the team - which, as of this posting currently has close to 100 signees already.

But the "real news" comes courtesy of Chris Mortensen, who said on ESPN during their pre-game show on Monday night that Ginn will begin to see less action on gamedays:

Per ESPN's Chris Mortensen (who likely still has a pipeline to his former ESPN colleague, Bill Parcells), Ginn will see reduced playing time going forward.

Mort also said that, if the trade deadline were tomorrow instead of last Tuesday, the Dolphins would be dialing up the Ravens and offering Ginn to the team whose offensive coordinator, Cam Cameron, drafted Ginn in 2007 with the ninth overall pick.

First off, it's probably true that Mortensen is more "dialed into" the Dolphins front office than most other reporters because of his relationship with Bill Parcells.  And I'm not surprised at all that Ginn will start to see less playing time.  That's what he deserves.  But I get the feeling that the idea Miami would be "dialing up the Ravens and offering Ginn" is pure speculation by Mortensen.  I doubt this front office would ever let that information out to anyone, let alone a reporter who will just turn around and announce it to the world.  What would the Dolphins even get by trading Ginn?  Does he really have any value at all at this point?

Star-divide

More importantly, though, while most of you probably will jump over to the petition and sign it and then proceed to talk about how much Ginn sucks, I did want to just bring up one thing that I haven't seen talked about much in regards to Ted.  Yes, he's been a huge disappointment this season - there's no debating that.  And yes, in a perfect world, the Dolphins could just cut him.  But can we get real for a moment?  What alternatives do the Dolphins currently have?

Like most of you, I do like guys like Davone Bess and Greg Camarillo.  Both seem to be ideal complimentary wide receivers.  Brian Hartline has also looked pretty good in his limited playing time - and I expect he'll be the beneficiary of Ginn's lost playing time.  And yes, it might be time to start getting some looks at the team's other rookie receiver, Patrick Turner.  But the fact is that none of these guys are deep threats.  None of them possess the speed needed to keep an opposing defense honest.  And without Ginn on the roster, opposing defenses wouldn't even have to prepare for any kind of deep threats.

Quite frankly, the Dolphins need to keep Ginn for the rest of this year just as a decoy, if nothing else.  After all, the Dolphins can't trade him now that we've passed the deadline and cutting him seems rather useless without any clear-cut upgrade on the roster.

I'm also not in favor of just making him a weekly gameday inactive.  While this would give a guy like Patrick Turner an opportunity to play, I just don't think this is the solution.  Ginn needs to at least get some snaps in three and four receiver sets for no other reason than forcing opposing defenses to respect the threat of the deep ball.  The Dolphins have absolutely no other options.  Is Kory Sheets, a speedy running back the Dolphins signed last week to take the roster spot of the injured Patrick Cobbs, going to suddenly convert to receiver?  He's the only other offensive player on this roster with any kind of speed that can stretch the defense.  But let's be serious - he isn't the solution.

The fact of the matter is there is no solution right now.  We just have to suck it up for the rest of the season, keep Ginn on the active roster but reduce his number of snaps, and hope that when he does get behind the defense that he actually hauls in the Chad Henne deep ball like he did against the Jets.  Then, once the offseason comes, we all know what one of this team's top priorities will be - finding a receiver.

whatever it TAKES

I agree with you caliphins, Ted Ginn you suck monkey balls now, you even suck when I play madden 2010 on my xbox 360 still dropping passes in a video game. I hate to be down on people but your hands are like stone and you are like the cowardly lion from the wizard of oz when holding on to the ball. You make Henne look bad with his stats and make the offensive line work hard for no catch and no gain. c’mon Ginn you need to try harder, us fans need OUR team to win HARD games. I have the best solution for GINN lets hand him over to the Raiders LoL I’d rather get nothing for Ginn in a trade rather than him be on out team because he is more of a threat to us. I know im being hard but if we would have beaten the Saints THE DOLPHINS would have gained the RESPECT we DESERVE. Lets see what Patrick Turner from USC has, he’s alot bigger and physical he is more of a RED ZONE THREAT rather then Ginn because of his size and SURE HANDS…………..but to be kind, Ginn I hope you improve and better yourself.

Damn……….we could have gotten Anquan Boldin, Brandon Marshall,

SIT HIM

and get Turner in. Nothing to lose, so what if Turner drops balls – we have that already. Upside is – he might catch one or two or turn into something. Give reps to Hartline as well. Might as well make something of your last draft.

by coloradokevin on Oct 27, 2009 12:51 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah, it's time to activate Turner. He couldn't possibly be any worse

And to respond to your question, Matty — No, I don’t think we’d get much for Ted Ginn (even before the shit show he threw down yesterday afternoon).

