Ted Ginn: Common Misconception Affecting some Perceptions?



"Your going to be thrilled every time you watch him as a punt returner because hes going to be a great returner for us."  -Cam Cameron

 

Ted Ginn was drafted to be a kick returner with some big play ability on offense as well. There is no way to justify taking a kick returner/ raw receiver with a top ten pick. With that being said Being taken that high people expected him to be something he wasn't... a #1 receiver. It wasn't his fault he was chosen way before his slot or the fact that Cam Cameron took his "family" along for the ride, but at the end of the day  Ginns taking the bashing for it. Because of those preconceived notions Ginn doesn't get nearly as much credit as he is due. In his third year many like to classify him as a bust, but yet he has managed to see his way on the field through the two regimes hes been with and for the most part produced. That statement cant be said for other players classified under the same category.

Star-divide

Ted Ginn: The Returner

So Ginn was drafted primarily because of his return skills but yet by most Dolphins Fans he is considered an average  kick returner at best.

2007 Week 5  CLE:  96 yard kickoff return TD (Nullified by penalty, D.Hagan)

2007 Week 10 BUF: 86 yard kickoff return TD (Nullified by penalty, G.Camarillo)

2007 Week 10 PHI: 87 yard punt return TD

2008 Week 10 SEA: 100 yard kickoff return TD (Nullified by penalty, C.Anderson)

2009 Week 8 NYJ: 100 kickoff return yard TD

2009 Week 8 NYJ: 101 kickoff return yard TD

1 or 2 penalties is understandable but 3 you know you have some bad luck. If none of those penalties occured Ginn wouldve had 5 Kick return touchdowns to his name just 3 shy from the record set by Joshua Cribbs(8) and considering how in 08' Patrick Cobbs and Davone Bess had a majority of the return load thats pretty impressive not average.

 

Ted Ginn: The Deep Threat

There is also alot of misconception about Ginn the receiver more specifically the deep threat. If you haven't heard or found out already Ginn is NOT a #1 receiver, but that in now way means he cant be a playmaker in this offense. in 07' some people forget we went 1-15 when evaluating Ginns rookie year. The offense was a circus and the quarterback position was a carausel. In 08' brought stability but not until after a rough start. After Ginn broke out in week 8 against the bills he was consistently making plays each week after. Another thing people dont understand is that as well as Pennington has played with Ginn his potential wouldnt be reached until he had someone to hit him in stride.

With Pennington

2008 Week 8 BUF: 1st play from scrimmage was a pass deep right for 46 yards. That 46 couldve easily been 80 for the fact that Ginn had to wait on the ball which gave time for McGhee to close on him.

2008 Week 10 SEA:  Pennington, flea flicker deep middle 39 yards Ginn split both corner and safety over the top. This play was important because it showed the chemistry that Pennington and Ginn had gained. Camarillo was wide open but Pennington insisted on throwing to Ginn who was double covered.

2008 week 12 NE: Pennington, pass deep left to Ginn who had  corner Ellis Hobbs beat but waited for the ball to 46 yard completion.

2008 Week 17 NYJ: Pennington, flea flicker deep middle 44 yards Ginn had split the double coverage and on a under thrown ball came back to make the catch.

With Henne

Week 5 NYJ: C.Henne deep middle 53 yards TD on Darrelle Revis. That was the only touchdown Revis had allowed  all year.

Week 16 HOU: C.Henne, pass deep middle 62 yard TD (Nullified by penalty, Lousaka Polite)

Henne has a lot of arm and Ginn has a lot of speed, with a whole offseason together Henne and Ginn should gain chemistry the same way he did with Pennington. So the argument that Ginns potential wont be tapped until Henne is in at Q holds some weight.

Trying to convince people that Ginn is a decent player is like trying to argue in favor of George W. Bush No one wants to hear it.

I agree with you though. I like him as a player, I was dissappointed to see him lose confidence like he did. I’ll give you a rec in the spirit of Dub-Ya.

I agree....

