2015 WR Core vs 2014 WR analysis

[Mr. Scot]

People are forgetting what a special player Ginn was for us, too. Not only as a deep threat, but a blocker, decoy, and emotional tone setter. I think this has the potential to be our best WR corps in a long time, maybe ever depending on how well Devin clicks with Cam early.

 

Good point.

3 targets at 6'5'' on the field with Ginn dragging the safeties deep from the slot. How do you even defend that? Unless there's a scheme to magically be everywhere at once that we don't know about yet, it's going to be a nightmare for defenses.

My question is, why did Funchess run a 4.7 40 at the Combine?  

[DaGreat_98]

Can someone do the comparison from the 2013 season to last year's total receiving stats? They were dogging us for not breaking the bank on those other receivers and I want to know the stats to be able to throw in their face

The famous "Donald Lafell" play was possible entirely because of Ginn. He and Lafell were lined up on the same side, Lafell ran a streak, Ginn ran a post. Both defenders opted to run with Ginn out of fear of him getting too deep, leaving Lafell wide open. Then Ginn came back to land the block which sprang Lafell for the TD. He brings a hell of a lot to our offense.

He had a toe injury.

If we can get anything from Stephen Hill at 6'4 it could get crazy.

He's actually younger than KB. Ideally he elevates his game and we've got the biggest baddest set of bullies at WR the game has ever seen.

He was injured, had a bad toe (turf, and apparently fractured toes to be exact).

 

This is one of the reasons he ran a 4.47 on his Pro day.

Pie in the sky scenario.

 

Would love for it to happen, But if he doesn't, we can still get solid contributions from Ted Ginn and Philly.

ginn meant a TON to our offense in 2013. If he still has the speed (DG says he does)  this is about to get nasty.

 

anyone think that little speed demon SC WR has a chance of making the squad? He ran like a 4.27 ON GRASS

If his hands are any good and he can take a shot, sure.

don't forget the QB who is always a threat to run with the ball when he sees a hole and there aren't any targets available.

pick your poison.