Look, I’ve been one of Ted Ginn Jr’s biggest supporters since we drafted him. I’ve been able to look past the half-assed routes, half-assed blocking assignments the absurd way he avoids contact. I’ve liked the thought of him as a lethal #2 receiver for us, and never, ever placed the expectations of a #1, go-to wideout on him that others have. All of that said, I am now officially off his bandwagon. His drops have been bad this season, but watching him turn a perfectly placed pass into a pick six was the final straw for me. Sorry, he’s gotta go after this season.

I haven't jumped the bandwagon

but the Dolphins have now become my AFC team. Ginn has always been and probably always will be a body catcher. Even that long pass vs. Jets was over the shoulder cradle catch. He has always had trouble when he has to extend his hands for a catch. Go back and look at some of his catches. They hit his belly and he cradles it.

by WhoDat_OH on Oct 27, 2009 10:33 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions   0 recs

Start him.

He can still catch a ball deep (if he’s past coverage). He and CP7 may still gel.

Part of being a fan is rooting for what you got

…i’m certain Ginn’s confidence is already gone. Sites like that are derrogatory, and in a way, hurt the team as much as any bad play Ginn can make.

Best the team can do is let him play as the deep threat, if nothing else, he can also run reverses, and return kicks.

Clearly, receiver is a top need. Can’t really do much about that until the offseason. Shit, I cant do anything at all but watch since I dont make the decisions.

Until then, for me, and hopefully the true fans, best we can do is hope the kid can do better for the team and for himself going forward.

The deep threat decoy idea isn't a good idea

We didn’t have deep threat capability with CP10, and Matty was a big backer for him to remain a starter. A playmaker is more important than a decoy. Patrick Turner has hands like glue. He is a threat in the red zone. We’ve beaten teams without the deep threat, but not with dropped passes. Turner deserves a chance sooner or later this season.

Ginn can go deep, but he is no threat…

by SDefee on Oct 27, 2009 1:07 AM EDT via mobile reply actions   0 recs

Yup, it's Turner time

Even Tim Graham (someone who called the Turner pick “a complete reach”) was talking about how great Turner’s hands look.

Matty I don't see how Ginn is a deep "threat"...

I am not a Ginn hater but doesn’t he have to prove he can catch to be a “threat” I mean don’t other teams see the film on him not being able to catch? Is it just me or has he missed at least 3 touchdown passes right through his arms after he beat the corner? The other team doesn’t even have to worry about him. I just don’t see him as a decoy until he proves he can catch a ball somewhat consistently. Does any hear about his work ethic? Does he have any drive? It just seems to me if I was the receivers coach I would have him after practice catching hundreds of balls!

He is a soft guy, the other day Omar Kelly reported that

Ginn really got under Sparano’s skin because he wasn’t going 100% on practice. Not reaching for hard balls and staff like that.
Plus, yeah, putting the words “Ginn” and “threat” in the same sentence is a little bit of a reach.

Opportunity is there...

That deep catch against the Jets from Henne made me ecstatic. It proved to me that there IS a possibility that Ginn can be a guy to stretch the field… he beat 3 Jets DBs on that play. It was beautiful.

If the stuff you guys say is true IS true, then he really does need to change his ethic. Sitting him until he shows he’s ready might do the trick. But look, the guy isn’t purposely trying to fail: I saw his face after what would have been an easy 1st down late in the 4th quarter against the Saints. He just needs to focus on making the catch first, then looking for yardage.

Just a thought...

I know I am just thinking aloud….but isnt Marvin Harrison a FA sitting at home waiting for a phone to ring? Would it be a bad thing to sign him for the remainder of the season to help us along. Not a long term option, but someone who is without a doubt a clutch reciever?

I have my doubts about Harrison.

No doubt that the skill and ability is there, but I don’t see him signing a short term contract. I think he’s looking for a multi-year contract to carry him until he is ready to retire, and with his age and injuries I don’t think he would be the best choice. I would just wait until FA and find someone then.

Gotta agree with this.

If Ginn is like a Marvin Harrison type receiver… why not replace him with Marvin Harrison?

I am not against trading Ginn for another speedster, but I am against getting rid of him without an adequately speedy replacement.

I dont get the "deep threat" bs

Not all teams have a receiver who can run as fast as Ginn and they seem to make due. Plus you forget to mention that Ginn, although fast on top end needs a aricraft carrier launch deck to get him up to speed. He is worthless at this point. He has no skill and not tallent. Bench his ass then just package into some kinda deal this off season. We have to get something for him.. hell send him to the Lions for a $20 and a some beer nuts.

I'm a big fan of roasted peanuts.

At the very very very least, he can take a CB out of the game and maybe a safety on every play. Just have him streak downfield.

He will most likely have another good game or two this year, but the word is Consistency, and he will consistently fall short.

or the rest of the season, I don’t see him making the roster next year.

It’s time to try out Patrick Turner, or bring back London.

I dont think they can do that now. They still have to stay under the cap for the rest of the season.

I think this will accelerate all of whats left of his bonus to this year and put us over the cap. Next year is a cap free year most likely so they can cut him after the year but I am sure they will try and trade him before the draft. I am sure someone out there thinks they can fix his problem (there always is) and at least get a late round pick for him.

