Will Ginn be a No. 1 WR in 2009?
Not since Chris Chambers had 1,118 yards in 2005 has a Miami Dolphins receiver had a 1,000-yard season. In that same season, however, Chambers led the NFL in dropped passes.
According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, Dolphins coach Tony Sparano says that there's a No. 1 receiver on this squad, but he's not sure exactly who it is yet.
''I would say that, yeah, I would say I feel that way, sure,'' Sparano said last week. "Who that guy is, I am not quite sure of yet. I think there are a couple of contenders out there that I am curious to watch when we get through this whole thing.''
Salguero argues that player has to be Ted Ginn Jr., who was the team's first-round pick in 2007.
He goes on to write that Greg Camarillo is coming off a knee injury while Davone Bess doesn't have elite speed (or size). Plus, Patrick Turner and Brian Hartline are both rookies. So, in other words, if it's not Ginn, then who could it be?
Ginn improved from 2007 by recording 56 receptions for 790 yards and two touchdowns in 2008. However, he was inconsistent.
He had two or fewer receptions in six of his 16 games played. He had five games with fewer than 20 receiving yards and only had four games with 60 or more receiving yards.
This year, Ginn will likely post overall numbers that are higher than his 2008 totals. The question is will there be greater consistency in the level of his performance throughout all 16 games.