Bashing the guy is definintely not gonna boost his confidence by any means. I just looked up some of the mock drafts from the 07 class and he was rated by some as the 2nd best WR and by most others he was rated as the 3rd best WR. I still feel the guy will produce when he is lined up opposite an elite WR. He may not be a true #1 WR but I feel he can still be a great #2. Hopefully Sporano and company will allow Henne some more freedom to make some big plays. There were too many times last year that Ginn had both the corner and safety beat and Henne would drop the ball off to an underneath reciever.

by usualsuspect609 on Mar 17, 2010 1:28 AM EDT reply actions  

You can't justify him not being a bust by highlighting a few good games.

Here’s some stats for you:

Ted Ginn: The Returner

2007: Led NFL in number of kick returns, for 0 TDs and 29th in AVG. 6th in PR AVG, 1 TD.
2008: 37th in KR AVG and 0 TDs, taken off PR duties (7 RET for 54 YDS, 7.7 AVG in spot duty)
2009: 13th in KR AVG and 2 TDs, taken off PR duties again (5 RET for 28 YDS, 5.6 AVG in spot duty)

Sure you can argue about the two TDs he had called back, but how do you justify such a horrible return average? When you get benched in favor of two players who are much, much slower than you are…….you know you have issues as a returner.

As for Ted Ginn the receiver, while he may benefit from having a true #1 opposite him, he still has too many glaring issues regarding physicality, hands, and mental toughness.

yup

I’m not going here again. Everyone knows we need number one wr. Everyone knows we got a handful of #2 WRs and not one of them is Ted Ginn. Everyone was knows that Ginn being the 9th pick in the draft is a bust.

Nobody's arguing that he is a #1 receiver..

My argument on the guy is that even if he’s solely a KR, he’s worth the roster spot at this point in time. He is a threat to take it to the house on every return.

I’m sure if they got a big-bodied, potential number one guy, they’d let him focus solely on special teams play and would be fine. The guy seems to be all about confidence. He doesn’t have what it takes to be a number one receiver, so why kill his confidence by making him out to be something he never will be?

Doesn’t mean he doesn’t have value, and I’m sick of the “bust” argument.

Did you even read the post? Thats was the whole point

He did lead the NFL with number of kick returns with nothing to show f or it.Ginn returned 2 TDs in 07’ that got nullified so you bringing up that average is irrelevant..if his returns counted his average would clearly be higher

in 08 Ginn didnt even return kicks full time so you bringing up that average is also irrelevant , and ginn wasnt benched in favor of two player that were slower than him the coaching staff took him off return duties so that he can focus on being a wr and you still claim he has issues as a returner?

And he finished 09’ 13th considering patrick cobbs held the duties before he tor his acl

Are you sure about that?

Let’s count those two returns and see what happens……
Wow, he moved up to 15th. Still pretty disappointing if you ask me.
In ‘08 he had 32 KRs. Which was the most by any Dolphin, so if he wasn’t doing it full time, who was?
As for 09’, yes, he did finish 13th. Which is still not what you’d expect from somebody everyone says has the potential to take it all the way everytime.

How can you justify such a horrible return average....

Have you watched any dolphins games? Our blockers are so horrible I dont blame Ginn for going down easy and running out of bounds. How can you get production out of a return man if you dont have productive blockers? Ginn always has 2 guys running free right at him; should he take the hit and fumble the ball?

by usualsuspect609 on Mar 17, 2010 9:29 PM EDT up reply actions   1 recs

I've watched every game the past three years.

He has no vision when it comes to the return game, nor is he willing to try and fight through tacklers to get a few extra yards or possibly break a tackle. Good returners don’t need great blocking, they find the seams and make people miss. Ted Ginn is not one of those people.

I used to think I had a drinking problem.
So I stopped thinking.

by luvs2drnk on Mar 18, 2010 12:33 AM EDT up reply actions  

um listen

you are not supposed to make 5 people miss at your own 10-15 yard line… ginn runs by them and out so he doesnt get layed out by a crowd of people our blockers have missed.
give him a solid seem and he’ll burst right through it. and nobody other than you expects a skinny kr to fight through tacklers. maybe if your a pure returner than fine but if your being counted on to stay on the field and be the number one guy on offense as well then no.

