Creative route running for WRs

[sportscurmudgeon]

Ramsey does not need to develop chemistry with a receiver. That will have to come later.

He needs two things before "chemistry" will even matter a little bit.

First, he needs reliable protection. He does not have it now and without some major improvement on the part of the incumbents on the OL or some very judicious acquisitions on the OL, he will not have it next year. Chemistry with one of your WRs does not matter one bit when you are flat on your ass or staring at a monster coming at you unblocked.

Second, Ramsey still needs to demonstrate that he understands what he is supposed to do with the ball in various situations. He is better than he was in pre season where he looked like a deer in the headlights. He is better than he was in his first game or two as a starter when he looked like The Rain Man out there. But, he is not anywhere near the level of "mastery" of this offense. First comes "mastery" of what to do when and then comes "chemistry" with a WR.

Please don't tell me that Ramsey has it all going on. He doesn't, yet. Against a mediocre Dallas defense on Sunday he generated a total of 112 yards of offense in the first three quarters of play - including 2 INTs. Against a top flight defense that would be a "bad day at the office"; against a mediocre defense that was a "pants wetting".
