Re: Two major concerns
I'm not worried about Portis or Betts fumbling very often. I am worried about Broughton fumbling if he gets goalline carries. The question is, will he even get goalline carries? Because he's been fumbling, I'll bet Gibbs lets Portis try early in the season, since he has bulked up a little bit. If that doesn't work, he'd probably try Betts.
I'm very concerned about the INT rate of Ramsey. If you add up all of Ramsey's playing time in the 4 preseason games, it probably amounts to close to 60 minutes of action. And he threw 4 picks in that time. 4 picks over the course of one NFL game would certainly kill us every week. The underthrowing of receivers is what bothers me most, I need to see deep accuracy. I'd be very worried about INTs and it's why a small small part of me wants to see Brunell starting.
Penalties, I'm not so concerned about penalties. Most of those were committed by backups. I don't see our starting offensive line having much trouble during the season.