Ted Ginn can't make one or two people miss, let alone 5.

He runs by them and out, because he’s afraid of contact. I’ve watched enough games to know it’s not all the blockers fault. I’ll give you 50%, but that other half is all Ginn.

For a fair comparison..where do our other returners rank?

Same blockers and only difference is the returner so that should tell us if it’s the returner or the blockers shouldn’t it?

by firedanhenningnow on Mar 18, 2010 1:01 AM EDT up reply actions  

Here's the stats (and keep in mind these guys aren't half as fast as Ginn)

Cobbs: 2009 – 16 returns for 22.6
              2008 – 8 returns for 23.6
Bess: 2008 – 14 returns for 22.2

So the much slower Cobbs and Bess both had better return averages than Ginn did in 2008. Yes, they had less returns, but together they had only 10 less returns for 3 more yards per return.

I used to think I had a drinking problem.
So I stopped thinking.

by luvs2drnk on Mar 18, 2010 1:40 AM EDT up reply actions  

SI has Ginn listed as 24.9 and "quickness" means much more than being fast

in any situation concerning creating space whether it be off the LOS,breaking off a route or changing direction on a dime on returns.

All the top tier returners possess quickness and need it to make the first guy miss but in our case it would be to make the first 5 guys miss IMO and since Cobbs and Bess are much quicker than Ginn but didn’t have a better average then they or the ST unit really sucks.

by firedanhenningnow on Mar 18, 2010 3:28 AM EDT up reply actions  

It's not Cobbs and Bess' quickness that accounts for their better AVG.

It’s the fact they don’t go down from the first contact, and don’t run out of bounds to avoid that first contact either. Ginn is faster and quicker than both of them, but it’s his inability to take contact that causes him to miss holes. Ultimately resulting in a lower AVG in the long run.

I used to think I had a drinking problem.

But you can't remove where he was drafted from the equation.

You paid for a mercedes and got a yugo. He is a bust based on where he was drafted and how much he is paid. Is Heyward-Bey a bust in Oakland? Was Mike Williams a bust in Detroit? How about David Terrell for the Bears? Looking back, which is easy to do, did either of those guys deserve to get drafted where they did? Ted Ginn is the same guy.

Plus, he isn’t productive. He ranked 94th in the league in receiving yards. With him returning kicks, the Phins ranked 12th in the league.

Ginn wasn't projected as a mid round pick, he was projected in the early to mid teens

And the only reason he was that low was because of his injury that he sustained in the championship game. Let’s assume Ginn was taken 10 picks too early and was chosen at #19. Does that change anything in our perception of his play to this point? I don’t think so. He is still a first round bust.

To be honest, I usually don't agree with you

But here I couldn’t agree more. I think Ginn is a specialty player much like Reggie Bush is, and if he’s used properly he can be a game-breaker (see: Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets, Week 8 2009).

Maybe if we had some more creativity in our offense, we’d stop asking him to be the #1 and we would play to his specialties, which is speed. A speed guy is supposed to stretch the field, yet I still see him running things like hooks too often. If used the right way I think he could be a pretty good receiver, maybe 60+ catches and 800+ yards.

He has a relative cheap price tag. Ginn is a great Kick Returner and yes he can run past anyones secondary(He Just Can’t Catch the Ball). He also comes with a relatively cheap price tag. Until someone else comes along to replace these guys we keep them. Dare I say we once had a guy fastter then T. Ginn. His name was Mark Duper and he did not drop anything.

You show me clip of that Sharper pick 6?.....

Like shown in Sports Illustrated the following week, who came back from 50 yards downfield to jar the ball loose from Sharpers hand at the 3 yard line, fumbling it into the endzone and out of bounds? This proves you people root against the guy because everyone know that Sharper pick was bullshit.

Ginn takes a lot of shit....

but he had 2 decent years given what he had to work with and then had a big game vs. IND (11 recs 108 yards), but dropped 2 passes in the end zone and got the shoulder the blame for us losing the game, which is unfair IMO.

he needs to get the monkey off his back.

