I'd like to see deep accuracy from Ramsey, but more importantly, I'd like to see smart decisions. If the receiver isn't open, I'd rather see him throw it away. I'd rather punt than risk an interception.

I actually don't want to see too much of Clinton Portis. He's too valuable, I really don't want to see him get hurt. I think having him get hurt would kill us as bad as Vick's injury killed the Falcons in 2003.

Bettis did have over 100yards but I think it took him over 30 carries and most came late in the third and forth qtrs. We matched up pretty good with them last year with an offence that was just terrible. I would like to see Ramsey progress and put 10 or so points on the board and see us stretch the field and have Portis make some good yards on his few carries. The D just needs to get some presure on the QB.
