Will Saunders Affect Our QB Situation?

Not it's not. Stacking the box doesn't mean that they ONLY go after the running back. Brunell was pressured all day against Seattle's defense...that's a fact! The persuit stopped our WR screen - which helps to keep the defense honest. Nobody was getting open on a consistant basis. You have Taylor Jacobs playing opposite of Santana Moss..'nuff said.

If and only if the receivers are open and if and only if you're given time to burn the defense deep - both were not true in that game.

In your theory, we should be able to burn people deep everytime a defense stacks 7 or 8 guys in the box. That doesn't always happen. Just like you said, you can't expect 5 guys to block 7 or 8, so how do you expect 5 guys to pass protect against 7 or 8 guys? It doesn't happen. The best way to counter that is a quick dump off pass. Again - Seattle's persuit was faster than what anybody gave them credit for. It's not Brunell's fault or at least isn't Brunell's fault alone.

Why has this discussion gone this far?

Yeah, Taylor Jacobs is a homo. He needs to go back home on a greyhound.

Are you just mad because he broke up with you?

If you stood behind Ramsey and said "Look out it's Warren Sapp!" He would get happy feet and fumble the ball.

He needs a change of venue. I don't think he trusts the offensive line here (and rightfully so). The poor guy has taken some serious punishment.

He had his opportunity in '04 and in the preseason for '05. He is damaged goods. Take the 3rd rounder and let him try to salvage his career. Campbell is the #2 now. They used a 1st rounder on him and he was handpicked by Gibbs.

I liked Ramsey. I just think he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

You definitely missed the point of the post. How about "Look out it is Simeon Rice!".

Does that work for you???
