Teddy, i'm not a hater, i'm a supporter. I think you're going to blossom into a good NFL WR especially with a more efficient QB like Chad Pennington throwing you the ball and in an offense that when healthy actually can be imposing and does indeed belong on an NFL field.

HOWEVER

If you are going to get called for an offensive PI at the end of the game.....could you actually do something to prevent the interception? A drop kick, a thumb to the eye, a low blow, a KIDNEY PUNCH. Put Revis in a sleeper, do SOMETHING that actually prevents him from picking the ball off.
 
that was a pretty lucky INT. the ball landed on revis, he didnt catch it.
 
Ya, i guess it is his fault that the ball was thrown right to him.

I mean he could of just body slammed him and made the PI look more obvious?

I agree with this he seemed to just give up his position when the ball was in the air.

Make the PI more obvious but stop Revis from getting an INT, we still get 2 more shots to the endzone.
 
I thought Ginn did a good job at trying to break it up (better than Fasano a few weeks ago...) but the defender go lucky and the ball landed on him while he was laying on the ground...it was luck pure and simple. I am not going to count anything against Ginn for that....
 
That was pure luck. Ginn did what he needed to and that was to chop one of his arms. It just landed on his body on the ground...dumb luck

Now for another discussion, I watched that throw Penne made and it makes me wonder, Do you think he actually was trying to get the ball to Ginn or throw it away. To me it seemed he wanted to throw it out of the endzone. It was real high up and Ginn was not really open.
 
Wow, I'm no Ted Ginn apologist, but that was not his fault. The ball should have been thrown about 10 yards further, out of bounds. It was a really bad play on Chad Pennington's part. Not to blame this loss on Chad, because he made it a game in the first place and their were dozens of other contributing factors to our loss, but he should have thrown that pass away. We'd have had another play had he launched it into the stands...
 
I'm not blaming Ginn directly for the pick, or saying he was a reason we lost today.....I'm just saying DO MORE TO STOP IT. It looked like he tried to put Revis in some kind of bear hug or something but Revis didn't really move. At that point Ginn, with his hands already on Revis knowing he's going to get called for the pick should do everything he possibly can to Revis to make sure he can't come down with that ball cleanly in bounds.
