Only recently has Ginn taken on expectations of grandeur.

When he was brought in, people were happy to have a return man. Then it was a return man who can occasionally lift the top off of defenses to open things up for the other guys. Recently it's become an expectation of a reliable receiver.

I tend toward expecting a solid return man who can hopefully stretch the D, while I'd be satisfied with just a solid return man. Hoping for much more is just wishfull thinking.

Boy he really drops a lot of passes. The speed is phenomenal. As good as anybody in the league. But can he catch on a consistent basis?

he shouldve caught the AS pass although it was a little high

and the davis pass was pretty off very few people on our team would be able to catch that

yea it was a bit high but crabs would have caught it

Ted Ginn was hearing footsteps on that pass and all of a sudden got alligator arms

If anything he's an auto fix for last years return weakness. We would've probably used the 5th rounder for a question mark at the return spot.

BTW that Nate Davis drop looked alot like the VD AS drop last week.

Inconsistent, just like Davis. Drops and that beautiful catch running to grab Nate's bomb, a thing of beauty.

Still, he will have to be addressed in the opponent's defensive game plan. I really think that this year no more "eight in the box". If they do, they will be sorry.

'bout time too!

and re-adjusted to catch it several times, it didn't look natural at all.
