Video Time: Ted Ginn Edition

by Matty I on Feb 21, 2009 1:00 AM EST

It's Saturday - meaning it's video time. Continuing on with our look back at the '08 season, today's focus is Ted Ginn and, in particular, his week 8 performance against the Bills. This is the game that saw Ginn really break out, catching 7 passes for 175 yards.

This past week, coach Tony Sparano defended Ginn - a player fans love to criticize, saying:

"From day one I've been involved with him, he's worked hard and gotten better and better. He's really learned how to be a solid pro. [Ginn] made some of the big plays this year you want some of those first line receivers to make. He's getting better and better that way."

"Ted knows he's got room to get better right now. We make [special teams] decisions. It's not Ted's fault [he was pulled off the unit]. When you look at the big picture and see the big plays Ted did make during the course of the season, this guy had two kick returns called back. Look at the big balls he's caught, and the big games he's had. Without Ted we don't have a chance to be where we were."

Video of Ginn's week 8 performance can be found after the jump...

I like Ginn, and what he is able to do

The first play could have easily been an 80 yard touchdown if Chad put some air into that pass

Laces out!

haha

i had a better one, of a lovely lady in dolphins gear but the sites thumbnail kept cutting off her best parts. I AM NOT cool with that. A couple of days later I saw that Foy had taken it. I am sorry for disturbing you however, i thought Brady in a halter top was a pretty accurate description, but your probably right; no body on this site wants anything to do with him, and honestly i dont blame them haha

great highlights .. too bad you weren’t able to put on any of his TD runs or catches. The catch he made agaist the hawks is what I thought was the best catch of the year

i got those

we’re going game by game – so the time will come to see his TD catches.

Hopefully year 3 really is his breakout year-

I expect London to step it up a bit and put up numbers similar to Wilford in J’ville (before his hands fell off and his liquefied brain dripped out through his nose). Something like 35 catches, 450 yards, 4 TDs- nothing major but w/Bess underneath-enough of a distraction to help Teddy out.

I agree.

I’m looking for London to do the same thing. Maybe Camarillo will make a miraculous Ronnie Brown recovery and start playing in week 3 or 4.

See that ankle land on the first shot!

I like Ginn and can’t wait for him to break it. Great juke later on (’cept he might oughta hold on to the ball).

Hey

Just look at the first game against Buffalo he tore it up,hey I wasn’t for Ginn when we drafted him but over the past two years what I did see was that the talent is there it’s just when and where it will happen.

year 3=pro bowl

by phatfinfan on Feb 21, 2009 7:24 PM EST reply actions

I like him

He is going to become a great receiver and it just is going to take him some time. Pulling him off of special teams and training him as a full blown receiver will help him become better. Great speed and his hands are getting better. I expect his route running to get better next year and he will become much better.

Through the bad and the good Dolphans always support their team and know that the good is coming and that winning will come back to this loved franchise.
