Love for Ted Ginn
 
I was completely unimpressed with this signing.

It looks like it was brilliant so far.

That one throw was thrown into like triple quadruple coverage and he still came down with for 50...

I don't know what Brees was thinking, that was an awful decision that Ginn made look good.

A win is a win, but the offense has to get better. Still, I like being on this side of that score line.

He actually had coverage beat and was under thrown.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that he keeps catching what Drew throws to him.

Ginn is playing great football. I will just like for him to keep the ball closer to his body on punt returns, it scare the hell out of me that someone going to snatch that ball from him

He's not playing any better. The QB is more accurate.

Re: Love for Ted Ginn
 
He deserves a thread like this. I like many wasn't exactly wowed by this pick-up either. I thought maybe we get a good punt return or two out of him and that he was basically a one hit wonder burner WR but he has really matured as an all around receiver. Week after week it's been fun watching him catch the balls near the line of scrimmage, balls that look like they are going no-where and watching him juke or dodge to get maximum yardage. Frankly, I would have never thought I'd ever think of him as clutch, but he has been exactly that. I never thought this was more than a one year deal, but I could see him sticking around for a few years and really contributing.

I don't think we hear from Snead much because Ginn starts over Snead. I'm impressed.

Because the QB is more accurate. There is a direct correlation. He is not having to work on pulling it in. It's right there! It's the reason we have success with garbage WR's an those WR's have no success anywhere else.

Yes didn’t expect much from Ginn and he has done nothing but impress me....

Brandon who?

Re: Love for Ted Ginn
 
I'm not surprised at all. Ginn had good years in Carolina - it only stood to reason he'd do at least as well and I figured he'd do better because Drew Brees.

He can go deep and runs more/better routes than Cooks - nothing against Cooks, he's young. I didn't figure we'd miss a beat and I did figure we might even be better off.

So far, so good.

I was 100% behind the signing of Ted Ginn Jr. All he needed is what all WRs need. Drew Brees.

I was for Ginn but I thought he would be no more than a decoy. The guy is producing at the same level as Brandin Cooks when targeted.

It's great to be discussing football again, but watch the catch when he was bracketed by the two Dbs, gave a little push and then worked his ass off to pull it in.

Regardless of how we're seeing it, wouldn't you agree he's quickly making us forget about old what's his name playing with the Pats?

Ted Ginn never had the luxury of playing with a good quarterback like his counterpart Santonio Holmes. We see who’s still in the league and who’s not. Ginn has always been a tremendous athlete, but the best QB he played with before now was Cam Newton, who we all know isn’t the poster child for accuracy. Yeah, Ted will drop an occasional pass, but if you use him right he’s the most dangerous weapon on the field. I saw a modified screen the Steelers ran for Antonio Brown last night that the Saints should adopt for Ginn.

They probably have an offensive assistant looking at it this moment.

Although Drew is a HOF, most of the passes he threw to Ted Ginn I wouldn't advise, but it worked out. On the real, Ginn made Drew look good not the other way around. I expect Drew to get his timing with Ginn and that will come with time and more trust.

He made a great catch that we really needed. Ginn got juice

Even better when you consider Ginn's YAC, way better than Cooks...

Utah_Saint 10-30-2017 02:28 PM

Re: Love for Ted Ginn
 
I didn't like the signing. I thought Payton was sending a message to Cooks letting him know that he was just a burner and we could get one of those anywhere.
I figured Ginn would be a deep field decoy that other teams would have to respect but I didn't expect him to be as involved in any other aspects of the offense.

I was wrong. Turns out he's an asset all over the field. He's more elusive after the catch than Cooks, and unlike Brandon, he's not afraid to go across the middle.

He has his moments. We were lucky in Green Bay with that mishandled punt and he got away with a push off against the Bears (great veteran move based on ref position). Not sure if Drew has hit him stride yet, he is definitely is fast.
