8/01: Beck threw a 20-yard dart into the end zone to Ginn, which was the second nice connection between the two during the day. In the morning session, Beck also hit Ginn on a 50-yard bomb with double coverage.

QUOTE OF THE DAY


"Troy Smith told me at one of the rookie events that we went to, 'All you have to do is put it out there, and Ted will go get it.' They were expecting the short routes, and we changed it up. That is what his speed means to us." ? Beck, explaining what Ginn's Ohio State quarterback said to him about his former receiver's extra gear.

Skolnick: Ginn's Impact
> Posted by Ethan J. Skolnick at 12:25:08 AM

Here's what Cam Cameron has been telling some national writers in an effort to explain why the Dolphins drafted Ted Ginn, Jr.:

While the team is looking beyond 2007, it does want to capitalize on a strong defense while it has one. And it figures that a strong defense will keep most games close enough where one or two big plays could prove decisive in any given game. So even if Ginn doesn't contribute much offensively at first, the Dolphins would deem him worth the price in the first year if he could significantly impact five games with his special teams play alone.

That, conceivably, could tilt two or three of those games.

Training Camp Update 8/02: ? Cleo throws a beautiful sideline ball. Throws four perfectly-placed balls in a row, hitting the receiver in stride just inside the white line. Nice fingertip grab by Ginn.

? Green drops back, throws left to Ginn, Ginn catches it ? and Travis Daniels rips it clean out of his hands for an interception.

? End-around to Ginn, who would?ve gotten about 8 yards with real tackling.

Afternoon Training Camp 8/02: Trent Green made quick work of the second-team defense with a strike to wide receiver Kerry Reed placed right in between two defensive backs, and showed his scrambling skills on a TD chuck to a wide open Ted Ginn Jr., who found space between defensive backs Travares Tillman, Shirdonya Mitchell and Jason Allen.

Those phin fans are going to be eating their words in the worst way after Teddy takes back a couple of kick-offs and hauls in bombs for scores next season.

Ted is too good a football player to not succeed if he applies himself.

Dolphins' Ginn catching on with fans

DAVIE ? Rookie receiver Ted Ginn Jr. looks to his right, reaches out for the football, and a few seconds later he scores again.

The Dolphins' first-round pick leaves behind another smiling fan.

Ginn doesn't stop there. He continues to sign anything he's handed after several practices this week at training camp.

"The only thing I can do right now for them is go over and sign autographs," said Ginn, whose selection was criticized by many fans. "Once the season starts, I'll try to do other things."

Ginn, an electrifying receiver and return man at Ohio State, arrived at camp last week with plenty of fanfare - he signed a contract that guarantees him $14 million - but without the swagger of many first-rounders.

Coaches and teammates took notice.

"I bet you 85 percent, 90 percent of the first-round draft choices I've had have come in with the new cars and the spinning wheels," receivers coach Terry Robiskie said.

Not Ginn, said defensive tackle Vonnie Holliday, a 10-year veteran.

"A lot of times you see those first-round draft picks come in and they're full of themselves already and haven't done anything in the league," Holliday said. "He doesn't seem to be one of those guys. He's humble and respectful of the league and the guys who came before him - and he's dedicated."

NBA's LeBron James signs NFL pal Ted Ginn Jr. to marketing deal


CLEVELAND (AP) - LeBron James thinks he can help fast friend Ted Ginn Jr. become a bigger star.


Further broadening his business portfolio, the Cavaliers' forward has signed Ginn, the former Ohio State speedster now a rookie wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, to a marketing contract.

Ginn is the first athlete signed by LRMR Marketing, James' budding sports marketing company. And now that he's teamed up with Ohio's best-known sports superstar, Ginn feels anything is possible.


"To do this, not so much for money but to maybe get on a Sprite commercial with LeBron or anything, that'd be fun," he said.
Ginn, who signed a five-year contract worth more than $13 million last week, said knowing James for years made the decision to enter into a business partnership an easy one.

Looks like Miami fans will have made asses out of themselves...again.

Not all of us!

I've been on the CBSSportsline message board where the Dolphins have one of the biggest contingents of posters and those guys have been raving about Teddy for a while. There is huge tension between Dolphins fans outside of south Florida (real fans) and the ones living in Miami. Evidently the ones in Miami are pretty fairweather just like their UM fans are. Go figure.

Back to Teddy, only one pass has been overthrown to Teddy thus far with the majority of passes underthrown and even some of those he's getting to. Also, the reason he keeps beating two safeties is because NO ONE can stay with him 1 on 1. Of course, we already knew that didn't we?
