WR Ted Ginn, Jr. (Official Thread)

If Ginn were able to play, he could have been a big difference maker in this game. Williams had the punt hit his knee and gave the Giants the ball earlier, now another turnover in OT. I have to think with Ginn back there that neither one of those turnovers happen.

I think this 49ers loss shows the tremendous value of Ginn in the 49ers system. Forget WR, Kyle Williams was responsible for 10 points this game: 7 to tie the game, 3 to win the game. Ted Ginn has solidified his place in the NFL as a KR/PR specialist.

Free agency: Ginn states his case by his absence

The 49ers season is over and the focus now will begin to turn to free agency. One of the team's 19 pending free agents made a fantastic case for why he should be re-signed today by not playing. Ted Ginn missed the game because of a knee injury, and the 49ers missed his sure hands on the return team.

When Ginn's 2011 highlight reel is played, it inevitably will have the two big touchdowns he scored on returns in the fourth quarter against Seattle in Week 1. Perhaps more important was the fact that Ginn didn't lose a fumble on a punt or kick return this season. The 49ers' won games this season by taking the ball away on defense and being careful with it on offense, and Ginn and the special tams unit reflected that approach.

Special teams is very important to the 49ers. And Ginn -- it's more obvious now than ever -- is a critical piece to their special teams.

It's also clear that the 49ers missed Ginn on offense. No, Ginn is not a No. 1-caliber wideout nor is he naturally gifted at the position. But defenses certainly respect his 4.3-second speed, and when Ginn is in the game, a safety always has to be wary of him taking off down field. The Giants defense, for the most part, did not feel threatened on Sunday and did a good job of bottling up the 49ers' passing attack.

Doesn't look like he's going to play on Sunday, which is unfortunate for the 9ers. He's been a big part of their success this year.

They damn sure missed him, to say the least.
