Nice story(excuses).
all we want from Ted is to catch the D@mn ball,or move on to Baltimore with the cam daddy.
GO PHINS.

[Dave K]

I did not know this about Ginn. I can feel a big year for him and our beloved Phins.

[JC CO]

Nice story Hyde. Heart matters. I'll take potential and a great heart over more talent and a sense of entitlement any day. I have a feelings Ginn will keep working and keep improving. I think he's great.

Nice attempt at a tear jerker Dave.

every time they run a Ginn story I just have to remind everyone that he is quite capable of being our go to guy... Does anyone recall the home Bills game last season? Ginn was phenomenal that day, I forget what his exact stats where, but it seemed like every drive he was catching one for 30 or 40 yards. On top of that he made several over the shoulder catches down the sideline during the season. So before you all come on here saying he cant catch dont even go there! I know Ginn has it in him and this season we will all witness him breakout...
GO PHINS!!!

I was at the game he had a career day but no touchdowns I need to see more consistency in his game this is the make or break year for him also the right QB need to be playing to get him the ball down field.

Thanks Dave. Excellent column. Digs deep and explains some things none of us knew before.

Why was he in college!!!!!!

Great story as usual, Dave. If Teddy would put on 10-15 lbs of muscle, I think we just might have a stud receiver. Good luck, Teddy... make us proud!

I believe this part of the article explained he was academically eligible to be in college.

"By the time Ginn reached Glenville High School, he was back in regular classes. He was succeeding, too. By his junior year, he carried a 3.5 grade-point average. As a senior, he had a perfect 4.0 semester. He ended up graduating in the top 10 percent of his class."

remember that flea flicker out of the wildcat where penne got the ball i believe fasano was wide open but instead he threw it to ginn who was double covered, the ball came down in the back of the end zone and ginn made a spectacular catch! i forgot what game that was, he is very big returning kick's when he get's going his speed is phenominal, it look's like everybody else is in second gear!

I was there too... What a game, it looked hopeless when we fell behind at the half. What was it, like 17 or 24 to 9 by then??? My buddies where ready to bail so I went and sat in my old sec. with some other friends. That reminded me of the Buffalo game about 4 years ago when Rosenfels completed like 17 straight(mostly to Chambers) and we won that one also... Im not saying Ginn saved us that game cause as I recall two of his bigger plays came in the first half, and that one where they ran him out around the 20 resulted in zero. Just saying though, man what a couple of games...
GO PHINS!!!

Great Story. Every one is looking for was to dismiss him as a reciever, and if he was that bad, Parcells and Co. woulda been got rid of him. Having as many QBs, Off Cords., and coaches that he had, that would throw alot of recievers off. You cant deny talent, and some folks are still waiting on a few big name recievers out there. Give him time people.....

yeah it was against seattle and it wasn't out of the cat but it was a flea flicker, ted ginn caught between 2 seattle defender's for a td, had to be the best catch of his career! he was blanketed, both defender's went up for it and out of the scrum came teddy with the ball and the td!

[JET FAN]

he's the fastest kid on the playground,only problem this is the Nfl not kindergarten where he could escape would be tacklers.

[JET FAN]

Two years and 4 tds? He's got the chambers syndrome...takes 8 years to develope. Unfortuanately they can't teach him how to be quick and break tackles like steve smith who did it in his first year. You either got it or you don't,He don't. aaaaaaaaaaaaght!

That play slipped my mind, although I do now seem to recall Ginn catching one between 2 defenders. You got me a little confused, cause the flea flicker I was thinking about was that one out of the wildcat where Pennington threw it to Cobbs and then he ran it like 80 yards to the house... Someone needs to make an hour long you tube of all our big plays last season...
GO PHINS!!!

[ocala howie]

And the Jets big play you tube would only last about a minute and a half... aaaaaaaaght buuuuurp beerfart buuuuuurp agggggggght...
GO PHINS!!!
