I saw the replay last night and saw good and bad, I like what I am seeing from the O-line, they are starting to work together as a team up front, for the most part they did a good job of bottling up the blitz from the inside. Betts is running well, and Broughton is looking good. I don't think we are really looking to establish a running game in the pre-season, we are just looking the line over and taking a look at the back's, the primary concern is the passing game, when the season starts our offense will force teams to come up and stop the run through repetition and then open up the passing game a little more, right now we are not trying to wear down the defenses.

The big concern is Patrick's decision making? Both his INT's were ridiculous, somtimes you can't kill a QB on an INT because it's not alway's his fault, these were his fault period, those 2 throws were so bad it worries me, he did well in the hurray up, it almost seems Ramsey is better, more poised, and more accurate when he's just reacting out there and not thinking so much, I also think he's better when we move him out of the pocket, he just seems to uncomfortable when he's just standing there.

I noticed with Brunell [who looked decent] that he was taking a deeper drop than Ramsey, perhap's the coaches should focus on that a bit with Ramsey, it may provide him with a little extra time, and a better view of the field, which may give him a much needed higher comfort level. Although he made some nice throws, as well as having a few drops, he looks like right now he's aiming the ball, I really believe Gibbs has really broke down this kids confidence, hopefully he finds it before he winde's up on the bench, because if that happens he may be done as a skin.

Gibb's still refuses to put McCant's in with Ramsey, at the very least he should put him in when we hit the red zone, it sounded like that's what Theisman was hinting at during the game and his insistance on the importance of a big reciever down inside the red zone, regardless of the success Ramsey has had with McCant's the last couple of years Gibbs wont do it, I believe Gibbs has to make a decision on McCants, either play the guy and give him an oppotunity with Patrick, or cut him, watching McCant's work with the backup's in the 4th quarter is getting old, it's like he's scared Patrick might make the guy look good.
