    And it sets up an actual handoff on the reverse on a return sometime this season.

    I loved how Sparano turned up the aggressiveness against the Bills, those two plays, going for it on 4th and 1, to me that is when the Dolphins play the best under Sparano.


    Or at least cost him 10 more yards on that run.


    After watching the man play for 3 yrs now, Ginn's game is the ball in his hands at full speed, it is not that he has the dropitz, he just looks more comfortable when he is up to speed with the ball in his hands.

    And I know people are happy with Henne's play Sunday, but to me when we face the Jets we pretty much will have to pull out all of the playbook to score on them, Ginn could be a big part of those plays.

    And finally, to me they have made a decision about Ted Ginn, he is not a "#1 Wr" that is why they were using him on all that other stuff and more than likely will continue to use him in that role.

    Really, head to head, Bess is of more value to us as a Wr then Ted Ginn is, I sort of expect to see more of B Hartline in Ginn's role as a Wr.

    he didn't cut inside looking for contact, he cut inside because one of the Bills DB's was in front of him. Horrible read on his part.

    it could be. and it could have helped. sure. but i dont think ginn should get the credit for setting up two scoring drives.....the coaches called the play anyways.

    i just dont see how anyone could say ginn had a great game yesterday

    He is not our #1 Wr anymore imho bbq, that is why he was being used all over the place on Sunday as there was no need to rest him to play Wr.

    And Hartline on the reverse was to compare his on the field speed to Ted Ginn's, to me they are looking at Hartline as being the new #1 Wr.

    As OmarK has also written, P Turner is getting more reps in practice, if he shows anything he will get a shot as well, to me Turner has the talent to be a #1 type Wr, at least on paper he does.

    i wouldn't say its great. can't deny that even when he seems to disappear he seems to have somewhat of an impact. and I would give him credit for cobbs returns. I saw them biting on it pretty well.

    so cobbs ran the ball. other guys blocked. the coaches called the play. and ginn gets credit? ok.

    and IMO he had no impact on the game.....we win by a big margin with or without his decoy abilities, and 4 yard reception, and 22 yard run.......

    and imo the play itself got them to bite, not the player.....put rick, ronnie, hartline or bess in ginns spot for that fake reverse and they bite on it as well....

    The reason why I called it a great game is because Ginn's game is not the type that really pops out on the Stat sheets, there is no stat for decoying on kick offs, or making sure the Safety has to help the Cb over the top

    Good stuff......I agree

    I think from now on we have no number one WR and that Ginn will resume his ST role and just be part of the WR "group" we have.....mostly to get Hartline more snaps. It looks as tho he and Henne have a connection going.

    It could have helped... I mean, the 2-3 guys that hesitated when the fake handoff occured and the 1-2 guys that actually started to chase him MAY have helped Cobbs gain an extra 10-15 yards when returning.

    I don't think Ginn had a great game (or good game, for that matter), but the only reason why Cobbs got beyond the 20 yard line on his kick returns was those fake hand offs to Ginn.

    i agree the PLAY caused that.......like i said earlier.....put bess, hartline, ricky, ronnie or camarillo in ginns same spot faking the hand off for reverse and guys will bite a little bit....its natural reaction.

    but i agree he didnt have a great game.

    :yes:

    Yep, I know Sparano said something about Ginn's play count being to high, to me that is absolute nonsense..sort of...Sparano may have meant "Ginn's play count was too high (for the production he has been giving us at Wr)"

    Our ST is rock bottom in most return categories, Cobbs is doing "okay" but a long return of 25yds is just not good enough, in fact it is sort of bad really.

    And I think there is a small chance that putting Ginn back on returns may light a fire under his backside.

    The bold part makes no sense. one of the bills DBs was in front of him. That implies you choose another path.

    He gets 22 yards and people are complaining. That is so rich. That is like complaining Ronnie sucks, because he had nothing but green in front of him, and yet he still got caught from behind (which is true).

