At least they threw downfield!

The screens looked good. AND they worked.

This is something they did not do last year and with Portis, these could really help to exploit blitzing defenses. Good job to Musgrave to help implement this and the shotgun.

Remember, last week the line looked terrible. Pass protection was awful and everyone was saying how bad our line might really be.

Guess what? When they prepared to protect against a blitzing team that could actually put thier hands on our QB, they did great.

Now, Gibbs has no reason to show his best passing plays in preseason. He will be showing watered down versions of the ones that need the most work. No need to practice hitting Cooley in the flat. We know Ramsey can do that. That said, Ramsey missed 4 passes. The ones short of first downs are also attributable to the guys running the routes. That is something that can be fixd through coaching.

Penalties were few (except with the third stringers on the goal line) so that is another positive. Also, when the panthers did blitz, Ramsey checked off to the correct receiver and beat it every time.

Lets see what we fix from this game in the next one.

Yes before they would never run the screens but at least 3 in the game must be a record for Joe Gibbs. They worked and ran great.

ramsey and brunell looked pretty comfortable using the shotgun. the offensive line (1st & 2nd string) looked really good.

the defense didn't look as good as last year but i didn't expect them to, they were missing way to many starters. taylor is really in the dog house, he didn't play with the first team but was forced to play with the second and he was on the field for a long time.
