WR Ted Ginn, Jr. (Official Thread)

We totally took a huge hit when we lost Teddy. To mimimize that is just nuts IMO. Troy has so much comfort with Teddy being out there. He draws so much attention from the DB's and Safties, that I think this had a huge impact on the play calling for the rest of the game. Gonzo is awesome and he is a great receiver in his role, but Teddy is our GO TO GUY, and him being out there opens up A LOT of opprotunities for the other WR's out there like Gonzo and Robo. I agree that JT had to have had some special plays drawn up for Teddy, like taking a snap from center, reverses and the loss of those quick outs that we have used all year to utilize his speed and make people miss was sorely missed. You know that the team and the coaches will minimize his loss to some extent because of their class and professionalism, but you know that they have to believe that his loss was devastating. God I hope he comes back next year, but with the uncertainty of the QB position for next year, I can't blame him one bit for leaving for the NFL. His draft stock may never be higher than it is right now. No matter what, we love you Teddy and it was a pleasure to watch you do the incredible things you did for the past 3 seasons. There may no be another like you come through Columbus.

No one but the coaches and the team will ever be able to fathom the importance of Teddy G to this offense, we went into straight self destruct mode without him. I believe he will be back next year and he will play both sides, Ted Senior will see to it.

My fiance's brother, who is a trainer (not for OSU), said that he has only seen one person come back from the type of foot sprain that Teddy suffered. I hope he is wrong, but Ted might be in for a rough road to recovery.

I've never heard of someone not being able to come back from a sprain of any sort. Especially considering he was able to run back onto the field without a cast at half time..

Teddy didn't notice the injury until he tried to cut on the next return...

Foot injuries can be very difficult to recover from, especially someone who relies so much on speed and cutbacks like Teddy. I broke my foot playing basketball in high school and have broken it twice since then in the same place. It still bothers me to this day when I have to run a lot on it.

I don't know anything about the condition myself, I'm just repeating what I was told by someone who is pretty knowledgeable on the subject.
If this is something that requires a major recovery it might hinder Teddy's ability to jump to the NFL this season. Teams would be skeptical to spend a high draft pick on a guy that might not fully recover.

from the looks of it the only way he couldhave a decently long time to rehab is if its a high ankle sprain. worrysome damage would be if it was a severe lower ankle sprain and there was complete tearing of the the ligaments in the ankle and trust me you dont jog back onto a field after that. it looks to be minor in my opinion and he will recover relatively quickly if you want my guess.

"I once scored four touchdowns in one game at Polk High School." :biggrin:

In case you haven't seen it, but want to; here is the link to the picture of the injury:

I'm posting the link rather than the pic for those who prefer not to see that sort of thing. Apparently Hall slipped or was tripped on his way to celebrate.

I really didn't look at it as an excuse for the game, but you have to wonder what the trickle down effect was. Did it change UF's gameplan on D? Were the other receivers comfortable with their assignments?

Anyone who saw Keith Byars play before he broke his foot knows how devastating a foot injury can be.

I saw the picture that shows Ginn having his ankle rolled up and hyper extended in an end zone celebration.


Grab ass.


I recalled my coaching days in track and how much I hated all the youthful screwing around that went on in sports. Kids, athletes especially, feel so invincible. "I can do anything and not get hurt." So you put them in a confined space with 80 other kids and the next thing you know they're running around, punching and chasing each other, out of control, and they can't stop until... THE ACCIDENT.

There I sit, a week before the league meet, with the winning combination in the sprints and hurdles. An all-but-certified, for sure, first and second in the 110s, the 300s, the 100 dash and the 4 X 100... 72 points before the meet is half over and I'm GCL coach of the year. Someone, screwing around, spooks my #1 (Craig Griffey) while he's practicing his first seven steps. He veers away, snags his trail leg on the hurdle and opens a gash all the way down to the tendon and he's done for the year.

Grab ass!


Just ask Adrian Peterson what it cost him. Shit, the game is dangerous enough, why screw around? I know, I know, kids will be kids.
