you only get chances on this team if you're named Mark.

Ill....I think Mark Wilson was released so this statement is not correct...

[Kope]

The bar has been raised. This is absolutly the right call imho.

In addition to turning the ball over I wouldn't get stupid penalties either...Joe is serious this year

[firstdown]

Now maybe the Ramsey thing makes a little more sense. We got away with a win after 3 turnovers and if that keeps up it might be our only win. Gibbs is making a statement and Brown was an easy release with thrash, Bettis, and Moss on the team. I just hope that Moss is only used in case of an emergency.

Cutting Brown was a great move. He was cut in part to keep Hall on the active roster. 2 fumbles in three games? Goodbye... Thrash will return punts and Betts will return Kicks...

good move
brown cant catch or hold the ball
if he couldnt run that fast, he wouldnt be in the nfl

[saden1]

Brown can carry water for a living for all I care. Having speed doesn't make you a good player otherwise you’d see NFL scouts scouting track and field events. Besides, Betts can do the job.

Brown's job was hanging on by a string after his shaky preseason. The string broke after his costly fumble.

Somebody wondered if Brown would be benched along with Ramsey, I guess we got the answer loud and clear.

what happens when Brunell gets his first turnover? bet you no matter what the circumstance, he'll get another shot.

If he's throwing 2-3 picks a game then that's a problem.

Don't tell me the first time he has a turnover people are going to come screaming for him to be benched. Ramsey had 4 INTs in the preseason and another one Sunday along with 2 fumbles. That's a problem for any team.

Are you saying turnovers weren't a problem with Ramsey?

its safe to say that regular season performance is the best gauge for well, regular season performance.

as many picks as Ramsey threw, it's because he was throwing, and made more completions that mattered, touchdown or firstdown. in the end, he found more ways to win while "smart, safe" Brunell's just found ways to not lose by a lot.

its not that at all
gibbs changed the playcalling as well as put ramsey in the same time. i think last year brunell was learning a new system as well as ramsey. ramsey didnt win games for us as much as gibbs changed the playcalling towards the end of the season. dont get me wrong, ramsey did "ok" but i'd prefer to use brunell, he looks like he's more on page this season and definitely moves in the pocket instead of being a useless sitting duck. everyone keeps saying "gibbs is not keeping his word" gibbs doesnt owe any of us shit but getting wins, no matter what the case. and he cant come out and say certain things because other teams, especially our division foes are watching, incase some people think gibbs can justify everything thing. a coach being honest with the media at all times gets you in trouble. "coach gibbs, are you confident in ramsey?" :gibbs: "no he is useless in the pocket and makes shitty decisions" hmmm, is that what you guys want to hear?? let the coach be the coach and you guys be the fans. gibbs knows what he is doing, you guys let the media translate and give stories extra toppings and some of you guys think you know the whole story. gibbs named a starter, but he didnt say that starter wouldnt be yanked at any given time. and i think they are both starting to realize that the redskins and ramsey arent going to work the way you want them to. face reality peeps who are critics. gibbs see's everything behind the scenes and hears alot more than our little interviews we get on skins .com and the post.
YOU DONT KNOW BUT WHAT THE MEDIA GIVES US

[illdefined]

he dedicated the entire off-season to Ramsey just to play for the media? i don't think so.

please, cut out all this bow-down-and-accept-my-views crap, man... we're allowed to disagree with you, and with gibbs. I'm really getting tired of people like you telling us that we have no right to as opposing opinions. We've all seen the games and a bunch of the practices, and that counts for something. Whatever happens behind the scenes, the on-field results are the most important measure.

You got that right!




Brown although has amazing speed started to show why the Bills released him, you could finger tackle the guy, I was very high on him but the intagables started to rear their ugly head with Brown. Thrash is reliable to make a catch but not really a player who's going to do much on punt returns, Parson's I believe finished strong in the pre-season, maybe they will activate him off the practice squad?