According to Yaho Sports B4 the Saints game Ginns YAC was .09 yards after the catch.

ARE YOU FREEKING KIDDING ME? I mean I believe them.. but I was surprised to see it THAT low. I figured he would be like 4 or 5 YAC max.. but UNDER 1 yard after the catch? Another fact proving Ginn sucks

Use him as our return man only

Activate Turner. What good is a deep threat if he’s costing us games? And if he’s on the field, he’s wasting a spot for someone who can contribute. I don’t like to have him out there for five or six or twenty-five plays just because, maybe, ONCE in 6 games he’ll get a deep ball thrown to him for a TD.

I’m done hating on him. Waste of my energy. And Chris Mortenson’s talk about Cam and the Ravens is obviously just a joke. Ginn getting less playing time isn’t.

Ginn's YAC

is not on the list. But I can tell you that he has less than a 3.2 yard average after catch, because that is the lowest the list goes. Here are some Dolphins that have a higher YAC than our #1 receiver.

Hartline 8.4
Haynos 8.0

The sad thing is that also includes his one big play in the Jets game.

I forgot where he caught that, maybe the 10 or 15 yard line, but that brings his average way up.

Suffice to say, he catches the ball and immediately falls into the fetal position.

Looking at the numbers I posted above, our 2 running backs, a 3rd running back that is out for the year, our #2 and #4 receivers, our #1 TE and #2 TE, and our FB all have more YAC than our supposed #1 receiver. How can anyone argue that he sucks dick against those numbers.

Seemed to me that 3.24 inches was more accurate!

Ted Ginn catches the ball and “slips” down immediately 3.24 inches from where he caught the ball.

I've lost all confidence in Ginn.

And honestly, it wasn’t even the drop that turned into a pick six that made me finally give up on him, it was the drop late in the game when we needed to advance, when we needed to keep the drive alive so we could score. And the throw was in his hands, IN HIS BODY, and he dropped it while he was wide open. WIDE OPEN. WIDE MUTHERF&$CKIN OPEN. And he drops it. Chambers may have been “mediocre”, but Ginn for me right now just plain SUCKS. It’s so sad that we even have Ginn in our Goat List at my job TWICE.

Ginn, start packing your bags. Come next season, your out of here.

It's a poor workman who blames his tools

Buddy Ryan explained his evaluation of Don Shula as the best coach in the league by saying something like, “He’ll take his and beat yours, then he’ll take yours and beat his.”

Now, Ted Ginn is not good when: 1) double-teamed in traffic, and 2) in the short open field when he’s turned to the QB and is expected to turn and run after getting the ball. It’s easy to see that as being afraid of contact, but that’s not true; certainly, he’s shy of it, but he’s taken plenty of short turn-in and across-middle-routes where he’s gotten clobbered. It seems that it’s the uncertainty that affects him, of not knowing if, when, or how he’s going to get hit.

It’s best to take Ryan’s advice: use his phenomenal speed for the deep routes, for out routes to the sideline, short first-down patterns where he can hit the dirt as soon as he catches the ball, and here’s one further proposal:

Why not rush him more? Our biggest handicap in the rushing game is our lack of outside speed. Put him in RIcky’s spot in the wildcat a few times. It’s true, as MainePhinPhan points out, that he needs a runway to get rolling. Well, the wildcat from Ricky’s position gives him that runway. Plus, it makes it much harder for teams to stack the wildcat inside, which is what NO did to us.

We have a world-class speed guy who can play football when given the right situation, so let’s give it to him.

Finally, if there’s one team that we don’t sit Teddy against it’s the Jests. I think their safeties will throw up a little bit every time he breaks free of the corner on a deep route.

I think the first time I heard that...

was from Bum Phillips when he was HC of the Oilers about Shula…it went something like…He’ll take his’n and whoop your’n and then take your’n and whoop his’n.

And I like your creative thoughts on how to use his strenghths. For some reason I can’t figure out, I feel more comfortable with Gin involved in the Wildcat than Pat White.

It was Bum as Buddy hated Shula. Most of you on this site

( I dont know if this applys to you Joel) were not around for much of Shulas reign if any. Buddy Rayan came out and accused Shula and Landry of cheating and the NFL of just looking the other way. He hated that they were such legends I guess and claimed to hate Shula personally. To this day it makes me shake my head. We all know about Shula being a great human being but as much as I hate the Cowboys the same can be said about Landry. Both of those Ryans are total BASTARDS!

Good point, Texascowpunk. I’d forgotten about B. Ryan’s great defense getting crunched by us in ‘85, and, of course, he was a Jets coach before that, which is probably the root of his hatred, but then I have a lot to forget about. I was actually at the very first Dolphins game in the Orange Bowl, when Joe Auer ran back the opening kick-off for a 95-yd TD. I turned to my Dad and excitedly asked if he thought we would when the league championship. "We’ll see, son, we’ll see," was his reply. We saw, all right, but it was a lot of fun anyway.

