I thought the same thing, but when I watched the replay, the guy behind him was running as hard as he possibly could, like he was being shot at, and asyou say, Teddy G was jogging.

Very cool.

Am I the only one who thinks harbaugh looks like Tosh??

Earl Thomas ran a 4.44 at the Combine, and dissatisfied with that, ran again at the Texas Pro Day where he turned in a 4.37. He's no slouch. Ran 4x200m relay in high school and reached the state finals.

That dude can fly. I tried to think of something cool to say about his speed but it's just so point blank. Dude is fast. Faster than anyone I've ever seen on a football field.

this.

he might not have a record setting 40 time, but once he hits his stride, i don't think i've ever seen anyone else faster in pads. on the KO return, he clowned the closest guy for 20 yards. dude started making up space, and TG2 erased all doubt in two steps. he's a freak.

edit: Gatorubet. i didn't ding you, but i was sorely tempted. if you can't see how Ginn nullified the pass rush all season long, and how devastating the loss of him was to the Bucks' game plan, then you aren't as football savvy as i previously thought. know your place.

The pay off: Ginn returns key 49ers' victory
Sept. 11, 2011

SAN FRANCISCO -- A week earlier, Ted Ginn's spot on the 49ers was nowhere near secure.

Ginn had to accept a pay cut of more than $1 million just to remain on the 49ers' 53-man roster. Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll interpreted that move as a sign Ginn would not even be in uniform to face his team in the season opener.

Well, Ginn was in uniform, all right.

The 49ers' fourth receiver did not catch a pass, but he had a historic day nonetheless. Ginn made a winner of Jim Harbaugh in his coaching debut with two touchdowns -- one on a kickoff return and another on a punt return -- within a 59-second stretch late in the fourth quarter of the 49ers' 33-17 victory at Candlestick Park.

"Honestly, we didn't think Teddy Ginn was going to play," Carroll said. "Teddy's got a real style about him, and he didn't play much in the preseason. He got us (by) running around us."

The 49ers appeared to have the game in hand with a 16-0 halftime lead. But the 49ers' conservative offensive approach -- "blue collar" is how Harbaugh described -- made sure that Seattle was able to hang around.

Receiver Doug Baldwin, a rookie from Stanford, took a short pass from Seahawks quarterback Tarvaris Jackson and turned it into a 55-yard touchdown to pull Seattle to within two points, 19-17, with 3:56 remaining.

That's when Ginn went work. He fielded the ensuring kickoff and blasted out of the end zone like a sprinter.

"Teddy's speed kills," Harbaugh said. "He was moving."

"It was the Ted Ginn show," 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree said. "He put on a show today. He was like a 200 runner hitting the turn."

Hopefully the pay cut came with incentives to make it back. Maybe a 100K bonus for every return TD. Teddy has the best mix of vision and speed that I think I've ever seen. OSU has had a bunch of very fast players since Teddy, but none of them have had his vision to see the hole and squeak through it.
