the guy is explosive.....hes been successful running reverses and ****.
why not bring him in motion instead of ricky? could be lethal....is it because ricky has better vision running between blockers? (shouldnt be the case given ginns successful kick returning past)
what is the reason?

I think because Ricky is much more likely to get consistent yards in traffic.
Sure Ginn may break a long one where Ricky wouldn't, but I'm sure the coaches (as well as I) prefer the sure yards each time.Fin-Omenal and jetssuck like this. -
Right now it's more of SmashCat goin on until their ready to open it up with more passing wrinkles. When and if they do start passing more, that's when I think you'll see more of Ginn out there. Once he starts being more of threat down field in the wildcat, it'll make it easier for him to sell a reverse.
Right now I'd say it would be easier to sell that play from the base offense than the wildcat, if you're gonna use it. -
even when we do that end-a-round flip to pennington who throws it deep to cobbs....why not ginn? just would make sense to have your most explosive player on this formation.....imoFin-Omenal likes this. -
Isn't much of a blocker. I only saw him while Pate White was taking the snaps.
I'm wondering why we don't get more touches for Cobbs. -
I agree he needs to be more involved in the 'Cat' there was all this talk of him throwing a few passes out of the formation.
Guess its a long season yet, but at 0-2 its time to pull out ALL the tricks and get a F---ng win! -
He took direct snaps in the redzone at Ohio State sometimes. He ran it between the tackles for at least one TD that I remember off the top of my head.
EDIT: found it, 2:46 in this video.

That being said, I'm not opposed to using him on that play. But until we start passing in that package, I can't see him being a better fit than RW and Cobbs.BuckeyeKing likes this. -
Because Ginn does not run the end around very well.

2008: 5 carries, 73 yards, 2 TDsJackson, SICK, BuckeyeKing and 1 other person like this. -
No wait,he does that.
He needs to start catching the ball with both hands in the ENDZONE first....
Then when he does that,he can work on getting the ball UP the field instead of OB.I feel when he stops being scared and takes that next baby step we all been waiting for,The coaching staff might sneak him into a Wildcat play or two. -
He had one long run against KC, and he fumbled the end around in the Ravens playoff game, this season he had one attempt for 3 yds or something similarly small.
That is why Ginn does not handle the ball in the WC..at least so far. -

The Wildcat probably isn't really the formation for Ginn. It's a power running formation, and it's all about getting running game mismatches. They even pulled Pennington off the field vs. the Colts, in order to do so. Ginn's blocking isn't terrible, but Patrick Cobbs is better split out wide.
The Spread Option stuff when Pat White is really going to be where Ginn gets involved, and that's not really going to happen until White starts being involved. -
I am pretty confident he has no more than 1 fumble rushing, and I am pretty sure he has never lost a fumble either.BuckeyeKing likes this. -
It would be like lining Ricky up in a division 5 college back field and then trying to say ......look how good this guy is
now show me that consistently and I might change my mind -
thats what i mean by explosive....jetssuck likes this. -
LOL at this whole post, ridiculous. -

Last year Ginn didn't run that much but he did take two to the house if I can remember, one against KC and one against Oakland.....also the one against bmore I believe was ray ray making a good play and hitting Chad P before he could fully hand it off, not sure how it went down anymore, haven't watched that game in months lol.....

Regardless of who's the QB and how you use him. I just don't see Ginn ever being the scoring threat that you need your Number 1 WR to be.
I've never said Ginn didn't have talent, well maybe hinted at it jokingly on occasion...lol....he does do some things rather well and has improved. But he's still pretty raw as a receiver.
If you take away the missed TD opportunities and just focused on how he looked trying to make those plays, his attempts just weren't very impressive.
With Ginn I think it will always be a case of him being "explosive", but just not often enough.
Would like to find someone that was more of a scoring threat, to fill the role you described -
It's stuff like this that makes the Ginn haters seem extremely ridiculous.

1-10-OAK 40 (7:04) 19-T.Ginn left end for 40 yards, TOUCHDOWN.
you can watch it at the 5:26 in this video I made. I suggest you watch the entire thing if you are forgetting what Ginn has done for Miami.
