WR Ted Ginn, Jr. (Official Thread)

Ginn in TC

"Ginn was lined up at the flanker, and ran a post route. Beck threw the pass pretty high, but Ginn had a one handed tip grab to get the TD. It got the fans all excited and cheering." Sounds like Ginn doing good in TC. Im just waiting to hear about him burning the special teams on a punt return.

Ginn has been nearly uncoverable on the plays he's on the field thus far. Give him some time to learn some "pro strategies" and he'll be the man before long.

I think its a perfect fit for Ginn, he gets to play in the Warmth of Miami, Who knows he might even be more electric down there now that he's a part of that "southern speed" region. I cant wait to see him light it up down there. One of my favorite Buckeyes ever.

Lol Ginn doesn't need "southern speed", he has something better...."World Class Speed"...

 

[Taosman]

There are a lot of bitter UM fans down there who will never accept Ginn.
They will be more critical of every play/non-play he makes.

Maybe Ted Ginn doesn't run the most precise routes or needs to improve his ability to evade the CB jam at the line ... who knows. But he is a smooth, sure-handed receiver who's going to contribute as more than a returner.

It is not an apocalypse, but wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. looked a little tired today at Miami Dolphins training camp. He was often on one knee and looked like he was struggling to adjust to the heat in Davie. It is his first day in camp and he is not used to the heat so much shouldn't be made of it for now.

The Dolphins ran 7-on-7s today and the results were mixed. The aforementioned Ginn connected with Trent Green for a very nice catch down the sidelines, quarterback John Beck also found Ginn for a nice reception

I think that normal though. I mean, afterall he is coming off an injury. He'll be back in shape b4 the season starts.

Ginn could be Dolphins' X-factor

DAVIE Two fans sat in the bleachers, gripping their rosters, scanning the fields, not all that long after dawn on this brand new Dolphins day.

"Where's Ted Ginn?" one fan wondered.

The fan's friend pointed at No. 19, wearing a towel from his waist.

Yes, for a change, a first-round pick actually was in training camp at its commencement.

Call that the season's first small victory.

Fans wore a smile while applauding Ginn's one-handed catch over his head in the morning session. And while he appeared worn out by heat in the afternoon, frequently grabbing a seat on his helmet, at least he has time to adjust. Ginn's attendance signified the clearing of the last significant controversy of an odd offseason, one that included Joey Porter's Vegas scuffle, Chris Chambers' Carolina arrest, Fred Evans' cab nap, Daunte Culpepper's Gandhi-like struggle and H. Wayne Huizenga's ultimatum.

Controversies gone. All systems go.

Ginn tries to catch his breath

DAVIE First-round draft pick Ted Ginn, who missed all of the Dolphins' rookie camp while his contract was being finalized, spent a good portion of Saturday afternoon on one knee as he had trouble finishing his second practice of the day.

Ginn, struggling with the heat and humidity, repeatedly took his helmet off in the afternoon session. He never left the field and did participate in some post-practice drills geared for receivers.

Ginn wasn't the only player who appeared to struggle with the heat during the first full-squad practice. Rookie offensive guard Steven Parker left the field during the morning session to receive intravenous fluids but returned in the afternoon

Ginn turns 'boos' to 'oohs'

DAVIE — It didn't take Ted Ginn Jr. long to show everyone what they came to see.

The same fan base that booed Ginn's selection with the No. 9 pick in April, cheered Ginn early during his first training camp with the Dolphins.
Ginn finalized a five-year contract with Miami on Friday. The next morning, he made a twisting, one-handed stab of an overthrown pass and barely broke stride on the highlight play of the first of two practices Saturday.

The electrifying catch woke up a subdued crowd of 900 people suffering through an uneventful practice in 90-degree heat.

"I'm just trying to make plays," he said. "It's nothing I brag on.

"It's something that just happened on the spur of the moment."

Ginn, generally considered the fastest player in April's draft, hopes to keep Dolphins fans guessing what he'll do next.

"I just have to show myself," he said, "and every time I do something, it might wake the crowd up."