Fasano also dropped the game winning TD in the IND game. He also lost 2 fumbles in the first couple of games and played half the season with what looked like 2 left hands. People seem to hate on Ginn because it seems like the cool thing to do. What other teams fans root aginst their players?

I agree. Being disappointed in a players overall production is not the same as rooting against a guy.

I do not think any fan is going to root against him as long as he is still a Dolphin. I for one have been down on him like many others but I hope to God that he finds what ever it is that will make him a dependable receiver.

30 yards or more

There are at least 3 throws on that video that show 30 plus yard drops. Suspects ask for it I gave it. I’ve been a fan for 30 plus years and I want T. Ginn to do well. An I always have. But if your looking for someone to be PC and Fluff this guy. Come on. T. Ginn is a great KR in my opinion. If you think I’m going to drop a Franklin on weather or not he catches the game winner. Not going to happen. By the way I believe RZ posted that video in one of his posts a while back.

Lets be honest here....

Do you really think that all the negative feedback he recieves from Fin fans is helping his cause? What about Davone Bess? I think he looked horrible at the begining of the season. I think he fumbled twice in the same game. I understand that he came back and was producing like he was the year before but nobody hated on him at any point. My point is, even when Ginn is productive, people dont seem to realize or aknowledge that he can be a playmaker. Everyone just wants to dwell on the bad things he does. Same with Ricky Williams fumbling, what 3 or 4 times in 2 games, yet you dont here anyone talking about it.

I agree with the argument that seeing a lot of negative press is

not going to boost the guys confidence. The question is are we rooting for failure. This would basically be a fan saying “please drop it” every-time the ball is thrown to him or “please fumble”. That assertion is ridiculous.

Even the biggest Ginn hater on here would like to see him turn it around. Face it if your a fan you want all the players on your team to play well despite any previous history.

If he turned it around then there would be no more issues.

Sure I guess you could find a stray person here or there that may root against him but its still the exception not the rule. I would also argue that those few and far between are not true fans so who really gives a damn? I have not made those post but certainly joined in. Like most I don’t want to see him fail. There is always the one or two guys in the group that are out there but for the most part I don’t buy it. We all want the best for out team and thats to see out players play to the best of their abilities.

If people really want the best for our team...

Let them praise the guy when he deserves it and not harp on every little thing he does wrong. IMO, the negative feedback he reads only puts more pressure on the guy, and not in a good way. Do you think the other dolphin players come in the locker room and say “Hey Ginn you really sucked out there, I cant believe you cant catch the ball”. Two words: positive reinforcement.

are either new to this site or do not pay attention. I have, as many have, praised him when he has done well. I would not just throw around generalizations about the people on this site. There are over 3000 members so the opinions are all over the place on just about any subject including Ginn. I am sure that if he finds whatever it is that he needs to find that the pro Ginn post/comments will far outweigh the negative.

I agree there is no way that there are more

I guess there are those that hope he makes the one mistake that is so bad that hes cut on the spot but 99.9% of fans are praying that he goes out and contributes that week. Sure when he screws up then the venom comes out but thats human nature. We as fans invest a lot of time, emotion and in most cases a lot of money in out team. In one way we are the ones that drive this money shit called the NFL. We are ultimately the ones that pay these guys and I think we have a right to vent when we are frustrated with a guy. Once again I do not see this as rooting for a guy to just flat out fail.

by usualsuspect609 on Mar 17, 2010 11:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

no

but thats not the point. the point is he was drafted that high and disappointed.
thats why hes ridiculed. not saying its fair to ginn but youve been asking why and thats the reason.

Why do they have to point out every miniscule thing that he does wrong? Like I said, when Fasano, Bess and Ricky were coughing up the ball left and right, I dont recall seeing a post on this site saying these guys suck or need to be cut/traded.

o my bad thats what i thought that ^ was asking

but yes theres extreme hating on ginn but theres even more for gibril wilson because of his contract. big expectations that lead to big failures always results in hate. thats just the way it is… some 2pac for you lol

I dont hate on Gibril much either...

