The Dolphins increased Patrick Turner's practice snaps with the second team last week, hoping he soon can become a factor. . . .

Former Dolphins receiver O.J. McDuffie talks about Ted Ginn Jr. ``having his dive game on,'' and Ginn -- who has frustrated team brass by having only 1 yard after the catch this season -- insisted last week, ``I'm trying to get more, but you've got certain routes you can and some you can't.''
Although his first instinct seems to be to run out of bounds on sideline routes, Ginn claimed, ``My first instinct is to run upfield, but it depends on how the ball is thrown.'' Mark Duper -- who helped UM's Leonard Hankerson -- called WQAM's Joe Rose last week to offer Ginn tutoring and said Ginn hasn't been taught properly how to run routes.

Word; Duper is right. Ginn rounds off most of his routes.

My guess is that it's more Ginn than the coaching staff, kind of like Jason Allen. Big game for Ginn, I think that increasing Turner's reps makes sense. Time for a different approach if Ginn doesn't follow through.

Nat Moore was apparently tutoring Ginn- what happened there? If he can't run routes correctly after high school football, college, and now his third year in the NFL- not good, to say the least.

QFT. He should be able to run routs in his dreams, in the grocery store and in his house.
 
ron jaworski did say ginn has good route running skills.. so i dunno :confused:
 
I hope we see tons of Turner. I have feeling he can be come something special but that could very well be me being optimistic about the dolphins(which is 100% of the time).

Maybe in practice. I don't see it in the replays focusing on Ginn's critical dropped passes during games.
 
haha whether its one yard or 9 yards after the catch...theyre both terrible numbers.
 
As a QB I know that a receiver will round off his routes if the QB can't get the ball there with a zip. If you'll notice, most of our receivers arc their out routes in the timing pattern with Penny. Arcing the out route will increase completion %, makes for an easier pass/ catch, but will kill your YAC as now you have to change direction and you have a cushion for the CB to attack instead of being able to turn an burn.

I don't think he played WR in high school. If I remember correctly, he was a top CB prospect coming into college.

Great point. I expect the YACs to increase with Henne.
