Ohio State 2004-2006 WR - Ted Ginn Jr. (3x All-American, 2004, 2005, 2006)

I still wish we could somehow clone him and put him back on the Buckeyes. As a freshman of course :biggrin:

 

2 TD returns in 59 secs.....That guy is sweet.

I'm happy for him too because a lot of people thought that he was an NFL bust. He's always a weapon, even when teams kick away from him.

Ted Ginn did everything. He can just turn on the jets, and it doesn't look like he's trying. If only he could catch.

 

The pay off: Ginn returns key 49ers' victory

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."

Ted Ginn Jr. Postgame Interview (9/11)

http://www.csnbayarea.com/pages/ninersvideo?PID=hXWM2-QONM9iywScu0w48RkdnB_pviJggEU07T#

 

Ted Ginn Jr., WR, San Francisco: Had four catches for 38 yards in a 27-24 OT loss to Dallas.

 

• Ted Ginn, WR, San Francisco: Had two kick returns for 59 yards and three punt returns for 19 yards in the win at Cincinnati.

 

TG2 through 3 games.......

4-Recs | 38-Yards | 9.5-Avg

KR- Returns-6 | Yards-235 | Avg-39.2 | TD-1
PR- Returns-12 | Yards-156 | Avg-13.0 | TD-1

 

Box score had him with 1 catch on 4 targets IIRC.

 

He should catch a couple passes per game really. There's no reason why he can't 2-3 grabs for 40+ yards every game. He obviously has wheels and his routes look a lot better than they used to. He's a weapon.

 

He just has a hard time catching the football, which is kind of his job description.

There are stories from 49ers camp that Ted goes 0 for 10 on the jugs machine.

I agree with Block though. Send Ginn out deep and keep the safeties occupied. This will only make Vernon Davis that much better.

 

Ted Ginn Jr. WR, San Francisco: Had 17 yards on three punt returns in a 48-3 win over Tampa Bay.

 

San Fran lost a WR to a broken ankle, Ted may move up to the #3 spot again.

 

NFL Videos: Ginn gets shifty

 

Ginn and Morgan had been the 49ers starters at wideout throughout training camp and the exhibition season. Ginn will now take Morgan's spot in the lineup.

Like Morgan, Ginn is looking for a long-term deal while also auditioning for the other 31 teams.

"No matter who's in the lineup, we're all getting our fair share of looks," said Ginn, who has four catches for 38 yards on the season. "It's a great opportunity to do a little bit better, a little bit more."
