(On if he is getting more confident throwing the ball to Ted Ginn, Jr. in important situations) ? "Sure. And that starts with him. He comes to practice every day and he works hard and he wants to get better. He's eager to learn and he ask me for feedback. And I think that's great and all of our guys are like that. The more balls he catches in critical situations the more confidence he gets in himself. The run he had on the reverse was spectacular. He has so much talent. It just takes time to develop. What happens is he's such a good athlete he makes things look easy sometimes and that's not the case."
(On the play call that successfully converted the 4th-and-5) ? "On the sideline Dan (Henning) asked me what I liked. We decided the play we called would be the right play. They've got a really good coverage scheme. They had pretty good coverage on it. But Ted (Ginn, Jr.) found a way to get open on the shallow cross and did a good job to get to the sticks and then run north-south and not run east-west to make sure he got the first down."
(On if Tedd Ginn, Jr. was the primary receiver on the play) ? "No, he was actually the No. 3. We had Greg (Camarillo) on a post route and Ronnie (Brown) on a wheel route. They did a good job to make sure we wouldn't hit the big play and Ted (Ginn, Jr.) managed to get open."

(On using WR Ted Ginn, Jr. in critical situations) ? "Yeah, more and more. I think one of the things is certainly Chad [Pennington, QB] is becoming a lot more comfortable that way with Ted. What I see with Ted is I see him catching the ball across the middle in a 'Dagger' route, I see him catch the ball at the end and run with it. So he made some good plays in the middle of the field there and in some other areas. Not a place where a lot of smaller people want to go. So I think that Chad has become a little bit more comfortable, because it's all a part of trying to move him around a little bit. I think that helps us out when we move him around, get him into new areas, but Chad is becoming a little more comfortable."
