didnt know what to choose...

- poor QB play hurts the team's morale as a whole
- offensive line/running game

but my biggest concern is INJURIES

- LavColes' big toe throughout the whole season, will NEVER be 100%!
- Thomas and Barrow are old men w/ chronic,nagging and very present knee injuries
- Sean Springs has been delicate in his years playing
- DIRTBAG #1

:(

My biggst concern is the Spurrier factor. Mistakes are playing a huge part in the games and yet again we are defeating ourselves . This is a ways into the preseason and Ramsey is still fumbling exchanges it is embaressing and simply shouldn't be happening .

I went with the O-line, just because dasael went with QB play :rofl: No really I have to believe the better the O-line play's the better the running game will get, and the better the QB play will be, I want to see Ramsey on occassion to be able to get comfortable in the pocket, he was pressured the whole time, Brunnell was a little quicker at getting rid of the ball, but I think that will come with time for Ramsey.

I voted "nothing, it's the preseason", because I have faith in Joe. I don't believe that he's too worried about winning the preseason games, he just wants to find out who will be the starters (in a few positions), and who will be the backups for many other positions. Staying injury free is the biggest concern, for any team, during preseason play. In addition, I'm old enough to remember Gibbs' first stint as head coach of the Skins. In his first year, they went 4-0 in the preseason, only to start off the real season with an 0-5 record. BTW, they finished the season with an 8-8 record. In Gibbs' 2nd year, they went 0-4 in the preseason, and won the Superbowl. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they'll go to the Superbowl this year, but at the same time, I think it's far too early to get worried.

I can't believe everyone is falling for this notion that "well, the offense is vanilla - that's why they can't get anything going."

If you follow that argument to its logical conclusion, then the offense will somehow perform better when more complicated plays are called.

I know it's going to take more time and reps. But if they can't run basic bread-and-butter plays smoothly by the third game, I'd say there's real trouble.

It's just the preseason so its not time to worry yet. This is typical Gibbs, when he won his last super bowl he went 0-4 in the preseason. give it time.

I picked poor QB play. If we cant get simple plays right they arent going to respond better to calling audibles and sending guys in motion all the time. gibbs runs a complex offense, and will do a lot of what Payton Manning is so good at. Plus, its more of a concern becuase we dotn know who our starter is. If we knew then it wouldnt be as big of a deal and can say its just preseason, but these guys are out there trying to win a job, and if this is all they are brining to the table its not a good sign. Its still early but someone needs to step up and act like a leader on that offense.
