WR Ted Ginn, Jr. (All B1G, All-American)

[Clarity]

Do you think he'll have to put on some weight to play corner? 170lbs isn't that big.

I'd be worried about that coming at the expense of the explosiveness he shows now. If he plays CB, it's going to have to be in the pure cover corner mold where you're not going to see him making a lot of key tackles, but he'll break up a lot of passes.

Right now, it's hard to see a greater need for TGjr on D. Youboty and Underwood, or Youboty and O'Neal, or Youboty and ? -- any way you look at it, we just may not need Ted back there. But I bet we see him come in for heavy pass protection plays now and again even if he doesn't play a greater role in the nuts and bolts defense.

Should be interesting to watch play out.

After todays showing Ginn should definately switch to corner.

I would say it depends on the development of the other corners...ala Gamble

 

[BIATCHabutuka]

i think he will remain on offense and become a situational player on defense.

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

I dont think he ever plays D at OSU, he is weapon on Offense and Special Teams, I think he stays on O.....

Fast, playmaking receivers are a dime a dozen. Shut-down corners are worth their weight in gold.

 

[NJ-Buckeye]

I would let him come off the field for halftime and end of game... otherwise... he'd stay on the field till he dropped over

Not as a primary corner. Don't want to over-work him.

All I can say is, its Ted Ginns world and we just live in it.

 

[cincibuckeyenut]

You cannot take this guy off the field for punt returns and you probably have to get him on for kick returns next year or even this year in place of Holmes.

WR and Nickel back next year maybe?

 

[NJ-Buckeye]

Don't want to over-work him.

I'd treat him like Secretariat and ride him till he died...

I wouldn't even take that for granted. He's a freshman right now, and only in his second/third game as a big part of the offense. Think about what he will be doing by his third bowl game.

By that point we will all willingly pay to live in his world. He won't even have to ask us to do so, it will just be understood.

 

[BIATCHabutuka]

i wouldn't be suprised to see him get a few snaps on D maybe these next couple of games with all the recievers at purdue and michigan. spot duty type of stuff, man coverage.

Nothing about Ginn on offense today was "dime a dozen" pedestrian. Sit him for the game, and I believe it's highly unlikely we win.
