Ginn saves his job for another day


I will be the first to admit that I wanted to get rid of Ginn, but he has saved his spot on the roster for one more week in my book. Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to run out and by a Ginn jersey and say that's he was sent down to save our team (even though he did today). I will give him his due respect for the amazing returns in a hostile environment. He showed a lot of poise to come out and play despite his current downgrade.

Maybe something good came of this. I believe that we should keep in back there returning kicks, while taking limited snaps on offense. Some players are just good returners and not good receivers. Look at Dante Hall, special teams monster, but almost invisible on the offensive end. This is not what we need or what was envisioned when Miami drafted him, but hey a square is a square and you shouldn't try to make it into a circle.

Now that he has shown that he can be explosive and an x-factor, he needs to consistent on special teams. Before breaking those 2 returns, he looked terrible. He looked tentative and was tackled TWICE by the kicker. The only tackle that a kicker should be making is one on the sideline and that should be just a dive. Ginn needs to find a hole and hit it hard and fast. The first return was good blocking, the second was his elusiveness. We need him to produce more with elusiveness and speed.

Other than that, good job Ginn. Keep it up and you might winn back some fans! (and yes I spelled winn like that on purpose).

GO FINS!!

You are right...

But they also wanted taught that he could be an explosive receiver and although they knew he wasn’t a great receiver they thought they could work on him.

In all seriousness, did anyone else watch

him run it back and think “why the hell was Cobbs ever returning kicks?” Ginn should have been back there every kickoff since he was drafted.

Dolphins and Gators baby!

He's still a good receiver

He’s the only deep threat we have. In the hype about our big win yesterday, did anyone notice that the offense was terrible. The Jets stacked the box the whole game knowing that our whole offense was incapable of going further than 10 yrds past the line of scrimmage.

Yes, he’s made way to many crucial drops this year – but he’s the best we have and the only way he’ll get better is to keep sending him out there and putting him in a position to succeed. Deep throws off the play-action and slant routes over the middle. Remember, before this season Ginn had very good hands. Sure, he still dropped some balls, but no more than the ones that EVERY receiver makes.

Pressure on our QB was the real problem. For once, Rex actually used the Blitz effectively.
