MERGEDX2:Game slowing own for Ginn.

Good article... But I must say, Sparano is starting to wear me out with his unending repetition of “the game slowing down…” for this guy and that guy and… Maybe they should watch the practice tapes in ultra-slow motion?

Seriously (slowing down to write this), I get the premise, but he’s wearing the slogan a little thin at this point…
 
Game slows down for speedy Dolphins receiver Ginn

Somewhere between the Nos. 1 and 9 on wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr.'s jersey is the bull's-eye.


It comes with the first-round draft pick money. It's what you get when you essentially disappear in your first season on a 1-15 team. It's what you live with during an all-too-long off-season when the man who picked you No. 9 overall is fired for a series of bad decisions.

It's makes you the target of criticism. And it gleams fluorescent aqua and orange when the new man in charge, Bill Parcells, and coach Tony Sparano revamp the roster, tossing dead weight and adding their type of players.
The only thing that will make it go away, Ginn knows, is taking every shot squarely in the chest and responding with the productive season he feels he can have.


"You have to come in and prove to everybody - not just your head coach, the whole coaching staff - that you want to be that guy," Ginn said. "You have to show them how you learn. You have to show them how your run. You have to show them everything that you bring to the table."

:lol:..... i love it tho.
its just a figure of speech used in football......
but its basically what playing good football is all about tho... In such a fast paced game you have to make split second decisions.... the best can make those decisions with ease because they have the experience to anticipate and react as if the game was going at a slower pace for them. "the game slowing down" basically is a fancy term for "he's gettin better/more comfortable/etc."

Another great one is "gel".

Example : The game "slowed down" for Ronnie once the offensive line began to "gel".:D
 
I've been telling anyone who would listen that this kid will put the work in to be great. He's used to being the best player on the field. Its just a matter of time before he is that again. Terry Glenn is only going to help out a fellow Buckeye.
