Ginn Jr. catching on

[BAMAPHIN 22]

In some ways, Ted Ginn Jr. became a symbol of what went wrong with the Miami Dolphins in 2007And it wasn't even his fault.

When the Dolphins took the speedy Ohio State wide receiver with the ninth selection of the first round, the majority of fans -- at least the ones who came to the draft day party -- booed because they wanted Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn.

It didn't help when then-Dolphins coach Cam Cameron told fans they were going to love watching Ginn return kicks. His skills as a receiver were almost an afterthought. The fact Ginn caught only 34 passes for 420 yards and two touchdowns on a team that went 1-15 didn't help, either.

Use Ginn like Randle El, let him take a few snaps at QB or pitch it to him like Ladanlian and pass.

Redskins WR Antwaan Randle-El says he is ready and willing to take over as quarterback if need be.

"Just in terms of certain reads, of course, I had to refresh my memory," Randle El said. "I run the routes [as a wide receiver], so I know where you're supposed to be taking it over to the quarterback spot.

"But in terms of the read part, knowing the coverage and where to throw it to everything, that's what I had to get down."

He also threw a TD pass in Super Bowl XL, becoming only the third non-QB (and first receiver) to toss a touchdown in Super Bowl history.

Randle-El's NFL career passing stats are amazing when looking at them. He has attempted 21 passes, completing 17 of them for 235 yards, 3 TDs and no interceptions. He has a QB rating of 152.9 (a perfect passer rating is 158.3). Of course, those were all done on trick or gadget plays and not in a typical setting.

I am not opposed to gadget plays.

Marty Booker was a QB in HS and was named emergency QB in Miami.

Ted Ginn played QB in HS.
