Just read an article from the Miami Hereld and at a charity event some Dolphin greats spoke out about Ted Ginn Jr.

Bob Kuechenberg: ``He's an embarrassment and a coward,'' He's got alligator arms. It's sad. I don't even know that he has the ability. I haven't seen it.'' 

OJ McDuffie: ``Every good team has a solid No. 1 receiver, and we have nobody. Just a bunch of twos and threes. Teddy can run, but how much of a football player is he? You either have it or not. Teddy is not as astute a player as I thought he would be. I've seen him go down when nobody is around.''

Jim Kiick: ``He doesn't concentrate. And his route running is not good.''

Mercury Morris: ``He needs to talk to either me or [inspirational speaker] Tony Robbins about becoming enlightened and doing the opposite of the things he thinks are right.''

Mark Duper: ``The only way you're going to get better is if you get somebody to come in and work with him,'' Duper said. ``I would do that for him. I wouldn't charge. As far as not wanting to get hit, I could [fix] that. He's got the speed I had when I came into the league. You can't teach that. What you can teach is technique and fundamentals, which he's been missing. I was fortunate enough to have Nat Moore to play with. Ted doesn't have that.''

Marino, Shula, and Duper all said that Ginn should not be benched, but stated he isn't making the plays he should and implied the only reason the Dolphins should continue to play him is because they have no other options. Wonder why?

The most important thing out of this article was that Mark Duper, arguably the greatest Dolphins receiver of all-time, said he sent Ginn an e-mail, offering tutoring, but Ginn never responded.

Maybe if Marino and Shula knew this information, they would change their minds.  Ted Ginn refuses to take it to the next level, he cant create separation 95% of the time even with his speed.  He falls down after the catch.  He runs out of bounds to avoid hits. 

He is the type of person who ignores their problems and hopes they go away on their own.  He avoids the media when he knows how bad they are going to question him on his horrible play.  He refuses to learn from the greats.  He wants to live in his college football days, thinking he was good enough then, he is good enough now.

Ted Ginn Jr., why don't you take responsibility for your play, be a man, and take some initiative to improve your play rather than going through your [soon to be short-lived] NFL career as mediocre at best.

 Last week when he caught a ball and had a choice to run upfield and take a hit for the first down, he declined and ran out of bounds one yard short, setting up a 3rd down.  I know he would have done the same if it was already 3rd or 4th down. Until he mans up...Ted Ginn, you are dead to me. YOURE OUT OF THE FAMILY! AND OUR FAMILY'S FAMILY! (your family)