Look at our position now; we have no starting FS for the upcoming year. I also think he should have had a chance to play under Nolan’s schemes. FS’s are not supposed to have as many tackles as Wilson did; this was due to our lack of rushing the QB. My point with what I said above is that Ginn gets hate all the time but I dont see the love when he does something good. And what Gibril thought when that tipped ball went right through his hands: it was all a dream- some Biggie Smalls for you.

I agree on the lack of pass rush.

Improve that pass rush and that secondary will look ten times better.

Without a doubt....

We cant put the outcome of a game in the hands of our second year corners; we need the defense to play as one unit instead of individual pieces. Hopefully our offseason accqusitions and the draft will really improve our defense.

idk a lot of people gave ginn

credit for single handedly winning the jets game. before this year many had ginn in their top 5 fav players on the team. he just really let down a lot of people this year.

and as for the lack of a pass rush… at times yes it was true BUT the dolphins were tied 3rd in the league for most sacks (44).

How did I know you were gonna say that...

Yeah I know its true but when we didnt get the sack, there was absolutely no pressure in the face of opposing QBs.I would rather give up that 3rd position in sacks to have constant pressure on the other teams QB. Getting pressure is what causes QBs to make that mistake and throw the ball early,allowing our secondary to shine. Many times last year we put the game in the hands of our young CBs and new FS.

by usualsuspect609 on Mar 18, 2010 12:00 AM EDT up reply actions  

I have to agree. Too many times when

the game was on the line we were getting zero pressure on the QB. This can not be if you want to be successful. Sacks are great but consistent pressure is what will win you games defensively. We scored plenty of points in several of our losses but could not stop the other team from just marching right back down the field when it counted.

Hes definetly a SS as opposed to a FS and thats why he had a lot of trouble. I cant say he was good but like I said, I feel he deserved another shot under Nolan.

I think Ginn gets more flack than he deserves

Because he’s come to symbolize Cam Cameron and 1-15. He was booed at the Dolphin draft party when he was picked and he hadn’t even left Ohio at that point. Going 1-15 just made it worse.

He was booed mostly because he wasn’t Brady Quinn. So far Ginn has had a better career than Quinn who has peope woindering if he’ll ever be productive.

Dwayne Bowe (KC), Craig Davis (SD), Anthony Gonzalez (Indy) were the other wideouts taken in the first round. Davis is where? and the other two aren’t really light years ahead of TG. Sidney Rice was taken in round 2 but didn’t do anything until Favre showed up.

I guess if we’re going to be upset it should be that Darrelle Revis and Patrick Willis were taken after TG….but we weren’t looking defence and you can play that game with any draft.

If was a bad draft …the best pick was a punter! but Ginn, believe it of not was one of the bright spots.

Of the 10 picks that year only three are still with the team: Ginn, Soliai and Fields.

You can put a lot of that down to Sporano cleaning house and getting rid of players who didn’t fit the new Dolphin mold…guess what? Ginn, at least so far, fits the mold…..I don’t believe Tony Sporano even knows what the term “soft spot” means….ergo he must see something in Ted Ginn…
Be nice to see that faith be rewarded.

If you watch it you can clearly see the Hagan penalty,

he is holding 1 of the last guys Ginn gets by and the guy even got a hand on Ginn, if he wasn’t being held he stops Ginn there.

In the Camarillo return you can’t see Cam when he is penalized but he is right behind the play and if he held or clipped he was certainly in a position to influence the play.

In the Anderson return he was one of the wedge blockers, nuff said.

Do you think Cribbs has never had 1 called back, lol, its part of the game.

Cribbs has had at least 1 called back,
Cribbs had another returned for 94 yards for another score but was called back on a holding penalty by Lennie Friedman.

Cam may or may not have had an impact on that play but the possibility is certainly there.

Anderson is in front of Ginn so he definitely is in a position to change the outcome of that play, at 5.28 in the vid you can see him turn back to look, probably to see if he was being called for the penalty.

I think your grasping at straws on those plays.

