Interview with Portis

I think we need to start with intermediate passing so we can get our QB/WR's some in game experience together.

The good thing is, I know Ramsey has done it in the past. In the Spurrier-era when he was throwing downfield a lot, he had a pretty good touch on the ball, especially to McCants.


I agree with ya....Ramsey can make all the throws (except maybe the touch throws!) but Gibbs won't test teams DEEP as much as Spurrier did. His opportunities will be less in Gibbs' system......I hope he can take advantage of the opportunities that Gibbs will give him!

this is a little off the subject, but, even the most casaul football or even Joe Gibbs/redskins fan knows that the redskins offense held back a lot during last years's preseason. . .


1. do you guys think that had an effect on our crappy offense being out of sync all year?

2. do you think St. Joe will roll out the shotgun and stretch plays at all this preseason, or keep them guarded until week 1?

1. I dont think that the preseason had any real effect on the crappy offense. It was Brunnel, time management, Gibbs adjustment, bad special teams, WR's injuries, and bad officiating that cost us 3 or 4 games last year. Add Ramsey with a years experience, Gibbs with a years adjustment, better special teams, and normal officiating, we pick up those 4 games and go to the playoffs.

2. I think we will certainly see the shotgun in preseason. I hope Gibbs gets back to the old self where he lined up and dared you to stop him. No big surprises, just perfect execution.

Nevermind.

Reason: I decided my post was pointless.


That never stops the rest of us. ;)

Take this one for example. :P

we could really do some damaged if we contiue to play as a team.especially if the line comes toether then it's going to shame on ya to the other teams. c'mon regular season.

Last year's D was a perfect example of how drive and passion outweighs talent. Not to say our D wasn't well-coached and adequately talented but they played with the passion that the offense was lacking.

I liked this part of what Portis had to say.
I would not have expected to hear Royal was doing that well.
I would not have thought of Royal as one of our weapons.
I figured him as a June 1 cut.
I am glad to be wrong.
I think we are all hoping for the best for Jacobs....He has so much potential.

"Q: When you look at the offense during practice at OTAs, which players stand out to you?
A: "I think (Chris) Cooley is going to be a big part of this game plan. You have Santana Moss and David Patten. You have Robert Royal coming on strong. You have a lot of weapons. Hopefully, Taylor Jacobs is going to explode onto the scene like everyone knows he can and become the player that they thought he was when they drafted him. We have a lot of weapons that people have not seen and we are waiting to show them."

Yeah, I mean like I said before with Williams, you don't MAKE that kind of stuff up. I mean it was way too specific to be scripted. AND he's not a coach so I don't expect a lot of BS about our players from other players.

"Hopefully, Taylor Jacobs is going to explode onto the scene like everyone knows he can and become the player that they thought he was when they drafted him."

Gotta love talk like that.
