Biggest surprise thus far?

I said in another thread that I am eating serious crow and will likely continue to do so as Brunell shows how he's got plenty in the tank. I was furious with Gibbs when he decided to replace Ramsey with Brunell. Apparently, Gibbs knows more about football than I do (which I always admitted). Also, he apparently knew a lot more about Brunell than I did.

PS-I'm also eating crow on the Coles-Moss deal. I thought Coles was the real deal and Moss was an unknown quantity. Well, that unknown quantity appears to be a heck of a lot better than anything we've had here in D.C. since Art Monk. I guess I'll be eating crow for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert.

Both of those I can say 100% I was wrong about as well.

I will admit Ramseyfan, Gibbs does know more about football than you. But it's okay, your'e a winner now buddy!

Thanks, it's just unfortunate that Gibbs has not quite grasped the game of football like you SUNRA.

I'm going to go a different route here and say "Where's Patten?"

Moss as the number one receiver doesn't surprise me all that much, but the gap between him and Patten is huge. I think someone hear, in another thread, had correctly said that the gap between Brunell and Ramsey and between Portis and Betts isn't nearly as big as that between Moss and Patten.

I don't know why it is, but Patten has been essentially irrelevant this season so far. I really thought he'd be a much bigger factor.

And also, where's the aggression on defense? When are they going to break Springs loose on one of those classic corner blitzes?

Patten is starting to be a factor, he had 7 catches last week and would have been close to 100 yards if it wasn't for that ticky tack PI call.

You know I forgot all about that PI call. I sure hope they start to get him more involved.

Thank you. Don't patronize me. :smashfrea

Every week it seems like he gets closer to getting a big play. I think it is just a matter of time. Maybe this week.

Who would have thought that the WR position would be a strength for the team? Oh yeah, I did! Moss, Patten, Thrash, Jacobs!!!

I think Patten is getting more balls thrown his way. Unfortunately, the plays have worked against us rather than helped us. The TD called back was a prime example. Patten is going across the middle and a catching the screen pass which was successful in getting first downs. What I like about the two WR's is their ability to gain first downs consecutively in a drive. That spells more points in the near future.

Maybe it's because Patten's catches so far haven't had quite the immediate impact that Moss' have that I'm not noticing DP. I'll be sure to pay closer attention this week as he goes for 105 and a touch.
