I watched the Denver preseason game last night hoping to see P Ram's progress. ( I was always a fan of his, was one of the clowns who thought he didn't get a fair shake...etc.) Well, there was absolutely NO IMPROVEMENT from his time here to what I saw last night. Same happy feet, same tunnel vision, same guy trying to throw through defenders. Keep in mind the stats don't represent how poorly he played. There was another interception called back for a very iffy pass interference and a ball that shot about 30 yards straight up in the air travelled only 10 yards and somehow was not intercepted. (On that last one, he was hit as he threw)

I don't mean this thread to start another Ramsey debate, I just thought that with hindsight being 20/20 and Ramsey on his third team, the evidence clearly shows that Gibbs was right.

Did anyone else see the game and if so... were your impressions the same as mine?

The second interception if im correct one of the defenders knock down the WR than the other defender made the int. that was not an iffy call at all. With only one preseason game and his limited time in a new system its way too early to start posting stats and saying that a player is a bust no matter who they play for. When we let Ramsey go it was the correct move but I for one would like to see him succeed somewhere.

Diff of opinion on that one. On that 2nd interception, the defender that was called for Pass Interference was the same one that intercepted the ball. According to my understanding, the defensive player has just as much right to the ball as the offensive player so incidental contact (which I thought it was) is not a penalty. Regardless, it was double coverage and Ramsey threw back against his body which goes into the whole Ramsey not improving thing...

I think we are talking about the same play the call went against the other defender and not the guy who int. him. The second defender knocked him down before the ball got to them and he was going down as the other d man intercepted the ball. I'm not saying that it was not a bad decision by Ramsey but it was not an iffy call at all.
