I'm not a Ginn basher, but at the same time didn't think he was worth a number 9 overall pick either. I think it might be worth seeing if someone like Brandon London is a better compliment to Bess. What I liked about Ginn early in the year was he had good hands. That said, there have been too many drops in crucial circumstances lately for my liking. If we're experimenting with Johnson at center and Satele at guard (which I like), I think we need to explore whether we have a better alternative to Ginn. Thoughts?
I don't expect any lineup changes at WR this year unless there is another injury. However, I believe very strongly that all of our WR's will have some new competition next year in training camp.
Ginn played his best in the Buffalo game when he went up against an injured CB. He had 175 yards.
This week he plays against none other than Pat Surtain but the KC pass defense is ranked last in points allowed and 3rd to last in yards allowed. Surtain had a 50 yard run back on an INT on Sunday but was caught from behind by Phillip Rivers. Brandon Carr, a 6 ft 200 lb corner has been working to surplant Surtain as PS has had injury problems all year. He has a lot of tackles (63) for a corner. Rookie Brandon Flowers is the other corner and he has 52 tackles, 2 picks and 1 TD. By comparison Will Allen has 41 and Goodman has 27. I don't know that is a good thing as it may show the inability of the front 7 for KC.
I think one of the problems with Ted Ginn is that they are using him on special teams. Now, im not saying that he shouldnt be back there on KR, because i feel that he is our best option. But hasnt everyone noticed this happened to DeAngelo Hall (back in the day) and now Devin Hester. Im not trying to make excuses for Ginn; however, i do feel that it is stunting his growth on either position when he has to pay attention to both entirely different positions. At the same token Ginn is not a #1 wideout and the opposition is treating him like one. We need a big physical reciever to complement Ginn and Bess.
