1st Ballot Hall of Famer
Dude.. Comeon on.. Being (not even a Finfan but) a football fan, you cannot believe that. All i t takes is 1 yard. Ask the 1999 Titans. One yard makes all the difference in the world and 2.5 ypr is a HUGE difference. Would you rather start at the 20, or the 17.5 yard line? Would you rather have 4th and goal from the 1, or 4th and goal from the 3.5 yard line? What if you have 3rd and 2.5 and only get 2... See the point.
Havent you ever heard the term, "football is a game of inches"? Well, they werent lying, it is.

I dont understand the post
Of course you would rather start at the 20 rather than 17.5 yardline..but is it a big difference as far as starting point?
No its not..
4th and goal from the 1 vs 4th and goal form the 3.5 is a whole diffent animal..its due or die..you win and lose games on that..
You dont win or lose games from having 2.5 yrds less on KR..
Negetive KR can kill you...
These are Ted Ginn's long KR vs Cribbs..
51, 48, 37, 34, 32 ,29..Those are his top 6 without the Jets game that almost everyone is discounting for what reason..I dont know..( 2 Best KR)
Cribbs High returns are
58, 42, 41, 37, 33, 32...
I think ppl think that Cribbs is so much better beacause he is on sportscenter and such...
Cribbs has been better over the past 3 years..Again on paper they are very similar for 2009
I know Ted is a poon...I am just saying we lost a pretty good kick ret.. and hope we can replace him
