I dont know if anyone taped the game or not, but if you did go back and rewatch it. I taped it and I rewatched most of the first half when Brunell/Ramsey played. We really didnt play that bad at all. When all the starters were out of the game it was 3-3. We had some trouble at QB, but thats to be expected. I just dont understand how we can take a single thing from this game. The only things I am taking from this game is that the QB battle is wide open to Ramsey, Hasslebeck and Brunell, Sean Taylor is a Maniac, and Jon Jansen is a huge loss. Outside of that, who really cares. Gibbs said he was approaching this as a scrimmage for cryin out loud. If we play like hell week one vs the Bucs , then I'll start to worry. Until then , I have just as much confidence in tihs team as I did before the game.

Also remember that all the practices are now closed to the public. Which means that Gibbs has not installed all of he offensive plays yet.

joeCrisp: if you watched the game lastnight, how many plays looked similar to what they worked on during practice? I am willing to bet alot.

Trust me Gibbs was not going to show everything lastnight...

Good point. And a great deal of it will not show up until WEEK 1. There will be one play thrown in here and there during the preseason from his hidden arsenal to test them out. Then those plays and variations will show up frequently in the regular season. And the counter trey stuff they were running needs a LOT more practice. They will continue to improve their blocking execution. It has to get automatic for them. For some of those OL players, that high level of mobility, quickness, and deceptiveness that is required is going to take a while. When that comes together, it will greatly loosen up the passing game. Hopefully, by then, Brunell and Ramsey will have shaken off the rust.

Yeah - I'm an optomist - AND a believer in Gibbs!!!

Gibbs keeps it pretty vanilla in the preseason, so I'm not worried. I was a little dissapointed with the play of Brunell and Ramsey, but it's just the first real game, they still have some off season rust. I think Brunell will win the job though. Gibbs likes veterans.

The main thing is Ram had to look like there was no residual foot problem.
Taylor was to look like a 1st rounder.
Brunnell was to look like he was not too old, and still mobile.
And that He (Doc) was not worried.

All that in the last 10 minutes of the 4:30-5:00 p.m. hour on 980.

Doc should know!
