The QB has enough to worry about already, he needs to operate under the assumption that the receivers are far enough for a first down.

So I want to see the receivers quit running routes short of the first down marker. That's their fault. Shouldn't be too hard to correct.
I too Tivo'd the game and watched it last night, and I agree with most of your posts. Ramsey was making good decisions, he just was not getting the ball there. With his arm, there is no excuse for making that interception on the fly pattern, all he has to do is air it out. Hell most of us could've made that pick, just jump up over the little guy and grab the underthrown ball. I was also surprised to see the zip that Brunnell put on the ball, that simply was not there last year, but Im not about to become a Mark Brunnell fan based on one preseason appearance. Khary Campbell really disappointed me, so did Rufus Brown.
