I love one of the quotes from Penny " There's still things we need to work on" that's all he talked about in his article, what we needed to work on, not how good things went on this past Sunday....something the rest of the team needs to continue to work on...

Every time, I'm just thinking, 'This is an opportunity. There is a ball in the air. I've got to come down with it.''"

This is the mentality we need from Ginn on every passing down. Even if the ball is not thrown near him there are always chances of a ball being tipped and him maybe being in the right spot at the right time.

EDIT:

There's also an article that talks about Porter, Roth & Cobbs coming up big with their opportunities and it mentions the big one.. Ernest Wilford. They say "is he another guy who only shines with the right opportunities"? This is what the coaches have been saying all along.. They're trying to figure out spots for guys.

If they don't make that they don't make the team next year.

"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl

On the question about Wilford, you first have to take into account who's asking the question, Armando! He's always trying to prove he's smarter than everyone else and just keeps throwing crap out there hoping something sticks so he can say "I said it first"! I believe that Sparano knows a hell of a lot better than Armando if a player is worth putting on the field or not. I trust our coaches instincts and judgement much more than anything that imitation journalist can come up with!

I do, too. I don't mind armando but sometimes seems like he stirs the pot.. which is their job. "The right opportunity" for Wilford are the ones he gets. If he makes the most out of them I bet you he doesn't sit on the sideline.

I think Ernest Wilford is a player who can't be the go-to-go. He has to be the number two or three option in an offense. He doesn't do anything well really. In my opinion, he has to have outside targets while he works off them in the slot.

"Jason Allen had a heck of a ballgame yesterday," Sparano said. "I think Jason played 40 plays maybe, and then another 18 or so on special teams so he had a busy day yesterday. Jason had a pretty good byline. They threw the ball at him one time out there and I think the kid made the catch on a back shoulder type of a deal where he was in really good position, and then when they came right back at it he made the play.

"It's another good situation to learn from, a competitive situation that we talk about. The guy responded and went right back out there. I thought Jason was pretty physical. He came up and he made some plays that way and he challenged the receivers, so you felt him out there. You felt his presence."

I like that quote from Sparano. I thought Allen played well and should continue to play on both ST's and in the nickel. Lets hope it continues.