A por bowl LT to anchor a line for the next decade is kinda hard to find. Don’t get me wrong, I wanted Ryan, but after 3 games, I’m not ready to say Henne is a bust.

Say what you will, and we can crunch the numbers till we are blue in the face. The facts are under 3 starts w/ Penningtion we avg 14.1 points a game. With Henne’s 3 starts we avg 34 points a game and have scored over 30 points in all his 3 starts.

Exactly.

Henne seems to have opened up our game tremendously.

And the Ryan vs Long debate is the stupidest shit ever. You MUST have a good LT to protect your QB, or your QB doesn’t so anything. Ryan in there with a 2nd rate LT would make us worse off than we are.

And I think Henne will be just as good as, if not better than Ryan. I would love Henne to have a Roddy White.

He is a good qb for sure, but he has weapons galore in Atlanta, whereas Henne has a cast of possession receivers and a speed guy who needs stick-um on his hands

They’ve never had a receiver throw them under the bus by bobbling accurate passes? THE GUY JUST MADE HIS THIRD CAREER START.

I dont think Henne's numbers were horrible... not good cus 2 passes went for pick 6 but otherwise his numbers were not the worse ever by far.

If Gin didnt allow that pass away from him.. and if Bess didnt drop 2 and if Williams catches that 1st down Hennes numbers look much better. I think allot of the blame for Henne having a bad game should be on Ginn for dropping 6 of 8 and giving up a pick 6 which was totally his Ginns fault.

I only saw 4 or 5 bad throws by Henne with the one near the end really a BAD CHOICE but other then that he did ok IMO

I said on trade deadline day that Ginn would hurt Henne’s development.. and I still think that.. even more so now.

I have seen nothing from Henne that worries me.

Had the recivers caught some of the damn passes then the Saints now have to respect the pass and quit stacking the line to stop the run. We get back to the run and Henne does not feel the same pressure to make a play. One pick 6 was all on TG and the other one was him trying to make a play in crunch time. Every QB has made that mistake. Henne is going to be just fine. I expect him to have another good game this week against the hated Jets.

I haven’t yet seen one single impressive start out of him. Against the Jets he was carried by the running game while making a bomb and 2 clutch short 3rd down passes. Well Boo freaking hoo. Until he doesn’t win a game by himself like Brees did Sunday or Flacco almost did against the Vikings, then he is just a mediocre at best qb for me.

And I suppose all of last year, your boy Pennington was not.

In the telling fourth quarter, where football legends grow, Henne would complete 9 of 12 for 121 yards, twice leading Miami from deficits

If thats not impessive to you, then you really need to think out your priorities.

And w/ a little help from the defense, our boy Henne has our team scoring 20 points per game than w/ your boy Pennington. With the same cast, aka runningbacks.

And here is the bottom line for you:

When your team is putting up 30+ points per game, the QB and offense is not your problem.

C'mon don't kid yourself. The game against Buffalo

doesn’t even count, get real. In the Jet game the Wildcat by itself scored a TD while the running game carried the team all game long, even in the last drive where Henne not once had to attempt a 15+ yarder. Sure, it was pretty good, but not impressive like Brees’ comeback last Sunday or the way Flacco came back against Minn. You become an elite quarterback when you have to fling the ball 8 straight times with gains of 15 or more, and until now he hasn’t done that, even though he had a chance against NO.
This last game the Defense and Ricky Williams put up all the points on the board, even if the number is a big “30”, not a qb with a 45 rating and a 50% completion average, plus 2 interceptions.

Why doesn’t it. I think the Bills are 3-3 and have one 2 straight since we handed their @ss to them?

Sure, it was pretty good, but not impressive like Brees’ comeback last Sunday or the way Flacco came back against Minn

Two things here:

1) there is absolutely no way you can comepare Brees a seasoned vet with weapons coming out his ears, to a QB making his 3rd start.

2) As far as Flacco goes…..he lost that game against Minnesota, I think we won.

a 45 rating and a 50% completion average, plus 2 interceptions.

So your saying all those drops (and since we are not kidding ourselves) the WRs and TEs are committing contributing to that rating and completion % is all Henne’s fault. Just like that pick 6 that Ginn was playing hot potato to the DB of the Saints was his fault as well?

I just want to make sure we are clear on this.

Agree with a lot of that

Bottom line:
Last year, when giving Pennington credit was due – after MVP voters voted him second only behind Manning but in front of Adrian Peterson himself- you could never do it. He was far from perfect, but just as Henne did for the first two games of his career, he found a way to bring those wins, either sometimes pulling it off almost by himself and other with lots of help, like it is supposed to be. But you could never stand it. Well, this year, every and I mean every single time Henne is one inch away from being perfect, I will not tolerate it and I will make sure my opinion is heard as I have a right too.