    I have this right in front of me. He has the DB in front of him, just like you say. If he tries to go outside and that DB forces him wide to the outside, I guarantee you the complaint was that he didnt' head inside to follow his blocker because he's a sissy.

    And that is like saying anyone could have caught Hartline's TD...the fact is none of those players play on ST's on kickoffs, just Ginn, no need to bend that far out to not give Ginn any credit Sick...:lol:


    He directly contributed to picking up 40 yds or more in "lost" yardage, Cobbs has averaged a steady 21.3 on kick off returns, Sunday he got the ball out to the 40yd line because of the faked end arounds to Ginn.

    And his one punt return was as long as Bess's longest punt return of the season, 7 yds per return is crappy Sick.

    so hartline catching a td, scoring, and actually having a first-hand impact on the game is being compared to someone getting a hand off faked to them? seriously..........wow



    fine. but this isnt a "bess had a great game" thread...if it was, id disagree with that also

    That is how it works for Ted Ginn...and I am more than willing to grant he runs out of bounds too often and takes dives, on that end around though he did the right thing...for that play.

    Seriously look at Cobb's return numbers before the fakes to Ginn.



    Ginn's punt return was merely one more thing he did better than the player who was doing that job, and that is a part of the reason why Ginn had a great game even with 1 catch for 4 yds.

    like i said, the play caused it....not the player. it was a good play call by the coaches.




    insane reach to say he had a "great" game padre. sorry. not close. he wasnt directly responsible for us scoring any points, or doing anything to lead to points. he made no impact. we win without ginn even suiting up yesterday.

    no way he had a great game. bess didnt either. or camarillo. or fasano. but this is a thread specifically for ginn. so thats what iam discussing.

    I'd put that Hartline TD on coaching more than on Hartline. You know the Bills were expecting run at that point, anyone could have made that catch...

    Ginn showed up.....he did some things for us. He wasn't Ted Ginnvisible yesterday.

    I'm glad to see him back on ST's...

    think its a good thread padre, i'd like to see more from ginn but he had a positive impact yesterday. if he can't get something comfortable with henne then he'll be gone after this season, i think they will learn each others tendencies/strengths/weaknesses and by week 10 or 12 this argument is moot cause they're lighting it up, i'm an optimist yo.

    look iam hoping ginn lights the world on fire with henne the rest of the year......i really do.

    but to say he had a great game yesterday is laughable. the dude has 140 some yards, no tds and 5 drops in 4 games. gimme a break. how can anyone defend that!?!?

    Yeah, I wouldn't go that far...

    In the last two games, Ginn has dropped more passes than he has caught....and we ALL know what happened last time it was thrown to him in the endzone :up:

    Ginn will not be gone after this season, no way.

    He signed a 5 year contract in 2007, the earliest he's gone is after the 2010 season, IMO.

    I think it is more that people have such "hope" for Ted Ginn that anything but 11 catches, 180 yds and 3 Td's is just not going to be acceptable.

    Used to see it all the time with Jason Allen.


    Exactly, I'm not saying Ted Ginn is just a Gunner, I am saying his all around game is excellent, and shows up when he allowed to operate in space, that is where his speed really shines.


    Yep, I set the bar at 2,000 total yards for Ted Ginn if he is back on kick returns, but 4 games into the season that is a high bar, but he can reach it imho.

    Those are Leon Washington numbers.

    and a fake hand off that resulted in 9 more yards than the average should be compared to a caught touchdown pass?!!?!??! comon mat

    I'm just saying, Ginn has plenty of drops already. To say it was coaching and Ginn wouldve made the same play isn't accurate at all.

    I really don't think he will Sick, to me Ginn is a poor man's Joey Galloway, and Henne will be coached to get the ball out more quickly so the deeper routes that would be Ginn's forte will be few and far between.

    To be honest about it, Ginn on returns is the only way to recoup some yards from him.


    That is for the season, I'm speaking of the game on Sunday, that is Ted Ginn's game, he should have more like 5 catches, but still, his all around game is pretty good and his Sunday game was his best by far this season.
