Miami Dolphins, come clean: You desperately need top wideout

The one instance when he sounds disingenuous is when he addresses the team's wide receivers. Such as when he recently was asked if he thought Miami needed a game-breaking receiver and he said, ``I don't think that is the case right now. I am happy with the guys we have.''
Cue laugh track on that last statement.

Ted Ginn Jr. ostensibly is the No. 1 receiver, but not really. He does not get open deep despite his speed. His yards-after-catch are abysmal. He shows no consistent inclination to get up and fight for contested catches. If he were merely a third- or fourth-round pick, he would be merely disappointing. As the ninth overall pick of the 2007 draft, he is inching ever closer to flat-out-bust territory.

Davone Bess and Greg Camarillo are OK. Rookies Brian Hartline and Patrick Turner might be OK, too. Bess is the top-producing guy with 157 receiving yards, 66th in the league. His average is 7.9 a catch, right around what backs Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams are averaging.

NFL teams already this season have completed 59 passes of 40-plus yards, with the Dolphins contributing zero to the total. Miami wide receivers have only two catches for more than 20 yards (both 21), the fewest in the league.
No Dolphins wide receiver is averaging 10 yards a catch.

By draft or trade or free agency, it's time the Dolphins planned on targeting a legitimate target, a true No. 1 receiver -- somebody necessary to help make Henne the great quarterback they hope he will become.
That starts with acknowledging the need.

I absolutely, positively, definitively refuse to come clean.

We have the best receiving corp in the NFL
 
I think if they knew Ginn was not going to progress, they would have pulled the trigger on something. They expected Ginn to step up, and it was seemingly a miscalculation at this point.
 
You coach and play with the players on your team.

"Fans" can talk about who they would want on "their" team.

But coaches coach and play games with with the players they have.

Does anyone think it helps the morale of the team to talk about what you would "like" to have as a coach?

one note before i stopped even reading this... ted ginn does get open deep, often... he just cant get the ball thrown accurately... though lately his hands have looked like hed drop it anyway... just saying getting open is not his issue
 
can we just draft dez bryant next year. then our problems will be solved
 
Honestly, i think Ginn is a bust and will never be a number 1 wide reciever. Our passing game is boring.

However, I think Ted would do better as a number 2 receiver because the secondary would be less focused on him. A big time receiver is an absolute must if the Dolphins offence wants to take the next step to becoming an elite offence.

Ted would do much better just focusing on kick-off returns (NOT punts) and end-arounds.

That teams focus on Ginn and assign two players to him most of the time is merely a myth and is just another excuse for his limited abilities as a WR.
 
I'm sure this is something that will be addressed in next years draft. I think the FO was hoping for someone to step up and since that has not happened Im sure they will get it done.
 
we dont need one this year

henne is not gonna win games for us this year until late this year even if that

we are a RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN team.


the ONLY wr i would even get is boldin ....edwards has too many question marks surrounding him
 
we need a TE to step up firstly that would free up the WRs more if we had a solid TE threat and would give Henne a good check down option outside the RBs
