I disagree about putting in Ramsey when the team isn't playing well yet, especially the o line. We did that last year with Spurrier, and he looked shell-shocked. Sometimes it makes more sense to bring a guy along slowly and put him in in situations where the rest of the offense can really carry him. That's not the deal yet. I think he should (and will) get meanignful time this year (bet Brunnel won't stay healthy), but I think it may make sense to bring him along a little slower, given the way he's looked lately.

As for Brunnel, he's shown flashes. I think the whole offense isn't clicking, not just Brunnel (though he's a big part of it). Portis needs to dominate. That has not happened. I say give it till the bye week before we start in on the changes. I know it sucks to lose, but instability and inconsistency has been the way it's been done for the last 5 years. Let's hold the line a bit here. TRUST GIBBS. He wants to win more than you, believe it or not.