Got it, my argument is that

if Henne wants to grow into a franchise qb, he’s got to be treated as one, and be held accountable when he doesn’t step it up as well as not over hyping good but not great performances. Thus, preventing from growing some kind of uncontrollable expectations from him.

Nope, I’m saying that Pennington and Henne bhas both started 3 games this season, with the same running attack.

Pennington = 413yds 1 TD 2 INT (I won’t go into the fumbles lost) thats a 137ypg and a 76 passer rating. More importantly 0-3 record.

Henne = 659 yds 3TD 3 INTS (stats include clean up work in SD) 164.8 ypg and a 76 passer rating. More importantly 2-1 record.

I’ll also point out that Henne is out performing your boy seasoned vet Pennington with his 1st 3 starts of his career.

Uhm, no it's not the "Stupidest shit ever"

This is a quarterbacks league, and when you pass on a guy that is considered a Top 10 NFL QB on his sophomore year, there clearly will be some discussion about it . Tell me you really believe that if he had sat for his rookie year behind Pennington or whoever, right now, in 2009, we wouldn’t have a good LT to protect him? Tell me you really believe getting a good LT is as hard and important as getting a good QB. Don’t even begin to kid yourself. Wether Henne can be as good as Ryan is another story. But pretending that a LT is as important as a Franchise QB is laughable. L A U G H A B L E

And just to clarify,

I was a major supporter of Pennington and still love the man for what he did, and continues to do, for this team. CP10 is my #2 favorite dolphin of all time, but there comes a time to move on and be excited about the next guy and that time is now. Henne has shown absolute brilliance. He has made very few mistakes and the only time his passer rating was below 100 in a start was a direct result of at least 6 drops by receivers (including an interception caused by a receiver).

Henne is brilliant. Climb aboard the bandwagon because it’s going to be around for a long time. knock on wood

Atlanta

had a perfect offense for Ryan to fall in to. Meaning, a great RB in Turner, a bunch of talent at WR, and a solid Offensive Line. Henne has the RB’s, a OL that is solid now, but no real WR threats like Ryan does. I have to partially agree with Joel311 on this one, because for the finz Long had more value. You have to build from the lines out. Ryan wouldnt be a good passer throwing off of his butt every play.

You got that right!

The record for backs with as many carries as Turner has last year, a whopping 376, isn’t very good in terms of longevity.

Interesting because in ’07 the league leader in carries was portis, and he had a good 50 fewer carries (321 or so) and still lead the league as compared to Turner, 1 year later with 376.

The vikings best be careful with peterson as well or they’ll burn him out quick.

If I remember correctly...

Hartline was on the receiving end of a 60-something yard pass against NO. Yes, speed is important for a receiver and for the long ball, but quickness and the ability to get yourself open are probably more important. Not to mention CATCHING the ball. It does no good if you are fast, but can’t get open or can’t catch (hmmm – remind you of anyone?).

 My point is, that he is not our only deep threat. If Hartline/ Turner can get in there and gain experience, and show that they can get open or break the tackle for extra yardage, then why hold them back simply because “Teddy is fast”? We definately need to get a true #1 receiver before this offense can take off. But, we also need the O-line to run block out of basic formations better then they are.

Ted Ginn and his family need to be traded for whatever we can get (I know the deadline has passed, but in the offseason). He is scared of getting hit, and he drops more balls than he catches. It is time to count our losses and move on, and it may be better for the player too.

by KnoxVegas on Oct 27, 2009 10:16 AM EDT via mobile reply actions   0 recs

I think you are a little confused as to what a deep threat implies.

If your WR has to break a tackle or two in order to get behind the defense, he’s not a deep threat.

I’m not saying Hartline isn’t a beast… I have wanted him to start all season. I was actually pissed off when I found out Bess had reclaimed the #2 spot after Hartline’s stellar preseason performance. Now, I would like Hartline to start at #1 and Ginn come in during 3 WR sets as the deep threat. I also think Camarillo needs to be our #2… he has really separated himself from Bess in both reliability and YAC.

by your definition, Terrell Owens = Not a deep threat...

He lived off taking short to intermediate passes and taking them deep….

A Deep Threat is a player that can either catch a long ball, or break for 50-60 yards every pass they get.

Enough is enough

I have officially given up on Ginn, I kept on giving him an opportunity to do something, but no more, nothing, he’s through, bag him up send his ass back to Ohio. I don’t care if Turner is a slow in learning the plays, put him in let him learn the hard way. We have to get rid of Ginn, I do agree that it may be late to to do it now but it’s final that the Fins will either be drafting a high WR next year in the draft or we sign one in the off season, borrowing some huge trade somehow this year, don’t know how that would work. I wish the Trifecta would of been here before Cameron’s regime, what a wasted pick.

What Deep Threat?

One must CATCH the football to a be any kind ot “threat” period. Kick and punt returns, end arounds, that is about it for Ginn’s productive role in this offense. He can’t block to save his life either.

