"I think he’s OK," Johnson said. "He was drafted a little higher than what his performance warranted in college. I felt they reached a little bit for him but it’s not his fault. You can’t punish him for that. He’s a guy that at the right price makes sense."
So, is there still time for Ginn to salvage his Miami career?
"He has to play with a little bit of swagger," Johnson said. "He has to play with that confidence and a little bit of that swagger we’re talking about. The definition of swagger, in my opinion, is you have to have that arrogance, that confidence that you are the best out there at all times.
"That’s the way I approached the game. People said I wasn’t the fastest guy in the world, but I ran past everybody I needed to run past, and he needs to take that same approach. I dominated the [joker] when he got in front of me. He needs to take that same approach. Until then he’ll just be another guy wearing 19 that’s out on the football field running around collecting a paycheck that will soon be out of the league."
Wow. That last part sounded pretty harsh, but considering Ginn's problems this year with dropped passes and general invisibility for long stretches, they aren't out of line.
