Hey Matty, that was a great article!!! What link or whatever do you use to get that. I'm out in Tucson, Az and I've never heard of the guy. He really seems like a true Skins fan though and I'd love to read more of his stuff.
Go Skins!!!!!!!!!

GREAT ARTICLE.(AGAIN):thumb:

God, $100 million worth of improvements to our offense (between Brunell and Portis) and we can't score more than Spurrier did in either his first or second season. What a wasted defense,

Walters is a much better read than Kornheiser - similar style, only that Walters has a lot more substance. Two of his best lines that have stuck with me are the 49ers - CFL comparison, and something like "Samuels being fatigued by carrying his inflated reputation around".

Only thing I disagree with is the constant finger pointing at the refs - I realize Walters didn't imply that we lost because of the refs, but watching other games in the league, the officiating is bad in general, not just in skins games. That being said, I'm assembling a fund to bring Carlos the jackal out of retirement, or his grave, to end Tom White's officiating career. Any contributors?

I hate to say it Ramsey fan, but your boy Patrick isn't the real deal. Atleast not for Gibbs offense. There is no creative route running for the WRs to get them open - until then all Ramsey can do is dance around in the pocket and wait for someone to get open (which they never will) and try and zip it to them.

Well, if Ramsey isnt the real deal for the reasons you just said, NO QB is the real deal for this offense, except someone like Micheal Vick who can run around for 10 mintues. Ramsey may not be the real deal in the long run, I disagree, but it could be the case. However for those reasons you just said, there is no QB on the face of this planet who would be.

Why isn't Ramsey "the real deal" if the route running is the problem??? Rypien was less mobile than Patrick and he pulled it off...
