Anyone see the scrimmage?

Yeah, after hearing a lot about Ramsey in camp and then hearing how he did in the scrimmage troubles me a bit. But it was good to hear Campbell was doing well...hopefully he isn't a starter for another few years.

I was there and I was so disappointed. I was hoping to see a change in the offense. Nothing but the same thing as last year. 5 yard curls and screens. Antonio Brown looked extremely good. Blazing speed and made some nice sharp cuts. Portis did not play at all. For all you D. McCants fans out there some bad news. He only played 2nd team special teams. I saw Chris Cooley walking off the field and I yelled Warpath.net, don't know if he heard though lol. One thing I was impressed with was the amount of people that were there. They said 35,000 for a scrimmage is amazing. Also, Ray Lewis proved to me again how awesome he is. He had at least 12 tackles, 3 sacks and had a pick, rediculous. Our middle linebacker position looked a little suspect. No one really grabbed my attention there. I know its early, but was maybe hoping to see someone shine a bit. That's bout it from my point of view.

Thanks for the report, skin4life28. On Gibbs presser, he said Dmac had stiches in his hand, so they held him out of the O stuff. (Can't help his chances being hurt, though...)

Gibbs press conference is up on skins.com:http://www.redskins.com/

I went to the game today and from what I saw Portis was in but didnt touch the ball very much.I didnt think Ramsey looked that bad for being the first scrimmage.When they were doing the seven on seven drill I saw him whip two touchdown passes between two defenders, it was pretty sweet.also we blocked a punt attempt and that fired me right up.I was also pleasntly surprised to see just how many redskin fans were there. I say it was close to 60/40.There was a group of redskin fans playing beer pong in the parking lot and when I walked by in my Arrington jersey one of them handed me a card for extremeskins.com. So I told them I was already a member of the warpath and he said thats cool, so long as were all skins fans.other than that I didnt feel like we stunk the place up so everybody just chill out and wait for the real thing.

Good post, love them hogs. Nice to hear the skins community was representing.

Until Ramsey wins us some games, he's going to be under the microscope, in DC and elsewhere.

It sounds like there are somethings for the o-line to work on. Guys, don't forget that these games don't count. Ramsey got sacked four times, but sometimes in this kind of scrimmage, we are trying to see what how we can control a defense. I know that sounds crazy, but coaches like to put the offense in a few bad positions to see how the players react and also see if defenses act predictably. Then, they can design ways to exploit it.

If anyone noticed, when Ramsey got sacked, what formation were we in? 2 or 3 wideouts? Anything consistant? Were we being balanced or just passing?

It will probably take our o-line longer to gel than any other part of the team, but does anyone here not think this line is better than last years? I think that even with last years line and Gibbs familiarity with Portis, he could see 1600+ yards rushing. That should help keep those blitzers in check!

I'm not going to get too excited or too disappointed over a scrimmage. I've read some other boards today that are full of people calling for Campbell to be the starter, I mean c'mon, get a grip.

I totally agree, Matty. Some folks out there in skins land are going nuts.

At least from now on there's another game every week!!!

I heard Ramsey was 5/8 for 37 yards...

And people want him benched?

Ugh

Some people are even saying he wasn't that bad, I guess I'll wait to see what JC says about it.

Guess what he said? "We've got some work to do..."

What a surprise. lol.

BTW, Ramsey hit a nice pass out of the shotgun--that was his formation in college. Hopefully, Gibbs will get comfortable with it.

Amen! Ade Jimoh was starting for Christ's sake! Our defense was missing Griffin, Arrington, Springs (for part of the "game"), Rogers, and others. I'm not too worried about them,

As for the calls for Campbell to start; the guy could be great, but he's still raw, raw, raw. He's played in drills in camp against backups and one scrimmage against third stringers, he hasn't played in one single game let alone a regular season game. I think some people need to lay off the Madden for a bit.