Suprising Potentials on my list are:

1. Pat White can run and catch suprisingly well. He has good speed and hands.

2. Tyler Thigpen also has suprising speed and hands.

With these two options the wildcat offense could see a very interesting “deep threat” potential at least. At first look, who on earth would even cover them with any kind of seriousness at wide receiver?? I see big play potential here which I think is what you are looking for when labeling a “deep threat”. Plus as long as you simply get behind the coverage, even linemen in this league possess enough speed to stay out in front of the majority of defenders.

Food for thought anyway.

Only problem is

that every time PatCat comes into the game he seems to dissrupt what ever flow the offense has going. Does anyone know the stats on every snap that Pat has taken? It cant be very good. I am not saying to ditch putting him in there, but I dont think he needs to be in there more yet until he proves that he can actually do something when given the chance.

Eh,

I was surprised they pulled him after one play against The Saints. He was tackled from behind when the O-Line let a defender through with no resistance. That wasn’t White’s fault in the least.

The problem is the plays being called when he is in the game, not Pat White himself.

Out of all the plays he’s ran this year, the only one I know of that gained more than one or two yards was when he was in the spread formation, and he took off on a QB draw. These BS option plays they keep trying to run continually get tackled for losses. I keep saying it over and over again. They need to use the spread formation and give White the option of running it or throwing it. That is the best way to use his abilities.

well, I guess most of us agree that being able to run fast is not enough

unless something happens, ginn’s season is lost. we should start looking for someone that might be able to do a better work than he has done so far. shouldn’t be very difficult.

Let's break it down a bit ok?

Ted Ginn runs fast, hence he runs deep patterns.

Now the phrase ‘deep threat’ must be read properly…

He runs deep patters AND is a threat to drop most passes thrown his way or even drop them right into an opposing db’s hands.

Deep threat that Ted GInn……

by Natalya on Oct 27, 2009 11:22 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Not necessarily bs,

but since he is a “deep threat” to us to drop the ball, he will pull a cb and possibly a safety to cover him so when the pass is dropped or bobbled off his hands they will be there for a free interception.

Ted Ginn

didn’t play receiver in high school and we all know how well he’s turned out, despite several years as a college wideout.

You don’t just line up and become a pro wideout after a few practices. Even the guys with ultra speed – much, much faster and bigger than Pat White – can’t do it and plenty have hoped/tried to. Otherwise, the WR position in this league would be nothing but a bunch of track/field guys which is hardly the case.

Joey Galloway was cut from the Pats last week. He still hasn’t signed with anyone. He’s only 2 seasons removed from a streak of 3 1,000-yard receiving seasons in a row. We need to sign him. Worst case scenario, he’ll be as useless as Ginn on the field, but a good mentor to our younger WRs.

but do you really think he can mentally recover from this while in Miami? I don’t think it’s possible. The fans have turned on him pretty badly, and I really can’t blame them. I was one of the biggest Ginn defenders to start the season, but he really is making things hard on our new franchise QB.

If Harrison had anything left,

the Colts would have re-signed him. But they chose to go with two rookies and Anthony Gonzalez over him, that should tell you how little the thought of him. Plus he was coming off of a knee injuy.

Harrison was never a big or physical guy. Without the speed and quickness, then he’s going to have a whole lot of trouble getting open.

Matty

I normally agree with you, but I gotta disagree when it comes to Ginn. Stretching the field and all the speed in the world dont matter if you just cant come up with the ball. Ted has shown that he not only wont go for the difficult catches, but that he will also drop the easy ones. I have to think future here when I say that miami needs to see what they have in their young receivers to gauge what they have to do in the offseason to address the position. I am sorry, but Ginn needs to be traded. He will never be what this team needs him to and he is making #9 overall pick money….(a larger amount of money than what Boldin is making). Players who cant catch, tremble when they see a defender, and constantly run out of bounds just dont get respect in my book. He has little trade value now I am sure…but heck, maybe we could still fetch Brady Quinn for him seeing as how that is who we should have drafted with that pick in the first place (even if he didnt pan out, at least he works hard and would have shown up!).

Stretching the field always matters.

If Ginn only catches 25% of his passes, but the defense fails to defend him, then 25% of the time we get a TD. So everytime it’s 2nd and short, we take a bomb to Ginn and it will pay off for us big time.

If you don’t think Ginn pulls defenders, how many defenders were involved in the pick 6? Two-1 CB and 1 Safety. Well, I guess the defense gives his speed more respect than the fan base does.

That is a great theory

but, how many TD’s does Ginn have this year?? I guarantee it isnt 1 for every catch he has. Ginn has 1 TD catch which was the nice bomb against the JEST’s. If you take away that catch which was 53 yards, his longest on the season is then 21 yards. Cammy and Hartline both have more longer catches than that, and niether of them is known to stretch a defense or have great speed. Like I said, nice theory, but it doesnt pan out.

