Skin's Breakdown

Ramsey seems to lock in on players or get an idea in his head and sticks to it without looking at the field.

On the play where he tossed it way over Coles, he had decided he was going to throw the ball out of bounds and just stopped looking, despite Coles being right underneath the throw. This really shows Ramsey gets very tense out there. When you get super tense, you don't see the field.

On the throw in the end zone to Cooley that Cooley couldn't quite bring in, Portis was open with no one within a mile of him. As Theismann said, Ramsey reverted to bad habits in trying to force the ball downfield there. Again, Ramsey's tension caused him to not see the obvious.

We know what happened at the end, when Ramsey was supposed to check out of the play if the Eagles didn't blitz, but he tossed it up for grabs with three Eagles and one Redskin there.

Before he made the great 30 + yard throw to Cooley, he took a really inexcusable sack, holding on to the ball too long once again.

If you get tense enough, anyone makes stupid mistakes. There is no shame in getting tense, but it doesn't make for great quarterback play. If Ramsey could learn to relax out there, he would play to his potential much better.

Ramsey defiently has happy feet when asked to stand in the pocket you can see he doesn't trust his protection, we need to role him out a little more if for nothing else just to give him a little comfort, and confidence, that he's not going to get pummled, his problem right now could be he doesn't give up on his primary reciever fast enough you have to be able to identify the coverage immediatly and know whether or not you have to progress to the next reciever he may not be doing that at this point, my thought is he just lock's on and hopes that the reciever can shake the defender, even on those little dump passes as a QB you can see the defender on top of the reciever you have to look downfield in those cases and maybe come back to it if nothing else is there he throw's it out there regardless as if it was his onle reciever, the problem is until I have the opportunity to sit in the stadium and watch I really can't get a gauge on what and who the problem really belong's to, but at this point I think the blame right now lies on Gibb's.
