Thoughts on the game

It seems like our first defense totally dominates just like last year, but when the second defense takes the field, they just fall apart. I'm not sure if our depth is suspect, or if Williams is playing a plain defense to evaluate the players.

I worry about Ramsey, but the more I think about it, the less I worry.

First, he really started to connect for the first time with his receivers.. and many connections were the long ball. He had something like 170 yards passing in the first half. Hell, we didn't get that in whole games last year.

Second, his numbers could have been better, but I saw his receiver drop a sure first down too. Another one, Moss was running free down the sidelines, Ramsey made a great throw but Moss lost the ball in the lights. Cooley was obviously taken out of the mix for the game plan. To me that means they really have plans for him and don't want to tip thier hat.

Third, Pat had some poor decisions. I think that good coaching can prevent about half of those. Now that Gibbs knows where Ramsey starts to force things, he can call plays that fit Ramseys comfort level in those situations. I had no real problem with the int overthrow to Moss. When you go bombs away there will be int's. It was the one in the endzone that was the problem. If Cooley was out there, I think he may have felt better about checking down.

It's preseason. All I want is for us to do a little better each week. Next week will be a huge test.

THATS RIGHT! If Moss catches that-at worse he gets 25 yards, at best he makes 2 moves and is gone, really there was only one man to beat if makes that catch - Lets not forget, Pat audibled to that play, so he made the audible, and a great throw.
