I'm very concerned about the INT rate of Ramsey. If you add up all of Ramsey's playing time in the 4 preseason games, it probably amounts to close to 60 minutes of action. And he threw 4 picks in that time. 4 picks over the course of one NFL game would certainly kill us every week.
I don't really think you can project those stats over a game. There's just so many variables and he had a definite progression throughout the course of the preseason...

I agree with you on that one, Bleed. I mean if that were the case Portis would have rushed for damn near 200 yds in a couple of games so far.

If this wasn't the legend Joe Gibbs, I honestly would be far more critical of what I see as the same problems that seem to prevent this team from rising from the depths of mediocricy to dominance. The wideout positions are not balanced with size and speed. In the red zone, we NEED a big receiver who can go up and grab the ball in the endzone. Cooley at 6'3" is a Halfback/Tightend and is a big target but he is the only legitimate target. Forget about Dyson, it ain't happening. Gibbs was never sold on McCants, so why not find several big rookies or free agents to replace him. Instead we have one "has been" and the smurfs children.

I realize that Ramsey is neither Brady or Manning, but the Pats and Colts don't have "big, red zone threats"
The top receivers for both Indy and NE are all 6 feet or under. I'm not counting David Terrell because he just joined the Pats and they've done just fine without him the past few years
What about Royal? He caught 4 TDs last year and he should be in the same kind of role this year.

But if Patrick protects the ball and the O-Line gets nasty, maybe we can beat the eagles this year and get back to respectability.

I think Royal will have big a impact this year. Wach for him down in the red-zone as teams key in on Cooley.

Royal just can't stay healthy. Besides we need maximum protection for Ramsey.

The thing with Ramsey is he has thrown more INTs intended for Coles last year and Moss this year, that I'm convinced his throwing ability maybe limited to bigger WRs like Royal,Cooley especially in the redzone. I am aware that timing is essential and Ramsey is not there yet.
