Two major concerns

I think Royal will have big a impact this year. Wach for him down in the red-zone as teams key in on Cooley.

Royal just can't stay healthy. Besides we need maximum protection for Ramsey.

But if Patrick protects the ball and the O-Line gets nasty, maybe we can beat the eagles this year and get back to respectability.

Gibbs seems pretty confident in the set of WRs he has.

I guess time will tell if our lack of a "big" WR will negatively impact the passing game.

All I know is we've had our share of big WRs in the past, and it didn't put us in the playoffs.

There's much more that goes into a successful passing game and redzone offense than just having big targets.

If Gibbs believes Ramsey is the QB for his offense, he cannot be comfortable with the receivers we have because Ramsey has struggled with all of them on the long pass. Especially in the redzone. The pass to Cooley was an example of what happens when your target is bigger than your defender. Gibbs has been wrong in the past and I'm afraid he made a terrible mistake in getting rid of all of the big targets because it limits the offenses ability to go over top with the pass and relies too much on speed. Our speedsters seem to be outrunning the pass. So maybe speed isn't a plus in Ramsey's case.

I agree with That Guy!

Because he didn't catch a thing the previous 3 preseason games...

I get it, SUNRA, you hate our QB, you hate our WRs, you've said it a ton. I'm just saying that reading it 14 more times isn't going to change anything, we have what we have and there's nothing to do about it, so we might as well wait and see how it turns out.

I get it too! SUNRA is not a ray of Sun at all! His posts all point to the negative about the B&G under HOF Coach Gibbs. I'm looking forward to his posts after the B&G have beaten both dabears and the cowroids. I'm not saying we end up 9-7 or 10-6, with a play-off berth, all though both would be great. I am saying we should be at least 3 games better, and that makes us 8-8!

6 +3 = 8?

I have to say I agree with Sunra on the QB thing.....Ramsey is a pile of trash....but I like what we are doing with our receivers....atleast now we can see separation! I like everything about the skins except for Ramsey. I have no other concern except for our QB.

like ALL of us, i was BEGGING for Ramsey to take over over last season. when he finally did, he sparked our abysmal offense like we all knew he would. he's hung in there in the pocket, threw laser beams and stuck it through everything that is Redskin drama. god knows he deserves to start the season.

thing is, he totally doesn't look like the same guy i know. it's like him and Brunell completely switched places. i don't recognize Ramsey's throws, these lofty underthrown passes just aren't him. if Musgrave and the coaches are set on changing on his style (again), and tell him to keep practicing this kind of passing, then it's not the Ramsey i trusted. he can't be fighting himself and the defense out there.

i feel so sorry for the guy, for some new reason every year, he's never been able to be comfortable on this team and find his true rhythm. imagine all the years of conflicting crap that's been put through his head. i gotta say so far, its showing on the field. i think the Snyder era Redskins organization may have really ruined this naturally gifted QB.

SUNRA is an intergalactic Jazz musician from planet Jupiter (or is it Saturn?). Sunshine he is not!

this thread is specifically about "Major Concerns" and SUNRA is just expressing his. the lack of a large, physical receiver on the roster is a legitimate one, and it's already been noticed around the NFL. it's not being "negative" its being "concerned", hence the thread title. so back off him guys.

Good post ill. SUNRA and I disagree on whether not having "big receivers" is a problem but that doesn't mean he can't be concerned about it. I'm sure that as a Redskins fan SUNRA hopes to be proven wrong about this concern of his.
