Jason Taylor Has Great Quote, Ginn Has Great Game…But…
By Brian Miller
Rarely do you hear a quote that really makes you laugh, smile, and really want a response from, but this post-game comment by Miami Dolphins DE Jason Taylor is one of those quotes. Taylor was heard yelling this as he passed the NY Jets locker room after the game.
"“It’s like a damn graveyard around here,” he yelled. “Talk about that for two weeks.”"
Taylor, in reference to the Jets running off with their mouths all last week and the week before, and the week before that, and the week before that…oh hell you get the idea. With the Jets on a bye week next weekend, there should be plenty of jawing about how they lead in yardage and how bad it “stinks” and blah, blah, blah…or better yet…boo, hoo, hoo. To steal a line from Rex Ryan.
As Monday settles down into the realization that next week the Phins travel further north to New England it should be noted that the Dolphins will put yesterdays’ big win behind them, so should you over Ted Ginn’s big day.
Don’t get all worked up and buy into the kool-aid being served up in the media. Ted Ginn isn’t back for two reasons. One, he was never here and two, one game hardly makes him something special. Ted Ginn had a very good game. On ST’s he had a great game. But Ted Ginn is listed as WR and Ted Ginn the WR still sucks. I won’t take anything away from him for his performance but Ginn is still way too inconsistent to make an impact on this team outside of ST’s. And let’s not forget, yesterday was more a fluke in his favor than something we should expect going forward. Before yesterday do you remember the last time he made it past the 20? Exactly.
Sorry to our staff writer Patrik Nohe, but the “cat” is most definitely not out of the bag. Teams are not going to be anymore aware of Ted Ginn returning kicks than they were last week. He isn’t a special weapon, he isn’t even special. New England will not sweat over Ginn back deep next week and the Tampa Bay Buc’s won’t the following week. One good hit on Ginn and he will be running for the sidelines. Sad but more often than not true.
Great game Ted…seriously.
Make sure you check back later this week to hear about the stellar performances of the Dolphins trio of rookie defensive secondary starters this week. Vontae’ Davis, Sean Smith, and Chris Clemons!
