Corey "Philly" Brown vs Ted Ginn

[TheMaulClaw]

Does this make Brown disposable?  Seems like they're supposed to fill the same roles to me. Should be an interesting competition to keep tabs on when TC rolls around.

 

What do you guys think?

 

[TheRumGone]

Philly has way better hands and is younger. He needs reps

Agree.

 

So does this mean Ginn shouldn't see time at receiver?

[t96]

Why in the fuging world would a young UDFA WR of ours, who's costing us nothing and showed out his rookie year, be disposable?

[Mol3m4n]

I'm big on Corey Brown and would be upset if he is cut.

[TheRumGone]

Agree.

Hard to say. I think training camp will tell a lot.

Because he cost nothing.

 

I like Philly....I just think the Ginn signing presents an interesting paradigm that's all.  We could play them at WR simultaneously, but we wouldn't have much run blocking out there.

I'd like to see Corey put on some major weight. I like him though.

Why does it have to be one or the other?

We nèed more speed. Means they both need to play and make plays.

[Devil Doc]

Ginn was signed because philly needs more training and conditioning for the future, basically brown is future, Ginn is now...

[TN05]

No, Corey isn't disposable. He's slower than Ginn, but has far better hands and also greater potential. Ginn at #3 and Brown at #4 is actually ideal for us because that way we have two fast guys who are legitimate receiving threats.

It's not "one or the other" in a classical sense.  It seems fairly logical though, that one could cut into the other one's role.

[Gin and Juice]

Imagine sets with Brown and Ginn on the field! Talk about taking the top off! Screens just got real dangerous!

Now if we can only get Pierre Thomas

[TheNewStandard]

can Philly be developed into our #2 receiver, with Ginn and Philly taking turns blowing the top off?

Ricky Proehl is no joke and I'm not doubting his teaching, especially after watching Philly's evolution from the beginning of the year to the present.

Sorry to keep calling him Philly, I know he prefers Corey, but he may be a few really crisp route progressions away from being a terror in the field..,and not just a one trick pony.
