Around SBN: SB Nation NFL Power Rankings for Week 11

Ted Ginn Jr

Ok ok... are we beating this one to death yet? Sorry for adding to it, but the Sun Sentinel adds a very good blurb from Dan Marino about Teddy.  Marino talks about Teddy

Basically with Ginn's speed, whether he can catch the ball or not, he needs to be out there more than 22 snaps a game (which he was against the Jets).  The Jets stacked the box, 8 sometime 9 players to stop the run, making the Fins have to pass against them, knowing they couldn't.  What Ginn does, he demands coverage over the top, or he will just fly by the defense. 

If I am the Defensive Coach, I don't care if he catches the ball 1 out of 3 times, I am bumping coverage to him so I don't look like an idiot when he catches it that 1 time.  Doing this takes one more man out of the box, and limites the frequency of the blitz.  Of course you can say putting him on the field takes away from another more sure hander WR to get open and catch a ball where Ginn might drop it...

Yes thats a valid arguement, but the team is trying to be an offense based on the Run, and I think this options gives you the best bet to run the ball!  I agree that Ginn is not a true number one and deserved to see limited action this past week, but going forward, even if he is not being thrown too I think he helps open up the run.

my thoughts exactly

He’s still the best receiver we have. I posted earlier today that our entire offense is within 10 rds of the line of scrimmage when he’s not in there. That deep pass to Hartline that Henne overthrew….Ginn runs under that. The only question is whether he catches it….