Expectations

Let’s make one thing clear about the expectations of Ted Ginn Jr. (and his family).
1) It’s not his fault he was drafted 9ht overall.
2) Ginn’s role should be returner and the occasional opportunity at WR to stretch the defense
3) He really has very little trade value. Even the Ravens wouldn’t offer a decent pick for him because they know he’s not worth that (regardless of what Cam thought back in 2007)

Finally, I want to see one thing from Ginn. Catch one ball and turn upfield and take a hit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that. Ever.

Not his fault

that he was picked #9, but he is making a huge amount of money….do you think that is actually worth paying for given your suggested role for him??

WR Coach is the Q here!

Ginn is a Good player. Inconsistent but good in times. The REAL picture here is putting the blame on the coaches. They need to take responsibility for Ginn’s progress.

I dont know. They took an undrafted guy and turned him in to a pretty good reciever.

There is a very real chance that Ginn could have wound up on any team and still sucked. Thats a pretty powerful assumption you have made there without anything to really back it up.

you're right on Bess...

BUT you have to remember that he is a natural receiver. Ginn’s body and mentality is suited as a natural vertical speed runner. All I’m saying is that its apparent that the guy is scared to take a hit. These coaches need to take responsiblity in getting Ginn take serious hits, I’d say have him run post patterns in practice and have Wake smash him till he mans up!

now that the world knows he's a decoy...

doesnt really make him a threat at all..short or long, almost not worth covering…yeah I say this with sarcasm, but teams will cover him as hard as they cover Henne in the wildcat…Unfortunately, Ginn will probably be OK for someone else,and we’ll end up angry at some other time…Its like training an apprentice,waiting for results which never come until he’s traded,then he lites it up….America is land of here and now..what have you done for me lately?…missed catches,ruined possible outcomes….Time to seek alternative “hands”….ouch.

they have to cover him deep

because he can still catch well enough to when it’s dropped into his breadbasket, ie, the jets game. And if the D gives that up we’ll take it. The underneath stuff is a different story.

Keep Ginn

but, train his mind to win. Yeah, that wright, Ginn body is in very good playing condition but, coaches must work out of his mind the fear bug that does not let him excell.
My suggestions:
1) Position trash containersfilled with water half way all over the field, and start throwing him long balls toward the containers. Let him trash himself against the comtainers agood 100 times each week to help him break that psyco-fear-barrier that holds him back.
2) After his has gone throu the containers drill, have him watch 2 hours of Marino-Nathan Brothers long ball connections so get can see how a combination of running, catching, and flipping upside down to score is the way to win, if needed.
3) Have Henne and him have a shouting session of why they are not connecting. Yeah, that is correct, a shouting session, I would like to Henne to scream his lungs out to Ginn. and Ginn to scream his lungs out to Henne, until they spitt to each other, and the fury of their emotions bond them for good to excell on the field.
I truly feel we have a pair of diamonds in Henne and Ginn, but our coaches have to
force the bond and grind out the fear bug out of both of them.(In my view Henne has used only 70% of his ARM strenght, to this date I don’t know why he is afraid to sling the ball, I guess he just needs to understand that his receivers are well padded and hold all he’s got, not just a fraction of his ARM strength)

I have been making this same argument

but it’s nice to see it from someone with a higher football iq. No Ginn and neither safety would ever get out of the box. Hartline is probably the second fasted wr (basing this on his track background, I don’t remember his 40 time or anything) but he isn’t going to just blow past anyone. More useful on the field than the bench.

trhe best thing for us to do with Ginny is...........

Have him just run down the field as fast as he can at least 4 plays a drive. Do it on 2 down plays. it will open up the field because the opposing DBs will see him running down the field and will be forced to respond, even if its a slight hesitation. It will open up the other guys. And maybe every once in awhile he maybe open enough to throw the ball to ala Jets game. I think in the off season if we cannot unload him via trade that we have him restructure is contract. Give him a chance for a big payday by making his contract incentive based. I am sure if it was built around catches per game, YAC and TDs he would defitnetly improve. But right now, we need to just use him for what hes worth or bench him. I think another option is activating him every other week. That way we can see how these other boys do. P Turn and B Hart need a chance. They are hungry. Everyone says we need a deep threat to win. They also said last year this time that we need a QB with the ability to throw the deep ball. Well we all see how that worked out for us last year. Why not defy the odds and show that it is possible to make Lemonade right now. Lets get some more young talent out there. Clemons, Davis, B. hart, P. Turn: give them all at least one full game. And who better to get them hyped up for than the Jets. Theres my 2 cents.

Keep Ginn in the Game???

“Ginn needs to at least get some snaps in three and four receiver sets for no other reason than forcing opposing defenses to respect the threat of the deep ball.”