Ginn's instant impact didn't surprise the people who've seen him up close.

"The guy has the ability," 10-year veteran receiver Marty Booker said. "That's how you get picked up in the first round."

The Dolphins' much-scrutinized selection of Ginn made Saturday a big day for the 22-year-old NCAA record-setter from Ohio State. A bit undersized at 5-feet-11, 178 pounds and with only three seasons of experience at wide receiver, Ginn hasn't had many chances to silence his critics since the draft.

He sat out the May mini-camp to rehabilitate a foot injury, participated in June's mini-camp at less than 100-percent and didn't practice with the rookies last week while his contract was being finalized.

Ginn said he's 100 percent healthy now. He can't predict what he'll do next, except one thing.

"I can do nothing but get better," he said.

One more 6-6 season and their won't be any more UM "fans". They all will have burned their gear, and bought retro Gator gear, to prove how long they've been loyal to that program.

5 Things to Watch - Ted Ginn as WR

Trent Green, Oklahoma Drill, Secondary, Vernon Carey, and Ted Ginn - the receiver

Dolphins training camp: Five things to watch

By JEFF DARLINGTON

[email protected]


Below are five things to watch during Dolphins training camp, which kicks off today at the team's training facility at Nova Southeastern University in Davie:
> Trent Green, John Beck: The Dolphins' present and, they hope, their future. See if coalescence develops between Green, right, and the receivers. See how accurate Beck is at training camp speed and if he's picking the right receivers.
> The Oklahoma drill: Two pads, each giant-size versions of crib pads that keep infants from rolling onto their stomachs, form a narrow lane. In that lane, a blocker and defender will bang bodies as a back tries to run past. Serious hitting. Maybe a fight. Definitely big owwies.
> The secondary: Seemingly never completely healthy -- cornerback Andre' Goodman still is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery -- this group could use an improved Jason Allen as he moves to cornerback. Which means the 2006 first-round pick needs to look better in training camp than he did in minicamp.
> Vernon Carey: Watch how Carey, the left tackle responsible for protecting the quarterback's blind side from what often is the best opposing pass rusher, handles himself in one-on-one drills between the offensive and defensive lines. He gets beat by Jason Taylor, that's NFL life. If he gets dusted by Mkristo Bruce, uh-oh.
> Ted Ginn, the receiver: After signing Friday, the 2007 No. 9 overall pick will need to start developing as a receiver for the Dolphins to get value for their signing-bonus dollars. Check out how crisply Ginn makes his breaks, how well he catches the ball on the tougher patterns and how well he matches up with an NFL training camp-quality secondary.

Ginn

See heres the difference between Ginn and most of the other fast guys in the NFL. There is a thing called "track speed" and "football speed", Ginn is the only player i've ever seen that has both. His football speed is rediculas, wait till they get him in pads and I bet no one can cover him. He could probably run a 4.4 with pads on.

Ginn in TC

Morning practice 7/31: Beck finally connected on the play of practice, hitting Ginn for a 45-yard touchdown. The defense was in a zone and Ginn used his speed get behind Shirdonya Mitchell and Tuff Harris. Pass was on the money.

 

[scooter1369]

He burned two guys named Shirdonya and Tuff?

Is Shanniqua Shananay next?

Dolphins' rookie tandem connecting on, off the field
By ANTONIO GONZALEZ
Associated Press Writer

Miami unleashed its passing tandem of the future Tuesday, with Beck connecting on several deep routes to Ginn. With each day of training camp, the rookies are learning more about the NFL, and each other.

"He knew where I was going to be, and I knew where he was going," Ginn said. "It's happening more and more. There's no telling how good we can get."

The two have studied the playbook together at the team's hotel, but also try to talk about things other than football. Ginn said Beck has already filled him in on what he missed at rookie camp last week, when Ginn was still negotiating his contract.

"I talked to John Beck, and he kept me up on things I need to study as far as in my playbook," Ginn said. "That's the most important person right now - to be one-on-one with your quarterback. So he really helped me out a lot."
