B&G,

Go back and re watch the tape. He gave the offense the ability to stretch the field. Did you notice how the safeties could not sit inside the box? They weren't able to cheat on those routes.

Crossing patterns ? check.
Slant patterns ? check
In and out routes ? check

He is soooo much more valuable than just catching a pass. The guy performed like an experienced vet at WR.

That’s my point... I’m trying To take a shot at all of the other WRs/TEs on the team. Ginn played limited snaps and it was noticeable how much better the offense was.

Yep.. Ginn's real value isnt what he can personally do with a ball. His value is with what he makes a defense do because he in the field. His speed must be accounted for upfront and I think that opens up Thomas just enough to be a huge value.