Are you high? What deep threat? He had that one, good performance against the Jets two weeks ago in the 3 years hes’ been here. He can’t block, he can’t catch and definitely can’t take a hit. Deactivate him and let someone else have their shot. We are not going to have a deep threat until we draft or trade for someone who can catch and run with the ball.

by DarthVader on Oct 27, 2009 8:12 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Hes had more than that one good performance against the Jets, but to far and in between for the kind of money he is getting. Everytime I see him I want him to do good, but damn I mean even his friends got to be saying that his money well invested.

How much of a cap hit will we take if we cut him next year? I mena we did it twice at the begining of the year, so we all know the FO is not scared to do it.

if pre season was any indication – turner needs more time… his route running was terrible, and his adjustments looked poor… (granted that isn’t really any real shock since he’s a rookie and an inexperienced one at that)… what is shocking is when a 5th round pick is as good as hartline… So turner looked like he has athletic ability, now it’s a question of if he can learn how to be a pro… something T Ginn hasn’t figured out yet, even with all his god given abilities and a family stucture that makes dim overmatched OC’s fall to their knees.

I haven’t jumped the bandwagon
but the Dolphins have now become my AFC team. Ginn has always been and probably always will be a body catcher. Even that long pass vs. Jets was over the shoulder cradle catch. He has always had trouble when he has to extend his hands for a catch. Go back and look at some of his catches. They hit his belly and he cradles it.

“Ginn needs to at least get some snaps in three and four receiver sets for no other reason than forcing opposing defenses to respect the threat of the deep ball.”

The way Ginn has been dropping the ball, how serious of a deep threat do you think any defense is going to take him? Yea, they will still have someone cover him just in case. But given his reputation, they will be more or less hoping they throw his way as it would result in the loss of a down, or an easy interception.

I have been saying this since that dreadful day in April 07.Ted Ginn jr was not drafted because he was an extraordinary player who had first round talent,NO he was drafted as a favor to a longtime friend Ginn sr.Well CaMoron,look how that worked out.Not only did you manage to last ONE season in Miami,you have saddled us with a horse that can’t run the race.Ginn is slow,he has hands like captain Hook,he hears footsteps in his sleep and wets his underoos.This waste of money has to go,the sad part is we will get a 4th or 5th rounder for him and he will go to the Pats,the Colts,or the Ravens and miraculously learn to catch,grow some balls and actually be a football player,OK,OK,everything I said after 5th rounder is bullshit,I just wanted to see if your’e paying attention.I think he has had plenty of time to get with the program,now it’s time to send him on his way to anywhere but here.

he is a bum. he sucks. can anyone name a quality WR that was drafted from that state remedial college in that state south of Michigan? i can only name one, Chris Carter. top receivers always catch with their hands and not their body. this dude is a wasted pick, he should be packaged, along with a pick or two and make a effort to get a top notch receiver. the opportunity to get Braylon came and went, and the fvcking jets get him. that pissed me off. god i hate the jets. we need a #1 receiver for henne to throw to that can actually catch and help henne build some confidence and rhythm.

Ginn do this

a) Go to the eye doctor and check your eye sight ( maybe you need better vision new contact lenses)

b) Practice catching 40 yard throws with a baseball barehanded ( good for eye-hand coordination )

c) Change the gloves you are using now. Use a brighter color (like Neon Orange) this can help your friend Henne target his throws a tad better

d) Rub a little bit of pine sap onto the back of your hands. When your number is called rub a little on the palm of your hands. No guarantees, but anything better than nothing.

e) Show some emotion towards your quaterback via bodytalk or handsignals, Even if your QB was not wrong, it sends a message to you hart that dropps balls are not acceptable and that next time will be catch.

f) Hit somebody for a personal foul the first chance you get. It will make you feel that you can hit too and are ready to get hit
.
g) Remmember that 4 25 yard throw and catches is 7 point, only if you catch them, and no time in the NFL pays millions to defensive players to carry you on their shoulders to the endzone for a score, they want you not catch the ball or to fumble the ball with a good smackdown.

h) Ginn, if you ever read this, know that I will not give up on you until everything we can do to help you excel has been tried and done. I believe you have the eye of the tiger in you, just need to find the wright shockwave into your mind to release it.
Let’s start next Sunday, would you? I would love to see you celebrate a victory over the NYJ and bring home our third win.

Ginn for the 3rd slot

First off, can’t even begin to tell you how pi$$ed I was over that Saints game….I sure hope the coaching staff makes some serious personnel moves this week. Maybe they can ship Ginn off the Texas Tech so they can teach him how to catch high speed tennis balls. Ginn will never be a #1 until he fixes those hands if it’s even possible at this stage, a college career and his 3rd year in the pros…I’m still can’t believe we didn’t get L. Murphy in the last draft when he sat there for that long, maybe I’m biased being a Gator fan and all too but the guy has great hands and good speed and was Mr.Clutch, which our Gator offense is sorely missing without him and Harvin. I watched this guy make too many great catches on bad throws with his hands and is wasting away in LA with no real QB, we could trade even with him, just flash Al Davis his 40 time and says he’s got loads of potential and Al will take the deal.