I like you dog but come on with this shit. Ginn is afraid of contact and still drops balls! We should get some value out of this guy and quit taking reps from Hartline and Bess. Maybe ted could flourish in another system but I don’t think it’s ours. I was just thinking today of how we should trade down and get Marshall and be legit he reminds me of Moss when he finally shut up and played for the cheatriots we will regret not getting him as he continues to be one of the best. Hartline Bess and Marshall with Camarillo! Please that is REAL right away. Package Ginn for a pick trade down and get B Marshall. I know it won’t happen but watch Marshall continue to Dominate.

i feel you.. i guess im just being patient but in todays NFL people want to see production immediately

and ginn doesnt help his cause with his drops and what not so i see how you would feel that way.

And as for Brandon Marshall we might as well give up already cuz it wont happen are free agency is pretty over and we wont fill any more needs through it which is why the draft gon be real important.

IMO if someone is shortsighted enough to label him a bust

because of where he was chosen,doesn’t berate other players who cost drives and/or games,talks about how he even sucks in the return game w/o considering how ALL our other returners do etc.etc. then they have to root against him in hopes they dont look like morons when he does do well.

I can’t wait for the upcoming season because with Henne getting even better plus time to gel with our present WR Corp,more time to go through his progressions due to a better performing OL,Hartline and Bess only getting better and Cammy just being Cammy Defenses are going to pay for doubling Ginn and when they don’t, because they are getting killed by someone else, they are really going to pay.

Ginn

Ginn is a decent player, however Randy Mueller should be shot. Ginn can be a big part of an explosive offense but Henne must mature and a true #1 receiver must emerge or be acquired. All that said, our receiving core is fine, we have a lot of guys that excel at different ares, Bess is the poor man’s wes welker, Ginn is an explosive playmaker, Turner could develop into a red zone threat and Camarillo and hartline can catch anything, But you don’t have to double team any of them. Thats why we desperately need a true #1 receiver.

So you really think Ginn is that much better then Bess?

Did we both watch the same season? I’m pretty sure that Bess has been the most consistent compared to Ginn.

that Bess tends to fumble the ball a little more then he should

or that Ginn doesn’t even come close to catching the ball half the time? I’m one of those Ginn haters, to me he is no good till he learns to not run out of bounds and maybe catch a lil better.

I wanna throw something at the TV every time I see him drop the ball or run out of bounds

thank God I have the sense not to actually throw something at my TV. But you get the drift.

the guy is a bust...

look, the guy is a bust BECAUSE he was picked 9th over all…he is getting bashed BECAUSE he is making a RIDICULOUS amount of money for being at best a #3 WR..i say the Dolphins should cut their losses & admit when the last regime made a mistake, just as they admitted they made a mistake when they cut sorry ass Gibril Wilson (Jeremey Shockey, need i say more?!)..so yea, stop trying to defend the guy..he is a sorry ass WR who cant catch a god damn cold..GO DOLPHINS!!!!!!

i said before last year started that i wouldn't comment on ginn until the season was over

i failed to do that. this year, i will only comment about ginn on game day threads . after this season is over, we’ll see what we have. there will be no more excuses about new qbs or needing a few years to develop. this will be his second year with henne and fourth in the league. i hope he gets it together, but i’m not counting on it. until game day threads and the end of the season, i will not speak good or bad about mr. ginn. nobody is going to change anyone else’s mind about him, so it’s just an endless cycle. this season should be his last chance. good day

2010-2011 Ginn breaks out!!

This young man will produce this upcoming season and silence the critics at least for a little while. They always will have something to complain about!!!!

by labrat3105 on Mar 22, 2010 11:37 AM EDT reply actions  

Haha I just remembered something

I forget which game it was, but in one game this year Ginn already had like two drops or something and I’m like “man, could his hands be any worse?” A couple drives later, we run a WR-reverse to Ginn and he drops the hand-off lol.

That being said, I’m still supportive of him.

It's 2010 - do the smart thing. Draft Myron Rolle.

see I can't forgive that easily for a "pro", I'll give him this next season to prove himself.
